Samsung HW-Q990D Soundbar Review: Atmos Tested, Gamer Approved
I recently had the chance to immerse myself in a galaxy far, far away with Samsung’s latest Dolby Atmos soundbar, the Q990D. As I stepped into the heart of Mos Eisley cantina in Star Wars Outlaws, I was blown away by the sheer immersion and accuracy of this system. The 7.1.4 channel soundbar effortlessly transported me to the bustling hub of intergalactic activity, with each step further enhancing my cinematic experience.
As a gamer, I was equally impressed with the Q990D’s ability to engage me in the world of Sam Mendes’ Skyfall. From the meaty punch of Bond’s Walther PPK to the papery buzz of the dirt bikes as Bond and his rival ride along the bazaar rooftops, every detail resonated with precision and depth.
The intro scene was particularly captivating, as I reveled in the finely tuned deep bass effects like explosions that, while not quite on par with more expensive modular options like the Sonos Sub 4, still managed to meet or beat most all-in-one systems I’ve tested.
But what truly sets this system apart is its exceptional audio capabilities. The Q990D’s Dolby Atmos processing is top-notch, effortlessly virtualizing sound effects for an expansive experience that draws you in and refuses to let go. No wonder it tops best-soundbar lists for premium Dolby Atmos.
In short, the Samsung HW-Q990D Soundbar is a masterpiece that will be hard to beat.
