Today's best Samsung HW-Q990D soundbar Prime Day deal

Samsung's HW-Q990D is one of the very best Dolby Atmos soundbars you can buy, and right now you can buy it for just $999 at Best Buy – a $1,000 saving. And you get a lot of audio for your money: it's an 11.1.4-channel system with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, digital assistant integration and Samsung's Q-Symphony sound. At full price it deserved the full five stars; at this price you can add a sixth star to the rating. It's that good.

Our Samsung Q990D review couldn't be clearer: it was "the best Dolby Atmos soundbar, and now perfect for PS5 and Xbox Series X, too". We hailed it as the best Dolby Atmos soundbar on the market, with full and immersive spatial audio, great power and detail and good gaming features. Our only real niggle was the price, and this deal fixes that.

The Q990D manages to cram a total of 22 different speakers across its four separate components, and it's as good for music as it is for movie soundtracks. Bass is punchy and refined, trebles and mids are crystal clear and there's real subtlety to its sound whether you're streaming music or enjoying a blockbuster Blu-ray.

It's testament to just how good this Samsung is that a year after it launched, it's still at the very top of our best Atmos soundbars rankings at its everyday price. So this discount makes it quite the sonic steal.

The discount isn't quite as deep as the one on the Samsung, but this Nakamichi deal is still a good one: just under $625 off the usual price of this 1,300W, dual-sub system that'll have your neighbors waving flaming torches before you even turn it up halfway. It's a Dolby Atmos system with eARC, four satellites and a svelte main soundbar, and it's particularly good for action movies.
