This sounds super exciting! Love how Ultimea always finds creative ways to get the community involved. The Skywave X series already looks amazing, and this campaign just makes the wait even more fun.

Can’t wait to see everyone’s unboxing shots and first impressions - it’s always great to hear real user experiences instead of just specs on paper. Mine hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m definitely joining in once it does!

Isn't X60 supposed to start shipping tomorrow?

Due to unforeseen delays in international logistics, we are unable to complete shipment as originally planned for early October. After urgent coordination, the latest estimated delivery time has been adjusted to early November.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and delay caused to you.

When a scene like this physically reacts in your living room... it's more than just a sound, it's an experience. Perhaps you can share this scene with the community so more people can experience it!

Ultimea Skywave X70 Soundbar Review: A Dark Horse Challenging the Giants​

The Ultimea Skywave X70 enters the arena not just as another budget-friendly soundbar, but as a potential dark horse. With specifications that read like a high-end model—a 7.1.4 channel configuration and a formidable 10-inch subwoofer—it makes bold promises. After extensive testing, it's clear that this system isn't just playing the game; it's changing it, directly challenging established leaders from Samsung, LG, and even premium setups from Sonos.

---

Design & Build Quality: Substantial and Purposeful​

The Skywave X70 commands presence. The soundbar itself is a substantial 110 cm unit, designed to complement larger televisions (65-inch and above) without looking diminutive. It retains a sleek, matte-black aesthetic with a fabric grille, ensuring it remains unobtrusive in a sophisticated home cinema setup.

• The Subwoofer: This is a key differentiator. The wireless 10-inch subwoofer is an absolute beast. Its larger driver and cabinet, compared to the typical 6.5-inch or 8-inch models in this category, signal a serious commitment to low-frequency performance. This isn't a subtle bass module; it's a foundation-shaker that needs to be respected and properly calibrated.
• Connectivity & Features: The connectivity is robust but has one notable caveat. The single HDMI input supports HDR passthrough but lacks support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+. This is a consideration for videophiles with next-gen media players. A significant omission for home cinema enthusiasts is the lack of native DTS audio support. The effective workaround is to set your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, NVIDIA Shield) to output PCM, allowing the Skywave X70's own highly convincing upmixer to take over and create a wide, immersive soundstage from the source material.

Design Verdict: A well-built, substantial system that feels designed for performance first. The connectivity is its main compromise, requiring users to be mindful of their source device settings.

---

Performance & Features: Immersive Power with Quirks​

This is where the X70 truly separates itself from the mid-range pack and enters the conversation with flagship models.

• 7.1.4 Immersion: The channel count is not just a marketing gimmick. The combination of side-firing and up-firing drivers creates a remarkably expansive and immersive soundstage. The bubble of sound is tangible, with clear directionality for effects like rain, aircraft flyovers, and ambient battlefield noises. It goes far beyond simple stereo widening, delivering a genuinely convincing hemispheric audio experience.
• The DTS Workaround: While the lack of native DTS support is a definite con, the internal upmixer is exceptionally good. When fed a PCM signal from high-quality source material, it processes the audio with such skill that many users may not feel they are missing out, as the resulting soundfield is wide, detailed, and engaging.
• The Accompanying App & Sound Profiles: The soundbar is supported by an excellent mobile app that provides deep control over the audio experience. Beyond basic volume, you get a 9-band equalizer for precise tweaking of bass, mid, and treble frequencies, which is particularly useful for fine-tuning music playback.
  The app offers nine pre-set sound profiles, but their quality varies significantly. In practice, the "Standard" and "Cinema" modes are the clear standouts, delivering a dynamic, detailed, and spacious sound that fully utilizes the system's capabilities. Other modes, such as "Voice" and "Music," sound noticeably flatter and less engaging, lacking the depth and detail that make this soundbar special. It's best to find your preferred profile between "Standard" and "Cinema" and use the EQ for minor adjustments.
• A Significant Bug: There is a notable firmware issue that needs urgent attention. When the soundbar is powered on from standby, it can occasionally produce a brief, deafeningly loud burst of sound before correctly reverting to the set volume level. This is a jarring and unacceptable flaw that Ultimea must address via a firmware update as a priority.

Performance Verdict: The core performance is spectacular, rivaling systems like the Samsung Q990F and LG S95QR in its ability to create an immersive 3D audio space. The app is a powerful tool, though the sound profiles are a mixed bag. The initial audio bug and the DTS workaround are important considerations.

