Samsung HW-Q990C guide for PC

The Samsung HW-Q990C is the South Korean brand’s flagship soundbar for 2023 and retains the same remarkable level of immersion delivered by last year’s model thanks to an 11.1.4-channel speaker layout based around wireless rears and a powerful subwoofer, along with support for the Dolby Atmos and DTS:X object-based audio formats.

The finish has been upgraded and the performance has been tweaked, but otherwise, it remains as well-made and feature-packed as the HW-Q990B, with AI-enhanced processing, a range of dedicated sound modes, auto room calibration, and built-in smarts courtesy of Alexa.
The Samsung HW-Q990C is the manufacturer's flagship soundbar released in 2023. It replaces last year's Samsung HW-Q990B and comes with many of the same features for an immersive listening experience. As expected from Samsung's models, this setup has many different customization tools, including a SpaceFit Sound Pro room correction feature to optimize the bar's sound based on your room. Q-Symphony support also lets you pair the bar with a compatible Samsung TV for a more all-around sound. Plus, built-in Alexa gives you hands-free control of your device.

The Samsung HW-Q990C is the company's latest and greatest Dolby Atmos soundbar, offering flagship specs at a flagship price.

That means 11.1.4 wireless sound that aims to fill your living room with sound, from ceiling to sofa, and offers up a features list that is packed with all the good stuff you'd expect.
The only thing is, things look a little familiar here, when compared with last year's excellent Samsung HW-Q990B, so where is your money best spent if you're looking for the very best soundbar you can buy? Here's our full review.

This superb soundbar delivers highly engaging Dolby Atmos and DTS:X sonics thanks to a class-leading 11.1.4-channel speaker layout and effective room correction. Overall sonics are superb, with plenty of power, although bear in mind the older and now cheaper HW-990B is virtually identical in terms of features and overall performance.
Key upgrades include improved bass performance, a new version of Q-Symphony to pair up with recent Samsung TVs and SpaceFit Sound Pro to calibrate to the room you are using it in. These combine to deliver the best sound possible for your space with minimal setup required.

You can buy the Samsung HW-Q990C at Samsung, Amazon and Best Buy. The retail price is $1,899.99, but we are already seeing deals.
