ULTIMEA 7.1Ch Soundbar with Dolby Atmos, APP Control, Surround Sound System for TV, 4 Wired Surround Speakers, Sound Bar with 6.5" Wireless Subwoofer, Soundbar for TV, Poseidon D80

was completely fed up of standalone speakers for my Mac and the poor quality of what (I thought) was a decent pair out of a well known electronic shop, I decided to give Ultimea a try. Already owning the entry level surround system for my main TV, I bought the 2.1 channel system to replace what I had plugged in to my Mac setup. Ok - first impressions, neat little unit offering USB, Bluetooth, Optical and aux cable inputs and an app to help you fine tune the audio to your liking. You can wall mount or as in my case, sling it under my monitor and still have access to the on unit controls - Plugged in and working straight out of the box - Initially connected via the supplied 3.5mm cable - no issues - Decided nah that's one too many wires - bluetooth connection to the Mac was pretty instant. Sound quality, ok I'm a bit of an audiophile so to say I was surprised is an understatement. - Crisp high notes (could be a litter crisper for my liking but I'm not complaining. - A decently punchy bass out of the sub. - A pretty decent dynamic sound - actually better stereo effect than the two stand alone speakers it replaced. Sometimes almost surround sound like if you are sitting in the right spot. - Ok this thing isn't massive but jeez it's got some power - haven't dared go full blast with it yet as I actually quite like my neighbours. definitely giving this 5/5 on value, styling, connectivity, sound quality and general ease of use - pretty darn decent bit of kit for the money. If all you are doing is replacing a speaker system for a pc or don't have a lot of room for a full 5.1 speaker kit, would definitely recommend.

First of all, it feels and looks discrete and very high quality. Here are the good points: It’s dead easy to connect, we have a Samsung smart telly, with an HDMI(ARC) socket, which connects with the HDMI lead they include. We could have used the optical lead, but then we would have had to use two remotes. This way, with ARC, the TV remote controls the sound bar system as well as the TV. The front speakers are on little tables a couple of feet either side of the telly, the rear subwoofer is behind the settee. The rear surround sound speakers plug into the sub woofer, which of course is wireless. This solved the problem of routing speaker wires from the telly round the room to behind the settee. The speaker wires they supply have phono connectors so it’s all very neat and simple, with no splicing needed. The sound is amazing. Our room is 15’ x 23’ and when we watch a film, the sound is all around, and above (somehow, and I don’t understand how), the bass is thunderous and shakes the room! The different options are excellent - with Bluetooth for streaming, and a comprehensive set of options on the remote control. Our previous system was a 100 watt Pioneer 5.1 and after eight years it gave up the ghost. This is better sounding and it certainly deals with those difficult-to-hear dialogues that sometimes plague us these days, when actors can’t be bothered to speak up clearly. The main bar, is so tidy and discrete it sits in front of the TV stand and really isn’t noticeable but, my goodness, the sound it puts out is brilliant! There are touch buttons discretely placed on top for volume up and down, on and off, and Bluetooth. There is a USB socket in the back and I’ve prepared some music selections on memory sticks which I put in to give us background music, or as a full performance, when it makes us feel as if we’re int he middle of the orchestra. The sound is clean and powerful. For ordinary TV, not films, we find the GAME setting best for us. Then there’s the iPhone app which allows us to customise and fine tune everything. We also have the main buttons on the app, replicating the ones on top of the bar. On this app, you can create and name customised settings that suit you, using the very comprehensive equaliser page, but they already include, Music, Game, Movies, Sport and Speech. On the remote control there is button not mentioned in the manual, and that synthesises surround sound for sources (like music on the USB stick) that don’t come with surround sound coding. This puts music all round you. There are no bad points. But there is one feature I would change: When it comes on and goes off, it plays a loudish ding dong sound, and I would like the option to silence it. Maybe an update will do that. This system is Chinese manufacturing excellence at it’s absolute best - it will never satisfy the ardent purists who want turntables and amplifiers with valves, but for the rest of us, it’s absolutely perfect.

