Samsung's best ever Dolby Atmos 11.1.4 soundbar, the new 990H, is already an insane deal

PC hardware recently has seen some great deals. For example, Corsair is selling a Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB dual memory kit for only $270 making it an amazing purchase at this time. If you want it, get it while the deal lasts, as the stock ran out once previously.

Meanwhile, if you"re into audio gear and want a flagship-level premium soundbar, Samsung"s brand new HW-Q990H is an unbelievably good deal at the moment since it is on sale with a 35% discount over MSRP (purchase link under the specs table down below).

In terms of hardware features, the new Q990H does not really have too many differences from the previous Q990F. So you essentially still get the same reliable gear. Software is where the upgrade is as the new model bakes in more AI-powered improvements.

So like the Q990F, the Q990H is also an 11.1.4 system, and the single subwoofer unit on it houses two opposite-facing 8-inch subwoofer drivers. Thus, together they move around the same amount of air as a single 12-inch subwoofer unit.

In addition to increasing the bass by +3 dB thanks to that additional driver unit, dual opposing drivers are also said to help reduce vibrations of the subwoofer cabinet by cancelling out the resonance. Samsung also says that the bass is "AI-optimized," but we are not sure if it actually helps or if it"s just a buzz term here.

Aside from the bass, which is said to be AI-driven this time, dialogue in movies is the second most important thing, and Samsung claims great vocal clarity from its front speakers thanks to the AVA (Active Voice Amplifier) Pro feature that is said to detect noise disturbances and amplify dialogue to make it more audible over such surrounding noises.
