Really like your reviews. You cover the audiophile side as well as the general consumer and how each may or may not like that product. Great job once again.
I bought this setup after hearing it in a store and being very impressed. At home it just sounds incredible.
Craig Thomas you don’t have any problems with the rear speakers breaking up? I’m trying to decided between the Q80 with no surrounds and the Q90 with the surrounds.
James Adkins III that issue has been fixed with an update. It works perfectly now 👍
I bought it and I am still impressed. No cutting issues ever
I got the SoundBar for $1,200 bundled with my TV and it's my First Sound Bar ever.. I'm sure I'll love it since I haven't had one before!
How has the experience been so far?
I'd like to hear your review. I've had a $50 walmart soundbar for 2 years. It's a little better than my TV speakers. Would love to hear your input
mình vừa test trên kênh samsung q90r vs 1 cặp dalton group lại 1600w x2 mọi người cho đánh giá nha
Exchanged the Sony St-5000 i recently purchased for this new Samsung unit. This was dont yesterday and with the short amount of time ive had to play with it ive been extremely impressed. The Sony st-5000 was a great soundbar but at my place I was having a very hard time hearing the voices come in clearly. With this new unit and the additional back speakers I'm not having this same issue. The main center bar is crisp, loud and clear. im excited to continue messing with the settings of the soundbar system as im impressed for only having it in use for a day thus far. So far this thing is a beast!
@Daniel. How is the soundbar after the last few days? I am torn between the HTST5000 and the Q90R. Unfortunately my local shops don't have them on display.
stephen jones it’s amazing! Sounds like a movie theater in the house. Working well for me so far
@@grinch65 thanks for the reply. I went for the sony as am not sure I could place the rears because of my room setup. Looking forward to hearing the sony atmos.
I had that same connection issue with my surround speakers for my sound bar as well. You have to change your WiFi frequency channel. Just contact your internet provider to do it. Once I did that I had no issues.
Well done u didn't run ur mouth to much very informative and hooked us up with a great demo. Finally someone that isn't just getting 15 min of fame. My hats off to u cuz.
Great review! Thank you.
I would like more focus on dialogue when reviewing soundbars and surround sound in general.
I cracked, I found it sold for 999€ instead of 1500€, I couldn't resist! What a sound, I am absolutely conquered by my purchase, everything works perfectly! It changes me from my tiny 2.1 samsung sound bar that I had before. Santa Claus came a bit late, but I don't blame him too much... :D
Thank you Shane for the review! The return of the "crackle monster" as I call it. This is the same problem I had with the HW-K950, except the HW-K950 did it on ALL sources, including bluray. And if what you were listening to on the HW-K950 just so happened to be in DTS (which most of my blurays are), it paired down the audio signal to 2.0 stereo!!! Even after the firmware update, which was supposed to bump everything to 5.1 at least, it never worked.
The crackle thing is still a bit worrisome, even if it only effects streaming content. It doesn't sound like Samsung has worked out all of the bugs of a surround soundbar system yet. Their second attempt is better, but I think I'm going to hold off to see if they can get it totally right on a possible third attempt.
Thanks again for the review! You just saved me a good chunk of change (spare change)!
vgv
I have this system with a Q90R 65" and it's great when you have a 4k blu ray with Atmos, but you don't notice much with standard 5.1 content on Netflix or other streaming sites. Though I can say it is much clearer than standard tv speakers in every situation. I never turn my tv over volume 25, and it goes up to 100. I can't imagine what that sounds like.
This is the most honest review video I've seen on TH-cam on this same product for that reason I subscribe only to your channel thank you, I was looking to upgrade my Logitech z906 there's a pros and cons to everything product out there, I was looking for a soundbar or speakers that you get that Heights speaker sound from the roof but thanks to your review, what put me off about the SAMSUNG Q90R Soundbar is the bass No Bass hardly bass don't get me wrong I do want speakers to just sound clear, but also I want bass also when you're watching and listening to gunshots in films you want power to hear that thunder bass thanks a lot you save me so money not purchasing this product, I've had so many different surround speakers in the past over the years so I know what I'm looking for I'm going to stick with my Logitech z906 for now because of the base and power and loudness until I see something new that comes on the market where I get the roof sound speakers sound I'm going to keep my Logitech. The only thing that disappoint me about the SAMSUNG Q90R Soundbar is the lack of bass, you do get the roof sound with the SAMSUNG Q90R Soundbar but the bass is not really there for me so I will give it a miss for that reason!