Sound Quality & Music Connectivity: Powerful, But a Missed Opportunity​

The sonic character of the X70 is a revelation, defined by its powerful subwoofer and neutral-warm tonal balance.

• For Film & TV: This is an absolute powerhouse. The 10-inch subwoofer doesn't just add bass; it defines the experience. It can "make or break" the sound: when poorly calibrated, it can overwhelm and muddy the mid-range, but once correctly integrated, it is breathtaking. It delivers deep, authoritative, and distortion-free basslines that you feel in your chest. From the subtle rumble of an idling engine to the cataclysmic impact of an explosion, it handles everything with power and control. The soundbar itself provides a neutral-warm tonal balance, ensuring dialogue remains clear and natural without ever sounding harsh or sibilant, even at high volumes. Using the "Cinema" or "Standard" mode is crucial for this.
• Stability is a Key Strength: A significant advantage over some competitors (including noted issues with the Sonos Arc in complex setups) is its rock-solid stability. Even when processing high-bitrate audio via passthrough from demanding 8K media players, the X70 exhibited zero dropouts, hiccups, or digital compression artifacts. This reliability is a major win for home cinema purists.
• For Music & Connectivity: The performance is robust and engaging. While the dedicated "Music" profile is underwhelming, using the "Standard" mode with adjustments from the excellent 9-band EQ in the app yields fantastic results.
  For wireless music, you are limited to Bluetooth 5.2. To its credit, the implementation is solid; the connection is stable and the sound quality is actually quite good, preserving much of the detail and power of the system. However, in a product that so clearly aims for the high-end, the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity feels like a missed opportunity. Come on, Ultimea, give us the Wi-Fi option! This omission means no multi-room audio, no direct streaming from services like Spotify Connect or Tidal, and a generally less integrated smart experience than competitors like Sonos. It's a capable but ultimately basic wireless solution for a truly advanced sound system.

Sound Quality Verdict: A stellar cinematic performer with a subwoofer that competes in a class above. Its tonal balance is pleasing, and its operational stability is best-in-class. It requires careful setup to tame the subwoofer and the right choice of sound profile. For music, it sounds excellent once tuned, but its wireless connectivity is its Achilles' Heel, relying on good-but-not-great Bluetooth.

---

The Final Conclusion​

The Ultimea Skywave X70 is not a mere incremental upgrade; it is a statement. It forces a re-evaluation of what is possible in its price segment.

Pros:

• Class-leading immersion with a genuine 7.1.4 soundstage.
• A monstrous, high-performance 10-inch subwoofer that, when calibrated correctly, is sublime.
• Pleasing, neutral-warm tonal balance with excellent dialogue clarity (in "Standard"/"Cinema" mode).
• Flawless stability with high-bitrate sources, a notable advantage over some rivals.
• Excellent companion app with a powerful 9-band equalizer.
• Exceptional value, directly challenging flagship models from Samsung and LG.

Cons:

• Critical firmware bug with a loud audio pop when powering on from standby.
• Lack of native DTS support is a con, despite the excellent PCM upmixing workaround.
• No Dolby Vision or HDR10+ passthrough on the HDMI input.
• Most of the pre-set sound profiles ("Voice", "Music") sound flat and lackluster.
• No Wi-Fi connectivity, limiting music streaming to Bluetooth and forfeiting multi-room capabilities.

Who is this for?
The Ultimea Skywave X70 is for the home cinema enthusiast who prioritizes raw acoustic performance and immersive stability over smart features and wireless convenience. It is for someone willing to spend time calibrating the system via its excellent app, understanding that the best sound comes from the "Standard" or "Cinema" profiles, and who doesn't mind using Bluetooth as their primary wireless music source. If you want a system that goes toe-to-toe with flagship models in sheer sonic impact for significantly less money, this is arguably the soundbar of the year.

Final Word: Despite its quirks, particularly the urgent need for a firmware update and the notable lack of Wi-Fi, the Ultimea Skywave X70 is a phenomenal achievement. Once calibrated, it doesn't just compete with the high-end; it defines the new benchmark for value in the high-performance soundbar market. Highly recommended for home cinema purists, with the caveat of awaiting a crucial firmware fix and accepting its Bluetooth-only music limitations.

