ULTIMEA 5.1 Soundbar with Dolby Atmos, 410W Surround Sound System Sound Bar for TV, Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer, Surround and Bass Adjustable Home Audio TV Speakers, APP Control, Poseidon D60

I got this on the Amazon Black Friday 2023 sale for £175. The product was delivered the next day. The setup was quite easy and I connected all the speakers and placed them around my couch. I connected it to my TV using the supplied HDMI cable. This review is based on my usage for the past two days. I have a 2018 Samsung TV, with only ARC and not eARC. So I am limited only to Dolby Digital and not Atmos. Still the soundbar was recognized immediately by the TV and the display in the front of the soundbar showed "Dolby surround" I watched Avatar 2 in Disney+, animation movie in Netflix, Invincible 2 in Amazon Prime and many videos in Youtube. Following are my thoughts and feedback Pros 1. In pure Dolby input like Disney+, the sound output is fantastic. The sub is punchy and the surround is fantastic. My son kept turning back for all the sounds in Avatar from the rear surround speakers. 2. On action scenes, the Sub did a fantastic job. I pushed the volume to 20. Could not increase it further without disturbing my neighbors. The sound field and the surround was very well felt. My fav setting is Eq 1, Sub at bass 0 and Surround at +1 3. Even at low volumes like 10 or less, the surround effect was very good and the sub was doing its job. Even though there is no dedicated night mode, the same can be achieved with Bass -1 and volume less than 10. 4. I am yet to update the firmware provided by Ultimea to improve the Bass. I will update this review once I update the firmware 5. Songs played through Bluetooth is great. The audio is much better compared to some of the videos I saw. The surround sound (though it is simulated) gave an immersive satisfying experience. Again my max volume was only 20. Cons 1. In normal audio input like from Youtube, the bar tries to make it into a 5.1 but failed sometimes. I could hear few cracking sounds from the rear surround speakers only while watching Youtube videos. Not sure if there is a fix for this or it is because of my TV Overall, this is a great system for £175 that I paid. I have not tested Dolby Atmos through it yet. I will update this review once I do. Update after two weeks Installed the T019 firmware to tweak the bass. The system is fantastic. I enjoy watching movies and songs in this system. The firmware gave bass levels from -2 to +2. This helps a lot with night time watching where the sub is off but the surround is still on. Gives a great watching experience. Great job Ultimea

This is my second ULTIMEA product. I bought the 2:1 soundbar for my Xbox and I loved it. So for my home cinema I went for this gem. Knowing the brand was good. First, this is loud. The sub woofer packs an incredible punch and I have to turn it down so my man cave walls don’t fall down 🤭 Set up is easy. The sub woofer and surrounds wirelessly connect to the sound bar. So it’s worth knowing that your sub will have to be at the rear of your setup. It’s behind my cinema couch and the surrounds connect to that. The soundbar is amazing too. No need for centre and front surround speakers, it’s all built in and sounds great with amazing audio L/R and centre splitting. I’ve had a fully wired system with the additional speakers and cannot tell the difference. This then removes the footprint and just gives you a very compact set up. It has a variety of EQ settings and the treble, bass, mid and surrounds can all be controlled by the remote. If you want to set up power off, display time outs etc or set up a custom EQ, this can all be done via the free app which connects via Bluetooth. The number of input choices is great. I have mine on optical as my TV HDMI outputs are all in use so I am not using Arc. This then removes Atmos output which the bar supports but needs HDMI arc connections to do that. Frankly the pure 5.1 is so good I can live with that. You can connect any Bluetooth device to it and I’ve used it on my phone for Apple Music and of course it sounds great. It includes all the wall mounts for the bar AND the surrounds which is a great touch. I have my surrounds on stands and the bar on a cabinet, but the fact you have all the dedicated wall mounts is great customer service. Basically this kit has everything you need and for the price you absolutely cannot go wrong. If you want a very diverse 5.1 set up which sounds amazing and incredibly loud. Then this is your choice.

