So my soundbar manufacturer is now in the habit of putting many improvements behind a software update they could probably give me for free, but instead will only give me if I pay another couple grand for those minimal improvements, thus making them now much like my graphics card manufacturer restricting some driver improvements to their latest gen. cards. I'm starting to see the future of electronics in general.... ;)

@piqone1 19 күн бұрын

First off, thanks for at least reviewing it. A lot of other reviewers seem to think "well it's just a letter difference it'll be exactly the same system and therefore let's not review it at all". So kudos to you. My wife and I are looking for a new home theater setup at some point in the future and as money is tight sometimes(we have a ton of kids) we'll save up for something really nice. The question is always is it worth the price, or is something that's really good and cheaper better. So in your opinion is the Samsung q990d the better option than spending much more on something like this new Sony Bravia quad? I'm a gamer also so of course I had a hard time seeing the 990 c as an option but now that they've changed it the question is whether or not to go with something like Sony's quad for their HTA 7000 with rear speakers or is the tech even getting good enough that we can go down in price to something like the new Klipsch Flexus200. I realize in general if you pay more you usually get more but the question is, is it worth a $1000 or $1500 difference. Man do I get tired of hearing reviewers say inflation has gone up so stop griping about the price as though that's supposed to make it more affordable. Anyway any of your thoughts on this are appreciated

Hey Daniel! This is a different question, I recently got the Bose 900 sound bar WITHOUT the sub nd the surrounds. I ran the adaptiq. . I turned it on and found out that doing so turns the base way down, although improving the overall sound. Even increasing the base to +70 when adaptiq is ON doesn't really gives the base that I was getting when adaptiq was turned off with just +30 on base. Ran the adaptiq 2-3 times. same result..it's a normal 200 sizet medium sized bedroom. Turning off adaptiq brings backs the base but detoriates the sound. I have read on reddit too that even with sub connected too and running adaptiq just quietens the system and base goes down. I am not a base head

The color of the lighter grey works for me as my rear speakers are by a dark grey wall that match pretty well. On a technical note, the audio in your video is odd, it's like it has 2 audio tracks going off from different sources slightly off and it sounds robotic

I know it's youtube and i'm listening on headphones via your microphones, but why do I like how the "C" sounds more? Sounds more full perhaps?

@neverenoughtech 8 күн бұрын

C is fuller … D has more high end detail. It’s what I said in the video. Though I could change a few settings and the d could sound more like the D … but that’s the difference when keeping all the settings the same

Do you think this system could be better than your “Illigal”Sonos 4 Era 2sub and Arc ?

@neverenoughtech 9 күн бұрын

Maybe as the bar is more potent and if the TV was really high end and it actually let me put two in front … the Sonos 300 rears though are far superior to the Ds

Thank you for your reviews, you may be the most honest reviewer on yt. I own the 990c, and personally, i think it sucks. Yes, it generally sounds ok, im talking with movies, but most people will be using these for music as well, and in that respect, i dont find it to be any better than an inexpensive Vizio. The thing that completely ruins this thing is the subwoofer. At lower volume it doesn't even exist. Once you get to 12 or more in volume, it seems to switch on, ank kick in. Its as if its governed by the firmware, instead of being allowed to do its thing, and be subwoofer. I akso own the Vizio elevate p514a-h6 5.1.4, and honestly, it has a MUCH better overall sound, and at less than half the price of the Samsung. Anyway, just my 2 cents. I think the 990c is the most over hyped product on yt, it should be in the clearance bin, not the center stage.

@neverenoughtech 27 күн бұрын

It’s not a stellar music machine … but I am not on board that Vizio is better. I might be sympathetic if someone said the Polk max ax sr sounded better. I’ve also gotten really mixed messages about the importance of music. Many people have called me bad names for even talking about these as music machines and others say they use it mostly for music. Appreciate the comment!

The D 2.1 is about passing 4k/120 both handle audio the same … not knowing your tv situation safest bet for best audio is plug direct into the bar

i have a question, so i have a very old 7 channel denon receiver that does atmos at 5.1.2, should i retire this setup and go with a samsung q990? i never had any problems with it really, its just im moving to a new place and i dont think i have the luxury of hiding all the speaker wires there and all and just want an all round cleaner setup, is it good enough that it can replace such a setup?? thanks! (note: my current setup has 2 speakers physically in the ceiling)

@neverenoughtech 9 күн бұрын

I want to say if that’s what you’re coming from the HTA9 or Quad would be a better substitute … the D is pretty safe but there do seem to be a minority contingency that just don’t like the sound profile. If you can get your ears on it prior to buying, not to get a good idea of surround capabilities, but just the qualities of the sound (too prickly maybe) - there would be a reduced chance of heart ache

I am looking into getting the q990c which at this moment I can get for 795$ with the help of a friend that works at the retailer. I want to use the soundbar for basically everything that comes out of the TV, movies, games, football, news, etc. Got in plat to get an LG G3 to match it when the prices decreases a bit. The problem I have would be the bass. I'm usually a fan of the old school boomy bass e.g. 90s-00s hip hop and what i hear from most reviews is that the bass is punchy. And if it's punchy i'm afraid i won't like the sound (i'm referring to music). Anyone that owns this and can enlighten me please? I was thinking at a point to go for the q990d just for the 4k 120hz pass thru but that one is 300-400$ more and i'm not sure its worth it.

Currently it's on offer in the UAE you can get it for around 950 USD, question is if i have a sony bravia TV in a small home theater is it a good option Or i go for the new sony sound bar 9 with the sub Or i break the piggy bank go for an old school wired system [ Note i have the wiring already done and have a five year old Harman System, but never ever was able to set it up properly ]

I never cared too much for subwoofers that came packaged with the soundbar or made to accompany the soundbar sold separately except for the sonos subwoofer and modular 700 for bose. But the soundbars with sub out inputs make it nice when paired with a wired subwoofer like the sennheiser ambeo and the new klipsch flexus core 200 that i got.

The kit sub performances are uneven at best but they are way better than no sub

Hey, What should I buy? q990D or JBL 1300. Main purpose of this for music, Especially high and clean bass. Any suggestion please?

@mateuszs6666 Ай бұрын

I heard JBL 1000 and it is really bad soundbar compared to Samsung 990C and even 930c was better. You will not hear any details in JBL. If you want listen to music buy active 2.0 speakers. Like Klipsch five, seventh or SVS speakers. That will be much better choice for music even Nakamichi Soundbar.
