Thank you for your great review! I just bought this soundbar and it works great, even with a TV 12+ years old. Took me some time to get it right though, but with an alternative setup, I have Dolby Digital Plus for my TV and Netflix shows and Dolby Atmos for my PS5. Trick is to attach the TV receiver box from the provider (KPN in the Netherlands) to a HDMI switch and the PS5 as well to the same switch. The HDMI switch itself is connected to the HDMI (not the ARC port!) of the soundbar. And the soundbar is connected with the ARC port to the ARC port of the TV. All I have to do is to set the HDMI switch right (to tv/Netflix or the PS5). Reason for this specific setup is that the TV doesn't support passthrough of the received audio signal, and when I connected the TV receiver directly to the TV, it down processed the audio signal to stereo pcm. But with the alternative setup it works great! Of course, a new TV is better, but not viable for now.
@@TotallydubbedHD Any suggestion 1) samsung hw b650 with rear speakers at this price (dolby digital ) or samsung hw q700c(atom ) 2) lg sc9s or this samsung Q700c( 50 dollars extra for lg sound bar ). We cant add rear speaker option in samsung 700c soundbar in india
@@TotallydubbedHD In India we samsung have hw b670 560w sound bar with rear speaker price 28000. And samsung hw q700c price around 28500. 670 is dolby digital and Q700c is atom. Samsung not selling separate rear speaker in india. my question is 5.1 dolby digital or Q700c atom which one is best
419 on amazon but I opted for the q800c for 455 on amazon. Pounds uk that is. They seem to be undercutting all major retailers.. Maybe to shift stock for 2024 revisions.
@@GeordiLaForgery thanks buddy! I think it's a bit of a niche to have it wired (hardcore gamers or serious audiophiles), which this soundbar isn't aimed at either.
I noticed that the Q700C has a subwoofer with a power of 120W as opposed to the Q600C with a power of 160W interestingly enough, I see you reviewed both of these soundbars, did you notice any difference between the subwoofers?
@@TotallydubbedHD alright, I’m basically choosing between two costco models, Q60CC and Q7CB, which if i understand it correctly, they are Q600C and Q700B/C models respectively. For $40 more, I am thinking the Q7CB would be a better purchase.
Just bought 710c for 339€. You could do video what to do after installing soundbar. For example had to go turm on earc from setti ngs and put some setting to passthrough or auto (dont remember exactly what settings that was. And also had to check that anynet+ is on.
@@TotallydubbedHD You mean products own manual? That doesnt list that kind of things and regular people dont necessarily know they have to do those manually to get best experience
First of all, thanks for the review.I'm getting a very good offer on Q700C($180) in my local store. But I just want to know what I might miss if I go with 700C, apart from 2 side firing drivers in Q800C($470). Are they even close in terms of sound quality?
Glad you enjoyed the review. Given the price you're getting, you really can't go wrong with the 700C. Those side drivers will be missed but I wouldn't pay nearly 300 more for them.
Hej totallydubbedhd. Buy the new transformer, and use as your atmos demo. It has way better sound and atmos materiale then the old one. Have a Nice day😊
You mention putting a blue Ray in the bar. I'll have an xbox, and a sky TV box would I plug xbox / sky into TV or bar? Bar to TV via earc, but where would I plug the xbox n sky? To the bar? Or .
Just received yhis from Amazon at £350. I am shocked at the lack of width and soundstage. Good clarity in mids and top frequencies but boomy bass lacks tight punch. No point keeping this if it cannot deliver movement in soundstage or discerning left and right placement of sound. It's going back.
@@TotallydubbedHD yes... I will give it a few more days and I will try the app to see if there are any ways to enhance the soundstage. I just don't get that 'helicopter passing by' movement of sound.
@@TotallydubbedHD I'm just commenting on that as an example without atmos.....stereo separation is severely lacking......a car passing from left to right should present distinctive movement of stereo separation..... It does not excite. I think my review would say: Clear mids and upper frequencies. Boomy sub. Lacks soundstage. Annoying screen. Good value for money at 350.
I purchased this setup from Amazon for $499. I had high hopes, but modest expectations. Having set it up on a new Samsung 75” QN85C today and tested it extensively, I’m happy to report that my expectations were wildly exceeded. If this is what $499 sounds like, my goodness gracious, I’m here for it! Q-Symphony is real, friends! The voice enhancing feature is clutch, too, for those whose hearing isn’t what it once was.
Honestly? Because LG only work with people that they can pay lol. Ie. They buy their reviews or only send them to people who they know will give them positive reviews.
@@TotallydubbedHDso searched the whole internet and still couldn’t find the difference between 600c vs 700c and which one is better among them ? If the price difference is 50$ which one should someone get ?

Great Review, I have a LG TV - would you recommend this or DHT-S517?
Thanks! And yes would recommend over the Denon
excellent review. would you then suggest, the Q800C would be worth the bump in price as compared to the 700C or the 600C?

Yup, very likely! And good choice given the price differences there. 800c is a notable upgrade and should help better the soundstage presence.
Seems pretty good. I do wonder if the sub is wireless only or can we use it for other stuff someday with wired inputs?
Wireless only, can't be plugged in (most can't unfortunately)
@@TotallydubbedHD yeah feels like a waste also there's some use cases where customers don't want wireless. Great review as usual cheers.

The HK, then would get the sub at a later date.
Hi, Great review, Can you Please Tell me The Model Number For The Rear Speakers Thanks
Thanks! See the image or visit Samsung's website linked in the description for the exact model.

You will loose a lot. Mainly not a tight bass. Get Q800 series minimum. Anything below Q800 is useless
@ranadheercherukuri2192 Don't go below Q800 series. You will be very much disappointed.
Hej totallydubbedhd.
Buy the new transformer, and use as your atmos demo.
It has way better sound and atmos materiale then the old one. Have a Nice day😊
Thanks for sharing! Will look into it.
Hello! How much better does it sound than the Yamaha Yas-209?
Hard to quanitfy sound; but I'd pick this over the YAS 209.
@@TotallydubbedHDthanks! It seemed to me that yamaha plays music cleaner and more fully balanced. In other modes, Samsung is likely to be ahead.
@@Ascension-zs2no music demos over RUclips can be hard to access the actual quality.

Wherever you want, plug into the TV if you can.
I've got a Sonos beam gen2, sub mini and 2 x one gen2 rears. Should I keeps these to go with my new Samsung QLED or gen the Q700C system?
Keep the Sonos
Why this bro has only 50 k subs????
Haha!
Would you recommend the Q700 over the Sony s2000? Both are the same price at the moment here in the UK (£300), whereas the Q800 cost £499.
Not tried the Sony, but wouldn't ever recommend their products lol.
standalone bose soundbar 600 or the q700 which one would be better
