Fomo, great video. What will Samsung do to the Q990F? Doesn’t seem like there’s much much to be done left. I guess I can redesign it to make it look a little nicer, but it’s doubtful that they’re going to get much better out of this unit.
Another great job FOMO !!!
Klipsch just launched 2 new soundbars and sub and rear speakers the Klipsch flexus core 100 and 200
Samsung's motto: We COULD make the soundbar you already bought from us sound better with a free software update, but we don't value existing customers that much ;)
You act like other brands don’t do that, look at Sony & lg lmao they just change the design a bit & it fools people like you
@@ghostpimp Usually when one A-Hole is successful at making money by giving less, others A-holes follow. Just because I didn't comment on the whole industry, and every other kind of business out there, doesn't mean I think only Samsung is guilty of doing something wrong. But I guess "people like you" need to have that kind of thing spelled out for them
I think the biggest upgrade they could have brought is to allow connection of an additional subwoofer, as just 120hz input is not changing much for the extra price 🙃
I've been waiting for the S990C to drop for my 77"S90C. As always FOMO ty for the review and insight.
You can get the B for 849 from mart of walls
Thanks! Great review brother! Thank you ! First time I see you, but I subscribed, I know I’ll be learning a lot from you! 🙏🏽👌🏽
By the way, I’m a triple A member, but I could find that in the special program on Samsung, and your video where you explain this matter, didn’t show. Would you mine sharing the link to that video of yours?
I'm not sure if triple A "Members" get a discount like employees of tech companies do but check Samsung employee discounts or triple a's discount website

I wish you can do a review on the Nakamichi dragon 11.4.6 some day...
Much awaited video....❤
The Q990D blows the Q990c out of the water
@@michael-4k4000 does it?
@karthikr177 trust me, I just bought the Q990c last week for $706 from Samsung direct. The Q990d is the cats meow, bad case of FOMO setting in....
@@michael-4k4000 but apart from the4k 120 pass tru and the rear speakers having the ability that's mentioned the other specks are the same
I picked up the Q990C for $706. Bucks the Q990D is the cats meow, HDMI 2.1, Roon, Active Voice Amplifier, etc. I got a BAD case of FOMO here!!!
You forgot to mention that the 4k 120hz pass through should eliminate the audio delay that plagues the Xbox Series X/S consoles when playing Dolby Atmos. I find it funnny that no reviewers ever seem to mention about this when it's such a big issue that might finally be fixed due to 2.1 pass through.
HDMI 2.1 was the biggest upgrade.
That delay is from the internal audio reformatting of the Xbox. It has nothing to do with HDMI 2.1 passthrough. Always run the Xbox in 5.1 or 7.1 LPCM for surround.
@@sleepinglama14 Sorry I didn't really explain it correctly. Dolby Atmos works perfectly on the Xbox when you pass through my soundbar BUT my soundbar is only hdmi 2.0 so I lose access to 4k 120hz HDR, etc doing it that way. Therefore my only option is to connect the Xbox to TV, then TV to soundbar via earc. This is what creates the audio delay. Now the new soundbar has hdmi 2.1 I can finally feed the Xbox through the soundbar without having to sacrifice ANYTHING and I also will have zero audio delay. Hopefully you understand now 🤞
@@commonlynasty7987 switch to pcm or passthrough on tv and set audio delay in tv settings
unfortunately it's only the Q990D that has 4k 120hz too so if you don't want to spend that much or need that many speakers, any of the lower tier Q9xxD or even Q8xxD will only have 4k 60hz
Roon users would most likely have a dedicated hifi stereo setup or an avr setup at the least in the same space as the tv on which they would listen to their music (facilitated by Roon). But if you have a separate tv room or something it's nice to have it as a Roon endpoint as well I guess.
I appreciate the video. Wish you could side by side them. But helpful nonetheless.
Just picked up yesterday the Samsung q990c for $660 from Brandsmart 🔥
You win!!
Love Brandsmart and VE!!!

@@playafly131is Brandsmart in the USA? Do they sell the Sony HT A9
@@michael-4k4000 they sure are and yes they carry it!
Thank you very much for the video. I wanna buy the 990C And I have a monitor with two hdmi ports And an rtx 4060. Will I be able to get Dolby Atmos With this configuration!?
Is it possible to connect/hook this system or any soundbar system to a PC?
Almost bought the Q990C using the link provided yesterday but it doesn't work anymore today. Any suggestions?
