During that trip, Samsung's Vice President and Head of Audio Lab, Allan Devantier, confirmed that a prototype Q990 soundbar, which was shown off, will feature technology that will likely trickle into Samsung's 2026 soundbar range. That value proposition alone is enough for me to recommend this soundbar system, as we deemed its performance worthy of a five-star review at its launch price. Putting it bluntly, the HW-Q990F is an excellent soundbar system that is certain to impress, and it's heavily discounted right now. Samsung's next soundbar system could (and likely will) be better again, but it's probably not due to hit shelves for at least another six months, so you'll be waiting quite some time.
