Samsung's HW-Q990D – a five-star Dolby Atmos soundbar, subwoofer and wireless rear speaker package – was already hovering around its lowest price ever and we are now pleased to report, less than a week before Amazon's Prime Big Deals Days event, that it has finally dropped even further, to an all-time low price.

It was £993, but right now, you can snag this sonic superstar for just £979 at Amazon, down from its usual £1111 RRP. That's a hefty saving of £132 or around 12%. 

Its previous all-time low price on Amazon was £982 (which we saw back in September) and this extra drop makes this deal a little harder to resist for anyone looking to upgrade their TV audio setup.

One of our favourite Dolby Atmos soundbars, the Samsung HW-Q990D is what our expert reviews team called "a hugely compelling package overall" thanks to its big, immersive and three-dimensional sound. It's not only a superb choice for movie enthusiasts but also gamers courtesy of its 4K/120Hz HDMI 2.1 inputs. Five stars

The HW-Q990D is one of the best Dolby Atmos soundbars out there, and for good reason. This 11.1.4-channel behemoth delivers a truly immersive audio experience that very few soundbar packages can match. In our review, we praised its large, immersive and three-dimensional soundfield, as well as its dynamic, weighty and detailed presentation.

One of the standout features of the Q990D is its upgraded HDMI connectivity. With two HDMI 2.1 inputs supporting 4K/120Hz, VRR and ALLM, it's a dream come true for gamers looking to maximize their next-gen console setups. The system also supports the latest audio formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, ensuring you're covered no matter what you're watching.

But it's not just about the specs – the Q990D delivers where it counts. Its room-filling sound places effects in three-dimensional space with impressive precision, creating a truly cinematic experience in your living room. Whether you're watching the latest blockbuster or enjoying your favourite music, the Q990D brings energy and life to your audio.

Before you head to checkout, we should point out that this deal isn't being offered directly by Amazon; it's sold by Reliant Direct. The third-party seller has an impressive five-star rating and 95 per cent positive feedback in the last 12 months (based on 777 ratings), though, which should provide some peace of mind for those wary of third-party Amazon sellers.

Overall, at this near-record low price of £993 at Amazon, the Samsung HW-Q990D is definitely worthy of adding to your shortlist – especially if you're in the market for a convenient audio upgrade.