If it's basically a firmware update will this update be available for people who already own the 990C, If so sticking with what you have and just adding the update surely is the best bet.
I want to know the sound differences in gaming via Q990D sound bar vs TV.
the D versions this year bring back chromecast support for NAMER customers too!
You can use the photo wall frame speakers as speakers if you use a 2024 Samsung tv...it is part of the Q symphony that enhance the 990 C or D sound bar
But it works only one frame, so u can maybe use that back center or other side only, so it's very stupid thing. If u can use two frame both side it would be great, but no u can't.
I have an old LG B7 with no eArc. If I want to connect a blu ray player with dolby atmos, can i plug it into the 990c as input and output to TV? Or do I need the hdmi 2.1 input on the 990d?
yes, plug directly into 990c then output to TV
Hello, trying to get a flagship sound system. I was thinking of the Sony HT A7000 with the SA-SW5 300W sub woofer. Do you think Sony will have a new one soon? How does it compare vs this Samsung
tbf i think based clean setup and user friendly and sound quality, it rather go for sony then for this years 990d.
get the samsung soundbar. I had the a7000 with the bigger sub and the lack of a dedicated center channel kills this system. samsung sound bar sounds way better
Hi do you know when it be available in united-kingdom?
Thanks
hdmi 2.1
Are the rear speakers from the 990c wired and from the 990d wireless??
both are wireless so get the S990C to save a little money
is it necessary to have the 2.1 hdmi? i just use it for my tv, mostly just movie, youtube and musics only. i dont play games on tv since i got a pc. since the price is super difference between this 2 soundbars here in my country.
not important if you have more then one earc connection on tv.
is it even important with gaming on console? i tried it never used it again. graphics downgraded, horrible controll with joypad, it start to get annoying very fast.
@@eventhorizon2873lol how can the graphics be downgreaded with a soundbar?😂 the soundbar can‘t change the graphics on a tv😂
I have both q990b on 77C1 and q990c my daily 65C2. If I mention "another soundbar" my wife gonna kill me... Honesty, only bass is little better on C model, but if you you bass enchantment on B model you can get 80% close to C.
@metamorfoza7656 Hi man, I have same "type of wife" here, so I know whay are you going through :). My question is, do you have some rear speakers disconnections, or do you wish to have more voice clarity in movies? I have also Q990b (grab it for amazing deal around 500EUR), but thinking upgrading them for D models. (Also have Samsung NEO QLED 2020 QN85C as main TV. Thanks for reply.😊
Feel your pain. I changed up from a 2.1 to a 5.1 bar. My wife said it's a soundbar it doesn't matter. I was hurt. We spend time anally tinkering for the perfect mix, when wives, in general, are just happy to enjoy it 🙃
Honestly i ordered the samsung 55qn90d with the 990c for about €2600(with a discount at media markt/saturn of €300 plus kalibration by the store for free at value of €100) so i think i'm very much set for at least like 7 or more years...
Do LG S95QR vs S95TR please
I'm picking up a 990D for my LG G4...What are your thoughts what am I losing and gaining by NOT purchasing an LG Soundbar.
You’ll gain a Samsung soundbar and you will lose LG soundbar.
If I connect the soundbar to earc to my Samsung s90c and then connect my pc to the other hdmi 2.1 and passthrough the audio. Will I get the best audio possible without any loss or would it be better to connect the soundbar directly to the pc ? That’s the only thing keeping me from buying the q990c. Can anyone help ? The s90c has 4 ports hdmi 2.1 so that is not an issue. I just want to know if will affect anything with the audio passing through.
there should be no noticeable difference in sound quality
@@stopthefomo also no delay as well ? Guess I’ll just get the well priced q990c then.
Hi bro my Samsung soundbar Q990C is not working just 1 orange Light is on. I m going to samsung service centers butt he is noy resolving this problem i m just 2 months ago buy the Samsung Q990C soundbar. Pls help me Thanks
990c comes with soundbar, rears and sub? Or sub is seperate
Come with sub
@@ccarcani wtf. It's damn good deal. (me coming from sonos arc sub and eras lol)
Alot cheaper then sonos arc and many have said sound better too. I love my q950a which is almost the same exact thing as this one...better than my actual circa1999 cheap 5.1 RCA home theater from Walmart
@@heibaimaoera300s?
Hi , my tv has 4 hdmi 2.1 inputs so am I loosing something ? , my ps5 and pc are connected to the tv and I use a 990C , it doesnt have hdmi 2.1 as many people want this feature , is it because they dont have a tv with hdmi 2.1 ?
