Samsung - Q930F

Oh yeah, didnt notice the budget but yup 930f is also to be considered

You mean QS750? The rears of the QS750 are not completely wireless as they are connected to a little radio station that's communicating with the soundbar. Q930F are completely wireless (aside from the power cable). The sub of the 930F is very likely better as it is much heavier. Try to listen to the QS750 (or QS710 as it's the same, only lacking the rears) and Q930F in a shop. I decided to go with the 930F.

Q800d/f is your best option. Slightly over your budget but worth it. I have bought 800d and q930f and both were excellent for movies.

Hey, thanks for the mention buddy. Loving my 930f as well.

I don't know why someone would upgrade a Q930 to a Q990 at all.. they are too similar to start to make that worth it imo

I trust the rtings reviews, where they test and compare based on data.   There's no way I'd ever get $600 additional value from a 990 over the 930 at the prices when I purchased.   I barely use the 930 capabilities as it is. 

The bar is bigger, not the drivers. The Q930 is already waaay overpowered for a space like that. I have a 15x20 room and with the Q930 we watch TV at 10-12, movies 14-16 and I love it loud and when I get the opportunity to watch without the wife it's 25 or so max... anything over 30 is uncomfortable to be in the room with. Even rtings said, paraphrasing here, that they couldn't recommend the premium for the Q990 series over the Q930 because they are so close in performance. Sure the Q990 has more power, but as described it wouldn't be used. Sure it's got a few more drivers in that bigger bar, but according to my research and personal experience you'd never be able to tell the difference.

It's not 500 bucks better, that's always been the issue with the 990, it's generally been waay overpriced for the relatively small features. The 930 is already going to blow the socks off most people. It's not like going to the 990 is going to be a significant upgrade and 500 bucks difference is a significant difference.

If you're willing to go used or refurb you should be able to find a Samsung Q930 for that, it will absolutely blow away any new $500 MSRP soundbar.

I'm using a Samsung Q930 on an LG C1 OLED and have not had any issues like you mention. The soundbar shows the volume level for instance, and the soundbar stays on Adaptive which is good for all sound modes.

I live in a duplex and have the volume fairly low and it’s still good just go for the 930f

The 930F and 990F have the same subwoofer housing but the 930F has one active and one passive Speaker where as the 990F has two larger Active units. I believe this is correct for UK market

Samsung Q930F I'm really happy with my purchase 😁 Currently breaking it in and getting acquainted with the settings

Thanks for the movie suggestion! I will out on my movie list to enjoy this 9.1.4 of Dolby Atmos

I was aware of it's soecs prior to buying. Going to utilize the ports on my LG C1 for gaming

Man....it great to hear so much positive feedback about the 2025 Q series line up and then try it myself. The bass is tight and I love the compact size of woofer

Man... listen!! I SURE did 😎🙌🏾 I played my fav tracks from Spotify and WOW my room LITERALLY felt like a studio. Bass was tight! Trebles are pronounced And the app has an equalizer to help further tweak the sound to your liking. #phenomenal_sound

Good looking out 💪🏿 Great suggestion for the Q930F Dolby Atmos capabilities

Aye thanks, Mate. Actually it's a 9.1.4 soundbar 😎

I managed to secure a great deal, I got it for $427

Everyone is recommending JBL however they aren't "budget" tbh. I'm planning on wall mounting them it serves my space better. I have the Q930F not the Q990F. Wish I had the budget for big fella 😭😭

I've got a Samsung Q930F paired nicely with the LGG5, no issues, and here in the UK, you can get great prices on them via Amazon. Sub £500

Between the theatre 6 and q800f, it's a no-brainer to go with the q800f. Between the Q800f and juke bar, I wouldn't really know but considering the juke bar has no brand recognition worldwide. I would go with the q800f.

Between those I would go with the q800f, even tho the rears are not available. Tho u can order than from amazon US, not sure how much import charges are in India but if its not bad u can buy it in the future. Atm they are 207 dollars(great deal rn.) They also dont sell it in my country so I had to get them from amazon us(waiting on them now).

I would go with the q930f. https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/tools/compare/lg-s95tr-vs-samsung-hw-q930d/49693/56615?threshold=0.01

U can compare the q800d and f, as they have the same subs as the q930d and f. It's ideal to keep it just below the TV(ear level is actually the most correct), but make sure ur cabinet isn't deep as it could mess with the upfiring speakers.

Bro, don't buy unknown brands... also with a 1k budget just get the q990d/f, or q930d/f.
