"The Samsung HW-Q990F is the system to get if you want everything you need for an immersive surround sound setup right out of the box. The package includes the main soundbar, featuring 15 drivers, two wireless rear speakers with three drivers each, and a subwoofer equipped with dual 8-inch drivers. That adds up to a true 11.1.4 channel configuration, which is about as immersive as soundbar systems get."
"What makes this system particularly impressive is that the rear speakers feature up-firing drivers for height effects, rather than solely forward- and side-firing elements. That helps make Dolby Atmos content sound genuinely enveloping. The immersion is excellent, and you don't have to buy anything extra to get the full experience. In my experience, I found the level of immersion to be among the highest among soundbar-based systems."
"If you already own a Samsung TV, the HW-Q990F offers native features you won't find elsewhere. The soundbar can work with your TV's built-in speakers to enhance dialog clarity through Samsung's Q-Symphony"
The Samsung HW-Q990F is Samsung's 2025 flagship offering a full 11.1.4 channel setup with a main soundbar, two wireless rear speakers, and a dual 8-inch-driver subwoofer. The rear speakers include up-firing drivers for height effects, improving Dolby Atmos immersion without additional purchases. The Sonos Arc Ultra functions as a standalone soundbar that integrates into the Sonos ecosystem and can be expanded later with additional Sonos speakers and a subwoofer. The HW-Q990F provides native Samsung-TV features such as Q-Symphony to pair with built-in TV speakers and enhance dialog clarity. The two systems target buyers with different priorities.
