The HW-Q990F is Samsung's top-class soundbar of 2025. Thanks to the 11.1.4 channel system, True Dolby Atmos, 2 included rear speakers and a surprising dual driver subwoofer, I enjoy realistic cinema-worthy sound.
Extensive sound system The HW-Q990F is an 11.1.4. soundbar. The system has a total of 23 speakers, divided over 11 channels, a subwoofer and 4 upward-facing speakers. This allows me to listen to realistic film sound. I set the volume overwhelmingly high or whisper-quiet, without the sound quality deteriorating. This way I enjoy every film and series I watch. I also think the soundbar is a good choice for music. This way I hear every detail of my favorite songs on Spotify.
Surround sound with True Dolby Atmos I enjoy spatial surround sound with the HW-Q990F. This is due to the 4 upward-facing speakers of the soundbar and 2 included rear speakers. The sound of the rear speakers in particular is immediately noticeable. When I watch Dolby Atmos content, the sound sounds even more spacious and the upward-facing speakers of the soundbar play a greater role. With these films or series, the sound reflects off the ceiling and the surrounding walls to my seat. In short: with the HW-Q990F, I am right in the middle of the action.
Compact subwoofer The supplied subwoofer looks small, but still provides deep bass tones. This cube-shaped subwoofer has 2 built-in 8-inch drivers and fills the room with sound. This means I don't miss a moment of my favorite action films. I can hear the subwoofer clearly, but the bass tones are never overwhelming. No matter how loud I turn up the volume, the bass tones remain clear and complement the sound of the soundbar nicely.

Hesitating to keep this for atmos surround, as I don't know yet how this is going to sound.
