tldr; Budget Atmos done right. 3.1.2 channels, solid dialogue. Perfect starter bar or bedroom setup. Add rears for full experience.

Best praise vs top criticism for Samsung HW-Q600C
“Sound quality yes Sennheiser wins. But the Samsung will be about 1/10th the cost and will give a better experience over all because of the rear speakers and the software actually works unlike Sennheiser's which can still be buggy. That being said Sennheiser's crown has fallen... The new Kef XIO is better and has rear speakers due in a future release.”
“I just bought a new q600 and am afraid to plug it in until a fix is released. Can I just refrain from hooking it up to WiFi at all and still install it safely? That seems to be reasonable but I'm a bit paranoid”
