Andrew you just reminded me to check out your review on this soundbar system

Andrew and Caleb are by far the classiest reviewers on the net imo. I look everyday for yalls reviews, Big thank you..

How about to the 950T?

Is the atmos really good

Hi Caleb, Thanks for the great review as always. Could you please review the Nakamichi shockwafe 9.2.4ch 1300W soundbar system.

Samsung direct employee discounts are so sweet

​@@playafly131Shhh... Don't break Samsung's marketing.

I have this as well. May I ask. What setting you use on the ps5 with it. Soundbar or surround 7.1

I also have the soundbar and changed the settings exactly as you did.

@@rellrell8157 i have set this to AV-Receiver, also check the speaker distances setting and choose Linear PCM as this is uncompressed lossless audio for best sound.

do you think this sound bar would be good for a bedroom with the s95b oled tv

How about low bitrate sources?

@Fencek Hi! I'm sorry, but the Orbi RBR750 doesn't support separation. There is a heavy handed work around, in that you can turn down the transmit power on the 5ghz to 25% while 2.4 remains at 100%, and make sure the router is far enough from the soundbar to not autoconnect to the 5ghz, but I'm not sure if that will fix the issues. If it first connects properly, you *-may-* even be able to return the 5ghz to full power later without any trouble, as they tend to remember the given settings. You can find it in advanced settings, under wireless settings somewhere.

@Fencek No problem. Remember to set up the soundbar anew. I had to as well, and give it a different name during setup to prevent it from getting old settings, just in case.

This might be the answer to the ones having disconnect issues. Hope this works for everyone.

I definitely need to try this. Thanks for the suggestion and explanation! So the gist of it is to connect and configure the siundbar on 2.4ghz and change the 5ghz band name entirely so that it doesnt use it? Would the wifi band channels also affect it?

@@ryzeki changing channels was my first attempt and had no effect on my issues, but using the ones with least interference are always good regardless.

damn sounds amazing 👏. I'm playing on a lg oled c1 77 with sonos arc set up it's soo nice 👌 great game.

hey,I have logitech z905 which are true 5.1 i am thinking about upgrading.. should i?

906*

Nice! I saw Amazon has on for that.

wow I‘ve bought it in china with a nice price about 6500RMB/1200CAD😮 This is a huge price spread cause of the recent exchange rate depreciation.

I have logitech z905 which true 5.1 i am thinking about upgrading.. should i?

How do you like the HT A9?

How would this sound bar be for a bedroom I'm interested

@@waymonfrench2077 I think it would be great for all rooms. This is big soundbar, so I would advise on checking the total width of the soundbar vs. the width of your tv. I think it is best for TV's 65" and up.

@@thomasv301 thanks Thomas yes I was looking for a good sound bar for my bedroom with out spending a fortune to get a good movie experience On those lazy days without getting out of bed I have a 11.2.4 in my living room I was thinking on getting the s95b to accommodate it aswell but I'm just skeptical about that freaking thin frame...thanks and happy holidays

Hey, exactly my purchases and same setting, a large L-shaped room upto 7.5 m x 6m with over 5 m of glass to the left.

Are you saying the 950t sounds better or similar what about the surrounds and atmos I'm in the market for a sound bar for my bedroom

I had the exact opposite issue lol.

@@waymonfrench2077 I had the 950T and it sounds great. Every bit as good as the 990 even though I didn't do a head to head. The display on top was dumb and I thought that from day one and the app doesn't allow as much tuning nor does it have auto EQ. I'd suggest the 930b.

@@patb5266 yeah that display on top was not acceptable and the cloth as part of the design especially if you have pets cats mainly....yikes lol

Split ur wifi signal, 2.4 and 5g seperate, the combining kf the 2 causes so many issues. Thatll fix the disconnect

I am assuming you don’t have a Samsung TV? You can’t get 5.1 pass through …

So you do not recommend hooking it up to the wall ?? and how can a sound bar be at ear level or are you referring to the surround speakers

@@hatemtawfik why cant a soundbar be at ear level? There is not one single reason it cant. It really depends on your cabinet height vs seating height. I can be hung on a wall, not a problem but I prefer it to be a little out into the room. Treat it like a conventional hifi setup bar a few exceptions, you will reap its rewards. No speaker in this world will sound good with plonk and play.

