Looking to upgrade your home cinema setup's audio? You may find yourself in a spot where a lone soundbar won't quite cut it, but a full-fat surround sound system is overkill or unpractical. If so, then this deal might be for you...
Samsung's current flagship soundbar system, the Q990C, has had its price slashed by £465, dropping from £1400 – the price it cost when we tested it recently – down to £935 over at Amazon.
The upcoming Q990D package was revealed at CES 2024, however, until that's available for purchase in the UK, the Q990C remains the top-tier system Samsung offers.
The Samsung Q990C soundbar package earned a respectable four-star review when we put it through its paces in our test room recently. We were impressed with its sense of scale, height, and weight. Setting up the system is effortless and takes no time at all, which is always appreciated.
The main soundbar features centre, left, and right channels beneath its front grille which consist of 110 x 52mm racetrack drivers and a 52mm tweeter. On each end of the bar, there are ‘side’ and ‘wide’ full-range drivers. There are also two 50mm full-range up-firing drivers, one on either end of the bar which are used to help create the effect of Dolby Atmos audio.
The two surround speakers in the Q990C feature three drivers. The setup sees one driver firing forwards, one firing sideways, and one upfiring. They combine well with the main soundbar to fill out the sound field and create a three-dimensional audio experience in quite an impressive way. The subwoofer adds weighty, extended low-end and integrates well with the rest of the system, creating an enjoyable, cohesive sound.
If you want something offering a full, rich and easy-going sound to improve your home cinema experience, then this deal on the Samsung Q990C is worth a look!
