This sound bar was an upgrade to a 3.1.2 system I had which was good, but this one is way better. If you can get the rear speakers to go with it, I highly recommend that you get them & you will have a fabulous 7.1.4 system on your hands. I feel like the sub has a lot more kick too. You have to download the Smart Things app so you can update the firmware & it will unlock all types of settings for you to access. You can give the bass a boost, amplify dialogue, set the different frequencies (standard mode only), different sound modes, etc. There are some helpful YouTube videos to help set it up so you can get the new experience. A lot of people give this sound bar bad reviews like it’s not worth the money, but I attribute this to not fully understanding how to work the sound bar. It has to be tweaked to make it sound how you want it to. Completely all the necessary steps to get it up & running & you will be blown away like I was. Buy it. You’ll love it!

Paired this with my Samsung S89c with Q-Symphony and I am very pleased. Deep strong bass from the wireless sub, and extremely crisp and clear mid/highs from the soundbar, which is appropriately wide enough to support this sized tv. No Wires to deal with, and fantastic "Immersive" sound for a room no larger than 500sq ft. The surround is decent, but if you are looking for the best, then upgrade to the rear speaker model. (7.1 - 11.1) Fantastic overall buy for the price!

This review is for the Q800C without rear surround speakers. Used with Apple TV and remote. Installation is easy, but you’ll find the on-line manual very helpful in understanding how the soundbar remote works to set the relative volumes of top, center, and side speakers; and also choose modes. The Apple remote will take over on/off, overall volume, and selection of streaming apps. Stereo effect is detectable, not striking. Atmos is nonexistent (for 12’ ceiling and vegas). Bass is excellent. Voice is good, not great. Plenty of volume. There are myriad adjustments, including an equalizer using the SmartThings app, but those by the soundbar remote are the most significant. The soundbar in my installation is really a 3.1 system, and for many-channel sources cannot compare with my 5.1 system with 5 separate speakers and a sub. Maybe adding the rear surround speakers would change that? Overall I am happy with this soundbar - I was not expecting more.
