ULTIMEA 5.1CH Surround Sound Bar with Subwoofer, Dolby Atmos, VoiceMX & BassMX Tech, 300W Soundbar for Smart TV, Home Theater Surround Sound System for TV, App, BT 5.4, Poseidon M60 (2025 Model)

I wanted to improve the audio quality on our 42" LG C3 OLED TV. Our TV's built-in speakers were OK, but I wanted something with a bit more volume and separation. I had considered getting a decent pair of active bookshelf speakers, but this sound bar cost considerably less than the speakers I was considering, and it seemed to have a lot of features at a low price. I was a bit skeptical, but the Ultimea Poseidon M60 got good reviews on Amazon and YouTube. Also, since it supported connection through eARC HDMI, I thought it would be simpler to set up and configure than bookshelf speakers. In fact, it only took about 5 minutes to set it up and get this soundbar working. The sound quality and separation are considerably better than the TV's internal speakers. My TV automatically detected the sound bar and configured it as the default audio. To test it, I viewed several Dolby Atmos and SurroundSound demos on YouTube and some action scenes from a few movies, and it does a great job for a relatively inexpensive unit. It synchronizes perfectly with the action. There are no delays or lag using eARC. (It probably won't magically fix bad English voiceovers on old Godzilla movies, though!) I haven't tried the smartphone app yet, but it doesn't really seem necessary since all the important controls are available through controls on the sound bar and on the remote. With the eARC HDMI connection, the TV remote pretty much does anything I would want. The sound bar automatically turns on and off with the TV, and the default sound quality is good for movies, voice, and music. Based on my initial tests, you wouldn't even need to fiddle with the controls at all unless you want to also use it as a Bluetooth speaker, or if you want to change the sound profile. I find the default configuration to be reasonably good for any scenario. It just works. (This was important to me, as my wife hates having to mess with a bunch of buttons just to watch a movie.) It may seem obvious, but it's best to center it under the TV. When I initially set it up, I temporarily placed it to the side to make it easier to connect the cables. I found that the surround sound effect is lost if you're seated just a few feet to the left or right of center.

This system was very easy to set up. Includes an HDMI cord for earc connection. This thing sounds great, especially for at this price point. Bass sounds good, midrange is crisp and clear and high end is good, not tinny sounding. I have only had it for a few days but it does feel well made. Cases are solid and connections are tight without any play. Remote is intuitive, you will just need 2 AAA batteries as it does not come with any. Definitely worth more than the price paid.

My wife and I are seniors who sometimes have trouble hearing the dialogue while watching TV shows and movies. Some years ago we bought a device that boosted the dialogue as promised, but at the expense of the rest of the sound tracks. Music, especially was muted, which really dampened our enjoyment of movie musicals. Finally, it was apparent that we were ready for newer technology. Prior to making a purchase I read dozens of reviews, watched quite a few Youtube videos, and even used ChatGPT for advice and side by side comparisons of multiple products. After all that, factoring in our budget as well as the features, I settled on the Ultimea 5.1 Channel Surround Sound Bar with Subwoofer. It had so much more than I expected, and the price didn't bust the bank. Even for this old guy, assembly and setup were easy. I just put together the two speakers, plugged the subwoofer into it, plugged the HDMI cable into the ARC port of my television, plugged in the power pack, and I was ready to go. We have an older Sony Bravia television, and I did need to tweak a few settings in the AV area before I got any sound. That only took a minute to locate and adjust. Then I picked a movie online that had both songs and a lot of dialogue to really see if this sound bar could deliver what I was looking for. I was not disappointed. The dialogue came in crisp and easy to understand, and to be honest, was clearer than our previous sound bar system that was designed primarily to boost dialogue. Other things I liked were the fact that the subwoofer didn't overpower the room. I've had home theater systems and found I had to really turn down the subwoofers because the entire household could feel the bass when it came on. I wanted something a little more subtle, and that's what I got. Now I should mention that the Ultimea sound bar has plenty of power, 300 watts worth, but I don't need all of that, at least not unless I decide to throw a dance party. For watching TV it's perfect. Another thing I like is that it comes with lots of pre-sets, but also an equalizer that you can use to fine tune each preset according to your own tastes. While I was watching the movie to test it, I gave it a little more bass, and boosted the mid-range a little, and it was exactly what I wanted. I couldn't be more pleased. Because of the size of my TV's base, I had to elevate it the TV so the new soundbar didn't block the spot where the TV read the remote's signal. Ironically, I'm using the old dialogue enhancing console as a riser. My TV is on a narrow buffet, so in order to have room for the cables in the back of the ULTIMEA sound bar, I had to set it up a little to the right of the old console. However, that didn't affect the great sound produced by the new sound bar, so I'm happy. I did install the app, and plan on exploring all of the other capabilities of this device, including the Bluetooth. I'm going to play music from my phone, and I know from the documentation, I can pull up a visual equalizer if I want to tweak the sound even more. This may be the best keptt secret on Amazon in terms of getting the most "bang for your buck." It's a steal at a little over $120, considering the quality of the soundbar and subwoofer, and all of the technology packed into it, not to mention how easy it is to set up. I readily give it 5 stars for quality, ease of set up, bargain price, and performance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Incredible Sound for the Price! I am blown away by the ULTIMEA 5.1 Channel Surround Soundbar with Subwoofer. From the moment I set it up, the difference was night and day compared to my TV’s built-in speakers. The sound is rich, powerful, and incredibly immersive—movies, shows, sports, and music all feel like a true home theater experience now. The surround sound is especially impressive. Dialogue is crystal clear from the center channel, while effects and background sounds wrap around the room in a way I didn’t expect at this price point. Explosions, bass drops, and action scenes hit hard thanks to the subwoofer, which delivers deep, punchy bass without overpowering everything else. Setup was quick and straightforward, and the system paired easily with my TV. The design is sleek and modern, blending perfectly into my living room. I also love the different sound modes, which make it easy to fine-tune audio for movies, music, or late-night viewing. For anyone looking to upgrade their TV audio without spending a fortune, this is a no-brainer. ULTIMEA absolutely nailed it with this 5.1 system—premium sound, easy setup, and outstanding value. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase! 🔊🔥

The Poseidon M60 soundbar has exceeded expectations in every way. Setup was unbelievably easy—within minutes it was connected and ready to go, without any confusing instructions or messy cables. Once powered on, the difference in sound quality is incredible. Dialogue is crisp and clear, and the bass has surprising depth for such a sleek system. Movies, music, and games all feel more immersive, as if the audio completely fills the room. One of the most impressive things is the contrast when it’s turned off. When I switch back to my TV’s built-in speakers, the volume practically disappears—you can barely hear the TV without the soundbar. That alone shows how powerful and effective the Poseidon M60 really is. For the price, it’s a fantastic value. You get premium-quality sound without the premium price tag. If you’re looking for an upgrade that’s both affordable and impressive, the Poseidon M60 is an amazing deal and absolutely worth every dollar. 💯
