SAMSUNG HW-Q600A/XL Dolby Atmos 360 W Bluetooth Soundbar

After good amount of search, I found samsung Q600A Atmos sound bar suit my requirements. (Over Sony G-700 Atmos speakers)\nI am using the sound bar with sony tv x90h (TV supports ARC and eARC)\n\nPros:\nSound bar produces Good bass and vocals.\nTreble and bass, can be adjusted.\nInbuilt sound modes- Adaptive, game and surround comes in handy.\nAffordable Atmos speakers(ARC port).\n\nCons:\nNo app support \nNo eARC support\nNo surround speakers (not available at this price range anyway)\n\nOver all good sound bar at this price point (28k!!!)\n\nAlso keep in mind that, there is no much Atmos content available at this point. If atmos is not you priority, you can find many options.

Excellent sound with Dolby atmos, fully satisfied

This soundbar is for TV and home theaters. I purchased this soundbar as sound in my Samsung QLED was not up to mark for movies. Please read following:\n\n1. Soundbars are not for music. You get a better sound with MP3 on a 3.5 mm supported 2.1/5.1 channel audio. If you wish to have full potential of this soundbar in terms of music, you need hi-res audio, like FLAC or DTS. Or you buy original CDs and play them in your home theater, then only you can experience that level of music. With CD audio, FLAC or DTS, it can easily beat any 5.1 channel audio system.\n\n2. Before going for such soundbar, it is to be considered that Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos contents are very limited as of now. To get full potential you need movies with Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos audio (with 5.1 channel or more). With that your experience of watching movies will be next level.\n\n3. Q-Symphony mode with Samsung QLED TV gives you additional advantage in terms of surround sound. You get full potential of Atmos with crystal clear sound. Samsung TV remote is also controlling both TV and Soundbar, so no need to carry n number of remotes.\n\n4. Build qualify is superb. Subwoofer is wooden and looks premium. Subwoofer is wireless, which connects automatically to soundbar and you can place anywhere in the room without worry. It always gives you sound along with soundbar. Even if you place it behind you, you get base direction from soundbar itself. On other hand soundbar is heavy in terms of build equality. It delivers what it promises.\n\n5. It has one extra HDMI and 1 extra USB which can be used to connect HDMI input devices/USB devices to TV without directly connecting them to TV. (This option work like charm in Samsung TVs, I am not sure about others.)\n\nTheoretically, Bluetooth and Digital audio out support upto a level of bit rate and beyond that it gives compressed audio. Hence in order to experience full potential of Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby Atmos, you need, HDMI-ARC/EARC supported devices. By the way this do not have HDMI-eARC Port (which was not expected, but it does the job of ATMOS, without HDMI-eARC).\n\nEarlier before this soundbar, I used to have 5.1 audio system with 3.5 mm jack. Truly speaking, I rarely see any difference between 5.1 audio system and this soundbar in terms of Surround Sound. Since I had no 3.5 mm jack in my Samsung TV and the experience of 5.1 audio system via Bluetooth was not up to mark, I decided to choose this Soundbar. But it was impressive and in some movies with Dolby Atmos, it was giving some extra sound effects which were not experienced before.\n\nBut as I said, you need right content to experience this device. Choose wisely, overall it is a good soundbar in you have appropriate format of video and audio. But in this price range no other soundbar can beat it.

I have a sony 1000 w home theater I have been using for last 10 years and samsung q600a is my recent purchase. Compared to the Sony, the samsung q600a is more crisp in terms of sound clarity. Sony is great for music but for voice and little sound notes the samsung takes a lead. If you are a music lover then go for sony but for movies go for samsung as in sony the background music often overpowers the dislogues.

Great soundbar. Everything is perfect. \n\nUSB input only for playing songs and HDMI input only for gaming consoles.\n\nCons : \nDoesn’t have WiFi connection..\nDoesn’t have 4k pass through, which means, you cannot connect USB to watch movies, only listen to music, or HDMI to connect to Dish TV.
