This Samsung Dolby Atmos Soundbar Is Currently Almost 50% Off.
Flagship soundbars rarely come cheap, but Woot is now significantly slashing the price of a 2025 Samsung model. The Samsung HW-Q990F , a premium 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar, is on sale for $887.99. That’s nearly half off Samsung’s suggested retail price for new devices , and also the lowest price ever, according to price-tracking sites . The offer runs for the next three weeks (or while supplies last). Shipping is free for Prime members (otherwise $6) but is limited to the 48 contiguous US states.
The HW-Q990F is essentially an evolution of the older HW-Q990D , retaining the same dimensions but with some minor design changes and an updated subwoofer. Samsung has ditched the old closed-grill design in favor of a two-way subwoofer that leaves its eight-inch woofers visible, giving it a more modern look. Internally, it supports virtually every format—Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby TrueHD, and even Eclipsa Audio, a technology Samsung co-developed with other companies. While not yet widely available, it may appear in the future. In practice, this means movies sound cinematic, voices are clearly defined, and games benefit from directional effects. Thanks to four upward-firing speakers, the system also creates surprisingly convincing ceiling-bounce effects if your room is equipped for them.
This soundbar’s 11.1.4-channel configuration delivers a wide, spacious soundstage, and a set of rear speakers is included. The sound is clear and rich, with the ability to fine-tune the equalizer, voice level, and height adjustments to suit your setup. However, the subwoofer is reportedly slightly compressed at maximum volume, so deep bass loses some of its depth when cranking up the volume, but clarity should be maintained at normal levels. Connectivity options are also plentiful. It supports everything from HDMI 2.1 and eARC pass-through to optical, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Apple devices also have AirPlay 2 built-in, and Samsung TV owners get the added bonus of wireless Dolby Atmos without an HDMI cable on newer models.
At just under nine hundred dollars, this unit isn’t exactly budget-friendly, but compared to buying a traditional AV receiver and speaker system, it’s much easier to set up and is currently much cheaper than it used to be.
