Our Samsung Q990D review couldn’t be clearer: it was “the best Dolby Atmos soundbar, and now perfect for PS5 and Xbox Series X, too”. We hailed it as the best Dolby Atmos soundbar on the market, with full and immersive spatial audio, great power and detail and good gaming features. Our only real niggle was the price, and this deal fixes that.

The Q990D manages to cram a total of 22 different speakers across its four separate components, and it’s as good for music as it is for movie soundtracks. Bass is punchy and refined, trebles and mids are crystal clear and there’s real subtlety to its sound whether you’re streaming music or enjoying a blockbuster Blu-ray.

It’s testament to just how good this Samsung is that a year after it launched, it’s still at the very top of our best Atmos soundbars rankings at its everyday price. So this discount makes it quite the sonic steal.