The good: The important bits are really good. The packaging did its job, the unboxing experience pleasant, and nice to have leads for all combinations. I chose to set mine up vertically and the stands work well. I'm using it via SPDIF/Optical for my desktop PC, both for gaming and music whilst I work. Both sound good and there's a good number of presets to make it easy to set it to your taste. I paid £99 for this in Q2 2025. I consider that fair value, and the quality of the components and the sound is noticably better than the £50 unit it replaces. The bad: 1. The Android app requires you to register for an account with Ultimea before you can configure the soundbar to change any settings. This means giving them your email address and even your date of birth before it will work. Why does Ultimea need my birthday? It's not alcoholic, it's not a weapon - just greedy information gathering for their benefit I strongly resent this and despite the quality of the unit, detract a star. One registered and logged in, the app has good functionality and a good UI, and once it's set up you can uninstall it and use the remote for daily operation. 2. No AAA batteries supplied for the remote. Even the cheapest Chinese product comes with them, so why not this mid-range soundbar? 3. It's not clear which speaker is left or right when setting them up vertically - it's not printed on them anywhere. I needed to use the picture of it assembled as a horizontal bar to figure that out. 4. There was an extended warrantee card included, but you have to scan the QR code to use it, there's no way to register using a desktop PC.

Produto excelente fiquei muito satisfeito.

Il bello di questo marchio è che con un budget contenuto vi riesce a dare prodotti sempre super validi; questo non è economicissimo, ma se volete avere un impianto Dolby Atmos 7.1 che suona bene, a mio avviso non troverete nulla meglio di questa ULTIMEA Poseidon D70, perché in quanto a qualità e versatilità non è seconda a nessuna, neanche a concorrenti ben più blasonate; l’ho provata per tre settimane con tanti film e riproduzioni musicali e ora posso dirvi quello che ne penso. CONTENUTO della CONFEZIONE: - La soundbar Poseidon D70; - Il Subwoofer Wireless; - I 4 Satelliti; - Il telecomando; - I cavi IN/OUT audio; - I cavi di alimentazione; - Il manuale utente. ESTETICA e MATERIALI: La barra è realizzata molto bene, in materiale plastico con gli inserti e la griglia in metallo. I tasti sono tutti sulla parte superiore, sono a sfioramento e si attuano sempre bene senza particolari difficoltà, gli ingressi e le uscite invece sono sul retro. Sulla parte frontale, nascosto sotto alla griglia, c’è un piccolo display che indica la modalità di riproduzione selezionata. La barra è molto piccola e leggera e si adatta bene a qualsiasi soluzione, anche ad un utilizzo sotto monitor. Il Sub è realizzato in legno, ha l’altoparlante posto sul fondo e un buco da bassreflex sul retro. Sul retro ci sono anche i due spinotti di collegamento dei satelliti e il tasto di accensione dello stesso che essendo attivo ha bisogno anche di essere collegato tramite cavo AC ad una presa 220V. I satelliti sono passivi, vanno collegati tramite filo al sub, sono realizzati con gli stessi materiali e lo stile della soundbar. CONNESSIONI e FUNZIONAMENTO: La Poseidon D70 può essere collegata ad una sorgente come TV, PC, Xbox, PlayStation o lettore BlueRay tramite cavo ottico in dotazione, Jack Audio, o cavo HDMI (gode della tecnologia eARC). Si può connettere anche tramite Bluetooth a tutte le sorgenti che lo prevedono, come ad esempio un cellulare per riprodurre la nostra musica preferita. Il collegamento tra Subwoofer e Soundbar è wireless e questo ci permette di posizionare il sub dove meglio crediamo. Purtroppo i due satelliti che formano il 7.1 sono passivi e vanno collegati al sub tramite i due cavi bianco e rosso presenti in confezione; i cavi sono lunghi e quindi è più semplice posizionarli nei punti che si preferisce. La Bar può essere comandata dal telecomando o dal dispositivo a cui è connessa, anche se è meglio farlo dal suo telecomando perché ci sono più opzioni su cui poter agire. C’è infine l’applicazione che è fatta davvero molto bene e vi permette di regolare tutti i parametri per far aderire alla perfezione l’impianto alle vostre esigenze. QUALITA’ SONORA: Gli alti sono belli e cristallini sia quelli emessi dalla barra che quelli dei satelliti, i bassi sono profondi e immersivi grazie al subwoofer potente e ben tarato: le esplosioni o le collisioni nei film fanno tremare lo stomaco per un effetto molto simile a quello che si prova in un cinema. La presenza del Dolby Atmos crea un effetto 3D del suono nello spazio in cui è installato l’impianto che rende l’esperienza d’uso davvero immersiva soprattutto nella riproduzione di film da sorgenti ad elevato bit rate. E davvero bello vedere un film con questa Poseidon D70. Riproduce bene anche la musica, anche se non ritroviamo gli effetti 3D presenti nella visione dei film è comunque bello sentire la musica perché ci sono sia gli alti che dei buoni bassi in tutti gli stili di musica. Ovviamente voglio precisare che la sensazione immersiva 3D del Dolby Atmos è presente solo su film e serie TV di ultima generazione e quindi se sperate di avere quest’effetto vedendo Titanic o Pulp Fiction non lo troverete, l’audio sarà sempre molto buono ma mai avvolgente quanto sugli ultimi prodotti cinematografici. CONCLUSIONI: Voglio un impianto Dolby per vedere i film con un audio degno del video ma non voglio spendere un patrimonio? Bene ULTIMEA con questa Poseidon D70 ha pensato proprio a voi perché senza troppi compromessi riesce a regalarvi un suono bello ed immersivo per non farvi perdere nessun effetto sonoro nella vostra visione cinematografica casalinga. Io ve la consiglio ad occhi chiusi perché ho visto tanti film nelle ultime settimane ed è sempre stato emozionante sentire i suoni che si spostano nell’ambiente intorno a me facendomi immergere nei film come se li avessi visti al cinema, insomma poca spesa ma tantissima resa.

