Review on SAMSUNG HW-Q950T Soundbar 2020: Immersive 9.1.4ch Audio with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Alexa Built-in in Black by Janet Edwards

As someone with a regular job who is not a professional writer of reviews, I felt compelled to write one about this soundbar. First off, it's disappointing that this Revain product page bundles reviews of the Q60, Q70 and Q800 (not the '80s? Seriously, what's up with Samsung's marketing department?). So all ratings are lumped together. Many test reports complain that the bass is not strong enough, which bothered me a bit at first, for example. As it turns out, I have a house with a decent, if not huge, living room (but more than in my previous apartments), and I get decent bass from the Q70t and subwoofer (subwoofer placement is important in layman's terms). - ideally in a corner so bass bounces off walls - a potential problem), but the Q60 may lack bass. Of course I can't say anything about the Q800. So an assessment with the caveat that the product is miscible. I am very happy with this soundbar for this price. The sound is really crisp and clear. I found the quality to be much better than I expected. Atmos programs have a decent simulation of surround sound in my opinion. I don't think anything can really replace the physically offset speakers in the 5.1+, but this soundbar does a decent job of replacing the spatially positioned individual speakers. Sometimes I look back at the noise and then remember that this soundbar has surround sound capabilities. If you really need a home theater system then nothing beats a true surround sound system, but for the price and the lack of cables this is a really attractive option. In comparison, I had a $100 soundbar and the difference in quality was stark and dramatic. It's important to note that if you want to get the most out of these soundbars, you need to make sure they're not placed on a surface and are clear to the ceiling. . Placement on the middle shelf of a media cabinet would be extremely counterproductive for surround sound emulation. Also perform a firmware update. Previously, I had to turn off the soundbar every time I switched sound modes (not apps). So if I was watching an Atmos encoded Netflix show and then went to another show on Netflix that wasn't, I would need you to restart the soundbar for it to play again. All sorts of weird behaviors have been fixed with this update, this is really important. In short, if you're looking for a quality soundbar at a reasonable price, I'm personally quite happy with mine and would recommend it to others!
