"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"For gaming the Tea Pros so far are a 10/10, I play mostly Hunt: Showdown and the additional separation, staging, and tighter but punchy bass were all noticeably better for my ears."
"The best is hearing directly via TV apps such as Disney+, Netflix, Prime and Kayo. The surround, smooth deep bass and clarity with the upfiring speakers on both the bar and rear speakers is 'chef kiss'."
"I don’t listen to EDM, but I can say that Karma (Electric Fountain) from the Tekken 6 OST sounds awesome. The bass rumble feels like it’s always present in the space when the mid-bass punch hits. Meanwhile, the details in the upper-mids and treble are clear but never sounding harsh or fatiguing"

"still have quality sound and bass ... With a slight adjustment in the bass on Spotify + spatial sound, the Airpods fly! The bass and quality of the Airpods almost reach the same level as the XM4!"
"The best is hearing directly via TV apps such as Disney+, Netflix, Prime and Kayo. The surround, smooth deep bass and clarity with the upfiring speakers on both the bar and rear speakers is 'chef kiss'."
"the sounds grab you tightly like it's saying, "Look at me only." ... when i put the tea pro, i can accurately tell where he is, what he is doing, and heck, the snipping scissors felt so real it tickled my ears and brain."

"We have traveled to 3 countries with it, set it up on taxis etc."
"Super easy. ... Took about 20-30 minutes"
"sets up in under 3 min including stake out time. ... Take down is just as fast and it fits in its storage bag with out much fuss. ... set up in under 90 seconds 120 if you putting in stakes."

"Oh and with the q930d and q990d the rear speakers have 0 noticeable Latency even though they are wireless (apart from power cord) using Bluetooth to the bar."
"With the q930 you get physical surrounds and a seperate subwoofer unit ... the Q930D just smokes them"

"the current sub is beyond terrible, at least to my ears. ... my 80W 10" Vizio subwoofer that is miles better than the Samsung ... The biggest complaint about the Samsung soundbars was always the lack of bass. ... I returned the B and the D due to the poor subwoofer performance. ... The weak sub was always the main problem with these bars."
"the subwoofer disconnects sometimes every 15 seconds ... now its been ok after reconnecting it for the 20th time"
"Will they fix the subwoofer dropage issues? ... Ended up returning it due to the neverending link problems."

"el sonido de estos earbuds son un asco ... nunca habia tenido unos earbuds con tan bajo volumen en el audio ... Ni si quiera me sirven para la funcion mas basica, para trabajar (Google Meet, Teams, etc), casi no se escucha nada ... ya lo intente en 4 devices (Quest 3, Android Phone, 2 Laptops) y lo mismo, YouTube, Musica Local, Juegos, Videos, etc en volumen MAXIMO.. y todo se escucha demasiado bajo ... el audio es demasiado bajo, de nada sirve que tenga las otras features si el audio es literal el 5-10% que un earbud normal de los que se compran en el mercado"
"The subwoofer is weak and almost non existent."
"the subwoofer sucks. ... I have it turned up and can barely hear or feel the damn thing."

"I was having signal loss issues going from Bluray player/console to soundbar directly then out to TV"
"The only thing that the D > C are the 2 input ports with hdmi 2.1 capabilities."
"only have 4k 60hz inputs ... I would buy q990c unless you want 120hz 4k inputs in q990d."

"it's completely unnecessary because it's very underwhelming on low to mid volume ... in low to mid volume it very underwhelming you really have to turn it way up to get the real surround Atmospheric feel ... it's really intended for large dedicated rooms but in a small apartment where you don't want to disturb the neighbors it's completely incompatible."
"It's really solid for movies but lacking big time for music, especially at lower volumes."
"My wife, who knows very little about soundbars and watches tv movies with me, thought I hadn't bought the "GREAT SOUNDBAR" I bragged would put us into a movie theater in our bedroom.. ... We have to play the volume somewhat low but not too low. We can't disturb our neighbors. We live in an attached town home. ... The sound was dull and lifeless."

