Nakamichi knocks it out of the park again! Would have given 5 stars, but the interface can be cumbersome.

Amazing soundng and wonderful if you dont want to put apeakers in your wall! Highly recommend for those who want an amazing system. Great sounding for a wireless surround sound speakers

I have bought so many electronics from Best Buy in the last 20 years and this is by far the biggest waste of money I have ever spent. The product works no doubt about that so this isnt a review about a faulty product but my Yamaha surround system that I was using was 1/3 of the price and superior in every way! I could not believe it either i have talked to so many people in product support and tech service to try and optimize my settings and like I said it works but for the price I never imagined I would be making such a downgrade. I'm extremely disappointed

Best sound system ive ever owned. Very clear. Geek Squad set it up in 30 minutes or less.

I had this system for under a year and it does not sound like a 1300W system anymore. I've messed around with the settings and moving the subs around and nothing. I would never buy from this brand again.

Good value. Very clear setup instructions. Deep bass.

My first ever sound system, and it's probably the only sound system I'll ever need! As someone who loves bass, this sound system is incredible! At even a low volume it absolutely shakes my entire house, I'm not even joking! I step outside and can still feel the bass! The sound is crystal clear even through the bass, and for movies and games it is so responsive and the sound truly immerses you! The setup took less than 10 minutes, and the customer service is incredible! It is the most advanced technology by far with eARC and all the channels and dual subwoofer technology. And for those wondering, the sound system looks beautiful and fits into any home.

I was shopping for a new soundbar to complement my new 4K projector. I had purchased a Nakamichi soundbar a few years ago and loved the great sound and power! So I was delighted they had a new version with 1300 watts of power and with a 9.2.4 channel configuration. But the best part is, it has all the latest tech specs to bring every movie and music to life: Bluetooth, ULTRA 9.2 eARC, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, the latest DTS…4KHDR and HDR10 and with incredible highs and lows! No need for a Sonos or a Bose…or an AVR!

I recently purchased the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2.4 Soundbar, and it has completely transformed my home audio experience! From the moment I set it up, I was blown away by the rich, clear sound. The bass is deep without being overwhelming, and the treble is crisp and well-balanced, making both music and movie dialogue crystal clear. Setting it up was incredibly easy and the design is sleek and modern. What really impressed me was the surround sound effect. It fills the room with immersive sound, and the volume never distorts, no matter how high I crank it up. If you’re looking for a soundbar that delivers top-notch sound quality, easy setup, and a stylish look, I can’t recommend this enough! Worth every penny.

My remote control to turn the system on or off does not work anymore. I called the company and tried to get some help and the person I talked too said I did not know what I was doing. My son set the system up for me he knows how to do it. Never again with Nakamichi.

I used to be a Bose fan. When I 1st hooked up my Nakamichi Shockwafe 9.2.4 Ch 1300-watt Soundbar System, I was amazed on how much the two 10-inch woofers added to my pleasure in movies and music!!! I also thought 4 surround speakers were probably unnecessary, but they are awesome. Whether it's theater-like surround sound in a movie or "All Speaker Stereo," with music, I find myself lost in the effects. My past love for Bose is gone. The: "No Highs, No Lows It Must Be Bose" saying is so true. Now I have those two 10 inchers pounding out Base like I've never heard before! I love the Shockwafe 9.2.4 system! It shakes the whole house! The only thing I can think of I would change if I could is: the wired surround speakers, plugged into the wireless Sub-Woofers. All wireless would be nice. But did I mention it only took 10 minutes to set it up? Everything you need is in the box and there's a 5-foot by 1-foot quick start guide. That's the first thing you see when you open the box. Then every question you could have is in the booklet of detailed directions. If all that is not enough, Nakamichi has the best customer service I've ever used by phone or chat! Now if I'm home, and awake, you will know it by the thumping base or crystal-clear music, you can hear from inside your car when you pull into my driveway.

