The F40 BOOM really is amazing. I don't know how they do it for the price. I'd put it up against a $1000 system any day. You won't be disappointed. Watch carefully that it's the 2025 model. 6.5" sub. Model# 4123. The 2024 model is identical but has a 5.25" sub. Model# 4122

Ultimea F40 Boom 2025 Model# 4123 5.1 6.5" sub Dolby Atmos Wireless surrounds.....not pictured. I can only add one picture. Got mine for $199. Sounds like it should be $1000. I'm VERY impressed. https://preview.redd.it/9vhhnc6bbm7g1.jpeg?width=2296&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e806e31c1b755874ed20330ae1db40b23e9bcb6

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.....👍

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!

So I got both. The ultimea sounds waaaaaay better. Returned the Vizio. It does feel and look cheap but the sound is really good. The sub won't knock your socks off so temper your expectations but it makes watching a movie really pleasant with Dolby atmos. Perfect for a smaller room

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.

Ultimea is not bad, but these cheap ones keep firing bass lol

Ultimea for me. Bought last year D80 boom. But if you prefer with height up firing Speakers get the sky wave x series. Besides affordability without breaking a bank but standard Dolby Atmos speakers is my preference for now. But if you have extra budget. Get the bar 800mk2 or 1000 of JBL. With regards to your preferred brand against LG, Sony theater 6 is better but extra functionality of Sony features will require Sony TV. Nevertheless its all good. Check also Polk magnifi series.

I just bought 2 to try out. Trash. The sound isn't great, vocals get drowned out.

I just got the Onn 5.1.2 from Walmart for $199 and I was really impressed. It has a woofer, 2 wireless rear speakers, and up-firing speakers. The room filling sound is great when you watch a film in Dolby Atmos. Don't knock it because it is a Walmart brand. It is very likely that it is built by a name brand company. I tried 3 other soundbars and this one was the best by far. By the way stay away from Ultimea. The sound isn't great.
