- 7.1 Surround Sound System for TV w/Dolby Atmos, 6.5" Subwoofer

After a full year of daily use, I felt it was time to share my thoughts on the Ultimea Poseidon D80. To provide some context, I live with a disability that affects my hearing, so I typically don’t consider myself the primary target audience for high-end audio equipment. However, drawn in by the competitive price point and a solid wave of positive user feedback, I decided to give this system a try. I am very glad I did. Reliability and Efficiency First and foremost, this system has been remarkably reliable. In an era where tech often requires constant troubleshooting, I have encountered absolutely no technical issues over the past twelve months. One of my favorite features is its energy efficiency; the system is designed to power down naturally shortly after the TV is turned off. It’s a small "quality of life" detail that provides peace of mind, especially if I accidentally leave it running after a long day. Performance and the "Star Trek" Test While I initially didn't focus much on the surround sound features, the setup process through both the physical remote and the mobile app was incredibly intuitive. The actual performance, however, is what truly surprised us. We recently had a moment while watching an episode of Star Trek that perfectly illustrated the system's quality. My father, who was sitting nearby, kept turning around, convinced that the "door knocking" sound effects in the show were actually me working at my desk behind him. The spatial audio was so crisp and well-placed that it created a genuine sense of immersion, blurring the line between the media and the room itself. Ease of Use and Future Plans The "plug and play" nature of the D80 makes it accessible for anyone, regardless of their technical background. It supports virtually every connection type you might need, and the Ultimea app UI is exceptionally user-friendly. Because of the hardware's consistent reliability and the software's ease of use, I am now looking into getting a dedicated Ultimea surround sound setup for my new desktop workstation. If you are looking for a reliable, high-quality audio solution that punches well above its price bracket, I cannot recommend the Poseidon D80 enough. Key Takeaways Build Quality: Ultra-reliable hardware with a sleek profile. Ease of Setup: True plug-and-play capability with a streamlined app. Audio Depth: High-quality surround sound that creates a truly immersive environment. Efficiency: Excellent auto-shutoff features for energy conservation.

Preliminary impression is extremely positive, you just have to know what to expect from what is essentially a glorified soundbar. This system far exceeds my expectations so far; if that changes, I'll come back and update this review. First of all, what it's not: - This is not a room-shaker - This is not a window rattler - This is not a home theater in a box - There are no up-firing speakers with this system, nor the ability to add them - Your typical soundbar If that's what you're looking for, you WILL be disappointed by this system. Keep reading, though, because that might only be what you THINK you're looking for. Here's what this system IS: - Extremely flexible and easy to set up - Extremely easy to configure for a very pleasing theater experience - A quite competent solution for enhancing music, movies, and gaming without breaking the bank - Able to be set up in a way that compensated for the lack of up-firing speakers - More than capable of filling my 12x16 room with sound If you have neighbors and lack a sound-insulated dedicated theater room, you probably don't need more than this. If what I wrote above makes sense to you, you will very likely be happy with this system. My setup: Front and back walls are 12ft, side walls are 16ft Ceiling-mounted projector providing a 95" 16:9 display centered at eye level for seated viewing at a distance of 7ft Soundbar (L, R, and center) mounted 14" below and 26" behind lower edges of screen Side speakers mounted 18" on center from side walls, just below the vertical center of and 10" behind the screen Rear speakers mounted on rear wall, 12" on center from side walls and 8" on center from ceiling Subwoofer situated in right rear corner of the room, raised 35" off the ground Due to how Dolby Atmos content is (typically at least -- your mileage may vary depending on the content in question) mixed, most higher-positioned sounds are panned more toward the rear and lower-positioned sounds are pushed toward the center channel. This is, in equal parts, down to how our ears perceive sound in a 3D environment and to accommodate Atmos systems with up-firing speakers, which angle toward the rear of the room (the latter being a design decision taking the former into account). That psycho-acoustic reality is precisely what my setup takes advantage of and replicating my setup as closely as you can will give you a very convincing Dolby Atmos setup using this system. For 5.1 and 7.1 non-Atmos content, the same setup will give you a very Atmos-like (but not quite) experience. For $300, with an understanding of what you're getting and some careful setup and installation, you won't be disappointed by this system AT ALL. If you find it on sale (I found it for $230) you really can't go wrong picking this up.

