ULTIMEA - Poseidon D80

I've been trying out a D80 non-Boom and I'm pretty pleased with the way it sounds. I have quite a number of other issues with it, but those are probably just specific to my setup. I think if you have an audio source that gives it something good to work with, you should find it quite a big difference to a stereo setup, I found much better placement of sounds all around me when I was using mine. I tried it successfully with Plex, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc. and it definitely made a big difference.

All I can tell you was that it felt much more immersive than the stereo setup I was comparing it with. I'm far from an audiophile and not best able to give you a proper analysis, but it sounded good to my ears. Despite it being Dolby Atmos, I don't believe it's really capable of fulfilling the potential of that sound system -- as you say, Atmos is supposed to have full 3d placement including height, and I don't see how the speakers that are supplied with the D80 could possibly have achieved that, there are no up-firing speakers or anything like that. But certainly listening to some of the surround sound demos, I could place sounds around and behind me, which the stereo system could never do at all.

I have several Ultimea surround and they're great just like my denon 7.1 the only difference is that ultimea is a compact home theater. I guess the only question is will it last long. but me as a music and movie lover ultimea 7.1 atmos D80 is more than enough.

my ultimea posejdon d80 is dead. I mean EARC HDMI connection. issue with connection to the subwoofer, issue with very weak volume to the left/right rear speaker. of course I wrote to the support. answer ehh yes, they ask me to write to them what was my old ver of firmware because they don't know anything, they see what I got installed right now. they never think even to leave in microdode or in phone app anything to see all the ver. firmware. I wrote another email to support few hours a go , asking them to send me older firmware, that I can put to the USB stick and do downgrade. if they will not answer in few days, I will change my rewiev from positive to negative. my TV right now I connected to ultimea system by bluethoot and suprise no issue at all but loosing dolby Atmos and who knows what else but my rear sspeakers playing full volume and no issue to connect wireless to the subwoofer.

in general very good results, it's more than average with little eq and they can sound brilliant. I need inform ultimea, I'm back and finally fix my ultimea d80 or I will practically throw w them to the bin, because of their wierd bass behaviour.

Most cheap soundbars are just that cheap shit sound. The D80 is decent for cheap

Had the same debate between D70 and D80. Ended up going with the D80, after 5 month using,it's still good! Perfect sound! PS: Ultimea only support Dolby Atmos, Not DTS.Honestly though, for this price range, I'm not mad at it. It does exactly what I need.

Ultimea Poseidon d80, 300$ and 7.1 surround with Dolby Atmos and dts X. Best value for money in my opinion.

My living room setup is actually using the Poseidon D80. I'm not an audiophile by any means, just wanted a decent 7.1 system for movie nights and gaming. It’s been surprisingly clear and immersive. Definitely feels like good value for the price.

It’s interesting the last part… despite the price differences the overall scores are quite similar. I haven’t tested the x70, but I personally own a d80 Poseidon and can’t just agree more with this statement, the quality/price ratio is quite exceptional.

Hey OP , I’ll probably get heat for this but if your not looking to spend $1000 , more along the lines of $300 - there is a brand that is making a big name for themselves called Ultimea which offers a killer package in that price range. I took the dive on it a couple years back and I’m extremely happy bang for buck. Check out the Poseidon d80 on amazon - it’s got eARC Dolby Atmos and has 4 satellite speakers, and a 450 watt sub that kicks. They look good and it’s just a perfect little system for people starting out like me. I’d give it a shot they got a deal going on now. 20$ more and u get a 3 year protection plan too. Can’t beat it for the price.

Hey, don’t listen to the haters. If you can afford to spend a bit more, get the Ultimea Poseidon D60 or D80. There is a deal on Amazon. The D60 has to rear satellite speakers that get power from the sub, and the D80 has 4 satellites (2 for front right and left, and 2 for rear right and left) I’d go with the D80 I bought the D60 2 1/2 years ago (since then they came out with many other models) both have eARC and support Dolby Atmos… 450 watt sub. Don’t let the size fool you, they are plenty loud.. They have non eARC versions slightly cheaper if Atmos isn’t a concern but honestly, just get the 60 or 80

got the 7.1 system. looking for replacement asap. Bass isn't bad, but the rest of the sound is AWFUL. it sounds very much like the early smart phones when you try and play music at any volume on speakerphone, and it has no treble, mids, highs, etc.
