Best system for the price!
Love my 7.2.4, worth every penny. I have a LG CX48 and Xbox One X hooked up to it. The hardest part was getting the ARC to work properly. The subs have cut out once since owning but was almost unnoticeable. The DTS, Dolby, etc all have their strengths and weaknesses to have options is awesome. It does take a while to dial in your sound to your taste. The HDMI ports run a bit warm but i keep a fan on it like I do most of my electronics. Compared to my Bose and Samsung 5.1 it is amazing. I love bass but have to keep it at zero or 1 when someone is home. Its not muddy or flat. Very close to a theater bass and clarity. Definitely recommend this! I was thinking sonos but didn't want to spend double for maybe a slightly better sound.

Almost a 5-star
I typically perform extensive research before buying a product especially if it is a long-term investment. I considered a number of products before finalizing SHOCKWAFE ELITE 7.2 SSE. I have a decent size living room and I didn't want wires running around the room for connecting the speakers and therefore ruled out any system that required wiring. SHOCKWAFE ELITE 7.2 SSE is convenient because there are two separate subwoofers and the rear speakers are wired connected to the respective subwoofer making it clean and tidy. I am quite satisfied with the purchased, the only two issues I have is 1. When playing songs from Bluetooth, sometimes there is a 2 second loss of sound at the beginning of every song - I contacted Nakamichi and all they did was blame it on Bluetooth technology - I have not experienced this with Bose or Harman Kardon speakers and 2. For the price, the speakers don't support FLAC. The only other soundbar that I was impressed is Sony HTZ9F but it is way to expensive for a 3.1 speaker system with one subwoofer and no rear speakers.

Fine Product!
I have an oddly shaped living room in that the center kitchen island causes the entire room to have a diagonal axis. End result is that the seating/tv viewing area is a trapezoid. I have always used a traditional receiver and speakers combination for my home theater (was once THX Certified) but this room couldn't really handle the speaker mounting for surrounds. At least not easily. Enter the Nakamichi. The wireless dual subs with the accompanying wired surrounds are exactly what this room needed. And the sound is freaking phenomenal! I haven't had an opportunity yet to check all the bells ad whistles on this product, but for theater use, it is exemplary. I don't have much experience with soundbars, and this one may be a bit pricey, but I can all but guarantee that you won't be unhappy with this selection.

Mr Abi
Good quality sound. And this review is coming from someone who’s used to Bose surround speakers, velodyne subwoofer, Klipsch center speaker and Denon receiver. These systems I put together over 14 years ago before Bluetooth. So I was looking for something different without all these wires. Meanwhile, I bought this new big screen TV but the sound on it is terrible. So went to Bestbuy to buy sound bar but without me checking any reviews so I bought two different systems that I had to return because of the sound quality. Then I came across Nakamichi sound bar. Wow! This system is great value for the price. I will highly recommend this sound system to friends.

Honest review bass is lacking
Honestly left lacking in many departments. The 2 subs is more of a gimmick then ground shaking bass. Ive had this a couple of months and im goimg to have to replace it due to the left channel being blown. The voice clarity is honesty very good, I've owned a lot of soundbars and this one really has great voice clarity. One thing that I seen in other reviews is the always on screen. I figured i wouldnt mind it but I do and its very bright! The hdmi ports are nice to have and it recognizes everything sourced to them. The best thing of all, the huge remote! Yes the huge remote im so sick of little remotes falling in the coach blending in with things lol! This remote is huge and literally cant be lost. Easy to hookup and looks great in the living room. Ive heard of an update to fix some sound issues but haven't tried it yet. I do have this all ran via HDMI arc from a 2021 LG OLED C series. I would definitely recommend this over other brands just because of the voice clarity and ease of use. But if you want to spen like 5-600$ more get the bose 900 but make sure you add the rear speakers. The rear speakers with this system are huge and the due sound good. Really the main issue for me is the bass. I wish i could adjust the subs only instead of the bass thoughout the system.