If your consoles are directly plugged in your tv, it won't make a difference. Only the sound will return to your soundbar. And 2.1 doesn't do any more for the sound 🙃
@@MunKeeButt67 thank you amigo
@@TheLorDRex dts will shoe up as multi channel pcm in some situations, but just now it's a bit of a minefield. My Amazon music is Atmos on firestick, but not on TV app, but hdmi sockets tend to behave better 🙃
Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a Q900c and then buy the rear 9500S speakers separately? I saw that they were cheaper together, than the full Q990c. Are the 9500S' the same as the rear speakers on the Q990C, is that true?
They are different speakers. As far as I know, Samsung does not sell the rear speakers that come with the Q990c or D. Wish had a tech support that could actually answer a question like yours rather than just speaking to a rep in Guam and your speaking with a person that doesn’t have the system and it’s probably never used the system and just read from a script. Bose needs to come out with rear speakers that fire upwards.
No more FOMO for me. I am installing my new NEO QN-90c with the Q-990c. I can't wait to play Dr Strange!
When will Samsung support two subwoofers....?
I just use the sound bar with tv for watching tv , movie and music Does it mean there is no need to buy q990d and q990c is enough for me? Thx
Thanks!
I have the q990b is the q990d worth the upgrade ?
absolutely not , I'd like the 120 passthrough on my XSX , but the hardware is the same as Q990B
Isn't google home an addition?
What's up with that private rear sound. Sounds like it could be on Q990c via firmware or something. Lame
Just had the q990d delivered yesterday with the student discount. I’m a gamer so it was clear for me.
hows the sound
How much u pay son? Have the Q990c and was looking to upgrade. The Q990D could easily fit the bill!!!!
@@michael-4k4000 literally pointless to upgrade from a C to a D.
@@The_Punisher202if you game yes lol😂
@@interistapazzo1.9.0.8 tf does gaming have to do with it because it has hdmi 2.1? Big whoop most TVs have inputs for that so your point is kind of flawed.
I’m verified through the Samsung Military Offers Program and I’m logged in on my account but don’t see the same pricing? Am I missing something???
Yeah same. I don't see where he's pulling these prices from.
@@RD-D I was able to confirm military offers don’t apply for this yet. I was however able to lock in that price under an education account. I got my q990D delivered a few days ago and love it!
@@SgtEspysame. I am going to use my sister's account instead.
Dolby Atmos has taken over not much content in DTS DTS X etc.. is PCM multi channel 🤔 better than DTS DTS X or ATMOS?
how can i buy the Q990d sound bar at a discount
Greentoe
Is HDMI 2.1 such a big deal? Just for netflix and PS5 gaming.
It’s the only reason that stops me from buying the 990C.
NOPE. HDMI 2.1 is if you need gamingi n 4k120 VRR + HDR otherwise it's fine
@@stopthefomo heard there are some audio delays if you plug PS5 to TV and soundbar to TV with earc so plugging the PS5 to soundbar with 2.1 and then soundbar to TV via earc is the best way to go

Wiec nie ma znaczenia fakt że mam 4x hdmi 2.1 w TV? Tylko to powstrzymuje mnie od zakupu Q990C a nigdzie nie mogę znaleźć precyzyjnej odpowiedzi.
Well that's disappointing and unsurprising, all the other Q series D soundbars from Samsung all have 4k 60hz except the most expensive bundle of Q990D. I don't need that many speakers
WHAT'S DISAPPOINTING IS WHEN PAIRED WITH A SAMSUNG TV 📺 THERE IS NO DTS X OR DTS DD PLUS, DOLBY ATMOS AND MULTI-CHANNEL PCM ARE AVAILABLE
You have to connect your Blu Ray Player / Console directly to the Soundbar then you have all surround formats available.
@@timoschmidt1136this!!! lol
What? That can't be true. No DTS makes sense, but the rest should all be supported.
@@timoschmidt1136He shouldn't even have to do that except to get DTS. I don't believe for a second that his TV's eARC can't passthrough Dolby Digital or PCM. Even old school optical cables can do that.
@@nelsonw9483DTS absolutely decoded 😀
Q990C at $839 is the best deal!
Do you where to purchase at this price?
It's our if stock at Samsung
I don't see a big enough reason to upgrade from a q950a honestly. Sure the cloth isn't great if you have cats, but as you could assume I do not 😂
My cats love to lay on my sound bar it’s so annoying. I just got the 990D from 950A

I have the Q950A also. Is the Q990D much of an upgrade regards sound quality and bass.
