JBL cambiarse desde una q990f a Jbl 1300x mk2 vale la pena ?

0 Upvotes

Hola chicos vale la pena hacer el cambio ? La verdad es muy buena barra la Samsung pero me deja frío muchas veces en explosiones y escenas de acción y todo lo que le ido es que en bajo de la Jbl es extraordinario, no sé si en el global ganaré o perderé ? El punto bajo es que en mi país vale 1.600 dólares la Jbl :(

Saludos 🫂

Samsung Ordered Samsung Q990D for $800 received Q990H

7 Upvotes

So I decided it's finally time to update my audio setup for my LG CX OLED to celebrate getting a new job. I was previously using an old wired visio sound bar(I forget the model but it was under $300 new). I did a bunch of research and consensus seemed to be the Samsung Q990D is where it's at for a sub $1k sound bar setup, with people saying the sub on the newer q990f is a bit lacking.

I found a brand new q990d listing from a reputable seller on eBay for $800 shipped, but what showed up was a Q990H!

There is a lot less info on the q990h, but from what I'm reading the sub is a bit better vs the f and maybe not as loud as the D but much tighter and more controlled? Originally I was gonna return it when I saw the h on the box but tbh this thing sounds great and I feel like I got an incredible deal for $800 haha..

Any advice on settings? It will be used for both home theater (lots of trueHD 7.1 Atmos) as well as a decent amount of couch gaming on a fairly high end PC.

Are there any "must use" settings on the Q990H?

I'm working on a "Premium Sound Bar" video right now and based on all of the overwhelmingly positive reviews here on Reddit I have the purchased the Q990H to include in the video.

I preface this by saying it is one of the least expensive soundbars in the video, but it just kind of sounds "fine". Spatial effects are okay, vocals are mostly clear, bass is there but doesn't shake the room, and treble sounds more like what you would expect from full range drivers rather than dedicated high quality tweeters.

I've played around with SpaceFit Sound Pro and I think I prefer it "on" and I think I prefer Sound Elevation "off" which seems to create more separation.

For reference some of the other bars in the video include:

Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set
Bose Lifestyle Ultra (+ sub and surrounds)
Sony Bravia Trio (+ sub and surrounds)
Ultimea X100 (single sub version)
Nakamichi Dragon
Hisense HT Saturn (not a bar, but the "winner" from my last surround sound video).

Am I expecting too much from the Q990H to be able to best the systems above?

Switching from Bose ultra set up to Samsung Q990h

3 Upvotes

Background

Acquire s q900H for my gaming bedroom for my ps5 pro and LG G5 tv. This has been an unbelievable jump in my gaming experience. I did both at the same time. I had a basic 3.1 samsung sound bar and subwoofer on a C5 tv before and the effects were just normal. But boy oh boy this Q900h blew my mind. I cannot believe what gaming could have felt like with the level of dolby atmos effects. I have also tested some movies and my reaction has been the same. In my living room I also have a G5 tv but with a bose ultra sound bar, 500c bass module and small bose surrounds. I have always found the atmos to be completely missing and I am now going to upgrade to a q990h with the rears for my living room. What I like about the bose: the low frequency room pressurization from bose is unmistakable but the sound bar cannot compete with the Q bar in my view. I am no audio phile but I do have a good ear for consumer grade electronics. My living room is open plan and opens into my living room and I live in an apartment building. has anyone made this switch. I have gone back and forth watching the same movie scenes for eg F1 the movie on both set ups. Granted my Q900h is in a bedroom with no rears here are my observations. Q900h I use adaptive sound ( hated space fit pro as it turned everything off) and made minor adjustments to channels and sub woofer is at +1. I could not believe the vocals, audio, fly bye, pit stops and heavy bass on the q900h for F1. Everything felt so resolved included the smallest effects. All of this is amplified with gaming on it. I dont feel I am making the wrong decision. The bose is warmer but the vocals dont resolve the way the Qbar does and also there is basically no side effects and the Qbar is far more aggressive in terms of the fast leg to right transtions. You can tell the bose uses more DSP vs hardware to create their acoustics. I do feel the full q990h will sound louder, better and create more immersion. I don think it will have the room pressurisation that does bose excels at but it also hits harder and the bass is tighter for big impacts on the q900 sub. Sometimes it makes me jump. The Q990h sounds more excited and uses pure brute and I feel the bose wants to be more restrained and refined with less excitement. Anyone moved away from this bose set up like mine to a Sammy? let me know

Anyone knows any good tv speakers to go with the tcl QM9K 85 inches?

2 Upvotes

I’m moving to Florida from NY into a flat house that has a big open bright living room and I’m buying the TCL QM9K 85 inches and I want to fit a soundbar on my tv storage stand but the TV’s stand is right in the middle, covering where I would put a soundbar so a soundbar can’t happen. So I’m looking for TV speakers that’s as good as a soundbar (my budget is $1200-$1300). I was gonna go with the TCL Z100’s but I did my research and it isn’t good for big open concept rooms (you all know how big open concepts flat houses are in Florida). I’d put 2 speakers in front (left and right of tv) and an optional 2 in the back of my sectional (only if the front 2 speakers aren’t good enough then I’ll find a way to put 2 behind where we sit). I don’t want to wall mount the TV because it’s too much $$$ to do so plus I don’t have family members that are handy and can do it for me. I’m in the process of doing my research plus asking this question on here.

Liaison audio PS5 HW-Q935F

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung HW-Q935F soundbar, a PS5, and a Samsung QN900F TV.
My setup is:
PS5 → TV → soundbar via HDMI eARC
I had the well-known update issue with the soundbar, but Samsung replaced the Wi-Fi board and I blocked firmware updates afterwards.
However, I have an issue with Dolby Atmos over eARC.
I’m trying to play a 4K Blu-ray on my PS5 with a Dolby Atmos track.
My settings are:
PS5 Blu-ray player: Bitstream

PS5 audio output: AV Amplifier

Channels: 7.1

Audio format: Dolby Atmos

TV sound settings:
HDMI eARC: Enabled

Digital output audio format: Pass-through / Transfer

The problem: I get no sound at all. The soundbar only shows “eARC” on the display, but it never switches to Dolby Atmos.
If I disable eARC on the TV, Dolby Atmos works immediately on the soundbar.
Am I losing audio quality by using ARC instead of eARC?
Is there a specific setting I’m missing, or is this a known compatibility issue between the QN900F and HW-Q935F?
Thanks for your help!

Those of you who have moved on from your AVR system to a premium soundbar like a Q990 or Arc Ultra, do you miss your old system and the wide front soundstage or just the fullness of sound?

Have you moved back? What system did you come from?

Samsung Samsung Spacefit Pro?

3 Upvotes

Should I enable this option when I manually adjust my soundbar settings, such as Center -2, Front -2, Side -2, Subwoofer +1, with Adaptive mode enabled and everything else set flat?

Or would it be better to leave all settings at their default values, set Surround to Adaptive, and enable SpaceFit Pro?

Another question: My mom vacuums the living room every weekend using a loud vacuum cleaner. Will that affect or confuse (“haywire”) the SpaceFit Pro calibration?
