Q600C 3.1.2ch Q Series Soundbar Speaker (2023) - Dolby Atmos & Virtual DTS:X Audio With 9 In Built Speakers, 6.5" Wireless Subwoofer, Adaptive & Gaming Sound And Bluetooth Connectivity

The Samsung Q600C Soundbar is a fantastic entry level option that delivers impressive sound quality at an affordable price. Whether you’re upgrading your TV audio, enjoy hi-fi sound, or simply want a powerful Bluetooth speaker, the Q600C is more than capable of exceeding expectations. Straight out of the box, setup is quick and simple. You can connect it to your TV via HDMI for the best experience or pair it easily with your phone using Bluetooth. The subwoofer does need to be plugged into power separately, but it connects wirelessly to the soundbar itself, and it makes a huge difference. The bass is powerful and room filling, you can genuinely feel the rumble. The design is sleek and modern, without being bulky or intrusive. It looks clean under a TV and fits nicely on a stand, or you can wall mount it (mounts are included, though you’ll need your own tools). It offers several sound modes, including Standard, Surround, and Game Mode. Which one you prefer will depend on what you’re watching or playing, so it’s worth trying them all out. The remote is straightforward and easy to use, and there are also physical controls on the soundbar for volume and Bluetooth. One thing to note is that it doesn’t connect to WiFi or the Samsung app, so features are more straightforward. However, if that’s not important to you, this soundbar offers excellent value for money. Overall, the Q600C is a brilliant addition to any setup and a great choice if you want deep, punchy bass and immersive surround sound without spending a fortune.

A couple of years ago, having bought a new Samsung TV, we bought an earlier version of this soundbar. It was a disaster. Never worked properly then failed completely. Took a long time to get a refund etc etc. So we went back to our old faithful Onkyo AV receiver. Two years on, the Onkyo, which must be well over 20 years old, finally failed so we were looking for a soundbar again. After a lot of research this Q600C looked the best option. Did everything we needed, fitted our TV unit, and was compatible with our Samsung TV, giving the bonus of Q Symphony, where the system mixes sound from the TV speakers and the soundbar. This really does make a difference. I'd note that wireless rear speakers are available separately should you want proper surround sound. The soundbar was extremely easy to set up, almost everything happening automatically. We went for a wired HDMI connection between the soundbar and the TV to get the benefit of HDMI ARC although you can set it up to work wirelessly via bluetooth should you prefer. The subwoofer connection is wireless, giving you maximum flexibility in positioning it. The soundbar also works as a bluetooth speaker, allowing 2 smart phones to be linked, and switching between functions is easy. My only slight criticism is that the subwoofer lacks real heavy bass punch. It's still light years better than the TV speakers but, compared to, say, the Onkyo it replaced, the bass is not that powerful. If the Onkyo was cranked right up the floor vibrated; not with the Samsung (which I note is about half the weight)! At the price we paid on Amazon, which is £200 less than we could have bought it for locally at the time, this soundbar is a very good buy.

Good item, an improvement on the TV. Love the bass with music or a suspense film, its a better experience. Would go higher range if you want cinema level quality though, ive yet to feel like im in the cinema.

Our living room is about 4.5m x 3.8m and all in plaster or stone. We have a Samsung 55" OLED, so I wanted to stay in the family. At the time of purchase, October 2023, this was a £600 system, which I didn't want to pay. It went on sale for £253 and I snapped it up. This room is far too small and there are far too few plug sockets to handle a 5.1, 7.1 or 9.1 system. (Anyone who lives in a 130-year-old house like we do understand.) This is a good happy medium for us. Online tech reviews gave it high marks (even for 600 quid) while criticising the Dolby Atmos. In a room this small, with stone walls to bounce the sound around, we think it works great. Movies, especially modern-day action ones with lots of sound design sound three dimensional. The Q Symphony sound is wonderful. Another criticism by the online tech writers said it doesn't handle music well. I am playing a CD on my Panasonic UHD player and it sounds full. I am listening to a symphonic score (the 50th anniversary remastering of Live and Let Die) and, to me, it is fine. I am older, so this is all golly-gee-whiz stuff to me. I grew up with 240i and no stereo. To me, this sounds like a cinema and we are immensely happy with it. Set-up is a breeze, especially because we have a Samsung TV. I have had no issues pairing my phone or tablet to the soundbar for when I want to listen to a podcast or audiobook. You do need good HDMI 2.1 cables (be sure to look up the specs). Good price, good system. If you have a larger room and more places to plug in speakers, then go with a bigger system, but for our little parlour, this is perfect and far better than the telly speakers.

Brilliant soundbar - great value for money. Highly recommended.

I'm going to give this 5 star, I am not an audiophile but I do know a nice sound when I hear it and this soundbar ticks all the boxes. I especially like the voice enhancement for movies which is actually one of the main reasons I bought this model. Its very easy to set up and connect. I read that the bass was lacking for some reviewers, that's certainly not my experience, it has more oomph than I will ever need, I find myself turning it down more often than not. Apparently this model is entry level but I honestly cannot see myself ever wanting to upgrade. I researched a lot of models and ultimately settled on this for many factors, not least the price, I bought for £219 which is much less than half the price it was 18 months ago. Its uncomplicated, not overblown with too many bells and whistles. To summarise, I am a 100% happy customer

Non wifi but connects easily with Samsung TV and immersive sound

Sound is amazing. Although it is much better after I added the surrounds sound speaker it complements the whole Cinema 5.1.2 and you can feel the cinematic effect.. overall it is a decent low cost/ affordable samsung soundbar. It does what it says on the tin. It is very well made and very good for Dolby atmos content and not bad for music.. lack a bit of treble and could do a bit more bass but for what it is it can get really loud. Beautiful clear vocals and sound and mid range etc.. settings and remote are good, connectivity is great and fite nicely under my Tv at 50". I would recommend this soundbar as for me it is an exceptional piece which has satisfied my expectation and revive my home Cinema setup to enjoy the latest dolby format, Dtsx/Dolby atmos.