It does has base but it depends on the source.....
@@DarkKnight-gi5vd ok king thanks and happy new year lol
Welcome and happy new year to you too!
Nakamichi Shockwafe 9.2.4 SSE is the best, IMO. It comes with 2 subs and 4 surround sound speakers, and is 1000w rated. It is badass
Great review as usual I really appreciate all the in depth critiques that you do it builds trust in your viewers which I very much appreciate. Keep it up be safe/healthy.
I chose the Nakimachi 9.2.4. Sound bar system. Its amazing! I have no regrets on buying the Nakimachi over the Q90R. The Q90R is impressive especially that huge front bar but I wanted a more immersive sound all around you and the Nakimachi gives that to you. Two two 10 inch subs is powerful but not overwhelming. You can’t really tell where the sub sound is coming from since it’s from both sides. The four rear and side speakers 🔊 🔊 🔊 🔊 can create that illusion of sound all around you. My friend has the Q90R and I’m kind if jealous I can’t have both. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 still no regrets.
I've never had those connection issue and I've had mine for 7 months.
Has to be interferce like you said.
I love this sound bar system. Decent price and no hassles.
I have the n950 and I had the same issues when streaming, I had to move my route a bit closer due to interference and it did help alot.
@@jjguillen65 i have wall Cat 6 that might be why i haven't experienced it. sometimes the sound might be off, or turns off when i watch youtube but simply just cycling to HDMI 2 back to your input it fixes it.
@@leighagnello7993 I will switch mine to HDMI 2.
It just got released a month ago.
@@5324TuiG the N950 is last years model that im refering to. exactly the same besides sub is minor + eARC and a new mode
Please do a review of sonos arc with surrounds and sub comparing hw-Q90R
The wireless rear/sub disconnection issue was present on both units I tried. Firmware update 1008 fixed it for me. The only other issue I have is the audio sync adjustment only goes up in positive ms increments, not negative. It’s not a fault of the soundbar per se but paired with an Xbox One X there is very noticeable audio and lip sync delay with bitstream audio (required for Dolby Atmos) that can’t be adjusted for.
Picked this up on a sale for 850 bucks. Gets here next week. Can’t wait!
From where?
Do the Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro 7.1.4 Pleeeeaassse I trust your opinion Shane!
Which soundbar just generally sounds good? Meaning for music, gaming, in general watching videos like TH-cam, etc. I won't be watching DTS/Dolby Atmos films all the time so I at least want a soundbar that can do the other things good too since I will spend more time with those media.
The Q90R is basically Harmon / Kardon, just like Transformers, robots in disguise.
You should review the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4Ch 1000W Dolby Atmos Soundbar
Can I use the Nakamichi soundbar with a yahama av780 receiver? I believe the Nakamichi has an amplifier. Since the Nakamichi soundbar has an amplifier isn't it more for people with out and AV Reciever?
the only thing missing in the video is playing movies and you giving your thoughts on those scenes like you did with other sounders, other then that good review
Maybe it has something to do with copyright...
I was settled on this speakers once I tested them out. You have to hear it in person. They sound really really good. But that "cutting in and out" is giving me second thoughts.
Good review
Where do you get the demo discs and why don't they sell them in stores? A disc should be in the box when you buy one of these things.
You're right, but there are some websites like demolandia and the digital theatre that make you download all sound tests without compression
How to play it
@@rin360lew4 ?
Never going back to sound-bar/HTIB again.happy with my 3.1 HT setup.
I have the N950, which is almost identical, in an area with weak WiFi reception and never had any rear speaker dropouts until I put a Netgear Orbi in the room next to it. Now I get constant dropouts.
