You can snag Samsung’s 7.1.2-channel soundbar for just $750 today

The Samsung HW-Q850D 7.1.2 Soundbar.
Best Buy

Even the best TVs don’t really have the same sort of audio quality that you’d get from a stand-alone system that’s specifically made for it. That means that, if you’re looking for your next TV room upgrade, one of the best things you can do is get yourself something like Samsung’s HW-Q850D soundbar. The HW-Q850D is similar to the HW-Q990C, our pick for the best soundbar on the market, and it’s heavily discounted down to just $750 from $1,100 at Best Buy, which constitutes a substantial $350 discount. We don’t often see it discounted that steeply, so it’s absolutely worth grabbing now.

Why you should buy the Samsung HW-Q850D 7.1.2 channel wireless soundbar

For starters, one of the great things about the Samsung HW-Q850D is that it has a lot of additional speakers to hit the 7.1.2 channel, and that includes a couple of satellite speakers and a subwoofer. If you’re not familiar with various classifications of surround sound, you can check out our ultimate surround sound guide, but the long and short of it is that it has seven main speakers, a subwoofer, and up-firing speakers for a 3-dimensional effect. That gives you a pretty large coverage of space to really create a deep soundstage in the room, so it really feels like you’re surrounded by the audio that’s coming from whatever you’re watching or listening to.

Of course, this is a Samsung soundbar, so if you have a Samsung TV that has Q-Symphony, you can pair it with the soundbar to add an extra few channels, which is a nice little added feature. Another nice added feature is the SpaceFit Sound Pro tech, which automatically analyzes the sound of your room and calibrates it to be the best it can be. As for connectivity, the whole thing is wireless, so the only thing you need to worry about is a power outlet and not having to pull audio cables from the soundbar to the external speakers.

All in all, the Samsung HW-Q850D is easily one of the highest-end soundbars out there, and with the $350 discount from Best Buy, it should be an easy buy if you’re looking to take your audio to the next level. That said, if you still feel it may be a bit too pricey for you, then check out these other great soundbar deals as well.
