OBAGE Newly Launched Home Theatre System with 200 W Surround Sound 5.1 CH, 8" Wired Subwoofer, HDMI (ARC), BT v5.3, Multi-Channel Volume Control (Dark Black)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent 5.1 home theatre – true cinema experience Using Obage CA-1 with my PC in proper 5.1 configuration and the performance is impressive. Surround separation is very good, dialogues are clear, and bass is deep and controlled. Movies and games feel immersive, not artificial. Build quality is solid and tuning options allow proper room-based setup. With correct placement and settings, it delivers a true cinema-like experience. Definitely one of the best 5.1 systems in this price range. Highly recommended.

My previous home theater system (Zebronics Zeb Juke Bar 9400 Pro Dolby 5.1) got faulty, and after a lot of online research, comparisons, and keeping budget in mind, I decided to go with the Obage 5.1. Honestly, I’m glad I did. My comparison is based on my previous home theater system- Pros: 🎵 Sound Quality: Super clear vocals, with bass that’s punchy but never overwhelming. 🎬 Movie Experience: Feels very close to a real theater setup. Even regular TV shows sound better than before. 🎶 Stereo Effect: The different frequency output from each corner is very noticeable, giving a truly immersive surround effect. 📱 Bluetooth Music: Excellent sound quality and volume for music playback — no complaints at all. Cons: 🔊 Volume in Large Rooms: For movies, the max volume can feel a bit low in bigger spaces (might be due to combined TV + system volume limits). 🔌 HDMI Switching: Sometimes I need to restart the system to get the HDMI input recognized — it doesn’t always switch automatically. Overall: The Obage 5.1 is a fantastic home theater system for the price. Amazing stereo separation, clear dialogue, and punchy bass make it a big upgrade. It’s definitely worth it if you’re looking for powerful, high-quality entertainment at home.

This speaker set delivers on quality, no doubt on that. It takes movie watching experience to a whole new dimension...if you have a large room/hall you will feel like watching movie in a theater. Vocals are crisp and clear, bass is punchy (and not boomy like Logitech). Few points worth mentioning :- 1> Keep front left/right/center speakers close to ear level 2> Rear speakers can be kept at a height as well, but should be pointed down towards listener 3> There should be adequate space between left/right speakers 4> Sub should preferably be placed on floor, and there should be some gap with back wall (since this is back firing) My setup :- 1> Initially connected TV HDMI eARC output to sub, however even after increasing volume to max (32) the sound seemed feeble for my 12x20 feet hall. The quality was satisfactory, but the loudness seemed inadequate!! I tried with optical out from tv, same result!! (please note I had increased individual front/center/rear volumes in remote as well) 2> Now lets talk about surround sound...this is what we have bought the speaker for, right? Well, I was disappointed to find that the set was not delivering 5.1 surround sound through PCM...I tried several YT clips but the rear speakers were not producing sound. In short, the set was delivering quality sound, but the above issues was not letting me enjoy to fullest. I had to do some research, and decided to invest in a decoder. Something not too expensive, and I had two options...Geestar and Futech. Both seemed similar, so went with lower priced Futech. Voila...both the above issues seemed to be sorted, what more could I ask for? I also got to know that these two are a popular choice with many who buy Obage CA1, probably for same reasons as mine. Also, there are people for whom loudness and PCM have seemed to work, unfortunately not for me and I had to invest extra! Additional info :- I also invested in 16AWG copper wires for extension of rear speakers/speaker wall mount stand/wall brackets for my setup; also the plastic mounts at the back of speakers(for hanging from wall) seemed feeble so replaced these with metal ones. In addition, one also needs to buy RCA/hdmi/optical cables etc depending on how they want to connect. I have not used Bluetooth/FM/USB so far, so cannot comment on how good(or bad) these work. The remote(though bit tacky) seems to perform its duties well; you can adjust individual/total volumes as well as treble and bass, along with mode of input. For some strange reason the bass and volume levels remain at the level you put them(even after restart) but the treble always seems to reset to 0 level! Another minor issue I should mention is before connecting the decoder, I was unable to use TV remote to modify volume. Tip: It is highly recommended to invest in additional subwoofer(SSW-1) to further elevate your movie watching experience Final Verdict : Must buy for movie lovers (with decent budget), you will thank me later.
