Pros
- God damm both are solid choice but I will choose q990h.more features comes.
- I tried the Q-990H and 1000MK2 in store and found the Q-990H to feel more immersive when watching a movie clip. The 1000MK2 had a stronger thump effect, but the clarity was better with Samsung.
- I bought the samsung Q990H which I like, but when it's time for a new system I'm totally going to spend the extra money and buy the dragon.
- The 990H is obviously a better option along with more power, more drivers and a better sub. I always recommend the 990 if it’s in the budget.

Cons
- On the Q990H the Ai adaptive mode + spacefit causes crackling from the subwoofer.

- it just kind of sounds "fine". Spatial effects are okay, vocals are mostly clear, bass is there but doesn't shake the room, and treble sounds more like what you would expect from full range drivers rather than dedicated high quality twee...

- Samsung's customer service deceived me by claiming that the latency when wirelessly connecting the Micro RGB R95H, the HW-Q990H, and two Music Studio 7 units via Q-Symphony was very fast—about 90% as fast as HDMI eARC when using a PS5.

The bass is superb man, I mean sure the bass on the JBL could be "better" but trust me it's nowhere near as bad as some people are claiming it to be 🤷. I have the 990h and it's incredible, especially for my apartment. The bass is very controlled.
Parent context: How is the sub's bass? I've seen people calling it's very weak though it's a dual 8inch driver unit. Reply: It’s more than adequate. I live in an apartment and I also have a 17 month old so 99% of my viewing is at night when she she is asleep so even if I wanted a more potent system I couldn’t get one. This more than delivers and the base hits and punches hard when it needs to.
I was worried that rhe 990h wouldn’t deliver as my room is open floor. Initial testing has quelled my concerns. I am not an audio phile but I do have a discerning ear for audio. I have dabble in case audio etc. forget all the negative reviews which I don’t understand this system delivers tremendously.
