@@Shawhemant 800B is more speakers bigger subwoofer.

How do you like them?

@@WaltsTV Very much so. They turn this fine soundbar into a true surround system.

Can you please share more details about these add on rear speakers for this sound bar?

Best Buy has the rears with Atmos thrown in for free right now if you buy the bar…that’s what I did and now I have 7.1.4 for $699…unbelievable deal

sounds like you have gone alot more in depth than most people, If you think it sounds good keep it that way!

@@WaltsTV I'm honestly still researching and not sure how I'm supposed to set up the soundbar without getting too complicated. Can you recommend settings? you did not go into details in the video.

Thanks for the support! Yeah I mean this is a great all around soundbar in my opinion. It going to be good for movies, games, and music.

@@WaltsTV any thoughts on the 700C?

its good, 800 you get 5.1 vs 3.1 on the 700. So the 800 will be more realistic.

Depends on the room but this is overall a great choice!

I would keep it in standard and just use the remote to up the bass level to a 5/6. In some scenarios 6/6 might be too much that it could distort.

When you go to audio settings > surround sound in the FireTV stick.. I recommend setting to Dolby Digital Plus instead of (Best Available). Whether the streaming stick is plugged directly into the TV or into the HDMI-in port of the Soundbar, I notice a delay in audio playback with Amazon Music, because it keeps switching between Stereo PCM and DD+. Better to have it always on DD+ output, since the soundbar can decode it. As for music or most stereo sources, Standard sound mode works fine. I use Adaptive for movies and TV. Surround for movies and TV with less processing. Bass and subwoofer offset are two diff settings. Sub I believe is even lower frequencies like 20-60hz.

Standard sound, surround takes the centre channel away, and standard is surround. Set firestick at DD+, for Atmos. Amazon music has Atmos capability on boxes, but not on actual TV app. Strange 🙃

correct, Thats why I perfer putting the soundbar on an entertainment center.

Correct

If you get a soundbar to TV mounting bracket that extends forward enough so that the upfiring drivers are not obstructed..

Arc sounds better but it is also a pretty penny, and it doesn't come with a sub. This is hard for me to recommend apartment

when you say you dont have room im assuming there is a wall behind you? If so then the atmos height speakers on the 800C will still sound super realistic!

@@WaltsTV Yes, there is my bed against the wall and the rear speakers would seat on the nightstands, more lateral than behind. I ordered both of them and I've received the Q930C. Tomorrow the Q800C should arrive and I will be able to compare them and decide which one to keep

try optical

Quite the setup you got! Good choices!

@WaltsTV thanks. But after this review I'm going to get the 600b for my 43qled. Cause I know the sound is very impressive

Lows will be taken care of through the subwoofer, and it depends on what movie your watching, if your watching an old movie adaptive is fine, if your watching something new like transformers or something with alot of action I would use the surround modes.

@@WaltsTV sonido envolvente te refieres a sourround? Y las mejoras de voz y graves activadas o desactivadas? Los niveles de los canales central lateral y de diparo?

800B for sure is going to sound better.

Special Features Compatible Rear Speaker SWA-9500S

I would look at the Q600B

@@WaltsTV im getting q800b in $500

@@WaltsTV can you please tell me reason to buy Q600b or suggest something else in sony please reply brother i can't wait to buy

@@Rehanshaikh-us2sj not sure I just really like this soundbar, And I haven't heard a lot like it.

Special Features Compatible Rear Speaker SWA-9500S Yeah its hard to downgrade because that 990 is a beast.

Have you looked at the Polk Magnify Max AX? - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q66faN2Yrr6YiJ8.html I really like that sound bar for music, especially with the bass, And it has great voice as well so movies sound great.

maybe on a phone but the color saturation was off, it was filmed in 720 zoomed in and washed out and fuzzy. "Beauty is in they eye of the beholder."

800B, I really dont like Vizio

Well if you are in an apartment with shared walls Q600, if your in your own house get the Q800!

@@WaltsTV Why would you not recommend the Q800 for an apartment with shared walls ?

I heard the q600 is louder than the q800 is that true

This will produce more, its a 5.1.2 vs a 3.1.3

Samsung for sure!

Yes you should get 5.1 with this!