Hello would you tell me where did you order it ? I want to order it as well in Melbourne. Give me some clues as to how to get the best deal. Thank you in anticipation.

@@indramainali4613 I bought mine from Harvey Norman Springvale. To be honest I didn't push too hard on pricing as the Black Friday special was a great discount. I looked online and found who else had the same TV and then compared pricing, took this to Harvey Norman, they dropped the price by another $100 and I bought the three items straight away.

@@ymml467 Thank you for your response 🙏

I am a stickler for quality of center channel / dialogue clarity. Are you stating that it really is good with this soundbar?

@@jobob247yes, specially using my Samsung TV with Q Symphony. And I don't even use the dialog enhancer option

From where

How's the Dolby Atmos

How did u get it so cheap

@@HOOK_NOSE_JEW Fell off the truck, hate when that happens. LOL

Is it good for a bedroom

@@waymonfrench2077 You would be blown way although a,soundbar for a bedroom....

@@SuperDominatorX I need too be blown away with a good sound bar for my bedroom i wanted to get the q990b oh what's your thoughts on this sound bar I need some honest thoughts $1300-1500 is kinda steep for a sound bar I wanna get the s95b oled but that frame is so darn thin

@@waymonfrench2077 You would be blown away by this soundbar, I have it it's the best sound bar you can get for a reason!

That’s what I’m talking about 😮

What do you have?

Makes a statement like that and can't be bothered to answer your question. Something don't smell right here 😊

​@@totalplonker824 Everything connected to Samsung smells bad. You would be shocked knowing how much they spend for paid reviews

Interesting, how would that work though, how would the additional sub sync to the main bar?

What is your last 7.1 System 😂

Yes I have Logitech z5500 sub to add 😛

What kind of cables are they? Are power cables universal? I presume they have different ends and/or ratings, no?

How much in local currency? Indian Rupees I am assuming

The weakest aspect for this kind of device is mandatory wireless connection.. every single year the wireless spectrum get more crowded. At some point hiccups are going to be happening daily.

@@ShubhamBhasin yes at 79K

@@absolutium have a duel channel set up for now and with many wireless devices at home, one needs to spread out devices accross spectrums

@@rudresh You don't that's exactly the problem.. there is a finite amount of channels and current devices broadcast in several frequencies.. yet the most important aspect is you WONT be able to dictate which of those devices are being used at your surrounding area.

Same here, specially with the latest updates it is improve allot the sound specially in rear speakers...

@@fl0rin09 what settings do you have on i notice sometimes the dialogue isn’t separated well with action scenes. Bass pops but depending on scene dialogue is great and sometimes very quiet. Voice enhancement sounds way too mechanic/fake it makes it very displeasing.

@@wisdomb4086 I dezactivate voice from smart things app. I use just the Bass...but after the updates I can hear dialog in rear speakers when its conected to cable . Or on netflix when a change to orginal english...before I heard just the sound of music in rear speakers

@@fl0rin09 what about the top levels and really creating that atoms heighten expierenced

I would also like to see how it compares with the Sonos ARC + sub + 2xOne

Gavin, just curious. Are you running your streaming content from the WebOS in the TV, or do you use a streaming device? I just FINALLY got my Q990B setup on my G2 and i'm using the 3rd gen Apple TV 4K as my streaming device (don't even have the TV connected to the 'net) and i would just be curious about your connection scheme if you were also using an intermediary streaming device instead direct from TV.

