I have this and it is amazing, highly recommended. I love Dolby Atmos, just make sure you're playing a movie that has an Atmos track before you try and say something negative about it.

Of course, this isn't the same setup as a true home theater with 11.1.4 speakers, but the system does have 22 "speakers" (all are single-driver speakers). This model is generally considered one of the better soundbar-type systems available.
The Samsung HW-Q990D soundbar system includes a total of 22 speakers. This includes 11 front-facing speakers in the soundbar, 1 subwoofer, and 4 up-firing channels (including rear speakers).
Here's a breakdown:
  • 11 front-facing speakers: These are located in the main soundbar.
  • 1 subwoofer: Provides deep bass for a more immersive experience.
  • 4 up-firing channels: This includes both the soundbar's up-firing drivers and the rear speakers' up-firing drivers.
  • Rear speakers: These have forward-firing, side-firing, and up-firing drivers.
To be fair, the breakdown is:
One speaker(bar) containing several tiny drivers/woofers.
Two satellite size speakers with several tiny drivers/woofers.
One very small subwoofer providing lower frequencies.

Get out of here with that. It has nothing to do with tariffs.

If you search SD here for a previous deal on this speaker, someone posted a code, but didn't work for me yesterday and probably doesn't work today. Samsung sometimes has codes that can be stacked to get more % off, but not always.
I couldn't find that post, do you mind sharing here? May be someone added a new coupon

Can confirm this price, any coupons or anything to stack? Last month some people posted some coupons for 10% off the sale price, or even a $50 discount when using the Samsung shop app. I think people were checking out for $760 or something with the extra coupons and discounts.
Ended up just under $700 otd here after discounts/coupons/refunds... enjoying it, a big step up from my old soundbar. Not great for music though if that's something you're looking for

Scroll through the comments, I think there's a couple codes, but pretty sure they are expired. Let me know if you find otherwise. Gotta scroll through all the comments, there's several pages of them.

I agree ; it's not as good as sonos or a dedicated hifi setup, but since I was coming from TV speakers and a silly $60 logitech 2.1 speaker system hooked up to an echo dot for music... literally anything would have been a gigantic upgrade for me. On adaptive mode it sounds decent. I also recommend trying a streaming service like tidal/qobuz as the atmos tracks sound way better than sirius and spotify.

Some day I'll get a Wiim receiver and a solid 2.1 hifi setup. Until then, this will do nicely.

Hoping for another code that knocks off another 10 percent off.

  • Rear speakers: These have forward-firing, side-firing, and up-firing drivers.
The number of speakers are right there: 11.1.4

It has 15 speakers and 1 sub.

Bar itself has 7 front facing speakers plus 2 Atmos speakers (9 speakers total), each satellite speaker has 2 speakers plus 1 Atmos speaker (6 speakers total), and then the sub.

That's what those numbers designate. 11 surrounds, 1 subwoofer, 4 Atmos. 11.1.4 🙂

edit: I stand corrected, there are a bunch of extra front middle channel speakers that aren't really called out unless you do a deep dive into the specs. The UK version/link shows it more clearly.

Quote from mehoff88 :
Morons are giving you the thumbs down. Amazing the amount of people that don't know good surround sound from a stupid soundbar. Absolutely hilarious.
You seem to strongly opinionated for no reason. I have a 6k+ system in my dedicated home theater setup. I wanted something for the living room but didnt want a whole setup with receiver, tower speakers, etc.

I got this soundbar last week and while it's not as good as my full setup, it's miles and miles ahead of any tv and puts out WAY more than enough for a living room setup. This soundbar also blows away any of the HTIB systems that used to be popular before soundbars. Just a good and full sound that defies what you would think you would get from a huge soundbar and some small surrounds.

On top of all that, everything is wireless so theres no cables to run inside walls. Simply plug in a few power cables and your up and running within minutes.

Most people know the difference between a full setup and soundbar, they're just completely different products for different applications. Before being an arrogant keyboard warrior, you should consider the bigger picture beyond your own opinion.

I've heard the sound grouping helps for music as well... I personally rarely use it for anything other than TV and movies, so not a big deal to me!

Sound grouping I think just makes all speakers play the same content and channels but I could be wrong.

Not that it's really worth debating, but 11.1.4 is the number of channels (claimed by Samsung), not speakers.

Please see the link below, where Samsung claims 22 speakers. There is also a diagram showing the speakers.

Please note that in my original post, I put quotes around "speakers" because that's what Samsung calls them, but they don't compare favorably to home theater speakers, which offer multiple drivers and crossovers. I consider this system to have 22 drivers, not speakers.

It's a good system for the price, but most enthusiasts are likely to prefer the sound of a 11.1.4 home theater, which has more channels than most AVRs can process or power. (Soundbar = lower cost, less space, and easier to use).

Per Samsung at the below link: "True 11.1.4ch Sound, 22 speakers for our most cinematic sound. Our best sound experience yet. Whether it's a movie or your favourite show, hear every detail in precise surround sound. Dive into the future of cinematic audio, right at home, with 22 speakers that are expertly tuned by Samsung's award-winning Audio Lab."
