Deal | Samsung's exceptional HW-Q990D soundbar just hit a new all-time low price
The Samsung HW-Q990D may no longer be the crown jewel of Samsung’s Q-series, having conceded that place to the new HW-Q990F, but it’s still regarded as one of the best Dolby Atmos soundbars money can buy. As with most premium audio products, the HW-Q990D isn’t cheap, usually fetching $1,500 or more at most retailers. Luckily, Woot has them on sale for a whopping 55% off right now.
That brings the price of this superb sound system down to $899 from $1,999. This is the lowest price we’ve spotted for the HW-Q990D and beats its previous all-time low of $948 we saw last month. And unlike last time, you won't have to compromise on the warranty period either, with Woot offering a 1-year vendor-backed warranty. The HW-Q990D was already a great value at $948, but at $899, it’s a total steal for anyone looking for a top-notch sound system that not only delivers incredibly immersive sound but is also easy to set up.
The Samsung HW-Q990D is a four-piece system that ships with a main soundbar, a subwoofer, and two rear speakers. The 11.1.4-channel setup consists of seven front-firing channels, four height channels, four side-firing channels, and one dedicated subwoofer channel. With select Samsung TVs, you can even use the TV’s built-in speakers in concert with the soundbar via Samsung Q-Symphony. As you might expect from a premium system, you get lots of inputs and support for a wide range of audio formats, including Dolby Atmos, Wireless Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Dolby Digital Plus. Dual HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K @ 120Hz pass-through let you connect a modern gaming console or Blu-ray player directly to the soundbar. Add in eARC, an optical digital audio input, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, and built-in support for Alexa, Chromecast, AirPlay, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Hi-Fi Connect, and you’ve got a soundbar that should take care of most, if not all, of your streaming needs.
How does it compare to the 2025 HW-Q990F?
The HW-Q990F is identical to the HW-Q990D except for one big change: it comes with a redesigned subwoofer that's roughly half the size of its predecessor. The new model also adds support for Eclipsa Audio, a 3D audio format Samsung co-developed with Google. Most reviews agree that there's practically no difference between these soundbars in terms of tuning and overall performance. Our advice is simple: just go for the one that’s on sale and you should be good.
