Sale! Samsung HW-Q950T 546W 9.1.4-Ch Dolby Atmos Soundbar System Certified Refurbished

★★★★☆ I purchased the Samsung HW-Q950T Soundbar - It is adequate. I really like the sound quality for TV shows and movies, and got it at a really good price (not full retail), so I will keep it based on sound/price. Like many reviews I read prior to purchase, I have the same issues with the built-in Alexa not being able to integrate with my whole home multi-room music echo speakers around the rest of the house, and I also experience the sound cutting out for a micro-second here and there on most music, but it is tolerable given I got it primarily to watch TV. I also find the controls being located at the top of the soundbar a poor design choice, but I can do everything I care about via the Samsung SmartThings app, sans the ability to adjust individual speaker volumes. If I had it to do over again, I might have looked more deeply at the Sonos which can allegedly work with Alexa multi-room music.

★★★★★ This sound bar has monster sound output. The Dolby Atmos effects are very good. The setup was quick and easy - I knew from other reviews that there is a certain order in which to power on the various pieces so that they pair successfully. The one negative is the rather small function display which is inexplicably located on the top of the unit, so it can't be seen from where one is sitting. Currently this is set up in my (temporary) apartment, and I am sure that if I cranked the volume up over 25% I'd have neighbors knocking on the door. I can't wait to see how it performs in my house when it's completed. My hope is that it will eliminate the requirement for regular in-ceiling Atmos speakers in the living room.

★★★★★ I was afraid of buying this, all new sound-bar have issues and they release firmware to address them. The sound it’s just awesome. The rear speakers sound good which my precious Samsung sound-bar was terrible and I could hear a humming sound. Play with the settings do the firm upgrades and you should be good. I left the original settings and I adjust depending on the content. Atmos sound awesome! I have an lgcx65 and I have no problems at all. I don’t like the fabric they added instead of the metal. It can collect dust. I also did not like that they placed the display on top.
