Samsung HW-Q800F The price of the soundbar has dropped to $749.99 at Amazon, which is more than 30% off its $1,100 list price, and it’s the lowest price it’s ever been on Amazon, according to price tracker. In terms of features and specs, it sits just below Samsung’s flagship Q990F, offering a 5.1.2-channel setup with Dolby Atmos, but without the extra rear speakers found on higher-end systems. For a lot of living rooms, this means placing fewer components and wiring, while still aiming for more immersive sound than a basic soundbar.
Q800F Designed with movies and TV in mind, the included subwoofer delivers deep, powerful bass that adds weight to action scenes without requiring much tweaking. Dialogue will sound clearer than most TVs, thanks to the dedicated center channel, which helps voices stay at the forefront even during busy scenes. It also handles connectivity well: there’s HDMI passthrough for 4K at 60Hz with HDR and Dolby Vision, along with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, AirPlay, and Spotify Connect. If you’re using a recent Samsung TV, Q-Symphony lets the TV speakers and soundbar work together, and wireless Dolby Atmos is an option, allowing you to skip the extra cable. Alexa offers built-in voice control, although setting up the Google Assistant requires a few additional steps through Samsung’s app.
What do you think so far?
On the other hand, it may not be a substitute for a state-of-the-art gaming setup, as the soundbar lacks HDMI 2.1 features like variable refresh rate. Also, while the Atmos effect is present, it doesn’t completely surround you in the same way that systems with rear speakers can. The bass can also seem a little heavy at times, and some midrange details, particularly in dialogue, can feel less full depending on the content. Still, if you want a clean setup that avoids multiple speakers around the room, Q800F Creates a practical balance.
