Hey man, great video! Im looking at a new soundbar for my samsung s95 65" and am looking at the hw-q800b (w sub) vs the sonos arc (bar only). Curious on your thoughts, i believe my tv will get q-symphony. I listened to the sonos arc in store and it was amazing, unfortunately cant compare it
I have a Samsung QN90a TV and it doesn't support DTS sound. So I bought the HW-Q800b Samsung sound bar. It supports all content like DTS etc. The problem is that I connect a movie with DTS content to the TV with HDD and when I try to open it, it gives an error that it does not support it, but the sound bar supports it. Although the sound system is connected to the TV with eark, I could not solve the problem. What should I do to play DTS sounds and get full performance from the sound bar?
I got this sound bar included with my Samsung S95C. I liked the 990 model, is there an option to buy separate surround speakers and have it work with this sound bar.
Firstly I enjoyed your video I believe i am sold on getting this now even through reading and seeing rates on rtings website. But I also wanted to say it is nice to see that you respond to questions on your comments. As I said I am sold on it already but soundbar will do good with my LG CX ? Want to get the soundbar this week before Spider-Man 2 comes out on my PlayStation 5
I just bought the Q800C soundbar + subwoofer and in looking to get the rear speakers as well but I can't seem to understand which speakers are actually compatible with the Q800C. Is the S9500 my only option?
Friend, what way would be the best for movies and listen better to dolby atmos and dtx? I understand that the standard mode but the adaptive mode also sounds good? Any equalizers? Central lateral channel levels and those of firing? Low levels?
Lows will be taken care of through the subwoofer, and it depends on what movie your watching, if your watching an old movie adaptive is fine, if your watching something new like transformers or something with alot of action I would use the surround modes.
@@WaltsTV sonido envolvente te refieres a sourround? Y las mejoras de voz y graves activadas o desactivadas? Los niveles de los canales central lateral y de diparo?
I bought the Q930b and the instructions for wall mounting say that you have to have space between your tv and the soundbar below because of the upfiring speakers for dolby atmos. So mounting directly under the tv is not a good idea.
Hello, what is the difference between 800b and 800c, in Canada 800b is 170 dollars cheaper than 800c, which one i should pick? Thank you. Hope to get your feedback
Hey bro, great vid! Im looking a new dolby atmos soundbar for my mini studio/bedroom and my Non Samsung TV (support eARC) and im looking Samsung HW-Q800A/B vs Sony HT-G700. I am really into music. Although I'm a bass head person, I still consider about clarity. Can u recommend me what should I buy? Thank u
Have you looked at the Polk Magnify Max AX? - ua-cam.com/video/uHo5zgIX4Xk/v-deo.html I really like that sound bar for music, especially with the bass, And it has great voice as well so movies sound great.
When you go to audio settings > surround sound in the FireTV stick.. I recommend setting to Dolby Digital Plus instead of (Best Available). Whether the streaming stick is plugged directly into the TV or into the HDMI-in port of the Soundbar, I notice a delay in audio playback with Amazon Music, because it keeps switching between Stereo PCM and DD+. Better to have it always on DD+ output, since the soundbar can decode it. As for music or most stereo sources, Standard sound mode works fine. I use Adaptive for movies and TV. Surround for movies and TV with less processing. Bass and subwoofer offset are two diff settings. Sub I believe is even lower frequencies like 20-60hz.
Standard sound, surround takes the centre channel away, and standard is surround. Set firestick at DD+, for Atmos. Amazon music has Atmos capability on boxes, but not on actual TV app. Strange 🙃
Good video Friend I have a question I have an Lg tv up7760psb I want to buy this bar I have a question if this tv is only compatible with DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1 or DOLBY DIGITAL Plus but it is not compatible with ATMOS when playing a movie in 5.1 from Amazon or Netflix will be activated the sound also in the top and side speakers to create the Surround effect using the surround sound mode or the Standard mode?🙏🙏
@@WaltsTV So, friend, when a movie is played in 5.1, if the 5 front channels of the bar are heard, it is obviously true with Surround or surround mode, let's see if you confirm my friend 🙏
yes because the voice is happening in front of you, the point of rear speakers is not to make it louder but to get a more realistic surround experience!
