ULTIMEA2.2ch Sound Bar for Smart TV, Peak Power 100W, 2-in-1 Detachable Soundbar for TV, Bluetooth 5.3 TV Sound Bar, 3 EQ Modes, Bass Adjustable, App, HDMI ARC/Optical/Aux/Wall Mount, Apollo S40

This is a great buy. It’s affordable and has good sound. It’s not the most amazing sound ever, but it’s $50 so you have to expect that. They seem like a very good company and their more expensive audio systems for tv are probably really good and way cheaper than other brands.

Don’t be deterred by the sound bar’s low price. It significantly improves the sound coming from the TV. Plus there are two features that make this sound bar a bargain. First, the sound bar is easy to install, and I’m an electronics idiot. The sound bar comes with five different connection cables. If one doesn’t work, you can keep trying until you find a connection that works. Got it right the second try.Secondly, the remote buttons do exactly what you expect them to do, volume up, mute, power down, etc. The first sound bar I bought meshed itself with the TV sound so thoroughly that muting the sound on the sound bar affected the TV sound and sound bar simultaneously. Other glitches occurred, like the remote power button not powering down the sound bar.I was really impressed at the sound improvement with this sound bar. Okay, it doesn’t have all the components of the more expensive bars, but it improves the room sound and makes dialog easier to understand. Technogeniuses will sneer, but I’m happy.

Just hooked this up. Set up was a breeze. Used HDMI eARC as source from Samsung 65" TV. It immediately sensed the input source without even selecting it on the remote. I'm also able to control the volume through the ROKU remote. The Bass is weak, but sound is clear. Can't ask for too much considering the economical cost. Bottom line, can't say anything about longevity, but I would recommend this as a really good basic sound bar.

Update 20MAR2025The customer support is EXCELLENT! I thought they were done with me and that my comments/criticism fell on deaf ears -- the way most companies react.Ultimea read my comments below and have reached out to me in a most impressive way.Irrespective of my personal preferences regarding their formatting, such service warrants 5 stars!ORIGINAL REVIEW:Not a fan of the formatting.I bought another brand and it was always clear what was happening:red light = offblue light = on using bluetoothgreen light = on when using wire connection.Soft voice also announced. (It had connection issues, though; sometimes it wouldn't connect by bluetooth or wire).This unit only uses little white lights in different formations and a 2-beat tone to indicate the status of the speakers.Customer service is decent.

I honestly can't believe 1 person would rate this as a good product. Day 1 I hooked this up for my father who has trouble hearing and the built in TV speakers are better than this piece of garbage. Day 2 it will not stay powered up at all, you turn it on and nothing, no sound, and it will power down. The package came in great shape and everything was secured prior to opening. Save your money and use it towards a higher quality sound bar, you may thank me.

My old sound system went out so this was a quick, cheap fix. It arrived quickly, packaged well and had easy to understand instructions. The sound is okay, not much better than the TV speaker, but at least comes out the front. Unless your TV has an HDMI ARC port it cannot be operated with a firestick remote and there’s no IR code to pair. My TV has several HDMI ports but no ARC. I must use the remote that came with it to adjust volume. If you want a lot of bass and surround sound, go with something different. Overall it does the job, you get what you pay for.

Great Sound Bar

Pros it is cheap set; up is easy, gets pretty loud.Cons the sound quality is not good. I was expecting something like a $50 portable speaker; it is not. Has little bass;
