Almost a 5-star
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I 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.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Pros mentioned:Bass, Price, Sound qualityLove 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.

Best Surround Sound I Have Ever Experienced!
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Surround soundI have had Kenwood 5.1 wired and Samsung 5.1 wireless surround sound systems over the last 10 years. I watched and read countless reviews and demonstrations before pulling the trigger on the 7.2.4 kit. I really wanted the 9.2.4, however my 15x15 room didnt have room for the extra pair of surround speakers and I was already happy with my single powered 8" sub. The Nakamichi 7.2.4 is "out of this world" ridiculous in regards to sound quality. Definitely exceeded my expectations, even more so than my 70" 4K TV. 5-stars across the board! Note* Please include a software update that would display the time during idle instead of "ARC" :-)

Amazing sound at a great price
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I've had these speakers for a month now and I must say I'm blown away. I had the Definitive Technologies Studio Slim as well as the Studio Advance before I got this Nakamichi set. I would say this Nakamichi beats the DT soundbars hands down in sound quality, build quality, sound technology and price. You get so much more for the same price as the Definitive speakers. It has amazing sound. It does an incredible job with 7.1 and Atmos. Even 2.0 movies come alive thanks to upmixing. The sound is extremely immersive. You'll end up looking over your shoulder to see what's going on back there. Very easy setup. The manual and quickstart guides are excellent and easy to follow. The remote can be a little intimidating, but the manual explains everything very clearly. I wish the display was a little better, but you get used to it. Best Buy shipped the speakers to me a day ahead of schedule which was great. Everything arrived in excellent shape.

Thoroughly Impressed

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I researched many soundbar systems before deciding on the Nakamichi 7.2.4 Shockwafe system and I honestly could not be happier! The build quality of the soundbar and subwoofers is apparent right out of the box and although the speakers felt lighter than I expected, they perform as expected. The simplicity of the remote allows you to make adjustments on the fly and response time is excellent. My only regret is not upgrading to the 9.2.4 system for the additional surround speakers, but this system fills my living room (16 x 20) completely and is clearly heard from the patio as well. I highly recommend this system, especially at the price point and would buy again without reservations!

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Sound qualityJust hooked up my Nakamichi Shockwafe 7.2. I ordered this unit without even hearing it in person. Went solely on reviews and YouTube videos to base my decision. Not disappointed one bit! Hooked it up and started playing Call of Duty and the sounds coming from all around me is amazing! The bass is controllable via the remote and is in no way overwhelming. As a matter of fact, you NEED 2 subs to complete the sound. I HIGHLY recommend!!!

Q: QuestionIs there a sound delay on the 7.2 like they are saying on the 9.2? Also if there is are they planning on working on an upgrade to fix this?
Asked by Willimcrazy.
- A:Answer YES, there is a major sound delay up to 300MS. Most of the delay is when ATMOS is turned on and stems from the rear wireless speakers. The system is completely unusable for watching movies due to the delay. Watching music videos is quite hilarious though, some songs end on screen a whole beat before the sound hits. I do not believe there is a way to correct this with updates since it's a driver issue from weak processors. I noticed that when pushing 1080P content, the sound was more responsive than 4K, which tells me the processor is handling everything and cannot keep up. They would physically need to beef up the processor in order to make this work within acceptable levels. The LAG between the 7.2 and the 9.2 system would be identical due to the wireless feature of the system.

Q: QuestionIs this system truly wireless? all components??
Asked by Nakamichi724System.
- A:Answer No, the rear surround speakers are wired to the same side subs. The subs then connect to the wall outlet for power.

Q: QuestionIs this sound bar capable with the Xbox series x? Does it support hdmi 2.1?
Asked by Geekoh.
- A:Answer I asked the same question and got the following response from Nakamichi!....... Thank you for reaching out to Nakamichi! After hearing from our customers that are lucky enough to have one, you cannot do a passthrough with the ps5, the ps5 will have to be plugged into the tv, then the TV will process the audio and send it to the soundbar. There's pretty much no soundbar on the market that can do a 4k 120 hz passthrough. Thank you for your interest in our brand!

Q: QuestionIf you are using this system to listen to music only, does the sound come out of the soundbar only, or does it also come out of the subs and the rear speakers?

Q: QuestionDoes this system need an AV receiver?
Asked by Valuehunter50.
- A:Answer No, run ARC from TV to soundbar, run your media device to soundbar and thats pretty much it. I have a shield connected to mine and it to the TV. Any smart features play from TV to soundbar and media from Shield goes through soundbar to TV. It made a very clean setup for me. A huge plus being wireless subs and the satellite speakers are wired above subs, but ultimately a clean setup and easy install.

Q: QuestionIs this system truly wireless??
Asked by Matt.
- A:Answer No... it needs three power plugs - one for the soundbar and two for the subs. The subs connect to the rear speakers via a very long 18 foot plus cable. The connection between the subs and soundbar is wireless... however, it causes about a 160-180MS lag, so you need to adjust the response time with the system on the center speakers - this will also increase the lag from the TV screen to the sound so you'll never get a good picture-sound match. Everyone on screen will be done talking, but still ending their sentence through the sound system. There's also the HDMI and optical cables that connect from your TV to the devise. The system allows for 3 additional HDMI inputs or for your to direct the sound out of your TV to the devise. The least amount of LAG is to input everything you can to the soundbar directly and carry the video through the system to the TV, doing it the other way creates even more lag. Hope it helps.

Q: QuestionI just purchased this unit and was wondering if I will need to do the firmware update myself or it will it come updated out of the box?
Asked by Isaac.
- A:Answer I purchased the same system last month. I verified the firmware (which is pretty easy to do btw) and it was already set with the current firmware version. I imagine your unit will be the same, but it doesn't hurt to verify this.
