Hey folks,
After spending the weekend putting the Ultimea Skywave X70 through its paces, I can honestly say I'm blown away. I've used several soundbar systems, including premium offerings from brands like Samsung, and even Ultimea's own Nova S90 (which I previously loved), but the Skywave X70 has genuinely "blown my mind." This system doesn't just deliver sound; it creates an experience that is truly cinematic and profoundly immersive.
First Impressions & Unboxing: Premium from the Start
From the moment the package arrived, it was clear that Ultimea wasn't cutting corners. The packaging itself looked and felt premium, with everything meticulously protected in custom-cut foam. This attention to detail immediately set a high expectation. All the necessary accessories were included – power cords, wall mounts, and even properly-labelled cables for all the speakers – showcasing a thoughtful design geared towards a seamless user experience. The build quality of the soundbar itself is solid, and the subtle, classy gold trim adds a touch of elegance that rivals much more expensive units. It's a product that looks premium, an important factor for any home theater setup.
Effortless Setup for a Full 7.1.4 System
Setting up the Skywave X70 was remarkably "dead-easy," taking me maybe 5 minutes from unboxing to having sound. The main soundbar, while modular and arriving in three pieces that slot together, connects without affecting sound quality. The truly standout feature here is its fully wireless multi-channel design. The rear speakers and the substantial 10-inch subwoofer are not restricted by cords, giving you full flexibility to place them anywhere in the room to optimize your surround sound experience. This wireless design means no cable clutter and a clean aesthetic, a huge win for any home setup.
The Sound: Immersive, Powerful, and Crystal Clear
Now, onto the main event: the sound. The Skywave X70 is a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos system, featuring 12 speakers in total, including four dedicated up-firing drivers for height. This configuration isn't just for show; it delivers "true cinema-grade immersion".
• Dolby Atmos Performance: What truly distinguishes the X70, especially with Dolby Atmos content from streaming platforms, is the incredible overhead realism. Those four up-firing height speakers do an impressive job, making sounds appear to move not just around, but up and over you, creating a significant vertical sound stage. Dialogue is also noticeably raised into the screen, making for a much more natural viewing experience. The system's ability to create this sense of space and movement is something that even some $2K+ soundbars fail to nail.
• The Bass You Can Feel: The 10-inch dual-magnet subwoofer with Gravus Ultra-Linear Bass is an absolute beast. It extends down to a rated 20 Hz, and believe me, that low-end extension isn't marketing fluff – it's physical. I could literally feel the rumble through my living room walls during intense action scenes, providing powerful yet tight bass without being boomy. This immense bass output is one of the first things you notice, contributing significantly to that "awesome" cinematic experience.
• Clarity and Detail: Beyond the raw power, the X70 maintains excellent audio clarity. Dialogue, thanks to its dedicated center channel, cuts through even in heavy action scenes, ensuring you never miss a word. The system supports high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192 kHz due to its NEURACORE engine, resulting in more accurate and lower distortion sound reproduction. This translates to crisp highs and powerful lows across the entire 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency range. I also appreciated its performance with lossless music over Bluetooth, offering a surprisingly open stereo stage.
Intuitive Control with a Polished App
The Ultimea Skywave X70 offers comprehensive control, not just through its included IR remote, but also via a polished mobile app. The app is functional and user-friendly, allowing you to easily adjust volume, select sources (including Bluetooth 5.4). More importantly, it offers extensive EQ adjustments and sound effect customizations. You can choose from various preset listening modes like Movie, Music, Voice, Sport, Game, and Night, or dive deeper into customizing the EQ range to perfectly match your preferences and room acoustics. The ability to specifically adjust surround and up-firing sounds is particularly useful for fine-tuning the immersive experience based on your seating position. There's even an xupmix button to provide a vertical sound stage for non-Dolby signals.
Unbeatable Value: Competing with the Best
What truly makes the Skywave X70 remarkable is its incredible value for money. This system, with its 980 W peak power and advanced features, genuinely stands in competition with other premium soundbars from brands like Samsung and Sony. Having previously owned Samsung soundbars, I can attest that the X70 really gives a tough fight to them at the price point. It delivers a level of immersion and functionality that is comparable to top-model soundbar systems that are well over $1,000, making its sub-$1,000 price point truly astonishing. Ultimea has a track record of delivering impressive value, as seen with products like the Poseidon D80 Boom, Nova S90, and the Skywave X70 undoubtedly continues this legacy, leaving me honestly shocked by its quality and performance for the price.
Conclusion
The Ultimea Skywave X70 isn't just an upgrade; it's a transformation of your home theater audio. Its combination of premium design, effortless wireless setup, genuinely immersive 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos sound, powerful bass, crystal-clear dialogue, and extensive customization options makes it an absolute standout. If you're looking for a high quality home theater experience without the typical price tag or wiring complexities, the Skywave X70 is an outstanding choice that will surely blow your mind too.
I have attached a video below for few scenes showing sound quality, obviously the video wont do justice to the sound quality but make sure to listen in with earphones.