I bought this when the price dropped to £169.99. I was not going to hook it up until our building works on the house are completed but could not wait... Anyway, I'll start with the negatives. My TV is a Samsung UE50H6200AKXXU and by default it cannot code signals via hdmi arc to Dolby Digital from internal sources like broadcast TV and external sources like other HDMI. This sort of makes having arc on it pointless. Also, it defaults to PCM output. I do have the choice of DTS output but the Ultimea does not support DTS. My Blu Ray's are mostly DTS so just silence from these. You see where I'm going with this... Anyway, I was going to pack it up and send it back when I released the return window had lapsed. So I thought I'd do some root cause analysis (see previous paragraph) to see if I could get it to work in another way. So I got the optical cable out and gave that a go. The supplied optical cable is a game changer for me. After figuring out I had to take the plastic covers off at each end (took me about 10 minutes to figure that out) I connected my Virgin 360 box to the Ultimea. The Virgin box is what I use for most viewing services. And there it was - Dolby Surround popping up on the Ultimea. A good test for any surround system is the opening titles to 'Indepence Day' where the letters making up the titles break up and fly towards you. The sound of this transfers from the front to the rear. And the Ultimea handles it well. I have the subwoofer beside the sofa and the rears just behind the sofa on some bookshelves pretty close. I have had to turn down the volume of the surround speakers as they are much nearer to the listeners than the soundbar under the TV 8 feet away. The sound is impressive. I think I have the latest firmware as the volume goes all the way to 100. I haven't had it past 55 so far and won't be going any further as I don't want to go deaf. So 4 stars as lack of DTS support means that my Blu Ray's will never be heard properly. I can get them downmixed to PCM by the TV as that is what it does. Thankfully I have a Virgin box and the optical cable to get surround sound. So the lesson I have learnt is that when the renovations are complete, I'll be buying a whole new surround system which can decode DTS and a new TV that has HDMI e-arc and can pass through all surround protocols that it comes across. The Ultimea will be going in the bedroom for the TV there which will hopefully have better surround output for the HDMI arc. So do your research and realise the limitations of the Ultimea and research your existing kit especially if its a bit older. The lack of surround support from my TV is not the Ultimea's fault. The lack of DTS definitely is....

What a great system in a box this is! Even ignoring the price point, it's great! Strong 5.1 and Atmos effect, easy setup, great control and additional support for firmware upgrades too. Looks the part, not too overbearing, but sounds quality for the size. Pros: -movies sound unreal! -Easy setup -Quality design -Nice enough material choice -Sounds clear and precise -Actual 5.1 surround -Atmos is good -Loads included in the box, HDMI cable, optical cable, mounts ect. Lots more than others. -wireless connection worked flawlessly out the box -lots of support from ultimea Cons -Sub-bass isn't great, the subwoofer size is just too small to repoduce below 50Hz(ish) with conviction... But unless it's a 12" sub or bigger, anything else would be the same in my opinion -front stereo separation could be better, the soundbar itself just isn't quite wide enough to give that nice wide stereo separation you can get with the rears. Overall, comparing this against others systems in the same price bracket, even systems 3 times the price, nothing would come close. For a non-audiophile to discern a noticeable difference, you would have to spend at least 5 times as much to get a 'better' system, even then, there would still be a trade off somewhere with another 'system in a box' If you've looked at others, just buy this, you won't find anything else better for the money.

