Our Verdict

Samsung HW-Q800A

Samsung HW-Q930B

The Samsung HW-Q930B is better than the Samsung HW-Q800A. The Q930B is a 9.1.4 setup that comes with discrete satellites, unlike the 3.1.2 Q800A. As a result, it has a better performance with surround sound. Its Atmos performance is better, too, and there are also more sound enhancement features on hand, including room correction.