I have been using it for 1 or 1 and a half years, but I seem to hear a crackling sound in one of the speakers in the soundbar, but I cannot detect it. What can I do for this? Is there any test video or something else, I am waiting for help.
that's odd, it is possible you could have blown the speaker. Although they are not traditional speakers with high sensitivity its still possible to blow them if always played at really high volumes.
ooooh thats a hard one, At that point I would look at something Like the polk magnifi max, which we did a video on that as well. This is a solid option Im just not a massive sony soundbar fan.
Sound bars are sound bars they will work regardless i dont think phillips has anything good to offer in audio. How old is your tv? Does it have hdmi arc and if not you have to use optical to connect it
Hi, i just bought q800b, but found that when testing center channel with dolbly 5.1, the sound is coming from a bit left to the middle (close to multi-func button but not exact the middle of the bar). Is it because the midrange and tweeter are placed horizontally in the middle, so sound from midrange vs from tweeter causes this diff? Thanks in advance!
Most likely yes, I wouldnt take hearing out up close as what the soundbar sounds like, it uses all of the speakers including the heights to give you the best experience when sitting away from it. So thats probably why it sounds funky up close.
Hey, today I learned something new: "This soundbar has Dolby DTS". 😂 😂😂 On another note, I am oscillating between Q800C (newer version of this one) and Q930C. Unfortunately I don't have space behind me to mount the rear speakers for Q930C. They would be positioned more lateral than behind, so I am thinking that I might not get my money's worth for the difference between the two models.
when you say you dont have room im assuming there is a wall behind you? If so then the atmos height speakers on the 800C will still sound super realistic!
@@WaltsTV Yes, there is my bed against the wall and the rear speakers would seat on the nightstands, more lateral than behind. I ordered both of them and I've received the Q930C. Tomorrow the Q800C should arrive and I will be able to compare them and decide which one to keep
Friend, how can I activate the spacefit sound on the Q800b bar? My TV is Philips but I say that only the bar calibrates itself with the spacefit, I put the spacefit on ON but it doesn't do anything
Yeah you can't change the wake word. But it's nice to have that extra alexa mic. Or you can turn on Bixby on the Samsung TV with soundbar pass-through, which overrides Alexa and just uses the soundbar mic as an extension of Bixby in the TV.
If anybody's looking at this comment in the future I'm going to leave this here: I recommend you don't use the built in Alexa as it ends up making the sound bar not produce sound after a couple of uses and the only way to fix it is to physically unplug the soundbar for 10 seconds. It's a random occuring bug and it hasn't been fixed. If you really need to use Alexa I recommend you get an echo Dot and pair with the soundbar
Hello, I think the LG S80QR is better. For example, the LG S80QR which if you compare it with this Samsung Q800B that is more expensive, does not have Hi Res nor IMAX Enhanced and nor does it decode MQA, which LG does. Greetings.
I have a Q600b and yesterday bought Q800b I'm very frustrated. The sub from my q600b is very very better than q800b. The sub on my q800b is too low. My q600b woffer volume on 3 is to loud. On q800b on volume 6 seems volume 0 on q600. Is a defective subwoofer? Or sub from q800b is lower than q600?

Alot of people buy the year or two old models at a discount and may still find value in a video like this. Also I am a one man team and cant possibly review every single product ever made even though I try.
@@WaltsTV I'm one of those buying this now, so grateful for your review. Also I like later reviews, less biased by the initial hype.
@@wgroenewald glad it found you!
Hi.q 600 or 800
If you can afford 800 thats better.
@@WaltsTV thank you for your reply this good at Atmos effect and bass
Bonus if you can get the SWA-9500s rear speaker kit. 2.0.2 rear channels, turn the whole setup into 7.1.4.
This or sonos beam 2 or sonos arc
If you can get the ARC it is better, but you also have to buy a subwoofer with sonos as where this soundbar already comes with one.