@@corymiller4543 I'm using the TV apps.

have lg c1 (as a desktop monitor 48 inch) over a year in use everyday and this thing is amazing

Hate to mention this... LG support Dolby vision (HDR) while Samsung supports hdr10 Plus

@@totalplonker824 hdr10 plus is a samsung version , also dolby vesion is not just a hrd lolz

Yeah, Atmos has really muddied the home theater experience. People don't understand that the LCR channels are *literally* the home theater. Then come the surrounds and Gene Dellasala from Audioholics was explaining how the 2 surrounds (not the rears) are more important. Then come the rears. Then finally you have the overhead speakers which matter but matter the least. The overhead speakers are like adding a trailer to a McLaren - sure they provide more trunk space but at great expense and, in all honesty, how often do they get used?

Bose Lifestyle 600

Same here i got it for about $900 and love it. No need to upgrade it until it kicks the bucket. Samsungs MSRP for both those systems is way too much but they did make some quality bars.

@@walter2695 would it be good for a bedroom sound system

@@waymonfrench2077 yeah definitely. Since I'm sure the bedroom won't be super huge. This system can get loud.

@@walter2695 thanks Walter sir. Yeah I'm thinking of a good sound bar for my bedroom I'm also upgrading my tv thinking about the s95b but that thin frame kinda makes me skeptical I was just aiming at 2 samsung products to go together. I have a 11.2.4 in my living room just looking for a good simple movie experience for my bedroom plug &play with out all excessories

Me too.

Hmmmmmm which ambeo

@@waymonfrench2077 the Plus. The ambeo max is on sale near me now and is very appealing however the tech in it is a 3 years old now, for the same price you can get the ambeo plus and sub.

@@i3kel yes sir I've been checking a little of that out I'm just looking for a good sound bar for my bedroom with out all the accessories but good atmos and so on ...thanks ol'buddy

@@i3kel True.

Samsung tryna run the world not soundbar market imo

They have Harman under their belts, that should say somethin

What made you want a Q930B if you had a Q950A? Just curious. I have the 950A.

I have the 990 and from what I've seen the 930 would sound every bit as good for a whole lot less. Blindfolded I bet I couldn't tell the difference. The 930 may well be the better value. I'd like to see some reviews on. Either way you can't go wrong👍

@@TIMMAYY7 The q930b is in addition to q950a. I have 2 tvs that can use a soundbar.

@@patb5266 Yeah they are both great!!

I have the 990b and the 930 and I definitely cannot tell the difference between them. The auto EQ is nice but not worth it since that’s the only difference.

Want to know the same.

How is the atmos and bass for a bedroom

Wow didn't know there was hocus pocus 2 have you tested the 990b yet what's your impressions I keep going back and forth with the Sony a7000 since I have sony tvs...help lol

@@waymonfrench2077 haven’t yet, and sadly looks like I won’t have the chance tonight. I’ll be sure to follow up on this comment thread when I do though, hopefully tomorrow!

any updates? I also wanna know how good it is for regular 5.1 tracks on DVDs

According to the manufacturer the empty side of the rear speakers should be pointed in. This is confirmed if you do a 5.1 channel test.

That tv has an earc HDMI port. That's all you need

​@@ryanxp0016 Thank you for the info it was most helpful

Np. Just plug the hdmi from the soundbar into the hdmi port on the TV labeled earc/arc and then either plug your device directly into another hdmi for best signal or into the soundbar hdmi in ports if you don't have anymore hdmi ports available on your TV

I have the Sonos arc,2 one sls and sub gen 3.it’s overpriced

@@unclebrew9536 so do i. I just want to know if this Samsung sounds better.

@@prestonopperman4812 I am picking one up.will let you know

@@unclebrew9536 looking forward to hearing from you man. Building a mini home theater

I am weighing both. I feel like this is better because of the surrounds having the upfiring. I still want the Sonos cause it comes in white though 😂 Also can the samsung do DTS???

They supposed the be setup with the side drivers facing out and are labeled left and right. I didn't notice he did this.