@@WaltsTV So, friend, when a movie is played in 5.1, if the 5 front channels of the bar are heard, it is obviously true with Surround or surround mode, let's see if you confirm my friend 🙏

Just a little more power but not much else.

@@WaltsTV so I should get the 800b?

I believe there is six levels for subwoofer, I would put it on 4-5

what about the sound modes? and the central, lateral, and height channels? treble and bass?

@@andersonsouzasilva740 I use bass for music and surround for movies.

A medium room yes I would probably recommend this over those two.

depends on what your going to use it for. What do you primarily watch? and do you plan on using Bluetooth for music?

​@@WaltsTV I watch sports, movies, and video games. I will probably use it to play music more than I will watching something.

Hmm@@mothamaster3000 then they are pretty neck and neck, do you have a Samsung tv?

No, LG. Is the bass pretty equal between the two?@@WaltsTV

It does have high res audio

ooooh thats a hard one, At that point I would look at something Like the polk magnifi max, which we did a video on that as well. This is a solid option Im just not a massive sony soundbar fan.

Sound bars are sound bars they will work regardless i dont think phillips has anything good to offer in audio. How old is your tv? Does it have hdmi arc and if not you have to use optical to connect it

yes because the voice is happening in front of you, the point of rear speakers is not to make it louder but to get a more realistic surround experience!

@@WaltsTV damn on you tube or iphone aire play works with front on rear back tnx

that's odd, it is possible you could have blown the speaker. Although they are not traditional speakers with high sensitivity its still possible to blow them if always played at really high volumes.

yes it should work fine its hdmi arc or optical.

Maybe this will help? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e92EeLZ4rJ6ZlIU.html

just dont know if it is just designed like this, or a defect on this one - then i have to return and change as it is really fresh new

Most likely yes, I wouldnt take hearing out up close as what the soundbar sounds like, it uses all of the speakers including the heights to give you the best experience when sitting away from it. So thats probably why it sounds funky up close.

Depends on what your going to listen to the most!

Yeah so if you get the rears it will defiantly make it more realistic. It depends on what kind of room you are setting it up in. My couch backs up to a wall so when I setup the sound bar without rear surrounds the height speakers do a great job bouncing behind me.

@waltsTv my room size 5x4 20 square meters

@@waynecharlton954 Yeah I think you can save a few dollars and you will be happy with the 800B, However if you have the extra cash to dump the rears can still help.

I think this is solid option for that TV

I have this one with lg c2 55 and also bought rear speakers. Sound is awesome, Dolby Atmos sounds good as well

Yes, Sound bars are cross compatible brands don't often matter too much its more about connections and cables.

@@WaltsTV can you teml which one is better option for genral home usage Samsung q800b or Philips tab 8967

It has alexa but not equal to echo. It can only do basic things.

Yeah you can't change the wake word. But it's nice to have that extra alexa mic. Or you can turn on Bixby on the Samsung TV with soundbar pass-through, which overrides Alexa and just uses the soundbar mic as an extension of Bixby in the TV.

If anybody's looking at this comment in the future I'm going to leave this here: I recommend you don't use the built in Alexa as it ends up making the sound bar not produce sound after a couple of uses and the only way to fix it is to physically unplug the soundbar for 10 seconds. It's a random occuring bug and it hasn't been fixed. If you really need to use Alexa I recommend you get an echo Dot and pair with the soundbar

yes

Alot of people buy the year or two old models at a discount and may still find value in a video like this. Also I am a one man team and cant possibly review every single product ever made even though I try.

@@WaltsTV I'm one of those buying this now, so grateful for your review. Also I like later reviews, less biased by the initial hype.

@@wgroenewald glad it found you!

If you can afford 800 thats better.

@@WaltsTV thank you for your reply this good at Atmos effect and bass

Bonus if you can get the SWA-9500s rear speaker kit. 2.0.2 rear channels, turn the whole setup into 7.1.4.

Test it with music and play the same songs on both systems and gat close to the sub to see if you notice the difference

@@WaltsTV great difference. Q600b too much more punch.

​@@guilhermeferreira7705 rubbish

Q600 is a 6.5" subwoofer driver Q800 is an 8".

You also have to turn up bass (not subwoofer volume). That's on the tone control button on the remote. And did you test with all 4 sound modes?

If you can get the ARC it is better, but you also have to buy a subwoofer with sonos as where this soundbar already comes with one.
