ULTIMEA Sound Bar for Smart TV with Dolby Atmos,190W Peak Power Soundbar with Subwoofer, TV Sound Bar with Bass Boost, Home Theater Audio Sound Bars for TV Speakers, Ultra-Slim Series Nova S50

The media could not be loaded. I did a lot of research to try and find a solution to a lack of height between a desktop and a monitor that was being used for work. Raising the monitor was not an option, and that left me less than 2 inches of clearance for an audio solution. Reddit just wanted to tell me to raise the monitor, and ChatGPT did its best, but only gave me 2 models that weren’t really going to work. I tried the BlueAnt Soundblade, but it has a big footprint and did not sound good at all.This thing kicks ass for what it is. If you have space constraints like I do, this is about the best option for the money. There is no way you’ll get decent sound from a small sound bar without a sub, so the passive sub helps a lot without taking up hardly any space. The clarity and separation was surprisingly good, and it was able to handle bass-heavy songs as well. Being able to adjust the base level was a plus. All the features you could want (HDMI, BT, Atmos) for a very reasonable price.Is this going to sound as good as $1k, 35 inch sound bar or full system? No. Will it rumble the walls when watching Dune? Also no. Does it sound better than the TV speakers? 400%. Music is fantastic given how small this is, and movies are decent.

I bought this for my Computer room (bedroom by original standards). I watch tv while doing things with the computer so it's a nice setup for in here. Now lets dive in to the pros and cons.Cons...I have an older Sceptre Tv and do have issues with the E-arc not working properly. I can usually get it working again by unplugging soundbar, waiting a bit and plugging power back in to it. I don't know if it's the soundbars fault or the tv. Sometimes switching mute off/on will get it to work on E-arc. I have the optical hooked up also and just switch it quickly to optical sometimes if it gets in a bad mood. Stereo sound is extremely minimal. Left/Right stereo sounds are not well defined. High notes are muted.Pros....The sound from this is incredible for it's size! Vocal clarity is very good especially with new V131 I installed in it from their support. The file is named simply update.zip and you just download the file on to a USB flash drive and plug it in to back of soundbar with it powered on and it will update file on to the soundbar. It isn't firmware per say, but rather different operating system setup for changing the overall sounds of the soundbar. Tech support via email is extremely helpful if you have any issues or questions. For it's price it is very powerful and the subwoofer is extremely key to this. If you unplug the subwoofer from the soundbar it sounds like a tin can so to speak. They really need each other, but it gets pretty loud and rocks out nicely for a bedroom.One thing they didn't tell me from tech support is that is EXTREMELY important is if you have an update file in your download folder already (as I did with the V98 I installed previously) please BE SURE that there is NOT a (1) after the update name or it will NOT install. This I had to find out the hard way after trying to install the file as it had that on the end of it's name so it would not install. Everyone needs to be aware of this evil snake that will sneak up and bite you while your trying to do this for your soundbar. Tech support failed to inform me of this and I spent a huge amount of time for nothing and had no clue why until we finally figured it out. I did tell them they need to make changes to the file names so that they are named the number they actually are which would help us and them (V131) for example for the one I installed which would eliminate the problem all together. Be certain it is named update.zip ONLY.Overall this little beast is extremely well suited for any bedroom/aux. place where you want very decent sound. This is a great purchase I made and I am highly recommending it to anyone.

ULTIMEA Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos – Immersive Sound but Missing DTS SupportThe ULTIMEA Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos is a fantastic upgrade for anyone looking to elevate their home theater setup. With 190W Peak Power, it delivers impressive sound quality and a truly immersive cinematic experience. However, I couldn't give it 5 stars due to one key issue: it doesn't support DTS, which unfortunately limits its functionality for half of my movie library.Key Features:Dolby Atmos for Immersive Audio: The Dolby Atmos technology is a standout feature. It creates a 3D audio experience that brings movies and TV shows to life. The sound feels like it’s moving all around the room, making everything more engaging. Whether it's explosions in an action movie or subtle background noise, the soundbar delivers it all with clarity.Powerful Bass with Subwoofer: The included subwoofer adds depth to the sound, especially with deep bass that really enhances music and movies. I was blown away by how much more dynamic my setup felt, with the bass complementing the highs and mids beautifully.Peak Power of 190W: The 190W power output ensures that the sound is loud and clear, even at higher volumes. Whether I’m watching a quiet drama or a loud action-packed blockbuster, the soundbar handles it without any distortion.Easy Setup and Sleek Design: The setup process was quick and simple. The soundbar looks sleek and modern, blending seamlessly with my living room decor, and it pairs easily with my Smart TV.The Drawback: No DTS SupportUnfortunately, the lack of DTS support was a huge disappointment for me. Since a significant portion of my movie library is encoded with DTS audio, this limitation meant I couldn’t fully enjoy many of my favorite films. While Dolby Atmos delivers an amazing experience for supported content, not having DTS compatibility is a big downside for those who have diverse media collections.Final Thoughts:Overall, the ULTIMEA Sound Bar is a solid sound system for anyone seeking an immersive, Dolby Atmos-powered experience. The sound quality, power, and design are all top-notch. However, if you have a large collection of DTS-encoded media like I do, the lack of DTS support might be a deal-breaker. For me, it’s a 4-star product, but it would easily be 5 stars if DTS was supported.
