Why you should buy the Samsung 11.4.1 Q990C Soundbar

There’s a good chance you own a Samsung TV (we have an awesome list of Samsung TV deals too!), but if you purchased yours in the last couple of years, the Q990C soundbar and your Samsung QLED, QD-OLED, or traditional LED-LCD will be able to connect together wirelessly. While this isn’t the first time a soundbar has been able to do so, the advantage here is something called Q-Symphony. This combines all the drivers in the Q990C with the speakers on your Samsung TV. The end result: bigger and bolder audio, across a wider soundstage.

But that’s not all: The Q990C is able to decode both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X formats. If you’ve never experienced these codecs in action, let’s just say you’re in for one a mighty three-dimensional sound experience. From helicopters overhead to roaring dinosaurs in the background, you’ll hear audio in every single part of your room! Plus, the Q990C can be calibrated to match the acoustics of your AV space. 

Additional features include Apple AirPlay 2 compatibility and hands-free Alexa. The former lets you beam audio and video to the Q990C from Apple devices, (your TV will need to be connected to the Q990C via HDMI) while the latter bodes well for those of us with Alexa-compatible smart home devices. Essentially, the Q990C becomes a smart speaker with Alexa running the show. Adjust lighting, thermostats, and security camera settings, or ask Alexa to make silly sounds!

This deal isn’t going to last forever though, so one should obtain the Samsung 11.4.1 Q990C Soundbar while there’s still time. Buy the Atmos system through Samsung and save $300 while the sale lasts! You should also check out some of these other great Samsung deals we found.

Nothing’s next budget earbuds are coming for boring AirPods clones
Nothing Ear (3a) may bring back some personality to budget earbuds
Nothing Ear (a) deal

Budget wireless earbuds are the most popular kind of wearable tech in the market. But just like smartphones, a lot of these hearables basically look quite similar to one another. Nothing has actively worked on avoiding that trap, and its next affordable earbuds are expected to keep the track going.

The company has just confirmed that Nothing Ear (3a) will launch on July 7 at 11:00 BST, sharing the stage with the upcoming Nothing Phone (4b). The teaser does not reveal the full spec sheet yet, but it does show the earbuds in four colors: White, Black, Yellow, and Pink. Nothing’s audio lineup has always leaned on transparent styling and playful color choices to stand out in a sea of AirPods clones.

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones just became more tempting for gamers who hate gaming headsets
The new update adds Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, giving Sony's premium noise-canceling cans a lower-latency trick for compatible gaming devices.
Sony WH-1000XM6.

Sony's WH-1000XM6 gaming mode is rolling out through firmware version 3.1.5, adding support for Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, or GMAP. The same update also includes general performance improvements, so WH-1000XM6 owners have a real reason to open the Sony Sound Connect app.

It's a handy upgrade for headphones built more for commutes or office silence than late-night matches. Bluetooth lag can make games feel faintly wrong, especially when a footstep or button press lands a fraction too late.

Acer’s 1,000Hz gaming monitor is real, expensive, and stuck waiting on a launch date
The Amazon listing confirms the $699.99 price, while the display remains temporarily out of stock.
Electronics, Screen, Computer Hardware

Acer’s 1,000Hz gaming monitor has moved from announcement to Amazon listing. The XV273U F5 is priced at $699.99, giving competitive players a real number to weigh before one of the fastest displays headed to North America actually ships.

Availability is still the problem. Amazon lists the monitor as temporarily out of stock, and Acer has previously pointed to a Q4 North America launch window instead of a firm release date.
