Thanks for this vid, the only one great review on the You Tube for this soundbar right now. Just ordered one. Can't wait to test it) And what do you think about wireless rear speakers ? Then I think it would be a more real Dolby Atmos experience. 7.1.2.

7.1.4 actually since the rear speakers also has top speakers.
@TotallydubbedHD 6 ай бұрын
Glad you liked it! I can't comment about them as I've not tested them with this particular soundbar, but from prior experience it's a good addition for that extra soundstage, which is particularly impressive with Atmos content. You will indeed get 7.1.4 as mentioned by the other person, as the speakers have two drivers per side.

Nice and well-organized review. Thank you for that. Beside that, I have 4K Sony TV which was from 2017 (KD XE8505). I am trying to purchase an optimum, i.e. price/budget soundbar, equipment and I am in between Q700C vs Q800C vs Denon S517. Since I do not have Samsung TV, is it worth to buy these Q series since Q symphony and space fit features will not work in another brand. Morover do you have any other alternatives within these considered budget limits?
@TotallydubbedHD 2 ай бұрын

By the way, I'm choosing between this Q800C and the Denon DHT-S517. May I know which one should I go for? My usage of it would be 60% time on music and 40% on movie.

Is the Samsung HW-800C a good fit for the 55" LG C3 as I am getting that TV later this week and want a good soundbar to go with it. However, the stand only allows for 2.75" of clearance before a soundbar would start to obstruct the picture. Also, I understand the HDM passthrough would not work with a PS5 or Xbox Series X due to not being 2.1 but I assume it would be fine for a Panasonic UB820 4K BD player so I can use Dolby Atmos from 4K discs?

Incredible power and sound, tremendous subwoofer, the whole house shakes by putting the volume at 1/4 of the power. It is a pleasure to watch movies with it and not with the mediocre standard speakers that SmartTVs come with installed. But... it's not surround sound. Not at least as Samsung advertises. The Q800C has 2 speakers that emit sound towards the ceiling so that it bounces and the effect of the sound coming from that direction is felt. I have tested the extensive catalog of movies with Dolby Atmos on Disney+ and at no time have I perceived that effect by trying the different configuration and equalization modes of the sound bar. I have updated to the latest Firmware without success. Yes, you can feel how the objects move from one side to the other (left / right) but the sound always comes from in front of the viewer. You will not hear anything coming from the sides or from above as Samsung sells in its advertising. I'd like to say that I have not bought the rear complementary speakers because I do not have space at home for them, something that Samsung at no time warns that they are necessary for the effect of the upfiring speakers. The Q-Symphony effect that they also promote is not noticeable either. To resume, a very good sound bar but as it comes in the box you will not find surround sound and you will need to spend a few hundred euros more on the 2 rear speakers. I bought it on BlackFriday for €424, which with the refund of the €100 offer from Samsung, ended up at €324.
@TotallydubbedHD 6 ай бұрын
That's a great price! As for the surround, it's not going to compete with more expensive bars, however, it still does pretty well, especially in the Adaptive mode. Could it be due to your room's acoustics or setup? I have found that to be pivotal in the Atmos reproduction.
@bender2554 6 ай бұрын
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks for your answer! Well, my room doesn't have any special features different from standard living rooms. The sofa is placed 2 meters in front of the bar, the distance from floor to ceiling is 2.6 meters. The ceiling is completely flat, there is no element on it that could distort the sound experience. There is a wall with some books selves 2m to the right of the bar and no wall to the left of it. I've read some other reviews on Reddit about this bar and users have the same impression as me. Very good bar, but the sound always comes in from the front of the of spectators. I think Samsung would have to reconsider the way they promote their products in order to fit the real users experience.

@@alaleab5439A subwoofer is omnidirectional. Which means that sounds go everywhere. I've put the woofer on the left of the soundbar, seeing from the viewing point. The woofer is facing the wall with 1 inch space That gives a good deep sound because the sound waves bounces off the wall really quickly, so you get "double" sound level. Try it out and here the difference

but if you put it on the left you are stopping the sound direction aren¨t you? blocking it with the furniture.... thanks for answering me@@TotallydubbedHD

Anyone who thinks this system puts out 300W is sadly mistaken. It is rated at 39W consumption.

Yep it's called max wattage vs RMS....most places advertise the max wattage as it's always a higher # but is deceptive advertising!
