Think twice about purchasing this one!

Tom from Rosebud, TX on 5/13/2025

Purchased the Samsung HW-Q800D along with a new Sony 65" OLED TV. While the Sony is absolutely fantastic, this sound bar is anything but. I've tried every setting over and over, tried different positions but it just sounds shallow and almost 'tinny'. In fact, the speakers built into the TV sound better. I had a ten-year-old much cheaper Samsung that actually sounded much better! Wife said I wasted my money, and I have to agree. Thought seriously about returning it within the allotted time allowed for returns but boxing this thing back up was more of a challenge than I was up to. Can't knock Crutchfield, they always are outstanding, but I would highly discourage purchasing this sound bar!

Pros: Subwoofer is good.

Cons: Most everything.

Disappointed

Robert from Murrells Inlet, SC on 3/10/2025

This is replacing a Bose 321 sound system purchased in 2010 that was dying a slow death. No comparison. This unit doesn't compare favorably with the old Bose system and I've tried every adjustment without success. Are the higher priced soundbars noticeably better?

Cons: Muddled sound.

Great replacement

Arnold from Lowell, MA on 9/15/2024

Verified customer

It was very easy to hook up. I was replacing the Q800A which was giving me problems. Sounds better. No problem transferring the rear speakers to the new one. My tv doesn't support Atmos so I go through my PlayStation to get it and it sounds great.

Pros: Easy Setup

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