Final Word: Despite its quirks, particularly the urgent need for a firmware update and the notable lack of Wi-Fi, the Ultimea Skywave X70 is a phenomenal achievement. Once calibrated, it doesn't just compete with the high-end; it defines the new benchmark for value in the high-performance soundbar market. Highly recommended for home cinema purists, with the caveat of awaiting a crucial firmware fix and accepting its Bluetooth-only music limitations.

It provides truly valuable insights for anyone considering a purchase—especially your in-depth analysis of the app's EQ controls and the actual performance of each sound profile.

Ultimea Skywave X70 Soundbar Review: A Dark Horse Challenging the Giants​

The Ultimea Skywave X70 enters the arena not just as another budget-friendly soundbar, but as a potential dark horse. With specifications that read like a high-end model—a 7.1.4 channel configuration and a formidable 10-inch subwoofer—it makes bold promises. After extensive testing, it's clear that this system isn't just playing the game; it's changing it, directly challenging established leaders from Samsung, LG, and even premium setups from Sonos.

---

Design & Build Quality: Substantial and Purposeful​

The Skywave X70 commands presence. The soundbar itself is a substantial 110 cm unit, designed to complement larger televisions (65-inch and above) without looking diminutive. It retains a sleek, matte-black aesthetic with a fabric grille, ensuring it remains unobtrusive in a sophisticated home cinema setup.

• The Subwoofer: This is a key differentiator. The wireless 10-inch subwoofer is an absolute beast. Its larger driver and cabinet, compared to the typical 6.5-inch or 8-inch models in this category, signal a serious commitment to low-frequency performance. This isn't a subtle bass module; it's a foundation-shaker that needs to be respected and properly calibrated.
• Connectivity & Features: The connectivity is robust but has one notable caveat. The single HDMI input supports HDR passthrough but lacks support for Dolby Vision and HDR10+. This is a consideration for videophiles with next-gen media players. A significant omission for home cinema enthusiasts is the lack of native DTS audio support. The effective workaround is to set your source device (e.g., Blu-ray player, NVIDIA Shield) to output PCM, allowing the Skywave X70's own highly convincing upmixer to take over and create a wide, immersive soundstage from the source material.

Design Verdict: A well-built, substantial system that feels designed for performance first. The connectivity is its main compromise, requiring users to be mindful of their source device settings.

---

Performance & Features: Immersive Power with Quirks​

This is where the X70 truly separates itself from the mid-range pack and enters the conversation with flagship models.

• 7.1.4 Immersion: The channel count is not just a marketing gimmick. The combination of side-firing and up-firing drivers creates a remarkably expansive and immersive soundstage. The bubble of sound is tangible, with clear directionality for effects like rain, aircraft flyovers, and ambient battlefield noises. It goes far beyond simple stereo widening, delivering a genuinely convincing hemispheric audio experience.
• The DTS Workaround: While the lack of native DTS support is a definite con, the internal upmixer is exceptionally good. When fed a PCM signal from high-quality source material, it processes the audio with such skill that many users may not feel they are missing out, as the resulting soundfield is wide, detailed, and engaging.
• The Accompanying App & Sound Profiles: The soundbar is supported by an excellent mobile app that provides deep control over the audio experience. Beyond basic volume, you get a 9-band equalizer for precise tweaking of bass, mid, and treble frequencies, which is particularly useful for fine-tuning music playback.
  The app offers nine pre-set sound profiles, but their quality varies significantly. In practice, the "Standard" and "Cinema" modes are the clear standouts, delivering a dynamic, detailed, and spacious sound that fully utilizes the system's capabilities. Other modes, such as "Voice" and "Music," sound noticeably flatter and less engaging, lacking the depth and detail that make this soundbar special. It's best to find your preferred profile between "Standard" and "Cinema" and use the EQ for minor adjustments.
• A Significant Bug: There is a notable firmware issue that needs urgent attention. When the soundbar is powered on from standby, it can occasionally produce a brief, deafeningly loud burst of sound before correctly reverting to the set volume level. This is a jarring and unacceptable flaw that Ultimea must address via a firmware update as a priority.

Performance Verdict: The core performance is spectacular, rivaling systems like the Samsung Q990F and LG S95QR in its ability to create an immersive 3D audio space. The app is a powerful tool, though the sound profiles are a mixed bag. The initial audio bug and the DTS workaround are important considerations.

Sound Quality & Music Connectivity: Powerful, But a Missed Opportunity​

The sonic character of the X70 is a revelation, defined by its powerful subwoofer and neutral-warm tonal balance.