So thanks for the tip. Now we just need a solution.
Cody Konior perhaps change the frequency of the router? See if that helps
I have to recommend the Definitive Technology Studio Advance or the older W studio(W studio had HDMI 1.4 the advance has 2.0 otherwise mostly the same) sound bar. They don’t support Atmos or DTS X but the sound quality is superior to many sound bars I’ve tried. The sub woofer is the star of the set up. It can get real low but is not bloated like most sound bar subs. I would love to see you review one to hear what you think.
Can you please review the nakamichi 9.2 soundbar ?
CrashAlw7sh yes. I second this please.
Can u please tell me what were your EQ level settings for each speaker? Please and Thank u
Please compare this to latest jbl 9.1. Thank you and appreciate so much
hey, great video. i just got the Q90R soundbat - its great. I didn't even set it correctly yet. I'm using the soundbar only - the back speakers are not connected yet.
My question - did the DTS x demo sound come with box? mine didn't.
How do i set the sound correctly? tnx
I agree with others please review Nakamichi shockwafe 9.2.4 sse.
Nakamichi was already a great soundbar and since the inclusion of Dolby Atmos (DTS:X was already there from the beginning) it truly has become one hell of a soundbar, almost as good as a regular AV receiver speaker setup at that point!
@@coloniellizardt4191 only thing I hope they do in the future is invest more r&d in the subwoofers. They sound awesome now dont get me wrong...they are just HUGE.
It doesn't support wifi streaming...it supports bluetooth as sound quality will not be good.
@@coloniellizardt4191 I think it doesn't have upfiring speakers
@@green_life7 No it doesn't.
JUST SUBSCRIBED! I just bought this soundbar last week and it's awesome. Still trying to figure a good movie to watch to get the best performance. I'm coming from a Klipsch soundbar. I been looking at the Nakamichi 9.2 ch soundbar but jumped the gun on the Samsung because it was available in my BestBuy and the Nakamichi wasn't. I still have 11 days to return the bar, but I'm really happy so far. I know the Nakamichi has 2 extra side speakers so it should sound better and more power at 1000w should sound louder, but I have to say I haven't put the Samsung Q90R soundbar over 25 which goes to 100, and I have an open floor plan. If you can please review the Nakamichi 9.2 ch soundbar to see the difference in your own opinion, as I've seen other TH-camrs review them as well; Want to get more insight and you know what to look for. I've seen review on the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar, but at $2,500 is out of my range, but would like to know your opinion on this as well. Because from my research the (Samsung Q90R, Nakamichi 9.2, & the Sennheiser AMBEO Soundbar) are the best soundbars on the market to handle Atmos/DTSX.
YOU MENTIONED WHAT FILM TO TRY YOUR SET WITH?SAVING PRIVATE RYAN 4KHDR AND SANN ANDREAS 4KHDR WITH THE ROCK?GOOD LUCK.😉👊
You say that you have an open floor plan. Does that mean that there isn't a wall nearby for the side firing speakers? If that's the case do you feel that you are still hearing/feeling the effects from these speakers?
Excellent video. On another subject, do you have plans to review or audition the new ‘Sennheiser Ambeo bar’? Thank you
Wow I am thoroughly surprised by how far sound bars have come! They are no longer a gimmick or stereo sounding! The addition of Atmos in the rear speakers is much appreciated. Strange how the sound kept cutting out though!
Ah come on did you see the price, its a total rip off, the up-firing atmos is still a gimmick and the sub is below par for the price and wireless surrounds are buggy.
For the same price you could get a decent 2.1 setup with receiver that would blow the socks of this soundbar with options to upgrade down the line.
Jimmy2Shoes Not... Really
@@jimmy2shoes75 Soundbars used are extremely good for the price. I got my Q90R (3 years later of course, but still) for only $330. A little banged up, but extremely worth the price, way better (in my opinion) than buying a 2.1 setup for about the same price.
no wonder that the rear disconnects. You updated the soundbar but you need to repeat procedure for the rears and sub with a different remote button press sequence. At least only show on video the soundbar being updated, samsung is not clear on this. I had some disconects but once i updated both soundbar and rears+subs its fine and glorious.