I got this to replace an old Sony DAVS550 which in its day (25 years ago) was a top piece of kit!. Sadly it was showing its age and kept cutting out. Nowadays I cannot afford to spend what was effectively half a months wages on a surround system so needed something that was reasonably priced. I was prepared to settle for sound that was not as good as I was used to. WOW was I wrong. This is a doddle to set up and connected right away with my Samsung tv and I can use the tv remote to adjust the volume. The soundbar is a neat size and there are no annoying lights on during use. The subwoofer is connected wireless to the soundbar and the two rear speakers are wired to that - no more trailing cables along the room. Switched it on, chose the sound set up I liked and whacked the volume up on Lord of the Rings. Dialogue was crisp and clear with just enough powerful bass to make you feel as if you were among the orc army. A truly cinematic experience. Either technology has come an awful long way or this company just simply know what they are doing!! Can you get better systems? Probably but I doubt it at this price point. It is plenty good enough for me and my slightly deaf musical husband who insisted on playing his latest studio tracks and was suitably impressed.

——Update——- Customer care reached out and replaced the potentially staticky / defective item. Great customer service team to deal with, and upon changing some settings as advised, works to a much better standard. For the price, very very fair product. Thanks to Jamie from the customer care team for sorting and reaching out to me to help. __________________ I’m by no means a sound buff, but I just didn’t find them that much of an improvement for the cost at all. Heard that the quality control of the factory isn’t great - was proved right with no HDMI cable or instruction manual provided. I’m no slouch though so was able to sort out easy enough and the connecting process was very easy. Just disappointed I guess with the quality of the sound given the rear speakers which I felt were staticky and not great with standard TV programmes. The sound bar itself was small and didn’t pack enough punch at all, which again was frustrating.

I bought a new TV everything was fantastic except the sound. Looked at different sound systems and sound bars. I came across this that was on offer at £169 so purchased it to check the next day and had gone up in price. Where to start the appearance is very nice I'd say it's a a shiny black the sound bar part isn't over sized I'd say ideal but very powerful, the subwoofer is nice and not bulky considering the power it has , the 2 small speakers are nice which I will have wall mounted . Performance. The sound level is unbelievably loud and clear clarity and the bass is a deep good sound you can adjust the bass and speakers for what you prefer. Watched a few things on YouTube mainly music videos to put it through its paces and tried Netflix was not disappointed. It does support dolby for the richer sound. I decided to use a optical input for faster sound transfer. Set up. Very easy to set up and understand where some surround sound can be very complicated and hard to adjust settings. Overall it's definitely worth the money and comes up in the 10 for surround sound systems which I've found comes in 2nd place beating is usually a expensive branding label. The D60 seemed to have the best of power and clarity id recommend to anyone who is thinking is it any good to purchase as I'm partially deaf and I'm very impressed.

