SUPER SONICS: Samsung HW-Q990C

Building on the success of previous generations Samsung’s latest flagship soundbar delivers exceptional object-based sound

- 

If you're looking for a soundbar with impressive build quality, immersive capabilities, extensive features and a genuinely immersive 11.1.4-channel soundstage experience, you've come to the right place.

Kicking off with the aesthetics the HW-Q990C looks much the same as its predecessor using the same large cabinet, angled corners, front-positioned display and robust metal mesh grille. It does come with a new finish that is described as "Titan Black'. In reality it's more like a matte dark grey, but the soundbar is still attractive and easy to clean. 

The build quality is excellent, and the dimensions will suit TVs with screen sizes of 55 inches or larger. There's a choice of stand- or wall-mounting, and if you decide on the latter Samsung includes dedicated brackets for this purpose.
