Q930B Samsung Q Simphony 9.1.4ch Cinematic Dolby Atmos Soundbar £539.40 @ Samsung EPP

Nope and it's only got 1 hdmi too. I just bought an automated 4 port splitter but I'm only connecting 4k 60hz sources.

This is 930b 2022 model, 990b is 2022 premium model and c just came out being the 2023 model.

The changes from 930b to to 990b were ascetics and better sub, no cloth and wireless connections better thought out. Also changed the location of the display to the front.

990b to C is even less of an improvement, more software side I hear.

Updated info.

Its crazy that samsung released 3 high end subs in the space of 10 months. (edited)

One in the pic is a different model; I believe the hub helped with the wireless link, but no longer required on newer models.

I think it's a Q910b; the Q930B you got will be a far better system (edited)

As good, and for 1/3rd the price. Its a steal.

Got the same sort of feeling. I think i’ll hang fire for a real deal to pop up as it’s not something I desperately need

True surround sound can only come from a true surround sound system positioned in the room; however, recently, soundbars have come so far in "imitating" that it's now near impossible for most mear mortals to hear the difference. I had a Yamaha surround sound system and replaced it with a relatively inexpensive Samsung soundbar about 5 years back because I shuffled my room around, and didn't want to bother with the wires. There was a drop in emersion for me; I've just upgraded to a Q990B which is one of the best-rated soundbars on the market, and I think it beats all but the very best surround sound systems and on the market. I've rewatched dozens of movies again because of the true feeling of emersion I have not felt in the living room; Dolby Atmos with this thing... wow! Of course, two additional rear speakers help.

I think if you are interested, you should contact your local RicherSounds store - they'll set up a room for you to hear a sound bar of your choice, which is what I did before investing in the Q990B (edited)

That's a reasonable price.

Ive just paid £614 fron Ebay and think its well worth that so would definitely pay this reduced price. Wish I'd waited 3 days as mine has only just been delivered on Tuesday.

No issues, with HDMI ARC or eARC everything that plays sound from the TV will play through the soundbar. I wouldn't connect anything directly to the sound bar.

5.1 works as it should on my PS5, you might need to set it to 5.1. in the audio settings

5.1 even works flawlessly on my PC, even on games from 15 years ago (edited)

Any idea if these won't sound as special connected to an LG C2? I'm guessing q-symphony won't work?

I've got the 2021 q700 model no rears. I nearly returned it, I didn't see much difference in between that model and a cheap soundbar. It has Dolby atmos but cannot be compared with proper Dolby Atmos systems. I've added the rears and the experience was much better. Eventually I've sold the whole system for £350 and purchased this one for £375. Wise choice, this is better. I see no point getting a Dolby Atmos soundbar without rears, better buy a cheaper one without Dolby Atmos if you don't want rears. Regardless the size of your room, the rear speakers kick in only for ambient sound, special effects, etc.

I posted the deal, it was not 50% off cashback. But yes, with 25% Facebook discount and £300 cashback, the final price was about 50% off. As you can see below, the RRP at the time was over £800.

I had an example laid on at a RicherSound with Q990B alongside a Samsung S95B2.

I couldn't tell a massive difference with the Q-Symphony enabled on the S95B, and any minor changes were highlighted by the small room it was in, so likely nominal in a larger room; the salesman even suggested it was not its most significant selling point, and that the range of the soundbar with rear speakers meant that very little would be interpreted with the TV speakers.

The TV was fantastic, but I ended up with an LG C2 with the Q990B, and I can honestly say I can't see how it could be improved.

There were other reductions, but they were only about £200 off and still not competitve with other online retailers.
This was the best offer of the bunch.

It largely depends on if you are willing to deal with wires; the Yamaha will offer true surround sound, although that difference isn't as big as it used to be, and I find my Samsung Q system to be fantastic.

YHT1840 doesn't support Dolby Atmos; after hearing movies with Atmos, that would be something I would miss immensely

The stands mrjurlzmr went for look like rebranded ones of the Amazon Eono stands (or maybe the Amazon ones are the rebrand lol) if so then they are great. I have my rear speakers on a pair just now, easy to put together and the cable goes through the stand albeit with a bit of persistence and lots of wiggling. At their lowest position and if your chair/couch is a low sitting one then they put the speakers at ear height, then obviously they can be raised if need be.

The cables are standard Figure 8 C7. I used a pair from Sonos speakers which fit fine but there are loads of cheap ones of varying length on Amazon, eBay etc and I'd imagine any with a right angled connector would be fine. Speaking of which I need to get another one for the sub.

Definitely

Cant see it

Have you had a chance to hear it? Got any more information?

You're right, that pic is of the q910b which is a much inferior bar. The extra box btw is what makes the surround speakers "wireless" on that one, the box itself is wireless then the speakers have to be wired to it.

Please tell me how you play DAB stations? Do you have a separate DAB receiver or is it built in? Thanks

I've got it for £375. I posted that deal and another one a month later, for about £450.
The fact this one was cheaper does not influence my opinion at all. I have it, I like it, it was a good buy for me, but personally, I think is worth about £400-450.

Tried to find on Totum app but can't see it

Yeah same for me, knock mine down to £469, best I seen was after cashback was £400!!

Haven't had any drop outs at all including the rear speakers, using Samsung QN95A tv

Had the soundbor since late last year (edited)