Having a hard time finding this soundbar as it was last years model. A friend who's a salesman said he would give me the 950T for about 1400 cad but I've read that its not as good. I found an open box q90r for 1200cad. Do you think that's a good deal still?
How does it play DolbyA and DTSx through a Samsung tv like the Q9Fn? The Q9fn doesn't have eARC and doesn't support atmos, but yet they say this soundbar was made to pair with their QLED line?
Brother your comments are true. There is a truth in your message. Thank you
Okay I understand it cutting out maybe that could be fixed in the future but the subwoofer bottoming out seriously. At this price point it's ridiculous. They could have made a replica of the Dayton audio sub-1200 for the soundbar and still make plenty of profit off the Soundbar.
great video helped me with my decision. can you do a review on the Bose 700 and all the 700 accessories???
im between this and bose 700,what did you choosed and why? much appreciated
@@ionelmantea7793 Bose 700 for me, super clear. I could care less about Dolby Atmos... its not like every single piece of content has dolby atmos anyway, this is like trying to get a 4k 6-7 years ago, when barely anything was 4k. Bose just sounds super clean and clear and no distortion in the bass 700... also the other big thing is the Bose 700 headphones now pairs with the soundbar. Awesomeeee cuz I wanna watch crazy loud movies late at night and instead of neighbors or people you may live with getting all pissy, you just watch movies with headphones, and i cant find any systems that output to headphones, it would require a separate device, but then you gotta fumble around disconnecting cables and the sound sucks anyways for whats out there. So def #1 the clean sound, booming base and #2 i can use my bose 700 headphones with it, and thats a huuuge plus for me
@@Bigups5ify same,i went for 700
Should I connect all my game consoles to sound bar or should I connect them directly to tv? I have q90 TV and q90 sound bar plus PS4, XBox X, Apple TV 4K best result
Any updates about the promised earc firmware update?
Please review the nakamichi shockwafe models....especially with dual subs.... Please please... need too know how it compares to the hw-q90r.
Great review
The “break down” in blue tooth makes this a “no sale!”
Great review though!!
Larry
Fixed with newest update!
which subwoofer hits better, Subwoofer Q90r or swa-w700?
Swa700 certainly.
How's does this compare to the new JBL bar 9.1 soundbar? I heard great reviews for that thing.
Excellent review and an expected result.
Certainly my next purchase.
Dont. Just dont do it. It's faulty, doesnt work right, loses connection between speakers, doesnt even give output on the subwoover and the rear speakers. Dont buy these, i regret it BIG TIME
@@phantomsoul8937 *DAMN! This is exactly what's worrying me, yet most people rave about how great they sound... so why are around 7% of customers running into this issue? The current price of around $1400 is a lot of money to spend on a soundbar, IMO!*
I had a lot of trouble with my Samsung TV not able to use arc anymore.. I fixed if and now everything is back how it should be working.. I like it a lot.
How did u fix it?
@@timowthie this issue still exist??
Switch off tv, take out power cable and all hdmi cables, hold down the power button the remote for 1 min to drain everything.
Leave it like this for 1 hour, then put one hdmi cable at a time and make sure your tv see the connected cable.
I believe thz is one of d best reviews I hv come across... Keep up.... U got a subscriber
Please review Nakamitchi 9.2 ch soundbar. It is quite powerful.
Totally agree
Still got my old K950. Best advice for disconnecting sub and rear speakers/ Bluetooth problems is to get some ferrite rings for all power cords. Best update you can have for that model atleast. For me, disconnecting problems have been a cut a least 70%
So what does that do for it?
@@bretts9409Ferrite rings reduce electric noise that keeps disconnecting bluetooth etc.
At 5.1 input, only 3.1 output front speakers works, the side speakers not working has anyone the same problem?
Watching a lot of these soundbar reviews I see they are mostly catered to the whole movie (watching) experience. I'd like to get a set which is also great for listening to music, so not just (sub)bass and high frequencies, but a good representation of the whole frequency spectrum. What would be a good choice
They should make their swa-w700 subwoofer compatible with this soundbar.