Well, have you tested all of them (i know you did not)? I`ve been researching it for 2 weeks, and using it for 3 days already. It is very good and no problems with connections, but all I had before that was LG SJ4 (2.1 system, 150EUR, 2018 released) and it was not that bad after all. I would definitely reccomend 990b to anyone looking for a clean setup without digging into audiophile territory, but I can`t state that it is worth the full price (I`ve got mine on summer sale, more then year after release, 800 EUR). Paired with LG C1 55 inch it definitely changes the way I consume content. Also I think if someone has only 500EUR on that sort of purchase - there are definitely quality options that won`t dissapoint most of the people.

Did u see a movie that does support dolby atmos and did u connect the soundbar with a hdmi eARC port?

@@Unknown-User_76 I did and I must say, this soundbar is by far one of the best. I have tried the Sonos Arc and also the Bose 900 and this one really blows the competition. I only turn the volume no more than 20 and it is super loud. Yes I do connect via eArc. You can’t go wrong with this soundbar.

@@trinhk ok, thanks for your review but i have no sound issues with the bose soundbar and the bass module. The only thing i can't truly answer is how the the atmos funktion from the bose works because i have no eARC Channel :/

@@Unknown-User_76 Atmos was not really prominent and I can’t hear much effects on the Bose soundbar. Overall, the sound was pretty good but my bass module kept giving me dropout issues and I hear crackling and popping sound. So I returned it and got the Samsung 990b instead and I’m really glad I did.

@@trinhk hmm ok, thx

Mate, did you test songs mixed with true atmos? They're available on tidal and apple music.

LOL

I wouldn't worry about those issues, Mark, most of the users on the A9 Facebook group haven't had those problems and personally, the lack of a centre speaker is not just irrelevant, IMHO it's better than having a central bar. The speech clarity is excellent and you can press the 'Voice' button if you still want more improvement. I've never heard the 990b so I can't compare, but the A9 is a brilliant system - if you can afford the rather steep price.

Been using my A9 for a couple of months. It's been Flawless and I love it. Drop outs occured when it was first released I think and was fixed with an update.

I'm too interested in the comparison. I'm thinking that sennheiser would or should probably be way better in terms of music listening. But I don't know if it is worth double the price...

@@HTadd1ct yeah... my Denon X6700h and 7.2.4 Atmos setup with DefTec speakers shows how much I do not appreciate audio. Just because I appreciate audio doesn't mean that I can recommend a premium setup to most people. Will they hear a difference between my setup and a top of the line sound bar? Without a doubt. Will the quality they get with a premium sound bar satisfy them. Most likely yes. In the end they get a level of audio quality they are happy with in a much more convenient package. You have to consider for most people they will be getting Atmos from streaming services and not DTS:X or better quality Atmos from a UHD disk. In most listening environments you will hit diminishing returns with an improvements to the audio system due to the reflections and various room properties. So when considering most people, a premium sound bar is better value recommendation. I would never recommend a low cost sound bar but premium ones meet the needs of people. If you consider the difference from the TV audio to a premium sound bar to a receiver; you are getting 80% there with a premium sound bar that may be just slightly more expensive then a cheap AVR setup. It is similar if I were to upgrade from an AVR to a separates. Yes having the preprocessor with balanced connections to the amps would give me better audio but the cost is not worth it when considering my room conditions. So just because I will always have a dedicated audio setup does not mean I can recommend that setup unless talking with an enthusiast.

What about a bedroom

I think soundbars especially this one and the 950a what I have is perfect for smaller living quarters like condos apartments what have you. I have a condo and the 950a is more than enough great sound for it plus no wires and whatnot. If I had a house now that's a different story. I'd definitely have a sound system like yours without a doubt. No worries no neighbors close.

@@jkon1970 Agreed. A permanent home, i’d get a wired setup with rear speakers and all. But for apartment condo living, a sound bar is perfect. No wires lol