First off, let's get real. The 9.2.4 1300 watt earc Shockwafe is NOT a sonic miracle machine. If the MP3 you're playing was originally recorded from an LP (like one MP3 I was recently listening to) and has pops and clicks in it from the LP recording, nothing short of an AI revolution can fix it. And trying to use a 9 channel surround sound system to play 2 channel digital sound isn't going to sound like you're in the middle of a live concert either. While the Shockwafe does have some settings to make 2 channel music sound pretty darn good, you do need to temper your expectations just a tad. One thing to remember: garbage in, garbage out! In addition, keep in mind this system runs on RF frequencies. Meaning if you're running a WIFI router, a wireless keyboard, a wireless mouse, and a wireless gaming joystick in close proximity to the main unit, chances are the RF will interfere in some manner. Also, you need to make sure you have a clear path between the main soundbar and the satellite woofers. Failure to heed this advice is going to lead to dropouts, pops, and other noise as well. What this thing can actually do, when set up correctly and with a good quality input, is produce amazing sound. I just got done watching the Christopher Nolan masterpiece 'Oppenhiemer' in 4k. Without giving too much away, at one point the shockwafe literally made the room shake while watching this movie. DVD's fell off the shelf under my 4k TV, and the wireless keyboard sitting on an arm on my recliner fell off and crashed to the ground. My response was very simple, "Oh My God!". And that was with the volume set to '20' on the soundbar. The rest of the movie wasn't that bad either, the voices were clear as a bell and the surround made you feel like you were in the middle of the movie scene. And don't believe what some reviews tell you about this needing to be in a cavernous living room to work either. This system is flexible enough to fit most size rooms, and still sound like a movie theatre. My satellite speakers are between 3-5' away from me, and it still sounds awesome. Don't believe the haters. This soundbar system is as good as any out there. Just don't expect literal miracles, and you'll be really happy. I know I am.

DO NOT PURCHASE. You will regret. Nonexistant support and poor wifi implementation. Go read reddit reviews. Not a good product. Please save yourself the trouble. Ill sell you mine... year old... great price...

I finally jumped the gun after months of watching reviews on this system. Let me just say, I should have done it as soon as I heard about it. The sound this system gives is phenomenal!! Literally feels like you’re at the movies. The setup is really simple as well. Took me, maybe, about an hour and that was only because I kept changing my mind on where I wanted the speakers placed. It really is an amazing system with some true power. If you’re a movie lover like myself, I say jump the gun and get it. You wont regret it.

The only thing i didnt like about it is when i got my package the box looks filthy, there is a lot of holes and the tape thats holding the box has no stick to it anymore. When i opened the box theres a lot of dirt and gravel inside my speakers and i had to clean them before setting it up. Its been pretty beat up. Theres a lot of cracking noise on my surround speakers maybe because of how it got delivered? Im so disapponted.

Been playing with the 9.2 eARC for over 10 days now, reason I did not post a review sooner because I couldn't believe my ears. The system looks 90%+ identical to my old 9.2. The sound on the new one is crazy good. I couldn't believe what I am hearing. Took a few days to A B both systems and here are my thoughts: -It is louder, clearer and bass is at a different level -In terms of surround, it is much more immersive and directionality has improved significantly. Yes, you heard it right, I thought my old 9.2 was badass but this is a whole new level. - I went back and forth between the beginning car chase scene of Underground 6, Underworld awakening, U571 Depth Charged, Super 8 Train scene, Hellboy 2 Forest monster scene, Ford vs Ferrari and Edge of tomorrow bass scanning intro scene. Bass is incomparable with the new subs being truly something you can feel. As you go from 5-10, you can clearly hear the improvement of the fear invoking low frequencies -The old system's music playback is average at best, the new one sounds completely different, I tested it with everything from Hip Hop, bossa nova, pop, opera, jazz to classical, will say music an absolute joy to listen to and is on par with surround Although pricey, It is worth every penny as I intend to keep it for a few years like my old 9.2. Hope this helps!

This is a very solid soundbar system. It has three HDMI inputs, one HDMI eARC input, usb, optical & coax digital inputs, and a 3.5mm stereo input. It does Dolby Atmos and DTS-X, among others, and also all channel stereo which is nice to hear music from all the speakers and subs. I was really impressed with the amount of bass it puts out and how loud it can get. The surround effects are good, and I would recommend putting the side and surround speakers a little higher on the wall for best effect. It would have been nice if those speakers were truly wireless, but for the price, it is hard to beat.

Great soundbar surround system purchase and your best alternative if you don't want to pay thousands upon thousands for a full on sound high quality surround system with similar capabilities of Dolby Atmos, eArc, etc. Excellent sound to cost ratio Has a premium look unlike many other soundbars Excellent connectivity options with the HDMI inputs all running HDMI 2.2. Easy installation! Comes with everything you need including speaker brackets. Absolutely solid wireless connection between the main bar and subs. Literally no lag or dropouts.

Recieved item and connected as per diagram provided. Everything was working and then it just shut off and wont turn back on. Now i have to wait all over again for replacment and who evan knows if that one will work. Feeling discouraged after getting run around from customer service.
