Samsung Q600C 3.1.2ch Q Series Soundbar Speaker (2023) - Dolby Atmos & Virtual DTS:X Audio With 9 In Built Speakers, 6.5" Wireless Subwoofer, Adaptive & Gaming Sound And Bluetooth Connectivity

A couple of years ago, having bought a new Samsung TV, we bought an earlier version of this soundbar. It was a disaster. Never worked properly then failed completely. Took a long time to get a refund etc etc. So we went back to our old faithful Onkyo AV receiver.Two years on, the Onkyo, which must be well over 20 years old, finally failed so we were looking for a soundbar again. After a lot of research this Q600C looked the best option. Did everything we needed, fitted our TV unit, and was compatible with our Samsung TV, giving the bonus of Q Symphony, where the system mixes sound from the TV speakers and the soundbar. This really does make a difference. I'd note that wireless rear speakers are available separately should you want proper surround sound.The soundbar was extremely easy to set up, almost everything happening automatically. We went for a wired HDMI connection between the soundbar and the TV to get the benefit of HDMI ARC although you can set it up to work wirelessly via bluetooth should you prefer. The subwoofer connection is wireless, giving you maximum flexibility in positioning it. The soundbar also works as a bluetooth speaker, allowing 2 smart phones to be linked, and switching between functions is easy.My only slight criticism is that the subwoofer lacks real heavy bass punch. It's still light years better than the TV speakers but, compared to, say, the Onkyo it replaced, the bass is not that powerful. If the Onkyo was cranked right up the floor vibrated; not with the Samsung (which I note is about half the weight)!At the price we paid on Amazon, which is £200 less than we could have bought it for locally at the time, this soundbar is a very good buy.

Sound is amazing. Although it is much better after I added the surrounds sound speaker it complements the whole Cinema 5.1.2 and you can feel the cinematic effect.. overall it is a decent low cost/ affordable samsung soundbar. It does what it says on the tin. It is very well made and very good for Dolby atmos content and not bad for music.. lack a bit of treble and could do a bit more bass but for what it is it can get really loud. Beautiful clear vocals and sound and mid range etc.. settings and remote are good, connectivity is great and fite nicely under my Tv at 50". I would recommend this soundbar as for me it is an exceptional piece which has satisfied my expectation and revive my home Cinema setup to enjoy the latest dolby format, Dtsx/Dolby atmos.

Everything was great

Our living room is about 4.5m x 3.8m and all in plaster or stone. We have a Samsung 55" OLED, so I wanted to stay in the family. At the time of purchase, October 2023, this was a £600 system, which I didn't want to pay. It went on sale for £253 and I snapped it up.This room is far too small and there are far too few plug sockets to handle a 5.1, 7.1 or 9.1 system. (Anyone who lives in a 130-year-old house like we do understand.)This is a good happy medium for us. Online tech reviews gave it high marks (even for 600 quid) while criticising the Dolby Atmos. In a room this small, with stone walls to bounce the sound around, we think it works great. Movies, especially modern-day action ones with lots of sound design sound three dimensional. The Q Symphony sound is wonderful.Another criticism by the online tech writers said it doesn't handle music well. I am playing a CD on my Panasonic UHD player and it sounds full. I am listening to a symphonic score (the 50th anniversary remastering of Live and Let Die) and, to me, it is fine.I am older, so this is all golly-gee-whiz stuff to me. I grew up with 240i and no stereo. To me, this sounds like a cinema and we are immensely happy with it.Set-up is a breeze, especially because we have a Samsung TV. I have had no issues pairing my phone or tablet to the soundbar for when I want to listen to a podcast or audiobook. You do need good HDMI 2.1 cables (be sure to look up the specs).Good price, good system. If you have a larger room and more places to plug in speakers, then go with a bigger system, but for our little parlour, this is perfect and far better than the telly speakers.

Very pleased with purchase.Item came well packaged and was fairly easy to set up.We are very pleased with the high quality sound which has improved our movie experience a whole lot.We ran the soundbar via optical and installed the woofer behind the T.V.There is ample bass and settings.

Great quality and value.However no surround speakers available on web.So no expansion capability. Had to return it.

Really good soundbar but I decided I wanted to get the rear speakers too . Should of researched a bit more as I've looked for the compatible rear speaker samsung 9200s and every online place I found that did the speakers had sold out and it doesn't look like they can get more stock I think samsung has stopped making them and from what I can see the newer versions are not compatible with this soundbar a real shame as I don't see why samsung can't make the newer versions backward compatible, disappointing 😕

Great sound quality and reallyveasy to set up .....highly recommend
