Sale! SAMSUNG HW-Q950A 11.1.4ch Soundbar Dolby Atmos/DTS:X, Alexa(2021), Black

★★★★★ I purchased this sound system at the recommendation of a family member. It is the best sound I have ever heard from a sound bar. I love it! It is easy to set up, no wire to run, very user friendly and reasonably priced. I am totally pleased!

★★★★★ This soundbar has a new 608mb software upgrade as of 8.12.2021. Samsung doesn't tell you what it changes but I assume it was this audible function and stability in connection. This sound bar rocks!!!! I needed to replace my old hw-k850. The sound bar now provides an audible notification when you switch inputs and when you switch audio settings. It will say "hdmi1", "Bluetooth", "adaptive sound", "game mode" etc. Which now helps negate the "display on top" gripe. This setting can be turned on the smart things app Satellite speakers are awesome and they get loud. They are some big boxes and I appreciate. These speakers have 3 speakers in them. So they are not the typical sw9500s speakers, for that reason. So if youre on the fence thinking about getting the q900 and getting the rears later, you'll be missing out. The sound bar has great low rumble. Sampled it using "without remorse" and "underground six". Subwoofer hammers!!! Connection into smart things was easy, literally plugged the sound bar in and launched smart things and it did the rest. I played in the app just to see the settings. There are some eq settings, but I use adaptive eq for my needs Earc is basically an on/off setting in my Hisense tv. It doesn't require any lip sync correction. I just turn earc on or back off to arc. When I use earc on standard cable, there is no way to get perfect lip sync. Each setting works perfectly where it's supposed to. The kravdat fabric is actually really nice, it's a sound fabric is actually design to reduce sound imperfections. The fabric actually reduces the overall weight of the bar rather than using a metal grill. It really has a functional purpose on the soundbar. the fabric has very unique feel, it doesn't feel like the typicall fabric you see on the matching subwoofer. This fabric almost feels like a recycled cup holder. It feels hard and sturdy. You have to really put your hands on it to appreciate it. Also what people don't think about it with the metal grill, dust particles can travel into the speakers. This fabric stops stops that, again it functional. Overall this bar sings, I've got the bar on 8 and it already is giving me a nice casual listening sound. The microphones pick up extremely well. I barely said "Alexa" and the tv muted waiting for my command. Surprised how well it picks up because my soundbar is physically behind my tv due to the style of tv mount I use. The response was really quick. The remote is the same as before. It pairs by Bluetooth but still has the IR function as well. I use an IR adapter since my soundbar is behind the tv. Remote works perfectly. The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 star is because the unit should be completely controlled by Bluetooth. The other reason is they only give you a 5ft power cord to plug in these satellite speakers. I had to go and buy 10ft cords from Walmart for $10 each. You use these cords in a decent set up with speaker stands 5ft may not be enough. I have an open floor so my wall is further away from the couch but I have a plug in the floor. Samsung should give you 8ft power cords. I repurpose my Radiant R1 speaker stands by simply buying an "L" bracket from Amazon $15 and using a "1/4in 20x1/4" screw and a washer $2. Nice, sturdy, looks good and saved me money on new stands. 2 HDMI inputs with 2.1 rated ports according to Samsung, I haven't tested that. Update Your tv may need to be set to "Passthrough" if you notice any lipsync issues. Don't leave your tv on "Auto" thinking you can change the lipsync delay function. Just change the passthrough setting. It worked perfect when I changed mine after trying to change all the delay volume settings at first. I set the individual volume settings wide and side to 0, center channel on 6. I put the rear speaker volume settings on 3 with rear top on 6. Put the bass on 5. Sound setting is on "Surround", I don't use the adaptive eq. The sound coming from the unit very balanced now. The subwoofer thumps once the volume is on 15, which is great for loud listening without having to hear such high treble and losing the bass. I am very pleased with this unit and honestly it's a steal to have gotten it at this price. Big box retailers still want $1499 plus a $299 warranty. I got the unit and warranty for $1300 even after taxes.

★★★★★ Already having the q950t and loving it, I was just too curious about the q950a and if it really did sound better. Man was I surprised! Take it from a professional trumpet, it is unbelievable! Not sure what changes they made, I'm blown away every time I watch something. And the rear surrounds with the third speaker, man oh man! And you can't beat ebay's price! Don't wait, buy it!!!
