ULTIMEASound Bar for TV With Dolby Atmos, 3D Surround Sound System, Bluetooth, Deep Bass, Slim Design, 190W Home Theater Speaker, Nova S50

I was sceptical about the claims I read in the reviews for this TV Soundbar.However, as the Soundbar was exactly the right size to fit under my 65 inch TV (the TV stand is angled outwards so not much space) I decided to try it as the price was so reasonable.The unit was packaged extremely well with foam packing to ensure no damage in transit. The Soundbar is slimline and very unobtrusive when placed under the TV. The subwoofer is small enough to place either behind or to the side of the TV stand. Mine is at the side.Installation took only a few minutes as the connections are easy to understand. The unit is supplied with an HDMI cable, the power supply, a 3.5mm audio cable, a TOS link (optical) cable, a right angled HDMI adapter (in case your TV is against a wall), a wall bracket and a small remote control. The inclusion of the adapter, audio and TOS link cables shows the manufacturer has really thought about making sure the unit can be used immediately without resorting to ordering extra cables. This is excellent service which other manufacturers should take note of.The best audio is obtained by using the HDMI ARC or eARC socket (audio return circuit) on the TV to the back of the sound bar. The subwoofer has a generous length of cable which also plugs into the back of the sound bar.The unit powers up from the remote control which also has buttons to select the audio source (eARC/ARC, optical, Bluetooth, 3.5mm AUX or USB.Sound performance is absolutely fabulous for the price. The Soundbar audio is very good, much better than the TV's speakers. Using the Movie sound preset gives very clear upper and midrange from the Soundbar backed up by reasonable bass from the subwoofer. The volume range provided by the Soundbar is exceptional for such a small unit. Bass control is a little limited with just 3 levels and could be better if the steps were spread over 5-6 steps instead. Note that a full 5.1 home cinema system will sound better than this unit, however they cost substantially more and also involve a much greater investment in routing cables and finding suitable places for all of the amp, speakers and subwoofer.I also tried the Music mode via Bluetooth from a portable audio player. Music sounds very good (a HiFi would be better, but has the same pitfalls as a home cinema system) and can also go very loud. Bluetooth set up is extremely fast.Overall this Soundbar/Subwoofer set is exceptional value for money and would be a great improvement for anyone who wants a little more sound quality from their TV. Highly recommended.

For a dolby Atmos soundbar at this budget and size is quite impressive, with room filling Base and large volume levels.After a fair amount of testing I've come to the conclusion that the soundbar mid/high frequency speakers are a little flat and underwhelming, this is mostly down to the space constraints.If you want to improve the product I'd add a toggle switch and add 2 amplified outputs so you can toggle between the internal speakers or external speaker ports; add your own speakers.Further more the bass and sub bass can be a bit overpowered in comparison to the mid and highs, this could be easily remedied by having a larger number of bass presets or more granular control.Onto the software functionality.All the advertised formats worked correctly however there is no form of DTS support which is understandable at this price however it would be a nice addition.I did have some issue with dolby truehd audio,I occasionally had audio drop outs that kind of ruined some movies, especially if you are watching 4k blurays as they almost all use truehd as the audio format.I'm confident most of the issues can be fixed with software updates or a minor product revision.Build quality, appearance and ease of installation is absolutely spot on, the soundbar is mostly made of metal with nicely done plastic end caps, where one of which houses the soundbar controls.It's plug and play with just 3 cables required to start, hdmi cable, 12v barrel jack and bass cable.Would I recommend this product?Absolutely, while it has its minor issues, it is the cheapest Atmos enabled soundbar and performs much better then similarly priced non Atmos soundbars and even manages to compete with budget Atmos soundbars from the like of LG and Samsung.Who would I not recommend this too?Home cinema builders and blu-ray watchers, as truehd is a bit iffy on this device and it could significantly impact there experience.The perfect use case; it would be absolutely perfect for streaming devices like the Chromecast with android TV or the firestick, especially for auxiliary tvs and kids bedrooms.Ultimea have reached out and given me a lifetime warranty on this device, and asked if I'd like to try there upcoming software update for the device.I will add to my review if things change with the software update.Update 1:I upgraded the software from v059 to T098, the resulting update really fixed alot of the baseline issues with the soundbar.The bass has been reduced slightly and more granular control has been added so you can fine tune the bass levels, the maximum bass level seems to have also been reduced.(just providing more granular control is enough to make me happy) this isnt bad just something to note.The mids and highs have vastly improved, becoming more full and dynamic, with a much wider sound stage. This is a massive difference compared to how muted and flat they where previously, Which has definitely raised my rating of this soundbar.They also added Mpcm support and updated various software modules.I'd rate this product 5/5 for any potential use cases except for home cinema setups.until the truehd audio dropouts are fixed I can't recommend this soundbar for any home cinema use cases as a major portion of blurays and 4k blurays use truehd for the audio.while truehd has an ac3 core for fallback compatability, it's not really acceptable on a product that advertises truehd support.Ultimea keep up the hard work your almost there.
