Our Verdict

Samsung HW-Q80R

Samsung HW-Q900A

The Samsung HW-Q900A is marginally better for mixed usage than the Samsung HW-Q80R. The HW-Q900A offers a better surround performance, and it comes with more sound enhancement features like auto-volume and room correction. It also has built-in voice assistant support, and it supports Apple AirPlay 2. However, the HW-Q80R is better-built.
