SAMSUNG HW-Q700C 3.1.2ch Soundbar w/Wireless Dolby Audio, Q-Symphony, SpaceFit Sound Pro, Adaptive Sound, Game Mode Pro, Airplay 2, Tap Sound, Chromecast and Alexa Built-in

After decades of online buying/selling, I rarely leave reviews. I’m going to try to change that to help my fellow consumers. That said, here are my thoughts:First, I purchased this used (like new) from Amazon Resale. I’ve never purchased a used item outside of eB**, but i couldn’t justify paying the new price for a soundbar without hearing it in my house (impossible, of course). So, saving ~$500 made sense for me.I would consider the overall quality of the external box about what I’d expect. Internally, it looked absolutely brand new. Shopping time was 3 days as expected. Great experience overall.Now, to the actual product. I did a LOT of research at various price points before finally deciding I wanted to try a high quality system for around $450. Well. I paid a bit more for the 910D after viewing lots of reviews and ratings sites…it sounded like a good value proposition at this price (assuming the used product worked as advertised.. it did).I’m coming from a Vizio 2.1 channel that was bass heavy and decent but I wanted something nicer. This system provides VERY clear dialog and amazing surround sound. The subwoofer has complaints in some reviews but I’m going to give it praise. The reason for that is the sound is very balanced. If I want to, I can turn up the sub output and tinker with the EQ. I’d rather listen to quality sound that can rumble when it should without pumping out bass like the 2.1 system. It takes away from the experience in my opinion. As mentioned, it’s a very clean, balanced sound.The SmartThings app is easy to use and works well. One thing I recommend in the app is to turn off over the air soundbar updates (for those unaware, many Samsung sound bars were affected by a bad firmware update in March of this year).I hope this helps someone on the fence about whether to spend a bit more to get a lot more from the Samsung hw-q910d soundbar

Beware--most of the reviews here are NOT for the HW-Q600C. This one is.I have a 55" Samsung Frame TV in a room that is approximately 14x14. The HW-Q600C is the perfect soundbar for this configuration.I have the soundbar connected to the TV via an HDMI cable into the eARC jack on the soundbar. This gives better sound reproduction than using a digital optical connection. Setup was very easy. The remote that came with the TV controls the sound, with the exception of the subwoofer volume.I've tried a variety of media, including movies, sports (football and basketball) and TV shows, with both dialogue-forward and sound effect-forward content. This soundbar delivers the goods in all situations. The sound mode (standard, surround, etc.) and equalization settings are easy to change, so you can tailor the sound to your preference or to room acoustics. It also handles Dolby Atmos signals.You can add wireless rear speakers to this system (which already comes with a wireless subwoofer, which works well; I scared the hell out of my dog when I cranked the sound), but since it's a 3.1 system (that center channel in the soundbar really seems to help with voice clarity), you won't get discrete rear channels. Instead, it's a mixed signal being sent to the rears. I don't need rear channels, but if you want a true home theater experience, you might want a more expensive 5.1 soundbar.All in all, I highly recommend this mid-priced offering from Samsung. If you own a Samsung TV, it's a no brainer.

The Q60B soundbar provided a significant, immediate improvement to my Samsung TV. It integrates well and was a snap to set up. Samsung put some engineering thought into how the two should sound together.Q-Symphony (only available on newer Samsung TVs) integrates the two products and sounds better than the soundbar by itself. It makes dialog much clearer. Try it on a blockbuster movie - the woofer really makes the dynamic range impressive.The soundbar is superb for music as well. You can stream Spotify, etc. directly via Bluetooth from your phone but once again — Q-Symphony sounds significantly better than the soundbar alone. Smoother, dramatic highs, wider soundstage. I’m guessing that it has something to do with the Dolby/DTS processing, not just the extra two speakers on the corners of the Samsung TV. But the benefits disappear when you turn off the TV and listen to the soundbar alone (e.g., streaming directly to the Q60B over bluetooth).Set-Up Notes:1) It takes a little tweaking to get the optimum performance. The subwoofer was too boomy out of the box. I decreased bass -3 and increased treble +2.2) I tried all the surround modes repeatedly and “Surround Sound” was the best. The other modes pull everything into a narrow sound stage.3) If you get lost during set up - find a YouTube video. The Owners manual is useless.
