ULTIMEA - Skywave F40 Boom 5.1.2 Soundbar

I bought the Skywave F40 Boom and for the price of £200 it's brilliant. Suits my use perfectly for use in a small flat. I would highly recommend. It's not Sonos or Bose but they are twice the price.

Not from my experience with the Skywave F40 Boom. You can hear distinctly different sounds from the rears to the fronts.

The Skywave F40 Boom does not support it - but I'm satisfied with Dolby Atmos on my Poseidon D60

Just to update this post, I bought it in the end and I love it. Dolby Atmos is fine. The Xupmix mode is not for me, but the original is perfect. I tested 4 types of Ultimea 5.1 soundbars and so far, this is the best for the budget in my opinion. Sound is clear, bass can be strong, within the app I can basically modify everything. I was in my local store to test more expensive devices from known brands like LG, but for me those didn't feel any better (I'm not an audiophil, so maybe this is why). So in case someone in the future comes here, I can recommend this model. And please avoid the Ultimea Nova S80 model - The subwoofer had some issues when playing normal youtube videos even when bass was on the lowest option. So that was a no-no for me. Also, if someone wondering, the up-firing speakers didn't give any bog noticable difference, but the soundbar's width compared to the Aura A30 and Poseidon D60 is superior in my opinion. Poseidon D60 is fine too as a secondary speaker for my other TV, but in the future I might replace it to this same model when this gets cheaper.

If in 2025 you’re still using your TV speakers, you’ll be happy with most newer soundbars regardless of connection. If your budget is $300, there are MANY options better than the Creative Stage Pro 2.1 that you’re speaking of. The Ultimea F40 Boom SE is $179 right now on Amazon and it’s a 5.1.2 system. This Ultimea will knock your socks off. https://a.co/d/ag2Zk3C

I replied above on accident. I've seen the price difference. I have no idea why the smaller sub is more. Makes no sense. I guess a bigger sub for less.....👍

I've seen that! I have no idea why!! Obviously makes no sense. Bigger sub for less 👍

Here you go, I just did a full review and comparison to some decent built in 2.1 TV speaker on my Samsung. https://youtu.be/110Ns9F3Q8g?si=ZVu23SfyPdzaObHn I really like the Skywave F40 Boom. It gave a reason to watch movies again. I also provide a discount link in the description.

Temu has a bunch of bargain ultimea audio setups, many under $200. I have a skywave f40, which is quite acceptable to my ears. Depending on what I am watching, I can online switch to a voice profile or a music profile among others. And, it helps to work on positioning the subwoofer.

I also have the ultimea skywave f40, and am very satisfied. ultimea has several other Dolby Atmos surround sound systems for < $200 with customer satisfaction close to that of the samsung q600c, Things to check out! I am also very impressed with the remotes, which are intelligentl designed, and give lots of opportunities for shaping the sound. Good luck!

I have the Boom and I love it so I don't know why people are so against this brand, it might be cheaper if you order it directly from them

Having peeped the Ultimea lineup based on the buzz from here, they're merely mid-level cabecillas, that will likely take the place of Vizio now that Walmart's subjugation and annexation of that brand sent them in a death spiral towards oblivion alongside Onn! I would've been satisfied with the typical "black plastic crap" sound of Ultimea & other nobodies had I not been a reporter on a university student newspaper in the early '70s for my fellow scribes introduced me to 🎖️& platinum 👂ed audio as they enthusiastically waxed rhapsodic about McIntosh, Mark Levinson & Nakamichi hardware, I ended up getting hooked on that class of audio!

Ultimea is the best value soundbar. I got an Apollo S40 on the Facebook Marketplace for $20, and it's more than adequate for a great 2.1 channel set-up. It has 2 tweeters and two woofers per channel and a subwoofer-out port. You can also buy refurbished models from their official Temu store named 'Ultimea Refurbished' to save 40 to 60%. Although for a PC in particular you should probably look for a PC-specific soundbar and surround system from someone like Logitech. There are lots of them on Facebook for less than $55.
