Our take on the Samsung HW-Q930C 9.1.4ch Wireless Dolby ATMOS Soundsystem (2023)
The HW-Q930C is Samsung's 2023 flagship-adjacent soundbar: a 9.1.4-channel system with a wireless subwoofer and two rear speakers that fire sound upward and to the sides for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. It sits just below the HW-Q990C, trading the Q990C's larger subwoofer and extra side drivers for a smaller, lighter setup that still delivers real height and surround effects. It suits movie watchers and console gamers who want object-based audio without a full AV receiver and speakers. Reviewers rate its room-filling output and wide feature set highly, though some find the subwoofer less forceful than the Q990C's and the app setup fiddly.
- True 9.1.4 channels with up-firing and side-firing drivers
- Wireless subwoofer and rear speakers keep cable runs short
- Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Samsung Q-Symphony support
- HDMI eARC plus 4K/120Hz and VRR passthrough for consoles
- SpaceFit Sound and Auto EQ tune output to the room

What reviewers say
Owners and reviewers describe the HW-Q930C as a big step up from TV speakers, with convincing overhead effects and strong surround for its size. Most praise the wireless rears and subwoofer and the gaming features; common complaints are a subwoofer that won't shake a large room and app-based setup that takes patience.
- Surround effectPraisedListeners say the rear and up-firing drivers create a wide bubble with noticeable overhead sound.
- BassMixedThe subwoofer adds punch, but owners of big rooms say it lacks the depth of Samsung's larger flagship sub.

Questions and answers
- How does the HW-Q930C differ from the HW-Q990C?
- The Q990C has a larger subwoofer and more side-firing drivers for wider output. The Q930C keeps the same 9.1.4 layout in a smaller, lighter package and costs less.
- Does it support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X?
- Yes. It decodes both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and up-firing drivers in the bar and rear speakers produce the height channels.
- Can I use it with a non-Samsung TV?
- Yes. Connect over HDMI eARC or optical. Q-Symphony and some sound modes only work with compatible Samsung TVs.
- Does it pass through 4K 120Hz for consoles?
- Yes. The HDMI inputs support 4K at 120Hz and VRR, so a PS5 or Xbox Series X can connect through the bar.
- Do the rear speakers need wires?
- They are wireless for audio but each rear speaker needs its own power outlet. The subwoofer also needs power.
- What is in the box?
- The soundbar, wireless subwoofer, two wireless rear speakers, remote, batteries, HDMI cable and wall-mount hardware.
