Samsung Q Series HW-Q900A 7.1.2 Channel True Dolby Atmos Soundbar

Cheaper than Samsung Promotion.

Got the same last week from JB using Coles Ultimate Gift Cards. Works perfectly for me with Apple TV 4K and Sony 9300E. Output both Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.

If you have a TV that supports eARC, could be even better.

This soundbar has 1 x eARC/ARC output (HDMI 2.1) and 2 x HDMI 2.0 Inputs

    How would this compare with the Yamaha 2700B?

    • BuDWiZe on 20/12/2021 - 08:00

      im not sure how it compares to yamaha but i have a Q950 from a cpl of years ago now and the sound bar and sub are pretty damn good so can only imagine how much better the newer models are.
      ive actually put my yamaha amp + sound system away just because the sound bar takes up so little real estate in comparison and while its not quite as good as my sound system its not far off either

    • Nebargains on 20/12/2021 - 10:54

      I have had the Yamaha YSP-2700, paired with a Samsung TV, for 5 years.

      Honestly I think the Yamaha is fantastic, also has 3 HDMI inputs where as a lot of the soundbars only have 2, depending on your circumstances this could be very handy.

      Sound quality is great, looks nice, it isn't too bulky like many soundbars, sub is decent.

      The only problem I have is that the 'handshake' it does for some reason can take a while with my PS4 which can just leave me with a blank screen for a short period of time, I have no idea why this is, I connected it to my brothers TV with his PS4 and had no issues so I think it is something in my setup.

    • boxall on 20/12/2021 - 13:46

      Have the 2700 and you really need the right room for the surround to work. Have never heard much separation of channels at all.

    Can you add wireless rear ?

    • spirrowhack on 19/12/2021 - 23:37

      Yes.

      • hellboi on 20/12/2021 - 10:15

        huge difference between these two rear speaker models SW-9500S($349) or SW-9100S($179)

  • Kangal on 20/12/2021 - 00:10

    7.1 Dolby Atmos

    Can a single bar of speakers, compete against a setup that has speakers physically placed in different areas?
    (ie Centre, Front Left, Front Right, Back Right, Back Left, Ceiling Left, Ceiling Right)

    I have my suspicions….

    • Quarn on 20/12/2021 - 00:25
      +10

      'compete against' = Yes
      Win against = No
      There is a lot to be said for not cluttering up a room with amp and 8+ speakers.

      • BuDWiZe on 20/12/2021 - 08:01

        bang on and said it better than what i was trying to say above and is why i love my samsung soundbar and put away my amp and speakers

        • dtpearson on 20/12/2021 - 10:13

          This. I have just moved and I have a beautiful full set of Aaron Hyperboloid Speakers (about $6k worth) and a awesome SVS sub ($3k) and Yamaha home theatre amp, that is sitting in boxes in the garage.

          But I have a Samsung HW-Q950A Soundbar with wireless sub and rears, while not as good, its close enough, and it is what I have set up in the new place.

          Saves running wires everywhere, and having big speaker boxes ruining the aesthetic of my living room, and I can hide the rears and the sub anywhere.

    • cortex on 20/12/2021 - 10:49

      I have a similar Samsung to this one, with the rears included. It's that good, I'd recommend to anyone. I sold my entire hifi setup because this is just so much easier, looks better and takes up way less space. Also significantly cheaper. If I had a theatre room I'd go back to a traditional setup, but for a normal lounge these can't be beat

      • Kangal on 20/12/2021 - 19:11

        I'm partially convinced.

        I'm currently rocking a good quality Yamaha Home Theatre Unit, with a good Yamaha Subwoofer. All powering these cheapo 5-surround speakers. It sounds pretty damn good.

        The front speakers, sub, and HT unit sit snuggly with the TV Stand. So only messy wires at the back. However, the Back-Left and Back-Right speakers they're not much of a burden. And I try to run the cable neatly. However there are two exposed spots on the ground from the couch towards the TV Stand… and it makes me nervous whenever there's visitors or kids, or if someone tries to move something.

        Although, it looks like I'd be spending $900 to get something possibly lower quality. Not sure it makes sense for me. But the neatness aspect is certainly attractive for me, especially in my tiny living room.

    • lonewolf on 20/12/2021 - 12:58

      If convenience and price is whats most important for you then soundbars. But if you actually want proper Home theatre surround sound experience, no competition.

      I have this soundbar as well as Sonos Playbar, and a few lower model Samsung and sony soundbars.

      I also have a couple of setups with physical speakers all around you. Totally different.

    • crawfs on 20/12/2021 - 19:51

      Depends what you want and who you ask. Some would argue that a high quality 2.1 setup would beat this soundbar on sound quality.

