Looks good… but ya it's kinda pricey 😅

By the way may I know what's the length of Q990B rear speaker cable? I was told that it's very short and might need an extension if there's no socket nearby.

that has 1 subwoofer unit, and 2 satellite units.
defeats the purpose of having a "soundbar".

You want good sound experience or you want the simplicity of a sound bar. A personal choice.

Super short, because I mati mati wanted the cable the travel inside the pipe, so by the time it came out that's about the distance it can connect to my wall on the leftmost plug you see without over stretching the cabling.

I see. Then how did you place one of the rear speaker at the other side of the room?

Yes the cable is super short maybe 1.5m only
Sorry I didn't measure it just by looking at it

It's on the other side of my hall so I already had a plug there, else just drag one extension and cucuk there.

Yeps, +-1.5M length je kot. Many people complained online regarding the length and some bought their own 3rd party L cable from amazon.

Hi is anyone using Sonos ARC? Would like to know some feedbacks as I could not find much local reviews about it.

Thank you for sharing bossku. I'll have to bite the bullet and purchase the Samsung factory option in this case.

Got money just get it, uncles here talking cheaper local varieties.

As there are many sellers selling from Taobao in Lazada, some of the sellers might take a few days to even start packing for some reason, so I just canceled on the 4th-5th day of no activity, and switched to another seller. For the link I gave above, the seller was quite attentive and it arrived in 2 weeks by sea.

i bought normal speaker stands and stick it down with 3m tapes. wont fall. saw this on youtube

Hi guys looking for a good soundbar within the budget 3-5k, according to rtings and many reviewers i should go for Samsung Soundbars for best value for money.

Q990b should i go for it?

Looked at Q990B to pair with a recent flagship Samsung TV. From forum discussions I read, seems the back speakers drop from time to time. Could be software related issues not uncommon with Samsung.

This would be moving from a proper AVR setup to the simplicity of soundbars and wireless speakers. Close to pulling the trigger on Sonos for better options to add more speakers and better featured app. Noting that Sonos has its share of software problems.

At the current price Q990B is good value for money at less that half of other setups.

I just went for the Q990B and I'm loving it. It's a great price. Currently in the US it's going for $1500 USD. I bought mine from Harvey Norman at RM3,499 (asked them to price match with Shopee). Not sure if there are still stock lying around but you can call a few branches near you to ask. SenQ/Senheng has stock as far as I know, but not sure if they can price match with Shopee, worth a shot.

I have not encountered any of the rear speaker/subwoofer connection drop issues, thankfully. It would be ideal if you could place the rear speakers within line of sight of the soundbar. Not sure if your wifi router being close would affect it due to interference but it also goes without saying that you should have strong wifi connectivity from where your speakers are to avoid possible issues.

Play around with SpaceFit Sound/AutoEQ, and try the adaptive and surround sound modes to see which you like most. I'm currently using surround mode.

Amazing value for money considering that I was looking at the Sonos Arc and it would cost me RM11k+ to get a matching setup with a sub and rears! Insane price difference for similar/better (subjective) quality. Go for the Q990B and you won't regret it!

yes the Q990B is pretty good for its price. totally worth it. thats why its the top choice for many reviews. Atmos performance is also pretty impressive.

So guys, got myself the Samsung q990b and looking for Atmos sources to try out .. So far found the following
Amazon Prime...Jack Ryan season 3 and Rings of Power
Disney hotstar...Wakanda forever, Thor Love and Thunder, Strange World, Teluh Darah
Any other Atmos shows on these platforms?
Would there be better selection on Netflix?
What other sources are available?
Thanks

Wow…I didn't know that we can negotiate until that low price at Harvey Norman. How you did it?

Maverick, I like the starting part when the Darkstar went overhead over the admiral.

I gave a call to the branch nearest to me. They had 1 stock left. I told them, Shopee can find seller offering RM3,499. Preferred/Shopee Mall sellers so it's legit with reviews etc. The sales person on the phone said he'll check and called me back. Then he called me back saying they can price match but just one condition is that I can't do EZPay/CC instalment. I agreed, told them to hold the stock for me and went off to pick it up It was a win-win situation for me because the shop on Shopee was from Pahang and I didn't want to have it shipped or drive up there so I'm glad I managed to get the same price at a nearby Harvey Norman for a quick purchase.

I think depends on luck - different branch with different sales person/managers will react differently to this. They love to use the excuse that Shopee/online is different and they can only match other physical stores price but you must be firm, it is possible.