Setup was very easy! The tags identifying what cords go to what speakers was especially helpful. Regarding sound, the quality is beyond amazing once you setup the equalizer properly. The music/movie button is helpful, but do note that it is imperative to press the Xupmix button. If you don’t, you will not be as impressed with the sound quality. The bass is surprisingly booming at 50 throughout the house. 100 would be perfect if you’re having a movie night and have the surround sound structured properly in your room. You must use the Xupmix here as well to spread the love across the system properly! As for the sound quality regarding the Dolby Atmos, I recommend using eArc and the cord it comes with. I tried a higher end hdmi I bought from Best Buy and was forced to return it and use the factory cord due to the stark difference in Atmos compatibility. The immersive sounds for the movies we have watched and music we’ve jammed makes me say that this buy was an A+. This is the third ULTIMEA system we’ve purchased and each one has been better than the previous version. The D80 is better than the newer ones with more wattage too, so know that if you are looking for budget friendly and top dollar quality then this is your system!

Overall, this setup is great for my apartment. The setup was a breeze; I had it up and running within 20 minutes. The subwoofer was paired to the main bar right out of the box and has not lost connection to date. The sound quality is great. My only negative is that the left, center, and right drivers in the main bar are too close together, in my opinion. The front sounds can get a bit muddled. If the main bar were wider and the drivers spaced out a little more, that would be better. In conclusion, using my own rating system, I would give it a 90+ out of 100. Sure you could spend more for better sound, but for me, this system checks all the boxes.

The ULTIMEA 7.1 Surround Sound System is a great choice if you’re looking for high-quality audio without breaking the bank. For its price, it delivers exceptional sound quality that elevates the home theater experience. The Dolby Atmos support provides rich, immersive sound, making you feel like you’re right in the middle of the action. What really stands out are the sound options tailored for movies, music, and more. The movie mode enhances surround effects and dialogue clarity, while the music mode balances the bass and treble for a crisp, dynamic listening experience. No matter what you’re watching or listening to, the system adapts beautifully to bring out the best sound. The setup was very straightforward, even for someone who isn’t super tech-savvy. The 460W sound bar connects easily to smart TVs, and the 6.5" wireless subwoofer adds powerful bass without needing to deal with extra cables. The 4 wired surround speakers provide consistent, lag-free audio, ensuring that the surround sound experience is seamless. The system is well-built and looks sleek, so it fits nicely into a modern living room or dedicated home theater space. The app control is another big plus, making it easy to adjust the settings or switch between sound modes without leaving your seat. For an inexpensive system, the sound quality and features are impressive. It’s perfect for movies, music, and gaming, and it’s simple enough to set up and start enjoying right out of the box. If you’re looking for an affordable sound system with great sound options, easy setup, and Dolby Atmos support, the ULTIMEA Poseidon D80 is a fantastic pick!

The product looks good and sounds good when it works. The sound bar keeps disconnecting from the TV. I have tried various cables but doesn't resolve the issue. Customer support is difficult to get a live agent on the phone. It took 10 phone calls to get a hold of someone. Their advice was basic instructions, try other cable, restart, reset, all of what I had already done. Good price, but bad customer service and product. It is not fully wireless. Two front speakers connect to center soundbar by wire and two back speakers connect to bass subwoofer by wire. Returning product.