Gabe Gabe I know I have that sub too..😔
That's samsung for you rip off......
¡!
many reviews have been talking about ground-shaking bass on the q90r ( 08:25 ), i've got mine since yesterday and tested 6 hours but i can get "acceptable at best" when i crank up bass and subwoofer to the maximum which is +6. i know placement is a thing but i can barely feel it moving when laying my hand on it during VERY bass heavy hip hop music. newest firmware is on aswell. anyone got any suggestions? I'd kill for that boomy bloated bass right now tbh :D
Same issue here, also mine goes to sleep after a while and then when i start using the tv again, it doesn’t come back on
reviews are clear and detailed
So what is the "correct way" to set up the surround speakers should the front and rear low speakers be around + 2 or lower and High speakers set to +4 or more ? Will the Atmos demo disk you use help with calibration ? By the way I have this soundbar with a QE75Q950R Screen and there is zero drop out on the wireless speakers so they have clearly fixed this issue.
You do great reviews man!
I see you got an awesome set of Golden-ear speakers... nice
Awwwww, so nice of you to publish this on my Birthday, is that a sign? And why oh why do I love when you open that fucking box cutter. I still want to rebuild my AV system, but the separates you just reviewed are so expensive, but seem oh so nooice!
How are the rear speakers powered? Battery? How long do they last? Are they rechargeable or replaceable?
I currently have a Bose Soundbar 700 with no sub or surrounds, I can get a Samsung Q90R soundbar with all that included for about AU$110 more than the best price I can find on the just the Bose extra speakers. That's crazy, there's no way I would buy the Bose extras now, I really think I'm about to give the 700 to the kids and buy the Q90R.
I currently have an old Dolby Digital EX AMP AND SEPARATE speakers. I want to upgrade to ATMOS but my wife isn’t keen on wires. I have always resisted sound bars but this looks very powerful. Am I going to be disappointed when I compare this to my old separate system?
I own this soundbar and it plays great,wanted to buy nakamichi,but not available in europe,and buy from the states is no option cause the import taxes are way too high in belgium.
great review shane. i'm still looking for that great soundbar. question about the side firing speakers, are those meant to bounce off the wall as well? not sure if i would get that effect due to my open living room configuration. i may still pick these up and give them a try.
Does side firing speakers do make a big difference when your on 7.1.4
Have you tried the Samsung Q950t soundbar (this years model) yet? If you have what do you think, is there much of a difference between the Q90r, and the Q950t? Can you properly place the audio, or I should say, do things happening on the left actually sound like it’s happening on the left? Or is it more generic, where you should hear things on the side, and things in the center, and is the bass good, or is it kind of weak?
What soundbar would you pair with a 65 lg oled Not wall mounted
Very clearly presented, no nonsense review ...thank you...!!.
Hey mate love the video just wondering would it be better to mount the rear speakers higher up or head height is best positioning for them
I've heard with this soundbar and samsung Q90R (matching TV) it can do 7.1.4 via ARC is this test done via ARC or have you had to run seperate player through soundbar's HDMI?
After doing some research it appears 7.1.4 ARC is not yet supported.. however via ARC it can still decode at bitstream Dolby Digital at 1.5Mbps (DD+) and decode the full DTS (1.5mbps) so you're still getting CD quality crystal clear surround sound if you do connect it via this method. It can also do lossless PCM at 5.1ch as well so your player can decode and send out pure PCM uncompressed however most audiofiles will advise against this as bitstream is best for sound and volume's sake as well as limiting and compressing the LFE subwoofer channels from distoring or appearing too bassy or not bassy enough. There is also a sound mode on this soundbar package that can upconvert from 5.1ch sources to 7.1.4 however it's simulated and algorithms based which is still really great if you want to use up all speakers to their advantage in this sense which personally I would do but everyone is different. Either way however you connect your sources this is a great sounding soundbar and defnitely one over the great sounding bose 700 full system. let's face it this is made in conhunction with Harman/Hardon and AKG so it's not a cheap soundbar from a cheap manufacturer the price for the great build quality is only possible thanks to samsung's take over of those companies.
