Now, I tell with no remorse that I was outstandingly mistaken. The Samsung HW-Q800A is out of this world.
You might be wondering what is so impressive about this sound machine. The answer is extremely simple: it makes you truly enjoy and understand sound. I would like to make clear that is not that it sounds louder, it is just quality. Do you remember how television was before HD? That how I feel. The sound bar makes you enjoy HD audio, and the experience is so much better like when you first switched to and HD TV.
I did not like how tedious it was to connect the bar when connected via Bluetooth. Regardless, once you use the ARC to enable atmos sound it does become a beautiful thing.
I strongly recommended. Please do not settle just for TV.

We have also used it to mirror music from our Samsung device and it's great how easy it is to use. Of course, being able to use it with Alexa is another positive note. This soundbar is useful in so many ways. Watching movies provide surround sound with voice clarity that we can definitely notice. This has been a great addition to our movie nights!

The HW-Q800A provides a nice deep sound you expect from a system pitching the Atmos sound. The previous Soundbar we used, while good, still had a somewhat tinny sound for certain videos, but with the HW-Q800A that is no more.
One of the other nice features we have really enjoyed is the Alexa built into the speaker making it easy to start music playing on a whim.
We've definitely been happy with our purchase and has helped us transform our boring home theater into our own personal movie theater.

Ease of setup: 5 star - really, it's very easy.
Sound quality: this is where it shines. The sound is better, more detailed than other units twice the price. Low volume: it's nice and clear, good presence, and detailed. Then it stays that way at higher volume. The sub-woofer adds the low end without overpowering or muddying anything. What a big difference sound is much crisper and has a better true surround sound. Voices are clear when watching movies. Very easy to mount And one of the best, most user friendly remotes I have seen in a long time.

This unit coves with the ability to anchor to the wall, which is a very handy feature. Setup of the Soundbar is relatively smooth and straightforward. There is the option to use the HDMI ARC, and all of the sound settings can be found on the Samsung TV system audio menu. In this mode, it turns on and off with the TV, eliminating the need to constantly fuss with 2 remotes. Settings and controls can also be accessed on the SmartThings app for easier access and integration. It also has built in Bluetooth for ease of streaming from mobile devices, which is a huge plus. It sushi comes with Amazon Alexa built in with an impressive sensity to speach recognition range that I was not expecting.
