bgr.com • • technology
Key Points:
- The Samsung HW-Q900F soundbar received top honors from Consumer Reports, earning a perfect 5 out of 5 for sound quality, a distinction no other tested soundbar has achieved.
- This 7.1.2 system features seven front speakers, a wireless subwoofer, and two up-firing drivers for Dolby Atmos support, along with Samsung's SpaceFit Sound Pro Plus technology that optimizes audio based on room acoustics.
- The HW-Q900F includes Samsung's Q-Symphony feature, which combines soundbar and TV speakers for a wider soundstage, and has a dedicated center speaker to enhance dialogue clarity.
- It has strong user ratings, including 4.2/5 stars on Amazon and 4.9/5 at B&H Photo, supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and can wirelessly transmit Dolby Atmos when paired with compatible Samsung TVs.
- Priced at $1,500 but often discounted to around $1,000, the HW-Q900F remains available despite newer 2025 Q-Series models being released, while other high-scoring soundbars like the LG SC9S and Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Plus also offer excellent alternatives.
