Value for movies and easy setup, but music falls flat.

Grab a refurbished ultimea D80 boom. I use one in my office and it was a great deal at $211.00. Bass is excellent for being a 6.5in subwoofer and its compact. It features dolby atmos 7.1 and has both an eARC and an hdmi in. https://www.ultimea.com/products/refurbished-poseidon-d80-boom-7-1-soundbar
This is one of the smallest soundbar setups i have found. If you dont have room for this, you dont have room for a soundbar at all.
Nice! I just bought a crappy ultimea 7.1 for about that amount. And I live in Mentor. Lmao.
I picked up ultimea poseidon d80 boom. Man it sounds amazing. It's under $500. Ended up buying 2
I recently got the Ultimea Poseidon D80 Boom for our cinema room. Was only $150 but I am quite impressed. Im sure the more expensive Skywave soundbars are well worth the money. Also check out their refurbished page for a better price.
Considering you’re looking for a minimalist solution, I’d recommend the D80 Boom that I’ve been using myself. It’s super easy to set up — no messy receivers or cables — and the sound is good (considering the price, you know). If your UST projector supports Dolby Atmos output, you can really feel the Dolby Atmos difference, trust me.
Check ULTIMEA Poseidon D80 Boom. I'm using it together with my Onn 4K Pro and Nintendo Switch. I also made a [video review](https://youtu.be/sxfWy1xspQI) after using it for a week.
Salut, je possède 2 modèles de chez Ultimea. Il y a 2 ans j'avais choisi le Poséidon D60 5.1 et je n'étais pas satisfait de la sonorité en général, je l'ai remplacé 6 mois plus tard par une nouvelle version 2025 avec application et la je l'apprécie beaucoup. La sonorité me convient parfaitement et l'on peut la régler par mon téléphone. J'ai ensuite acheté une 3ème, la Poséidon D80 Boom que j'utilise avec un vidéo projecteur TCL 1As acheté il y a 1 mois. Je me suis fait ma petite salle de cinéma maison et nous prenons plaisir ma famille et moi même à nous divertir. J'ai 60 ans et je suis pas un robot 😉😄🤪