This review is for the Ultimea Poseidon D80 7.1 home theater. It consists of four small surround sound speakers, a modestly sized subwoofer, and a center speaker/control unit. The system is very easy to setup. The front two surround speakers connect to the center control unit via 3m RCA cables, and the two rears connect to the subwoofer with 6m RCA cables (all included). The cables are all identical and can be mixed and matched for your situation. The subwoofer connects wirelessly to the center unit and comes pre-paired. Both the subwoofer and the control unit require an AC wall outlet. The control unit uses a small block style wall adapter plug. It also comes with a TV-style and sized remote control. You can also download a free app to control it with your smartphone via Bluetooth. The remote lets you control the main volume and the bass, midrange and treble levels. There are also preset equalizer profiles or you can set a custom one. There are also something called EQ matrices you can set, but I found those to not make much difference. The remote also lets you change the brightness (only the phone app lets you turn it off) and duration of the volume/source display on the center unit. It accepts for sound input an AUX stereo jack, an optical TOSLINK cable, or an HDMI eARC cable (all included). It will also stream music from your smartphone via Bluetooth. It will process Dolby ATMOS sound input if available from your source, however higher priced ATMOS systems usually have more speakers including several aimed at the ceiling. Sound quality is still very good. The subwoofer is of modest size and won't shake your walls but still makes itself known. Wall mount kits are included for all the speakers except the subwoofer. The system overall has a very solid feel and build quality to it. The HDMI eARC cable controls the sound volume of it seamlessly with the TV's remote. It will also control the sound system's power, turning it on and off with the TV's power. Just make sure you have CEC Control turned on in your TV. It will be in the TV's menu someplace.

This system was very easy to setup thanks to the good packaging and instruction. The optional companion app is also handy for tweaking things if the remote is not handy! Also I used it to tune the sound profile, which was very helpful and allowed me to obtain excellent quality beyond what I expected at this price point. I mounted the back speakers on my wall and placed the side speakers on some shelf lamps. It worked well and looked nice both before and after I mounted my TV on the wall. The wireless subwoofer attached to back speakers is a godsend for ease of setup, and it magically paired on power on. I originally set it up with an eARC HDMI output from my smart TV, which indeed provided excellent Dolby surround for streaming as well as 4k Blu-ray (from an Xbox in my case). The sound is clear and separated, which makes the system particularly pleasing for playing video games, with effects and voices emitted with pinpoint accuracy. My smart TV had some issues consistently performing pass through via eARC, so I later switched to a classic optical input, still with good results and no fuss. Overall, this is a quality system with powerful, full surround features with the low price and trivial setup complexity of a sound bar.

Suenan increíbles! Anteriormente contaba con un home Samsung y superó mis expectativas! Su facilidad de configuración e instalación me sorprendió, además de la versatilidad de ecualización. Recomiendo ampliamente

Comprado el 18 de Julio, el subwoofer dejo de funcionar a los DOS MESES, ya no lo pude devolver por Amazon. Contacte con Ultimea para la garantía, fue un poco tardada la respuesta pero SI ME HICIERON VALIDA LA GARANTÍA, me reemplazaron la unidad, llego bastante rápido pues la mandaron desde México. Espero ya no falle. El sistema de audio es básico, pero con buen sonido, para uso en departamentos donde no se puede hacer mucho ruido. - Primero que nada no vas a tumbar las paredes de la habitación, es un sistema de audio discreto pero efectivo si buscas sonido envolvente y mejorar el sonido del televisor. - Muy fácil de instalar, asi como facil uso de la aplicación, (que la verdad no tiene muchas funcionalidades, la más importante actualizar el sistema). - Definitivamente hay que conectarlo a una TV con Dolby Atmos, para disfrutar al máximo del sistema, al principio la conecte a una TV con Dolby Digital y no se percibía el audio envolvente correctamente. - Separar de la barra principal las bocinas laterales-frontales, es mejor colgarlas a un lado de la TV para una mejor separación del sonido y quizá conseguir unos soportes móviles para direccionarlas. - Procurar hacer su investigación para configurarlo correctamente. LO MALO - La primera unidad venía un poco manchada de pegamento (Se puede limpiar) , la segunda todo bien. - El control tiene una calidad muy básica (No incluye baterías). - La APP es básicamente un control remoto, no aporte mucho. Por su precio está muy bien, siempre y cuando no se descomponga

Increíble producto, buena relación precio beneficio. Para ps5 la mejor configuración es xupmix encendido, que la tele que no procese el audio (pass through), en ps5 escoger 7.1 canales, más o menos escoger los ángulos de las bocinas de salida a los que corresponden con este sistema y seleccionar dolby audio como salida preferencial de audio (no dolby atmos). Para películas es una gozada, increíble.

Excelente sistema de sonido, fácil de instalar y con el mejor audio, la configuración la hace prácticamente el dispositivo y el usar la aplicación, mejora en automático todo.

Excelente
