Best system for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unboxing and setup were very easy. However I started off with connectivity issues. The subs and rear speakers where phasing in and out really bad. I went to the customer support page and downloaded the software onto a usb thumb drive and updated the brand new system. I changed the frequency to the dedicated frequency. Speakers now work sometimes and other times I get crackles and pops. I contacted Nakashima customer support who showed me how to pair the speakers and walked me through some trouble shooting steps. End result I was told they would send me an email on how to change my router chanel settings. I spent an entire day trying to set this up. Bottom line I’m going to return this set up. The 600.00 Vizio set up I was trying to replace set up right of the box and never had one issue.

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: QuestionDo the two rear speakers generate Dolby Atmos sound like the sound bar?
Asked by John.
- A:Answer In the manual that you can find on Nakmichi website for the 7.2.4 it says you can lay the surround speakers down tilted upward to enhance the vertical effect. I just received my system on January 3, 2020 and if you are listening to Dolby Atmos you will hear more sounds from the rear speakers than you would with traditional 5.1 or 7.1 playback. To make sure you get the full effect of Dolby Atmos make sure to use the SSE button and make sure that Surround is active on the system. I have attached the manual for you hope this helps.

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: 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'll mainly be using nvidia shield as my source. Verizon fios sometimes. Subs 11 feet away. Will I lose connectivity?
Asked by Connection.
- A:Answer No. My subs are about 20 feet away from the soundbar, and I have no issues.
Answered by Gunny
Q: QuestionIf the subwoofers are not wired to the sound bar, how do they communicate or pair with the soundbar: via Bluetooth or via wifi?
Asked by Blaise.
- A:Answer Bluetooth that pairs when system is turned on. A flashing blue led will change to solid blue within a second on power up.
