Samsung HW-Q990F
The true surround king — an 11.1.4 system with wireless rears and subwoofer that fills the room
Key characteristics
Highlights
- ✓ 11.1.4 channels with wireless rear speakers and subwoofer

- ✓ Q-Symphony pairs with Samsung TV speakers
- ✓ Huge dynamic range for films and music
Our take
The HW-Q990F is the soundbar to buy if you want real surround without running speaker wire: the wireless rears and subwoofer create an enveloping Atmos bubble that no single-bar system can match, and it goes loud and clean. It's a lot of money and a lot of boxes, but nothing else at home cinema is this complete out of the box.
