SAMSUNG HW-Q800B/ZA 5.1.2ch Soundbar w/ Wireless Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Q Symphony, SpaceFit Sound, Built In Voice Assistant, AirPlay 2, Game Pro Mode, Tap Sound, 2022

I am very happy with my purchase. My soundbar sounds great. It compliments my Samsung Q TV and it was very easy to set up. Everything I needed was in the box and I am well pleased with the service I received from Beach Camara. I even ordered the rear speaker kit. I can't wait to hear this compete system. WOW!!!! I just received my rear speakers as I text. This system is designed to work best with the HDMI eARC connection. This connect your Samsung Q TV speakers with your Q800's soundbar. This gives you the best sound quality with all your speakers engaged throughout your system. I made sure I turned on all of the speaker settings on my Samsung smartphone. I worked the volume settings to get them balanced from front to rear base on my spacefit setting. I really like balancing my speakers with my space. It's like collaborating my Q TV. I get to experience all this system has to offer. Very nice. This soundbar system truly immerse you in true surround sound that enhances your viewing experience. Whether games or movies you get the best sound left right front to back. Make sure you use Smartthings to adjust your sound settings.

I was originally looking to purchase the top of the Samsung line HW-Q990B 11.1.4 setup, but to save some money I opted for the HW-Q800B (soundbar & Subwoofer) with the SWA-9500S (Wireless Rear Speakers). And after about two months of use, I must say that I am very satisfied! The Samsung HW-Q800B is a 5.1.2 setup out of the box, but with the added Samsung SWA-9500S wireless rear speakers, it’s upgraded to a 7.1.4 setup. I know it is not a true Dolby Atmos system without overhead ceiling channels, but the SpaceFit room correction, bass enhancement and Q-Symphony features do a really good job of simulating spatial audio by utilizing the TV speakers. Note: Q-Symphony is currently only compatible with Samsung TV (2020+ models). Final Thoughts: This is the perfect setup for someone who wants to bring a cinema experience into the living room without breaking the bank. I’ve impressed family and friends with Dolby Atmos content: “Top Gun Maverick” – Apple TV, “Drive To Survive” – Netflix, “The Last of Us” – HBO Max, etc. Setup breakdown: Samsung - 65” QN90B Neo-QLED (TV/Display) Samsung - HW-Q800B (Soundbar & Subwoofer) Samsung - SWA-9500S (Wireless Rear Speakers)

Having had both the preceding Q800A and Q900T bars before, I had reasonable - and high - expectations of the performance of this year’s HW-Q800B. And wow, have they kept the bar raised (no pun). This two-piece setup delivers a beautifully harmonious soundstage, with Dolby Atmos tracks (movies, anyway) being spread out and distributed through the air as if they’re there. I can only imagine the optional rear speaker add-on would only complete the wraparound effect; just by itself, the channels handle markedly well. One thing that sets Samsung’s Q-series bars apart is not only their pristine upper range and dialogue handling, but the low-end has massive punch, particularly the models including the 8” subwoofer. This creates truly theater-like thunder when it’s called for, and simply makes a movie’s audio what it needs to be. It must be commented that the HDMI pass-through performance is pretty much flawless, not only with Dolby Vision and HDR, but also CEC where everything adjusts and turns off together. Especially while this model is still on sale - Buy It. It’s worth it. UPDATE: the optional rear speakers (SWA-9500S) bring on even another layer of surround-sound nuance to this soundbar. Since they, too, have up-firing speakers, the full Atmos spectrum encapsulation is complete. Bullets do, indeed, whiz past your head. It’s also on sale now. DO IT.

The sound bar sounds great, especially when paired with the tv and rear speakers with Q symphony. Sounds like a movie theater and even better than that sometimes. The only complaint I have is that it will not stay connected to the the tv on wifi. It will jump off it and the tv will only play if you turn off both devices. I had it happen one time just switching movies. It’s irritating. I even had an optical on it set and just playing the sound system minus the tv and it will still jump off it and try BT pairing for no reason. After some experimenting I found hooking the optical to the sound bar and playing it through that + tv seems to work every time. I’ve been testing it out for a week now and it has not let me down.

I recently purchased the Samsung HW-Q800B/ZA Soundbar and I'm extremely happy with my purchase. This soundbar has exceeded my expectations in every way possible. The sound quality is absolutely fantastic, and the Dolby Atmos and DTS:X technology really bring my movies and TV shows to life. The SpaceFit Sound feature is a game-changer as it automatically adjusts the soundbar's settings based on my room's acoustics to deliver the best possible audio experience. The built-in voice assistant and AirPlay 2 features also make it incredibly convenient to use. Overall, I would highly recommend the Samsung HW-Q800B/ZA Soundbar to anyone who is looking for a high-quality, feature-packed soundbar. The sound quality is phenomenal, and the added features like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, SpaceFit Sound, and the built-in voice assistant make it well worth the investment.
