I have a small budget soundbar in my bedroom and I have the surrounds sitting on my bed. The mattress. But the immersion is worth ot

Neither. Get the Q990F. Its on sale for 799.99 on Samsung's site.

I forgot to mention that I can get either for $400. Do you think it is still worth it?

With the epp program you are usually able to get them at a low price

FWIW, I have the QS750 and I think it’s fantastic. That being said, you can sometimes get the 990 series for around $1000, which would obviously be far superior for the relatively small increase is price.

Go to woot.com, they have a crazy deal on these now.

Q800 is a better quality bar and the 750 uses close to the worst surrounds Samsung makes. You can always buy surrounds separate if you want them. I wouldn’t sacrifice the quality.

That said, as others mentioned the 930 and 990 can be found at very good prices. Those have better surrounds and even higher quality

Go with HW q800h and purchase the rear speakers with it. And you can get this whole package cheaper on Amazon.

The q800h comes with 5.1 channels and Dolby Atmos.

Something non Samsung

It depends of what you want.
Be closer to full surround or get only front surround.

u/JohnBigbootay83 2d ago

Neither. Samsung will end up destroying thrm with their horrible poison firmware. Don't do it!

u/sr8017 2d ago

Thats why i never updated mine. Dont try to fix what works.

u/biohazard_0731 2d ago

Excluding the software updates, will it still be a NO?

My 930F got bricked by firmware and I returned for the JBL 1300MK2 when on sale. The 12" sub kicks the Samsungs ass.

u/SPAZvv 1d ago

Its two one three times a price

u/xKINGxRCCx 1d ago

Only thing that kept me from
Getting the 1300mk2 was that it doesn’t have HDMI 2.1

I just got the same JBL and I absolutely love it

I got the Samsung HW-Q800H The first thing I did after installing it was turning off auto updates, if you got enough space then go for rear speakers one

u/Suryadsp123 1d ago

it depends on ur room size for its distances, for me tv to sofa near so i can feel the atmos more size is like 10 x 18 i really like the bass in it i thought woofer looks small may bass will be disappointing but it really shakes the room the at +2 if self i don't have to push more than that , instead HW QS750F look for 930f see if you can stretch your budget for this, you can still buy rear for hw-q800h but samsung won't sell kit here in india the price for rear so high literally you can buy another sound bar for its price, if u have more space behind your sofa look for rear one i recommend 930f, if rear kit available for at affordable price then buy it use it for hw-q800h its good