• For Film & TV: This is an absolute powerhouse. The 10-inch subwoofer doesn't just add bass; it defines the experience. It can "make or break" the sound: when poorly calibrated, it can overwhelm and muddy the mid-range, but once correctly integrated, it is breathtaking. It delivers deep, authoritative, and distortion-free basslines that you feel in your chest. From the subtle rumble of an idling engine to the cataclysmic impact of an explosion, it handles everything with power and control. The soundbar itself provides a neutral-warm tonal balance, ensuring dialogue remains clear and natural without ever sounding harsh or sibilant, even at high volumes. Using the "Cinema" or "Standard" mode is crucial for this.
• Stability is a Key Strength: A significant advantage over some competitors (including noted issues with the Sonos Arc in complex setups) is its rock-solid stability. Even when processing high-bitrate audio via passthrough from demanding 8K media players, the X70 exhibited zero dropouts, hiccups, or digital compression artifacts. This reliability is a major win for home cinema purists.
• For Music & Connectivity: The performance is robust and engaging. While the dedicated "Music" profile is underwhelming, using the "Standard" mode with adjustments from the excellent 9-band EQ in the app yields fantastic results.
  For wireless music, you are limited to Bluetooth 5.2. To its credit, the implementation is solid; the connection is stable and the sound quality is actually quite good, preserving much of the detail and power of the system. However, in a product that so clearly aims for the high-end, the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity feels like a missed opportunity. Come on, Ultimea, give us the Wi-Fi option! This omission means no multi-room audio, no direct streaming from services like Spotify Connect or Tidal, and a generally less integrated smart experience than competitors like Sonos. It's a capable but ultimately basic wireless solution for a truly advanced sound system.

Sound Quality Verdict: A stellar cinematic performer with a subwoofer that competes in a class above. Its tonal balance is pleasing, and its operational stability is best-in-class. It requires careful setup to tame the subwoofer and the right choice of sound profile. For music, it sounds excellent once tuned, but its wireless connectivity is its Achilles' Heel, relying on good-but-not-great Bluetooth.

The Final Conclusion​

The Ultimea Skywave X70 is not a mere incremental upgrade; it is a statement. It forces a re-evaluation of what is possible in its price segment.

Pros:

• Class-leading immersion with a genuine 7.1.4 soundstage.
• A monstrous, high-performance 10-inch subwoofer that, when calibrated correctly, is sublime.
• Pleasing, neutral-warm tonal balance with excellent dialogue clarity (in "Standard"/"Cinema" mode).
• Flawless stability with high-bitrate sources, a notable advantage over some rivals.
• Excellent companion app with a powerful 9-band equalizer.
• Exceptional value, directly challenging flagship models from Samsung and LG.

Cons:

• Critical firmware bug with a loud audio pop when powering on from standby.
• Lack of native DTS support is a con, despite the excellent PCM upmixing workaround.
• No Dolby Vision or HDR10+ passthrough on the HDMI input.
• Most of the pre-set sound profiles ("Voice", "Music") sound flat and lackluster.
• No Wi-Fi connectivity, limiting music streaming to Bluetooth and forfeiting multi-room capabilities.

Who is this for?
The Ultimea Skywave X70 is for the home cinema enthusiast who prioritizes raw acoustic performance and immersive stability over smart features and wireless convenience. It is for someone willing to spend time calibrating the system via its excellent app, understanding that the best sound comes from the "Standard" or "Cinema" profiles, and who doesn't mind using Bluetooth as their primary wireless music source. If you want a system that goes toe-to-toe with flagship models in sheer sonic impact for significantly less money, this is arguably the soundbar of the year.

Final Word: Despite its quirks, particularly the urgent need for a firmware update and the notable lack of Wi-Fi, the Ultimea Skywave X70 is a phenomenal achievement. Once calibrated, it doesn't just compete with the high-end; it defines the new benchmark for value in the high-performance soundbar market. Highly recommended for home cinema purists, with the caveat of awaiting a crucial firmware fix and accepting its Bluetooth-only music limitations.

Challenging Samsung and LG's flagships with a mid-range price? If the actual performance is 80% as good as it's claimed, it's worth it.

Performance wise is the full 100 % no doubt but like it said there are some key features missing (voice assistant -wireless music streaming and dts support) if these are no objects of concern this Skywave X70 is a no brainer. Period!