Fantastic Review. What is your view on the NAKA system twin 10 punch. ??
just bought mine Q90R yesterday and I love it ! I was comparing this with the Sonos and the Bose but ended up getting the Samsung H K because I have a Samsung TV. It works amazing...please check it out !
Price kia hy ?
@@lovemaher11 1699.00 plus tax
I noticed in the description that you listed 3d glasses, how do those work I thought 3d TV'S/projectors were discontinued? So do they work with any TV'S then?
You're the first dude I've watched who doesn't use Samsung Tv. Congratulations
Hey mate i have the same one . So far so good . The sound is unreal . Where did ypu buy the Dolby dvd's from ?
Thanks for the review, I just bought one😁
Awesome!
I just bought one. How is it working ?
Picked mine up today!!
@@bigkiwial does the rear speaker disconnection still occur after the firmware update?
I'm not sure if you'll see this but im having trouble updating is the soundbar doesn't read the usb.
Are those Martin Logan slms?
Do you just use your soundbar as a center channel?
Is there any fix yet to the sound keeps breaking at times? I have updated to the latest firmware. But still experiencing the same. I noticed specially when there are continuous sound/music from the movie.
Details:
- Streaming on Netflix title: Work It (dolby atmos)
- Using samsung Curved TV RU7300
Issue: sound keeps breaking specially when continuous music is playing
Please help. Thanks!
10:07 I'm hoping/waiting for this issue to be completely resolved. Even though this set would be perfect for my QN75Q7 TV, I haven't purchased the soundbar because of these issues.
The perfect review and the review people finally have been waiting for Samsung says this is suppose to get an eArch update.
Update 1006 supposedly did enable earc on this soundbar. However, after days of tinkering with a Sony a9g (which supports earc) I have been unsuccessful in passing HD audio via earc. So, I'm calling B.S. on earc functionality.
@@usesoap23 i can believe that samsung first atmos soundbar they promised an update for dts master audio and never got it right left there customers out to dry.
please does it have a dolby vision pass through?
You need to review the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4!
Does that thing do Atmos and DTS-X? I thought about that system but it's just too much for my small living room area
@@bigmacfullerton7870 yes it does. Originally the Nakamichi was designed for Dts x implementation and later through a firmware update then supported Atmos.
If you have a small living room area you may want to go for a different system. The Q90r and the Nakamichi will be far too powerful for a small space lol.
Perhaps take it a step down and go for a Q80r soundbar. It's basically the Q90 without the Rears. It's just the bar and sub but the bar has a very wide Soundstage with overhead vertical effects.
Of course if you prefer you can always grab a LG or Sony but it all depends on what's important to you.
Cheers.
@@nosystemisperfect9954 I ended up getting the Q80R with rear speaker kit. I really love it. Sound is great. How about the sound waf? Do you love it?
@@bigmacfullerton7870 the Wafe beats everything in terms of immersion however the clarity is not as good as the Q90r and it has a very bass heavy sound signature. For games and movies and rocks but for music it's terrible.
Ive also heard at higher volumes it compresses. Honestly at volume level 26 people two floors above me heard it and complained so if someone is turning it up higher then that they must be deaf.
When I mentioned immersion though I wasn't kidding. I think it's due to the Wafes SSE capabilities but it really makes you feel like you are there.
I love the Wafe but for my Appt it's just too powerful and it takes up a ton of space lol.
You can't go wrong with either system. Both sound fantastic.
@@nosystemisperfect9954 Yeah. I think for me I made the right choice because like you said anything over 25 is serious overkill so the Q80R is certainly filling my smaller room with very nice cinematic sound when getting Atmos or DTS-X. It's impressive. I have a separate amp and speakers for music but when streaming music or listening to say a concert on Axis it sounds really good too. This thing has really surprised me. Makes me wish I got the 77inch C9. 65 inch isn't enough screen for all this sound. lol
Great review Shane. I have the vizio 5.1.2 and I seem to have the same problem where the audio cuts in and out when streaming for me I notice it happens when I use Netflix it doesn’t do it while using iTunes. I also have the Linksys velop tri band. And for some reason my Sony A8G won’t display my Apple TV 4K when hdmi is set to enhanced.
