Our Verdict

Samsung HW-Q950A

Samsung HW-Q990B

The Samsung HW-Q990B is the next generation of the Samsung HW-Q950A, and it's a better bar overall. They're both 11.1.4 setups, but the Q990B packs more punch in the bass range right out of the box. It has an improved design, too, with metal grilles that feel more solid than the 950A's fabric sides. Its redesigned satellites add a lot to the sound, especially if you watch a lot of movies. It gives a more immersive listening experience overall.
