Samsung HW-Q990C 11.1.4-Channel Soundbar Review
The Samsung Q990C is an excellent soundbar that offers all of the benefits of the Q990B, our Editors' Choice winner for high-end soundbars last year. That’s because the $1,899.99 Q990C is almost the same exact system, completely untouched except for some software tweaks and audio processing improvements. It still offers immersive spatial audio with 11.1.4 channels including rear satellites and upward-firing drivers, powerful bass thanks to its subwoofer, and built-in Apple AirPlay and Spotify Connect for seamless smartphone pairing. That said, the JBL Bar 1300X ($1,599.99) remains our Editors' Choice this year for its lower price, wireless battery-powered rear satellites, and support for Google Cast in addition to Apple AirPlay. Design: Unchanged From the Q900B Physically, the Samsung Q990C soundbar is identical to the Q990B at 2.7 by 48.5 by 5.4 inches (HWD), with the same flat, angled shape and metal grille that wraps around the front and sides with angled panels at the corners....
The Samsung Q990C soundbar delivers powerful 11.1.4-channel spatial audio with plenty of extra features for a pretty stiff price.