@@gm95265 sound quality is better and bass is definitely better but not mind blowing better as far as bass but I’m happy with it

Just grabbed the C for $700 plus tax. Lets see how it does.

Q: What is one of the best choices for soundbar for Vizio TVs and within the price range of 4 to 600 Dallas?
Thank you in advance.
$200 Vizio V series howl.me/clNwM1KWxBz $600 M series howl.me/clNwRFdvxrM are hard to beat for the price. M gets louder, bass hits lower
@stopthefomo I thank you, and appreciate your work put in on this platform.
Where can i get that price of $840 ?
I’m interested too, I’ve asked but can’t find anything under 1000
He explains it at the end of the video
I get the impression that the B, C, D in the model name is a bit of a con. I’m pretty sure the improvements the last couple of years are primarily software driven and the model number change is solely to hold back updates and improvements from existing owners in order to try and extract more money in upgrades. Spending so much on these and then having them hold back updates after just 12 months is pretty poor.
I got a real dilema here hope someone can offer some advice. I want great speakers, google home connectivity, and good voice amplification. The q990C and D both have the good speakers and google home connectivity. Can anyone say if the voice amp is fine on the C or just way better on the D? Lastly your choice comes with the option to buy the (q990C at $570) or (q990D at $937)... Any advice will be appreciated. Im just tired of constantly raising and lowering my tvs volume during movies or tv shows
where are these prices?
Honestly I have not been able to tell the difference in sound quality from the 2022 2023 and 2024 version of their soundbar 😅 and in terms of 4k 120 pass tru most ppl will have more than enough ports on their tv and for the Roon certification is honestly pointless is a soundbar after all .
TVs pass through Audio like crap imo. The ability to have 2 hdmi 2.1s on Sounbar is nice.
@@allenmoldovan I find it irrelevant as 4 hdmi 2.1 on the tv is enough for me while one of them is arc still have 3 2.1 free which is enough for me
Samsung is ridiculous. The ONLYYYYY Q series D that has the 4k 120hz passthrough is the Q990D btw, all the other -D soundbars only have 4k 60hz so buyers beware if you assume they all have it.
Q990c still 1600 euro in Ireland.... Q990b still over 1k
£945 currently on amazon uk
Add sterling exchange rate and Vat, still very expensive for last years model
code doesnt work says invalid
My Whokeys code is invalid?? SF20 works I just checked!
I would get the Nakamichi Dragon instead
but it's 4 times more expensive than the $850 Q990C! It's like telling me to get the Porsche instead of the Camry?!
Too expensive!
If you're spending Nakamichi money you're better off with a receiver and speakers.
@@VanDammage87exactly
if you have the money and patience. you have to wait along time for preorder.
nakamichi does not have production capacity like samsung.
some parts are even handmade
What is this review? You claim to compare then say things like... "well the night mode on the 990C is APPARANTLY also good" what??? COMPARE THEM THEN... you did the same thing with the voice enhance feature on both... MAJOR MAJOR let down !!
Question is the rear speakers WIRELESS cause the Q990C you had to Wire the rear speakers
I have the 990C and the rears are wireless. You only have to plug them into the wall for power. No wires to run to the soundbar.
all wireless, only power cords
@wxman2003 that's what I ment im sorry I was hoping you didn't have to plug in a power cord this time thought it would've been more Bluetooth powered because I have the Samsung s95C 77" but I have no power plugs for the rear speakers
@stopthefomo thank you for even responding I watch you all the time I learn alot from you but why do you think they do power cored instead of Bluetooth Powered cause in my situation I have the Samsung S95C 77" but how my house is built I don't have no where to plug in the rear speakers at all so now I don't know what to do or the next best soundbar to get because I really wanted to keep it all samsung and not mix up the name brands I wanted that Q Symphony Sound and experience that.
@@chipmccray7546All Soundbar systems and Receiver Systems are going to be powered in order to play audio. The only option would be the JBL 1300X with wireless rear speakers that are rechargeable (and can be powered as well). It’s more expensive, but will meet your completely wireless needs.
So its not worth it. Buy the 990c. Its the best soundbar for the low money it coast
Absolutely
tbf i think the 990d it is full of bs features except 120hz passtrough for those who care.
the rest is all downgrade when you let AI run your calibration/experience. it just sound so poor
First!!
Thanks FOMO
None of these 😂