"As I’m writing this, I’m watching Pacific Rim on my ATV4K (purchased on iTunes). System volume at 25%, rears and sub at MAX. I can hear all of the atmos effects clearly and the experience is exceptional. Not the case when the HT-A7000 was the soundbar."
"Rears (even at MAX volume) weren’t very present (Bladerunner 2049 is the exception)."
"For a bigger room, you'll need to add the rear RS5's, eventually. Totally changes your experience."
Affectionate-Plan270 1.0I mean Woofer power 0 is neutral and 6 is max. I have q930d. But I can change “Bass” on controller too but not with 1 button
Annual_Video_8734 1.0I have 930D. Room is 14m² . It has enough power, just don't listen it too loud so as not to disturb the neighbors and you will be happy with this soundbar, just like me :) I wait for months becaiuse I worry about haha It all depends of the source of course, but even on youtube its sounds fine. To be honest I regret a bit I didn't wait for F series because subwoofer is smaller and price isnt as high compared to D series
chirper23 1.0Bass is just about settings .. I have 930D and bass is not a problem in any way
If you compare on rtings the new bass speaker change is mostly cosmetic and mine goes behind the sofa… i can’t put my bass above -6 or the neighbours complain
cozmicyeti 1.0Yeah never understood people that are saying bass response is bad. Must live in mansions cos the 990D and even the 930D have a crazy powerful bass response that I have to keep decreasing. Absolutely awesome systems.
Edolorak 1.0Y its decent and used for a good price its a non brainer. I bought the samsung q930d in ebay for 410 Return product price. Best soundbar i had and have so far.
Gohardgrandpa 1.0I have the same one and it's been great. Got a open box like new from best buy for $404.45 with tax
GRENA2601 1.0hi! from what i understand u do some kind of music? Like u are a producer, right? Starting from this point 99% of new, good soundbars have only hdmi e arc. So on this part, they let u down for what i think u need. Now, the Q990D, as a soundbar to listen to movies and music it s as u said , one of the best, if not the best choice u can make ( talking strictly soundbars). I personally own a Q930D ( which i m listening to right now) and i declare myself more than happy with it. ( the Q990 and 930 are not very different as many say). So now that we got this straight. I would recommend buying a real sound system for what u do, but one that u can also use to your tv. We are talking a lot more money here than just a $1000 . For this, u can check r/hometheathres, they have a more educated community in this subject.
well, budget and rear speakers don t go in the same sentence:). So, let me give u my recommendations. And yes, samsung is the best price to performance soundbar manufacturers in my opinion. The Q930D is the least expensive rear speakers option for you. I own one, im listening to it rn, best choice i ve take. Depends very much on where u live, but u should not spend more than €650 on them. Now let s talk about the more friendly budget options. first Q600c/Q6cc ( are the same thing) u can find them at about €250 and for their price, it s a very solid option. if u want something louder but not as clear and premium as the Q600 u need a B750D, almost 100w more, i would NOT go for the b650d tho, as it s their lowest model
the Q930D seems to be the best option in your price range. i have, its very solid and you are getting rear speakers, and quite big subwoofer i would say
HopeURhavinagreatday 1.0930D is a pretty darn good sound bar system much better than the Q700D
930D is a pretty darn good sound bar system the 930D and f are the same except for the subwoofer. The 930D has a bigger ported sub and the F has a small sealed double driver sub. The D’s sub has more boom and rumble and the F’s sub has a more clean sound with less rumble. I personally prefer the D’s sub I like to feel my couch rumble under me during explosions and gun shots
JustSay_CJ 1.0I work at a electronic retailer where we have both. Bought the 930D yesterday since I don't think the 990D has that much more to offer for the higher amount of money
layzzzee8 1.0I have both but 930d instead of 990d. I much prefer the Sonos. The 300s are just annoying to get dialed in and they are very big.
