I would be interested to know this too. Is the sound better in the C?
That explains the "cheap" launch price
I wouldnt call $2099 cheap. (Jb hifi price) the onky reason it is cheap is because it is through good guys comercial
My 990b has constant dropouts with Sony tvs. Hopefully they’ve fixed the issue with this 2023 model.
While using it? My Sony tv does occasionally not sync when turned on. I do have to turn the soundbar off and on every few weeks. Also lip sync is occasionally bad and needs a power cycle to resolve
It's likely more of a Sony problem - I've never had a good ARC experience with my Sony TVs
What happens if you connect some other source directly to the soundbar?
Still loving my 930b I got for under $700 during black friday.
Great price. Good work! I think the 930b is the sweet spot for value for money. I'd dearly love the 990b but i don't think the difference is all that noticeable and I'd rather save the $$$.
I think it has been cheaper?
Not for the C series
Just curious on q990b price if someone can check pls
It's On clearance and the same price with delivery only.
Thanks, waiting for less than 1k on q990b, now that c model is out hope to score bargain on b model
The q990b and q930b are $1 cheaper than the c models.
Thanks
Apparently the B models suffer from rear speaker and wireless sub drop outs, especially left ones based on YouTube comments.
Can anyone who has this confirm please?
Has mine for over a month now. Seems to be ok and I use it 990b all the time
Had my Q990B for almost 12 months and never experienced the issues you've mentioned.
I've had some other issues that I never experienced when using my old speakers over optical, but I put them down to my TV, for example:
TV reverting back to internal speaker instead of using eARC
Audio sync issues (for example, when watching a recorded program on foxtel and I fast-forward/rewind, the audio goes out of sync and I have to close the recording and re-open it). I think this could be a HDCP issue with the TV/foxtel box, but I'm not sure….
Had mine for a while now. No issues at all. I'm wondering if users who are affected have some weird interference in their area.
I've had the q990b for a few months now, connected instantly and flawlessly ever since i first switched it on. Ive seen some issues are related to wifi routers etc so if possible dont have your router set up right next to the soundbar. I have a wifi6 router in a seperate but adjacent room, and im only usung that frequency, not 2.4ghz. So that might be the issue alot of people are having.
Had mine for nearly 12 months and no drop outs
Another 990B owner here with no issues, and one of my mesh routers sits right next to it.
Can confirm left rear speaker disconnects sometimes. I believe its something to do with 5Ghz wifi because when I set my router to 2.4Ghz, the speakers works fine but on 5 Ghz it disconnects after 2-3 weeks, most of the time it just takes 20 seconds to sync it manually.
The sound bar sounds great and I got it for an excellent price in Dec 2022 so just have to accept these annoying issues.
Thanks everyone. Some sources of these issues:

There are plenty more, one even from Samsung members that has been archived.
I’d seen a lot of these before I bought mine 6 months ago but never had an issue. Just plugged it in it connected up itself. Never had to touch them again.
I doubt it’s common. Id guess that some people have interference from neighbours systems, other devices or microwaves.Id guess that some people have interference from neighbours systems, other devices or microwaves.
For me its something to do with 5 Ghz, the left rear speaker disconnects occasionally.
your micro wave oven probably interferences with the 2.4G band .
I'd purchase the HW-Q990C but I don't have a TGGC account, has anyone negotiated TGGC prices instore at TGG?
Got the HW-Q990C price matched instore, thanks OP!
May I ask how, please? I am interest to get the HW-930C.
I rang a local store and asked for their best price for the item, it was the manager and i mentioned that on TGGC it was x price, which I want to purchase but I have to wait a few days for my account to be approved through Union Shopper to access TGGC and I was thinking if he could match it I'd just pop in and purchase it from them direct instead. He said yes, but he'd have to approve the sale as a manager so had to see him when I went in store. Although he did ask to see a screenshot of the price but I just said I can't access the site yet to see, as I was waiting for my account to be approved but he said "okay no worries" and still approved it.
Paid by gift card via Shopback and saved another $40 too!
Thanks OP, cracking price, picked one up. Have you had any issues with delivery? Seems to be moving pretty slowly after being allocated to a store
How long do prices/stock on GGC usually last? I just signed up to GGC through Australian Retirement Trust but don't know how long it will take for my access to come through. I really want to pick up a HW-Q990C
Can anyone share a screengrab? Maybe I can try and get someone in-store to price match..
nvm, I emailed them and access came through 10 minutes later. maybe related, maybe coincidence
$1218 now on TGG Commercial
Both for 990b and 990c.
Missed out on $1218, but they "matched" the $1276 in store, so I got it for $1224.96 with my 4% off TGG gift cards.
Just got the Samsung HW-Q990C Soundbar from JBHIFI for $1350 as it’s 1499 -10% PERKS voucher, just sign up with a new address to get a voucher. Whilst it’s not $1277 it’s a good price for those without commercial access
Samsung corporate and education store selling Q990C for $1274 after discount.
$1124+$50 postage on eBay from Powerland. (If only they would allow pick up)
With afterpay checkout code.Just bought Q990C through Shoprite $1115; picked up from HN.
Oh need to do some research on B vs C.
Edit. 2022 be 2023 possibly just software update.
Should I be waiting for 990b clearance?
