ULTIMEA 5.1Ch Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos, 410W Peak Power, Surround Sound System for TV, Sound Bar for Smart TV with Subwoofer, Surround and Bass Adjustable Home Theater, Poseidon D60, 2024 Version

This was my first TV surround sound purchase and I was swayed by the price and the reviews of the Poseidon 60. The setup was easy and accurate and all was well for about a month. While I was recovering in the hospital from open heart surgery, my wife called to say that the sound was not working. I diagnosed the situation as well as circumstances allowed, but she was forced to use the TV sound on our Samsung. So sad! After quite a bit of trial and much error, it was found that the problem was with the main Poseidon speaker, although it developed that there were sound issues with the Samsung set, too, which certainly complicated matters! The folks from Ultimea were extremely helpful in helping me with the diagnostics and when it was determined that the problem lay with the Poseidon, another unit was sent even before they received my defective unit. They even paid for the return shipping. I am happy to report that the replacement unit is performing marvelously, and I am looking forward to purchasing another system for my vacation home in Maine. After all, once you have experienced surround sound, you can't go back!

I recently replaced my old TV with a Fire TV and after a bit of research decided on this set of soundbar and speakers. The setup was perfectly straightforward. It's a few weeks later now, and I realized I could put the speakers on my console behind the couch, and the sub next to the couch for better sound (sorry, this is my first time ;)). I moved them, and all I had to do was plug the sub into power and the speakers into the sub. It is not necessary to run a cable from the soundbar/tv across the room to the subwoofer/speakers. This eliminates a lot of mess around the TV and obviously eliminates a tripping hazard. I didn't have to change any of my settings; the sub and speakers connected immediately with Bluetooth. All in all took 2 minutes to move them, and it was fully hassle free. Considering how many things in today's world are full of bugs and kinks, I am BEYOND happy about that. This is how it should be. The best thing has been that the sound is now broken out into tracks, so I can finally hear dialogue perfectly because it's coming out of the sound bar, while the music and action noises are coming from my surround speakers. Just half an hour ago, before I moved my speakers, I was annoyed that dialogue was muddled, and now it's exactly what I need. It's also fun as a musician to hear individual instrument tracks for the first time since the theaters (I'm watching Return of the King, ofc).

For $100, a great starter system. Think of it as 3.1 with perks (not 5.1), use the eARC (not Bluetooth), buy when on sale, and you’ll be very happy. For $100, it’s well worth it. I’m very glad I bought it. Compliments at the bottom, caveats first. 1. The Bluetooth receiver (or the processing of that chip) is of low quality. It works fine enough for podcasts and light background music, but it is tin-y and thin. This isn’t a huge issue as I can just play music from my tv (Spotify app on Roku) and have the speaker pick it up via the eARC cable (which works great). This is an expected and common issue, and while slightly frustrating as it’s not too hard for them to have to installed a better chip, I guess people generally don’t care as much about BT speaker audio. If you need a high quality BT audio recover either get something else (Bose and Apple and Sony have all worked well for me in the past) or connect an independent high quality BT receiver to the aux port. 2. Not ideal for spoken word (like podcasts). It works fine, I’ll keep using it but a. You HAVE to manually switch the EQ to “voice” every time (and remember to switch it back). And b. The 5 speakers a sometimes ever so slightly out of sync when streaming podcasts to them. My guess is this is for the surround sound effect, but when just cleaning the house listening to podcasts it more of an echo than surround sound. You can slightly adjust this manually with the “surround” setting, but again you need to remember to adjust it back when you go to watch a movie or listen to music. 3. Not a deal breaker, but the “surround” speakers must both be plugged into the subwoofer. They come with 15ft high quality cables to do this. This has changed where I put them and reduced the surround nature of the left side in my apartment so that I don’t have trailing cables. That’s a me problem, you might have better luck. 4. The front is tiny and short and not surround. It still sounds great and it slightly gets over this by playing some sounds “out of phase” to create a great nonspecific atmospheric sound, but nothing can replicate actually having speakers farther apart. This is a 5.1, but is plays like a really good 3.1 and if you think of it that way you’ll be more happy. I am so glad I bought this! The built in manual eq presets (adjust by pressing a button on the remote) for different media types, while annoying to have to change every time, helps podcasts and movies a great deal. When played through the eARC cable the sound is full and crisp and deep and immersive. It’s a steal at $100. I would never pay the full $170, but I didn’t have to and I’m happy. Think of it as a 3.1 system with perks and you’ll be happy too.

Update 8/7/25: Well the D60 replacement unit isn’t working now! The volume just does what it wants! I’ve tried to reset the unit, I’ve tried to unplug to reset it but nothing works! See the video of the volume doing what it wants. Left a voicemail message for the company, but no response yet. Update: The company reached out to me to discuss the problem. I tried everything that was suggested and that didn’t work. The company replaced the D50 system with the D60 and this system works perfectly! The D50 system must have a problem. The company wanted me to be happy with their product and I’m happy now with their product! 5 stars now! I’m not satisfied! The sound has a lot of echo! The bass has to be set on -6 and the surround sound set on -6 also to get rid of the echo. I’ve tried the movie, music, sports, and game settings and it does change the sound, but doesn’t get rid of the echo. I’m hooked up to hdmi arc and tried optical and Bluetooth with the same issue. It sounds like the system isn’t in sync! I know all the reviews are good and this one will be the only negative one!

Simplesmente perfeito. Qualidade superou um outro home que eu tinha, Panasonic de 1000 watts de potência.
