Samsung's Q990 series soundbar bundle is a compact home theater setup that stands out for immersive surround sound, clear vocals, and strong wireless sub and rear speaker performance. The system can get very loud, handles Atmos and DTSX well, and the dual 8 inch sub is reported to fill even a 20 by 20 room better than expected. The main cautions are Samsung firmware and support headaches, including reports of bricked or unresponsive bars and Wi Fi disconnects. Some also find the bass and overall sound less satisfying than a separate AVR and speaker setup, especially at higher volumes.
The bundle can deliver strong surround output with wireless sub and rear satellites included.
The system can produce clear vocals while keeping bass as a secondary focus.
The compact dual 8-inch sub can fill a 20x20 room well when expectations are set appropriately.
The Q990-series can work with Apple TV 4K to Samsung TVs via eARC without reported issues over several years.
Samsung firmware updates can brick soundbars and can also cause unresponsiveness after later versions.
The soundbar can have constant disconnects and poor performance with Apple TV even when using pass-through.
The soundbar may require turning the volume up pretty high to feel satisfying compared with other home theater systems.
The rear speakers can require 1/4-20 thread mounting holes, which may limit compatible wall-mount options.

I've done a lot of reading on whether an upgrade like this new system is worth it. I seem to read either "your current system is close enough to this new one, don't buy" or "get the new one, Samsung has made refinements that are meaningful"
In general, my system is fine, but i don't heard sounds as loudly from the surround speakers as I'd like to.
Please give advice, thanks!
A lot of really good engineering went into these Samsung bars. They actually use a lossless codec for wireless transmission to the sub and rears, and can get incredibly loud without noticeable distortion. The DSP is very good as well. On most systems I prefer to listen in "stereo" mode for music but the "adaptive" mode that upmixes a stereo or 5.1 source to use all the channels actually sounds great on this system. I only toggle it to "Standard" when using a true Atmos source.
Another thing I'm not sure they advertise - if you use a samsung phone, my Q990D connects with SSC (Samsung Seamless Codec) for bluetooth, which gives great quality over standard bluetooth connection. I don't use bluetooth that much for it but it's a nice convenience.
If you get one of these make sure and try out some surround music. My personal favorites are Dire Straits Brothers in Arms (the 5.1 mix SACD sounds amazing on this) and the new Atmos Blu-ray of Alan Parson project Eye in the Sky has been a family favorite since it came out a couple months ago.