How does it compare to the yamaha ysp-5600?
Hello just came across your great channel and wanted ask quick advice as wanting to update my TV for New Year 2020 and like to use this Q90R soundbar with it ( not purchased yet ) .Just wanted to ask is Samsung or LG TV's best? Thinking of 60" / 65" maximum size to use in UK . Hopefully you can give me some ideas please, many thanks Peter.
I have the Yamaha YSP 5600 but gonna get the Ambeo Soundbar because of futurproof.
Does the sub have to sit to the right of the tv stand since the speaker appears to be on the right of the sub as opposed to downward firing like most other bars?
What Samsung tv will be the best tv to match the q90r ? I recently purchased the Q90R sound bar and want the perfect tv to match. I have a 60inch Samsung led that i purchased a few yrs ago , it's not 4k uhd tho... I am after something around 70 to 75 inch. I would appreciate some advice due to the recent Q90R sound bar I have and very impressed with??
Check out their Q series of TV’s. Be a perfect match.
What do you mean by "careful with subwoofer levels?" I have mine set to 6. Can you blow them up by having them loud?
Dang. I have mine on 3....sometimes I will bump up to 4. You must really like bass. What about other settings? Where do you have them?
I am looking to buy the QA85Q80 85" Qled and matching with the HW-Q90 sound bar.
My question is can you add more wireless speaker to this soundbar?
I was thinking of getting the SWA-9000S/XY as side atmos speakers.
What is your suggestion please?
Also I have an old SAMSUNG system with wireless rear speakers SWA-5000 would these connect to the Q90 soundbar ? And utilise them.
Thanks
Todd
Have you considered trying the nakamichi soundbar?
Shane I have a question: I have Rane THX22 x2 & Rane THX44 equalizers for all 7 channels with a Rane RA-30 real time Spectrum analizer.
My concern is I've spent a very long time sourcing these products to build a reference system that can recreate that pro THX cinema sound in the home. Some of the newer processors from Anthem, Emotiva etc have in built eq's. Do I disregard my gear? Or do I disregard the inbuilt EQ's? Or do I use both internal and external? What do you think is the best option to get the perfect sound? I really appreciate your knowledge and experience and respect your opinion, thanks Shane for your time.
Please help spare change I have the Sony s t5000 sound bar I just purchased the Sony 310 bt turntable , I want to use the analog cables for connection from the turntable to the sound bar but I get very mute or no sound I have contacted Sony but they still can't figure out why do I need to use a dac amplifier in between that to hear sound helping do review on the Sony 310bt turntable
Got mine last week very happy no problem so far.
p suri what about streaming? Rear audio issues like he had?
@@johnrocket117 it's very depend mate what and where are you playing from TH-cam all videos doesn't support surround sound.i am using it with Samsung 75inch Tv for Netflix search for Dolby Atmos for best sound experience. If you use xbox for streaming it has better audio output quality than tv.
p suri awesome just got mine this morning gonna tinker with it some more later. Thanks for the suggestions, cheers
p suri I plan on pairing this with my Samsung tv as well. Do you need to use the HDMI cable from bar to tv being there both Samsung ? Or you still need to use the HDMI.
@@TheChamp2201 you can connect wireless but I suggest HDMI for best audio output specially if you want to play Dolby atoms it only support HDMI.
Anybody know what"virtual on/off" actually do? Nothing in the manual about that.
It virtualizes a subwoofer but if you have the subwoofer connected then you should turn it off for sure
@@icantthinkofanoriginalname7818 It virtualizes rear speakers I believe (from reading posts when I had my N850) and should be turned off if you have the rears. It's supposed to use some of the front speakers to virtualize sound behind you
Have you tried the Bose 300 with rear speaker and sub ? How would they compare? I do have the Bose setup but got interested in the Samsung due to Atmost. Worth the change? Thanks
