Sound bars have their place. Typically a small apartment. I have a Samsung Q 800 it’s quite good. Would it be better with individual speaker of course but for my use case I prefer this. It’s cleaner looking and it works well.
r/BudgetAudiophile • Friend was gonna buy a brand new sound bar. I said nope. ->I find my samsung Q800 looks alright. It blends in fairly well on my tv stand. Everyone has been impressed with it so far.
r/BudgetAudiophile • Friend was gonna buy a brand new sound bar. I said nope. ->I find the cheap Samsung or the slim ones sound rough that’s why I called out the specific one I have. You have tried the Q800 or Q910/990 series? I used to have a Vizio that also sounded solid for what it was but the Samsung Q800 is far better. I went to a large audio shop and I wanted a soundbar for a variety of personal reasons and it was the best one that I could find.
r/BudgetAudiophile • Friend was gonna buy a brand new sound bar. I said nope. ->IMHO, the Q800D is an incredible value and will not disappoint. While the F series does have the newer compact sub, the actual driver size is smaller. The Q800D has an 8in driver, while the Q800F is a 6.5in driver with an 8in passive radiator. Both are superior to the S800 series, as they'll have much richer tone due to their larger drivers and higher wattage.
r/Soundbars • Samsung S800 v Q800D v Q800F ->Ya I went from a JBL 2.1 soundbar that maybe cost me $300 in 2019, to the Q800 it there was little to no difference. Some movies even sounded worse especially with voices or dialogue. Luckily I got it on sale but the normal price of these Samsung set ups for the quality is insane. Just get a decent speaker and avr set up for that.
r/BudgetAudiophile • Friend was gonna buy a brand new sound bar. I said nope. ->I recently purchased the Samsung Q800D and am QUITE impressed! \* wide sound state \* gets lound \* bassy if you like it that way \* fantastic instrument saparation I consume more music than tv/movies, so I notice the details more than cinema consumption, I'd say. Highly impressed with this soundbar so far, also considering how it doesn't have rear speakers.
r/Soundbars • Best soundbar without rear speakers? ->Go for q800d, even i am from India and been researching alot about it and with all the choices available to us q800d seems to be perfect option for you, plus one if you add rear speakers in the future. I bought q600c because i didnt have budget for 800d
r/Soundbars • Soundbar Suggestions under ₹40000/$450 ->Q800d/f is your best option. Slightly over your budget but worth it. I have bought 800d and q930f and both were excellent for movies.
r/Soundbars • Recommendations of a sound bar with Dolby Atmos and HDMI out. ->Q800d/f is your best option. Slightly over your budget but worth it. I have bought 800d and q930f and both were excellent for movies.
r/Soundbars • Recommendations of a sound bar with Dolby Atmos and HDMI out. ->Soundbars (high tier) nowadays are very good. Although. But if you really appreciate surround sound and/or music I would recommend at least a 3.1 system+AVR instead. I was never pleased with my Samsung Q800 soundbar, so I went back to regular speakers again and couldn't be happier.
r/LGOLED • I need suggestions with soundbars ->Q800 and Q990 are both the absolute best price/perf in their respective categories. Are they the best thing singe bread came sliced? No. Are they the best package you can buy in their price ranges? Absolutely.
r/Soundbars • Is the Samsung HW-Q990F/D/C that good or it's just a "Reddit" hype thing? ->go for jbl bar 800 or samsung q800/930, jbl have excellent bass while samsung have excellent clarity
r/Soundbars • Soundbar recommendations ->Q800D will suffice more than you need it have clear dialogue and crisp base as you requested, if prices are close get the F
r/Soundbars • Samsung vs Klipsch vs Polk vs TCL (maybe) thoughts ->Just got the 800D from Samsung. Coming from a Yamaha 3.1.2. Massive leap. I haven't tried watching a lot of my physical media as of yet, only a few but it's amazing so far. I'll probably want to get the 9500s satellites down the road but right now it's perfect for my setup.
