Samsung HW-Q990F and HW-QS700F Just Dropped in India—And They’re Not Messing Around
Let’s Talk Wallet Pain
Brace yourself. The HW-Q990F? That’ll have you coughing up ₹92,990. Ouch, I know. That’s serious money, but if you’re an audio freak who needs to hear every footstep in the movie, honestly, you’ll probably love it. The HW-QS700F is a little more forgiving at ₹35,990—not exactly pocket change, but way friendlier if you want a killer setup without rearranging your whole room. Both are available basically everywhere—online, offline, wherever you hunt for gadgets. Got commitment issues? There’s also cheaper stuff in the new Q-series starting at ₹14,990, so you won’t have to sell a kidney.Convertible Fit Design—Wait, What?
Yeah, “Convertible Fit Design” sounds like something you’d find on a Transformer, but it’s just Samsung-speak for “put it anywhere.” Under the TV, next to your monitor, or even up on the wall—it doesn’t matter; it’ll work. There’s a gyro sensor in there, too, so the bar actually knows how it’s sitting and cranks out the right sound for the setup. It’s kind of wild.Subwoofer—Small But Savage
Samsung managed to cram a 6.5-inch wireless subwoofer into a box that’s, like, half the size of the old ones (well, 58% smaller, if you love numbers). Don’t let the compact look fool you, though—this thing still punches hard. Explosions, car chases, bass drops—you’ll feel them in your bones. Perfect if you’re into the minimalist vibe but still want the room to shake.AI Sound and Dynamic Bass—Just Let It Do Its Thing
Nobody’s got time to fiddle with remotes all night. The AI built into these bars basically plays DJ for you—switches up the sound depending on what you’re watching or listening to. Movie night? It goes all cinematic. Podcast? Voices get clearer. Playing music? It’ll pump the bass and treble so you might actually forget you’re not at a club.Active Voice Amplifier Pro—No More “Huh? What Did He Say?”
Ever rewatch a scene three times because the music drowns out the dialogue? Yeah, we’ve all been there. AVA Pro fixes that—pumps up the voices so you don’t miss the plot twist or the punchline, even if the AC is roaring in the background. Seriously, a lifesaver for action flicks or when you’re watching with subtitles off.Q-Symphony Pro & Wireless Dolby Atmos—No More Cable Nonsense
If you’ve got a recent Samsung TV, Q-Symphony Pro lets your TV and soundbar actually work together, instead of fighting for control. Both blast sounds at once, so you’re basically swimming in audio. And with Wireless Dolby Atmos, you can finally kick those ugly HDMI cables to the curb and still get that sweet, sweet surround sound.
Channel Throwdown: HW-Q990F vs HW-QS700F

- HW-QS700F: 3.1.2 channels. Still solid, just a bit more chill, made for smaller rooms or apartments. You still get those cool overhead effects, just not as crazy.
