Why you should buy the Samsung HW-Q990D 

Far more than an upgrade for your TV speakers, the Samsung HW-Q990D is the kind of soundbar that can virtualize an entire surround sound configuration. Thanks to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, the Q990D leverages up and side-firing speakers to fill your living room with floor-to-ceiling sound. And thanks to the wireless sub and rear speakers, you’ll get plenty of low-end and background effects, too. 

The Q990D features HDMI 2.1 connectivity and 4K passthrough at up to 120Hz. This means you’ll be able to hook up a PS5 or Xbox directly to the soundbar, and it will send audio and video data to your TV via HDMI eARC. The Q990D also has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi inputs, so you’ll be able to stream music from a phone or tablet through popular services like Spotify Connect and Apple AirPlay. 

We’re not sure how long this sale is going to last, so if you’re interested, your best bet is to buy ASAP. Take $500 off the Samsung HW-Q990D Dolby Atmos Soundbar when you purchase right now.

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
