The Q930B sounds far more powerful and immersive than you’ve any right to expect for its cost. Value for money: The Q930B is not as powerful, impactful, fully rounded or capable of filling really big rooms as Samsung’s Q990B flagship soundbar, but we'd say the compromises are pretty easy to swallow in return for saving $600 / £750.

Bass is a little less refined and non-directional though, and as with all of Samsung’s high-end soundbars, the Q930B’s movie mastery doesn’t cross over to music. In fact, no similarly priced soundbar rival we’ve heard to date combines such a fulsome surround sound experience with so much raw power. Not least because including good-quality rears means its sound is now truly immersive, rather than being locked to the front of your room. Performance: The Q930B’s sound is in a different class to that of its two-piece Samsung predecessors. (You can, after all, hide it behind a sofa or under a side board without damaging its sound.) The subwoofer isn’t particularly pretty, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s reasonably compact, and it provides a helpful LED readout on its front edge. In fact, it delivers an eye-catching 9.1.4 channel count that’s only two channels down on the Q990B’s class-leading 11.1.4 configuration, making it the best Dolby Atmos soundbar for its price.įeatures: The HW-Q930B ticks most soundbar feature boxes, including HDMI passthrough with support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+ HDR, and playback of the Dolby Atmos and DTS:X sound formats that represent the best of the film and music worlds.ĭesign: The main soundbar tucks nine channels of sound into its crisp form. Despite being around half the price of Samsung’s 2022 flagship the HW-Q990B ( more on that here) the HW-Q930B comprises four components: the main soundbar, a subwoofer, and two rear speakers. The Samsung HW-Q930B is a big change for the company's approach to Dolby Atmos soundbars.

We've tested many soundbars and speaker systems over the years so we're here to help you work out which options are worth your time, whether you want to create the ultimate home theater system of your dreams or simply want the best soundbar under $200/£200 to improve the sound of your TV and make speech clearer.ĭecember end-of-year sales present an opportunity to find a great deal on soundbars at all price levels.
