SAMSUNG3.1.2Ch Soundbar 2021 Black - HW-Q700A

Very nice

It’s so perfect for me am not complaining at all about it

The sound is not bad, but… If you want to use it with a Samsusng TV and not just as a bluetooth speaker, think twice. After facing the issue I investigated online and the internet is all over problem solving techniques, from unplugging and replugging cables to firmware update hard reset to dropping HDMI connection completely and use optical connection instead. None of these works, it keeps dropping the connection, sometimes in every 5 seconds, sometimes after 2-3 hours of problem free operation. This makes the product unusable, I’m returning it.

Tried hours of troubleshooting but the subwoofer fails to connect. Such an over engineered product. Simple cable connected to subwoofer would have done it but what a waste.

It's good enough to be top-rated by Consumer Reports, in my opinion. I'll give some tips on why or why not to get it, and what it is:* I wouldn't get it if your TV doesn't have HDMI eARC capability. If your TV only does HDMI ARC, I'd save a fair bit and get an ARC (not eARC) soundbar.* If you're going to also stream music to this soundbar from your phone, iPad or other device, this is a good choice. Very fast & easy Bluetooth pairing.* If you will stream music directly from your router (Wi-Fi), you're in business because it does that too.* If you want an included Bluetooth subwoofer of excellent quality, it's a good choice. Of course, at this price you will be using a subwoofer, I expect. You'll like the subwoofer.* Operating power consumption is 28W, whereas regular speakers on average use 100W. The soundbar and the subwoofer each draws .5W in standby mode. But use a high quality surge protector with it, because it doesn't have a surge protector built-in. I know this from calling to check since the manual didn't mention it.* If you prefer traditional surround sound, consider that this unit uses Dolby Atmos (or you can use DTS:X). Which one is preferable probably depends more on the room than anything. Dolby Atmos is right for me which is one reason I selected this Q-series soundbar.* This soundbar features 4K Pass-through and HDR.* Handles Alexa voice which may come in handy depending on how you roll and your views on privacy.* Remote control, included, is quite intuitive as expected of Samsung, one of the major brands for soundbars.* If you're going to mount this soundbar, be aware that the brackets are designed such that they're 24" apart. Believe me, this is a heavy soundbar, something I would not personally mount on drywall with mere anchors, but that's me - I don't like creating large holes in the drywall to accommodate anchors; I want to secure something with weight to studs to be more secure. Because the studs in my wall are 16" apart, I'm going to buy brackets separately and use wood screws to put them into the studs. And I'm going to use nano tape to make sure the soundbar is truly secure on the brackets I'll select. At any rate, Samsung doesn't provide screws for the wall. The only screws they provide is for affixing the brackets they include to the soundbar. See my photos to know exactly what I'm talking about.* This is an appropriate soundbar if your TV processes Dolby Digital Plus, but not if your TV only processes Dolby Digital. You want to be able to get Dolby Atmos which isn't possible if your TV doesn't use Dolby Digital Plus.* You can later add 2 back speakers that will connect with Bluetooth to this soundbar. Samsung sells those, of course. I called Samsung to ask about how this soundbar decodes sound for the back speakers, and the guy I spoke with had to get with his manager who concluded I would need to call their expert on this. I was provided the number to call the expert which I will probably get around to in a couple months.* The soundbar itself has 8 speakers. It uses a lot of technology to make extremely sophisticated sound that justifies the price. I'm delighted with it.

Sound bar sounds great ,fast delivery, pkg was well done . No complaints about anything.

I'd been looking for a soundbar to replace my Samsung 2.1 I've had since 2016. I wanted something with Atmos, even though not a lot of content. I've been through 4 other soundbars, 1 was 5.1.2, two 3.1.2's, and one 2.1.2. The problem I was running into was that the center channel putting out the voice always sounded completely separate from rest of the sound, which is distracting to me (if it doesn't bother you, the LG SP8YA is an awesome deal and great sound, great atmos). Like having the music coming from two speakers and the voice coming from an Amazon Echo. I would be looking right at the center channel.This Samsung, which was my last shot, doesn't have that problem. The voice doesn't sound divorced from the rest. If it's something with harder to hear voice, I can quickly change a setting or two. The Atmos is decent, no better or worse than other Atmos soundbars I've heard (I tried Carnival Row for this). I played a bunch of shows I've rewatched before, like Survivor, Masterchef, and the Amazing Race, and sounds great. Playing Expedition Unknown, I heard audio I've never heard before.Music wise, played a few songs I always use to set up sound, Steely Dan's Aja and Black Sabbath's Heaven And Hell, and sounded pretty good. I'd still use my receiver for those, but, nice to see this hit the notes.Some complain that the bass module is not strong enough, and, granted, I'd rather use the one that came with the old sound bar, but, it does well enough. Highly recommend this soundbar.

I bought my system used. When it came it would not power on. I tested the output DC voltage on the power supply and it had none. I contacted the seller and they offered me a discount off my purchase amount that was enough to buy a compatible power supply (and a little more). Once I hooked it up, the system powered up, and has been performing perfectly.This system has very good sound quality and the bass fills the room when playing a movie.

Bought the Q700A soundbar & sub. It took me longer to take it out of the box and find an outlet splitter than it took to power on connect to the tv and have it up and running. This thing rocks! I fully recommend giving it a try, you won’t regret it. I would buy this again for another tv. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
