Samsung HW-Q990H 11.1.4ch Soundbar System vs Samsung HW-Q900F Soundbar

The Q990HZC is the bigger, more complete system: 11.1.4 channels, a dual 8-inch subwoofer and two wireless up-firing rear speakers in the box. The Q900F is a 7.1.2 bar with a subwoofer and no rear speakers, so it gives height and width but not true sound behind you. Buy the Q990HZC if you want a full surround setup for movies; buy the Q900F if you want a strong single-bar upgrade with less clutter. Owners rate the Q900F highly, but the Q990HZC's included rears and larger subwoofer make it the more capable theater system.

• Choose the Samsung HW-Q990HZC if you want a complete 11.1.4 setup with wireless rear up-firing speakers and a dual 8-inch subwoofer for real overhead and behind-you sound.
• Choose the Samsung HW-Q900F if you want a slim 7.1.2 bar with a subwoofer, room calibration and voice control, and you would rather not place rear speakers.