I have studio monitors in my PC & I do a lot of music production & let me make this very clear these speakers are awful - if you're watching a movie and want full immersion - the back speakers are decent but the main soundbar is inadequate. Its sound is way less powerful than the back speakers meaning you may get the immersion around you but, the dialogue or action in front of you is drowned out even in standard movie scenes... If you try to get the volume high enough to become satisfactory - the soundbar then becomes tinny. Which is never good - plus I have neighbours I can't put it on full blast just so I can hear things better. Another thing I'd like to note is that the sound cables provided are very poor quality & the power cable is faulty - immediately had sparks every time - tried plugging in my studio monitors to the same ports and their was no issue so yeah another thing to be aware of. I got some adapter cables for my studio monitors for my TV and immediately I felt the difference.. even without the cool immersion speakers in the back... It was so much better. If anyone is wondering I have two Yamaha hs5s very powerful and clear speakers. I forgot to mention too that the music quality on this speaker set is absolutely atrocious so if your looking for any type of use in this you are doomed. My best advice would be to make a gradual investment into your TV sound experience. I get these are budget friendly but they really do suck. If you don't wanna spend much or have them already... Plug in two decent speakers - set them up as a 2.1 - if your TV doesn't have the ports they're really cheap adapters online (rather than needing an amp or a bluray player). I really am having a much better time with my 2.1 compared to this cheap crap '5.1'.... it's much better than just having a soundbar/subwoofer too because their is two independent speakers of much higher quality and sound capability and they have their own woofers. (It could also be more budget friendly) If you do truly want a 5.1/7.1 setup buy your gear over time. If you look online at these setups what your going to see is a centre speaker, two front corner speakers, two back corner speakers, subwoofer & two extra back speakers (for 7.1) My advice for this kind of setup is to start of with one STRONG centre speaker as that's your main focus when it comes to your sound - you can also plug this into your TV without needing an amp or bluray player. I would even suggest a solo studio monitor as they are very clear, very powerful and have an adjustable sound dial so you'll never be drowned out by the surround sound, plus they have a woofer which'll give you more time to budget a subwoofer. Now when your getting the rest of your supply your gonna need a bluray player or an amp first. A good amp cost a lot more than a good bluray player but if you don't use physical media it's useless - plus with a good amp you can have it connected to your TV, phone, pc ,console ,laptop etc. but if you just want it for the TV you can get an amp cheaper than a bluray player so win win really. Once you have that covered your gonna want surround speakers - they're decent pricing, they are easy to place and tuck away - You'll need four so don't get nothing crazy priced... One for each corner of the room... Then you have a 5.0, all that's left is a subwoofer to create your 5.1... you could also get standing or bookshelf speakers instead, depends really on your room layout, what's your budget (may be cheaper, may cost more) It becomes tricky with a 7.1 though as you now have to get two speakers at your back meaning your sofa needs to be in the centre-ish of your room... You may not even feel the need to upgrade to this but if it's a must you need a good sized room for starters. Then you can decide on what speakers to get - I'm not too sure on what'd be the best option, that kinda depends on your room layout because it's not really good having them high up as you want back sound not surround sound... But yeah there's my opinion and my guidance for you.. returning these today - gotta wait up to 14 days for a refund 💀

If you’re someone who uses the TV speaker or even a 2.1 soundbar, Poseidon D60 will actually make a lot of difference. I have a small apartment and I’ve placed Sub and two rear speakers at the back and soundbar near TV and it sounds amazing. The app works so well it’s got a decent set of features. Just when setting it up, use the same distances for the rear speakers. Subwoofer is pretty decent as well. The soundbar connects wirelessly to the subwoofer and it’s perfectly in sync all the time. Totally worth the money!

O aparelho tem uma ótima qualidade, conexão rapida com celular. Ótimos graves.. Muito satisfeito.

I'm super happy and satisfied. Obviously it's not THE best in the market, Yet, it does the job more than I anticipated. I live in an apartment with a small room, The sound is filling the entire place, And the bass is very satisfying. I'm really happy with my purchase!

It would be criminal to rate this lower than 5 stars based on the value for money alone. But there are some cons, listed last. Pros first, though. It gets loud enough to fill a large lounge. The length of the satellites' cables make it so that it can fit a large lounge too. I have noticed no distortion and have used it at up-to 80% volume. The sound is very clear, with good separation and good balancing overall. It's a bit more neutral whereas more theatrical systems will be a tab more bass heavy, but I like that as I am in an apartment building. It's got great functionality - the presets work well and I can use my phone to apply a custom preset. Bluetooth mode is handy for listening to music. eArc is mostly seamless, with only a slightly delay when starting a video. It was very easy to set up, including connecting the sub to the soundbar. The biggest win for me is the actual Dolby Atmos. Not virtual, actual Dolby Atmos support, meaning audio is relayed across separate channels, each with its own assigned speaker. The virtual surround sound (used with non-atmos content) does a good job when used above 60% volume. A few negatives: While it can definitely fill a large room with sound, the separation of the front 3 channels is not great due to the small size of the actual bar. The speakers are a bit cramped in it and you can tell unless you're dead centre facing the bar within 3 meters. Under 60% volume, the virtual surround sound is not great. It struggles to identify bass and as a result, you end up with some rattle that sounds like an intermittent bass signal. It's really bad under 40%, so much so that I didable the bass when listening at low volumes.
