This soundbar was replaced by the Samsung HW-Q900A

The Samsung HW-Q900T soundbar is a premium-looking 7.1.2 setup with a dedicated subwoofer. It has a very neutral default sound profile, a wide and focused soundstage, and many sound customization and connectivity options. The manufacturer advertises that Alexa voice assistant is built into the bar, but we don't test for this. It also supports surround and Dolby Atmos content, though it lacks satellite speakers so it doesn't provide the most immersive listening experience. On the upside, it can get loud, and its versatile overall performance should please many different listeners.

Our Verdict

7.9 Mixed Usage

The Samsung HW-Q900T soundbar is very good for mixed usage. This 7.1.2 setup has a dedicated center channel that makes it ideal for reproducing dialogue-heavy content like TV shows clearly and accurately. Its well-balanced default sound profile is suitable for many different types of music genres and audio content. While it supports surround and Atmos content, it doesn't have dedicated surround speakers, so its sound isn't the most immersive. On the upside, it has many sound customization features.

Pros
  • Dedicated center channel.
  • Graphic EQ and presets.
  • Well-balanced sound profile.
Cons
  • Poor surrounds and height performances.
8.1 Dialogue/TV Shows

The Samsung HW-Q900T soundbar is impressive for dialogue and TV shows. Thanks to its 7.1.2 setup, it has a dedicated center channel that makes dialogue-heavy content clear and accurate. Its default sound profile is very well-balanced, especially in the mid-range, which is ideal for accurately reproducing voices. If you want dialogue to sound more clear and crisp, there's even a dialogue enhancement feature available. It can also get loud, and you can stream podcasts to the bar wirelessly via a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection.

Pros
  • Dialogue enhancement feature.
  • Dedicated center channel.
  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi compatible.
Cons
  • No auto-volume mode.
8.0 Music

The Samsung HW-Q900T soundbar is great for music. It has a very neutral, well-balanced default sound profile, so it's suitable for listening to a wide range of music genres. It has a dedicated subwoofer, which helps reproduce a deep, extended bass that can please fans of bass-heavy genres like EDM. If you prefer a different sound, there's a graphic EQ and presets available in the Samsung SmartThings app.

Pros
  • Graphic EQ and presets.
  • Well-balanced sound profile.
Cons
  • No room correction feature.
7.7 Movies

The Samsung HW-Q900T soundbar is good for movies. Its neutral sound profile is suitable for lots of different audio content, and its extended bass helps reproduce the deep thumps and rumbles from explosions and other action-packed scenes. The bar can get loud, too. Unfortunately, while it supports surround and Atmos content, it doesn't provide the most immersive listening experience.

Pros
  • Well-balanced sound profile.
  • Supports Atmos and DTS content.
Cons
  • Poor surrounds and height performances.
  • 7.9 Mixed Usage

Style - Bar

The Samsung HW-Q900T is a sleek-looking soundbar that looks like the Samsung HW-Q950T. The front and top of the bar are covered in a tightly-wrapped fabric, and the rest of the bar is made of plastic. The sides of the bar are slightly angled with vent-like openings for the side surround speakers. Unfortunately, the display screen is located on top of the bar, so you can't read it from your couch.

If you like to customize the sound, there's a graphic EQ and four preset modes ('Standard', 'Surround', 'Game Pro', 'Adaptive Sound') available.

There are four in-app EQ graph modes: 'None', 'Pop', 'Jazz', and 'Classic' to help you find your preferred sound. If you have a Samsung QLED TV, you can also sync it to the TV for a more immersive sound using the Q Symphony feature, although we don't test for this.
