You forgot to mention that the 4k 120hz pass through should eliminate the audio delay that plagues the Xbox Series X/S consoles when playing Dolby Atmos. I find it funnny that no reviewers ever seem to mention about this when it's such a big issue that might finally be fixed due to 2.1 pass through.

[@allenmoldovan]

HDMI 2.1 was the biggest upgrade.

[@sleepinglama14]

That delay is from the internal audio reformatting of the Xbox. It has nothing to do with HDMI 2.1 passthrough. Always run the Xbox in 5.1 or 7.1 LPCM for surround.

[@commonlynasty7987]

@@sleepinglama14 Sorry I didn't really explain it correctly. Dolby Atmos works perfectly on the Xbox when you pass through my soundbar BUT my soundbar is only hdmi 2.0 so I lose access to 4k 120hz HDR, etc doing it that way. Therefore my only option is to connect the Xbox to TV, then TV to soundbar via earc. This is what creates the audio delay. Now the new soundbar has hdmi 2.1 I can finally feed the Xbox through the soundbar without having to sacrifice ANYTHING and I also will have zero audio delay. Hopefully you understand now 🤞

Question is the rear speakers WIRELESS cause the Q990C you had to Wire the rear speakers

[@wxman2003]

I have the 990C and the rears are wireless. You only have to plug them into the wall for power. No wires to run to the soundbar.

[@stopthefomo]

all wireless, only power cords

[@chipmccray7546]

@wxman2003 that's what I ment im sorry I was hoping you didn't have to plug in a power cord this time thought it would've been more Bluetooth powered because I have the Samsung s95C 77" but I have no power plugs for the rear speakers

[@chipmccray7546]

@stopthefomo thank you for even responding I watch you all the time I learn alot from you but why do you think they do power cored instead of Bluetooth Powered cause in my situation I have the Samsung S95C 77" but how my house is built I don't have no where to plug in the rear speakers at all so now I don't know what to do or the next best soundbar to get because I really wanted to keep it all samsung and not mix up the name brands I wanted that Q Symphony Sound and experience that.

@@chipmccray7546All Soundbar systems and Receiver Systems are going to be powered in order to play audio. The only option would be the JBL 1300X with wireless rear speakers that are rechargeable (and can be powered as well). It’s more expensive, but will meet your completely wireless needs.

for some reason i got confused i thought this was lg lol

[@stopthefomo]

ROFL i should have made the Samsung logo larger

[@PEM-zt5rd]

What is this review? You claim to compare then say things like... "well the night mode on the 990C is APPARANTLY also good" what??? COMPARE THEM THEN... you did the same thing with the voice enhance feature on both... MAJOR MAJOR let down !!

[@FFROM5726]

Dolby Atmos has taken over not much content in DTS DTS X etc.. is PCM multi channel 🤔 better than DTS DTS X or ATMOS?

[@Kosmos2080]

I got a real dilema here hope someone can offer some advice. I want great speakers, google home connectivity, and good voice amplification. The q990C and D both have the good speakers and google home connectivity. Can anyone say if the voice amp is fine on the C or just way better on the D? Lastly your choice comes with the option to buy the (q990C at $570) or (q990D at $937)... Any advice will be appreciated. Im just tired of constantly raising and lowering my tvs volume during movies or tv shows

[@kamilprokopiuk5133]

where are these prices?

[@Ray-y6b]

Military program doesn't qualify for soundbar discounts :(

[@rafars2246]

$684.96 for the C right now

[@luisvelazquez3571]

Just saw that on the Samsung site through my employers discount program.

[@vinayak_vb]

Its actually $625 if you are first time buyer from the app(you get $50 off)

[@ManagerMatt1]

code doesnt work says invalid

[@stopthefomo]

My Whokeys code is invalid?? SF20 works I just checked!

[@beachstl]

Just had the q990d delivered yesterday with the student discount. I’m a gamer so it was clear for me.

[@TheAudioBoy2024]

hows the sound

[@michael-4k4000]

How much u pay son? Have the Q990c and was looking to upgrade. The Q990D could easily fit the bill!!!!

[@JurassicF4rt]

@@michael-4k4000 literally pointless to upgrade from a C to a D.

@@JurassicF4rtif you game yes lol😂

[@JurassicF4rt]

@@interistapazzo1.9.0.8 tf does gaming have to do with it because it has hdmi 2.1? Big whoop most TVs have inputs for that so your point is kind of flawed.

[@rogerstallone5857]

I would get the Nakamichi Dragon instead

[@stopthefomo]

but it's 4 times more expensive than the $850 Q990C! It's like telling me to get the Porsche instead of the Camry?!

[@R6ex]

Too expensive!

[@VanDammage87]

If you're spending Nakamichi money you're better off with a receiver and speakers.

[@JurassicF4rt]

@@VanDammage87exactly

[@eventhorizon2873]

if you have the money and patience. you have to wait along time for preorder. nakamichi does not have production capacity like samsung. some parts are even handmade

[@bartjeyeyo]

So its not worth it. Buy the 990c. Its the best soundbar for the low money it coast

[@stopthefomo]

Absolutely

[@eventhorizon2873]

tbf i think the 990d it is full of bs features except 120hz passtrough for those who care. the rest is all downgrade when you let AI run your calibration/experience. it just sound so poor

[@MrKishore247]

The worst Sound bar i have ever seen. I made a wrong investment. Please Dont buy it its not worth wifi connection sucks. But today i am satisfied for the sound of Soundbar Q990D Because I connected it to Apple tv 4k. Apple tv handles Q990D Sound better than Samsung Neo Qled TV. Samsung please focus on Software at least on flagship products. Dont losse value costumers
