Buying decision

Should you buy it?

The HW-Q800C is a 5.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos bar with up-firing drivers and a wireless subwoofer, delivering phenomenal power and convincing height. Add rear speakers later for full surround. It lacks 4K/120Hz passthrough and isn't the most musical bar.

Best for

Movie fans who want big, room-filling Atmos sound.

Not for

Gamers who need 4K/120Hz HDMI passthrough.
