Product Overview

HW-Q900A is a premium 7.1.2-channel soundbar with wireless subwoofer in Samsung's 2021 Q-series. It is a successor to the HW-Q900T from 2020, adding primarily compatibility with the new SWA-9500S wireless rear speakers.
Compared to the HW-Q800A, which is a 3.1.2-channel soundbar for 2021, the HW-Q900A shares the same wireless subwoofer, but its main soundbar unit is significantly more sophisticated: The number of drivers is doubled from 8 to 16, adding virtual surround channels and virtual side channels that together deliver a virtual 7.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos experience.
The upgrade from the HW-Q900T mainly concerns the new wireless rear speakers that now have up-firing Dolby Atmos channels of their own, too
For those with plans for rear channels, however, Samsung also markets the HW-Q950A for 2021 that comes with wireless rear speakers.

Reviewers from rtings have found:
The Samsung HW-Q900A soundbar is excellent for dialogue-centric content like TV shows. Thanks to its discrete center channel, voices are accurately localized to a pinpoint location within the sound image. Its balanced mid-range can reproduce dialogue clearly and accurately. There's even an Active Voice Amplifier feature and a Voice Enhancement feature that can make voices sound more clear and crisp.
Pros
  • Bass and treble adjustments
  • Supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Apple AirPlay 2
  • Graphic EQ and presets
Cons
  • Doesn't support Chromecast built-in
  • Lacks some low-bass
