This soundbar dropped below 3 thousand! It has Dolby Atmos, up to 230 W power, and HDMI eARC

A soundbar with Dolby Atmos under three thousand – that sounds like a compromise on all fronts, but TESLA PrimeSound HQ-990 for 2,787 CZK with code ALZADNY15 surprises with how much it offers at this price. Two built-in subwoofers, functional surround sound, HDMI eARC for single-remote control, and a wall mounting kit included. It’s not a replacement for a five-thousand CZK system with a separate subwoofer – but compared to built-in TV speakers, it’s a “huge difference,” as customers repeatedly write.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want significantly better sound than from your TV and don’t want to spend thousands on a separate subwoofer – Dolby Atmos for 2,787 CZK is unique in this category.
⚠️ Consider if you expect deep, powerful bass – two built-in subwoofers are better than nothing, but they won’t match an external subwoofer.
💡 For 2,787 CZK you get a 2.1 soundbar with Dolby Atmos, HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.0, and wall mounting – no extra cables or speaker system.

What you get for the money

TESLA HQ-990 is an all-in-one solution – no separate subwoofer, no rear speakers, no cables around the living room. The compact body (90 × 10.2 × 7.8 cm, only 2.7 kg) houses angled drivers, acoustic radiators, and two built-in subwoofers. The 230 W RMS power at 96 dB sensitivity is sufficient to sound a typical living room – a customer confirms it easily covers a 30 m² room.

In terms of sound, it offers Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Digital with 3D Surround effect. Three sound modes (Music, Movie, TV) are complemented by an equalizer for custom sound adjustment and a night mode for quiet listening. Connectivity: HDMI eARC/ARC (control with a single TV remote via CEC), optical input, AUX, and Bluetooth 5.0 for streaming from a phone. The package includes an HDMI cable, a wall mounting kit, and a remote control. The LED display in the middle of the soundbar has three brightness levels.

What 18 customers say

The dominant theme of reviews: unrivaled at this price. Customers repeatedly praise the functional Dolby Atmos, clear sound, and price/performance ratio. One reviewer describes in detail that the surround sound works faithfully and realistically, HDMI eARC ensures seamless control with a single remote, and wall mounting is simple. Another appreciates that the soundbar fits perfectly under a monitor. The sound is rated as solid to excellent in the context of the price.

However, criticisms are repeated in three areas. Firstly: the bass is not deep – the built-in subwoofers provide a bass foundation, but those expecting a powerful punch will be disappointed. One reviewer describes the bass as “tinny” at higher volumes, another recommends turning it up to maximum. Secondly: the LED display is too bright and cannot be permanently turned off – even at the lowest brightness, it can be distracting in a dark room, as several customers mention.

Who it makes sense for – and who it doesn’t

TESLA HQ-990 for 2,787 CZK is an ideal choice if you want to easily and affordably improve your TV’s sound without complicated installation and cabling. Dolby Atmos at this price point is a rarity. Its compact dimensions and low weight are suitable for placing under a TV or mounting on a wall. However, if you need powerful bass for action movies or games, it’s worth opting for a system with a separate wireless subwoofer – but then you’re talking about a different price category.