I haven't bought a surround sound system before, I was skeptical of this because the price was pretty too good to be true. But I'm pleasantly surprised by the sound. I have a fairly large livingroom and it seems to took pretty well. I hat to turn on the functio amity for the earc dolby settings, for a while I thought it was the speakers not working but I got it. The front facing speaker doesn't seem to be that loud in comparison to the others, my wife complains she cannot hear the voices well against the base and rear speakers. But she's got a hearing issue. For me who doesn't it's pretty awesome! Finally get to pair my Bice to woth some surround sound. The setup was easy, the rear speakers don't have any hookups or ports on them for mounting I guess they're designed to sit on a shelf or something. So I'm going to make two little shelves for them on either side of the couch. The bluetooth connection is good there's no delay or mismatched audio from front to rear. They get really loud, you can feel the base and the surround is just cool. I recommend these speakers to anyone who's looking for some surround sound on a budget. Exept maybe audiophiles who are used to full on receiver setups or something. I use to just use a sound bar that was spose to emulate surround itself with no other speakers and it was garbage in comparison to this. I had a small bose sound bar and it was garbage compared to this. The rear and base speakers cannot be emulated. I hooked it up via optical cable and eArc hdmi so it switches automatically of dolby is available. The first movie I watched is Furiosa in dolby. And I cannot go back to just tv or soundbar alone. Hope this helps. Not a fake review,, you can tell by the rambling and lack of keywords lol 👍🖖

If you’re someone who uses the TV speaker or even a 2.1 soundbar, Poseidon D60 will actually make a lot of difference. I have a small apartment and I’ve placed Sub and two rear speakers at the back and soundbar near TV and it sounds amazing. The app works so well it’s got a decent set of features. Just when setting it up, use the same distances for the rear speakers. Subwoofer is pretty decent as well. The soundbar connects wirelessly to the subwoofer and it’s perfectly in sync all the time. Totally worth the money!

I'm very happy with the product, it performs very well for the price. A few things to note: 1) My old system would turn on with the tv, this dose not. I have to turn it on manually. Although no Biggy, it is annoying. 2) It came fitted with UK plugs. For an Australian its troublesome. But I find it works great. The sound is good - esp. with the 5.1 cannels - and it suits our small lounge. I'd defiantly buy it again!