      If all you want is to plug in and set this up in 5 minutes and never think about it again then yeah this would probably win out.

  • Quarn on 20/12/2021 - 00:22

    Tempted, but if the rears cost another $350 then I might just go for the Q950 instead. I know I'll want the rears sooner or later.

    • Osiris on 20/12/2021 - 01:24
      +1

      Believe the cheapest price around is through good guys commercial and its like $1250 so, depending on delivery/pick up options, this + rears separately may be slighty cheaper.

    • BuDWiZe on 20/12/2021 - 08:02

      There is a difference with the rears but not a BIG difference. atleast not with my q950

      • dtpearson on 20/12/2021 - 10:15

        I have the Q950 and I find that the rears are not that prominent, even when you have them at +6 volume. I think most people could go without them happily.

        • cortex on 20/12/2021 - 10:49

          It depends on the source imo. Sometimes you don't notice them, and other movies they're that good you think someone's in the room with you

            @cortex: I've only had mine for a week but agree with Cortex, for example outside of the musical score the rears were MIA during the10 rings whereas for others can well and truly hear even when they aren't turned up. Even watching latest season of the witcher has been a pleasant surprise with some of the effects coming all around

      Ordered my LG C1 during the Black Friday sales from them when they had sold out, and they were good on the phone explaining when the next LG drop would occur, and the delivery came quicker than expected. They’re in my ‘trusted’ set of retailers now.

    I have the 950. It is the closest you are going to get to a dedicated Dolby Atmos setup. You will 100% want to add the rears

  • ozaym on 20/12/2021 - 08:16

    What would be a good sound bar without a subwoofer?

    • boirganz on 20/12/2021 - 08:44
      +2

      Sonos beam (version 2)

      I tried the Yamaha 2700 and it’s being returned. The speakers are too tiny and it relies on the subwoofer for mids and lows.

      Beam 2 has a more balanced sound, is cheaper and atmos capable.

      My requirements are a bit different though - 70pc for stereo music, 30pc for “surround sound” via arc.

      • mreddie on 20/12/2021 - 08:46

        How would the beam go with a Sony TV via ARC, is there much delay?

        • boirganz on 20/12/2021 - 09:12

          None that I’ve noticed so far and I’m extra fussy on sound delay.

          Have only tested via TV so far (great, voice enhancement and “night mode” great with kids sleeping) and music (very decent, but doesn’t match existing bookshelf speakers which isn’t surprising).

          They have 90 or 100 day free returns when purchased via their store so figured it was worth a go.

      • May4th on 20/12/2021 - 10:49

        beam is quite a good all round soundbar. good for music+casual TV, good soundstage and bass without the sub/in a small form. does not have the surround sound effects you want for movies. wouldn't really count it as a atmos soundbar if that's important to you

    • mreddie on 20/12/2021 - 08:44

      Yes I'm looking for a good standalone sound bar too

  • bigbadboogieman on 20/12/2021 - 09:13

    Questions:
    - Does it work well with an LG TV or preferred use case is Samsung TV?
    - It seems to be covered in a cloth like material. How do you clean any dust accumulation?

  • Dream-cast on 20/12/2021 - 09:18

    Is there an optimal ceiling height for Dolby atmos or this soundbar?

  • congo on 20/12/2021 - 09:30

    Is this one better?
    Its $200 cheaper, only 2.1 but you can get better sound stage than soundbar?

  • MisterTee on 20/12/2021 - 09:34

    I’ve got this. No complaints.

    But don’t be fooled by the “surround sound” claims. It sounds great for a soundbar with good wide sound stage (thanks to the side and up firing speakers), but it doesn’t sound like a proper surround sound setup.

    It probably would sound better with the rears, but I don’t have the space to put rears, nor a wife who would tolerate them. This however looks discrete and the wife is happy. Almost exactly the same width as my 55” LG oled (c9), so it looks like they belong together.

    I use an Apple TV remote (2021 4K), and it turns on both the TV and the soundbar, and puts them both back to sleep too. So it’s completely seamless.

    Does your standard streaming service like Netflix or Prime output audio in a quality that something like this could actually capitalise on?. Really not in the know about audio.

    • MisterTee on 20/12/2021 - 11:17
      +2

      Yep. All the streaming services will do surround sound.

  • AEKaBeer on 20/12/2021 - 18:45

    Is there a huge difference between this and the Q700A? I picked up the Q700A recently, it's pretty good with music but I am completely on the fence when it comes to "surround". Also it only has 1 input so a bit more inconvenient than this with 2 inputs.

  • crackman on 20/12/2021 - 18:48

    I hope they do away with the mesh in the future. It's the reason I bought an LG soundbar for my TV.

    Great price nonetheless
