    This sound system was easy to set up. I have it in a room with an 85 inch Samsung TV. The sound (base) is excellent in action movies, and the dialogue is understandable.

    I've tried various different premium soundbar setups including the Samsung q990b but the earc nakamichi has blown it out of the water. Much better surround sound and punchier bass. Way more customization to suit your preferences than the competition as well. I've owned the original 9.2.4 and now the earc version and plan to stick with nakamichi

    I walked around BB for days listening to soundbars and finally took my attention to youtube for reviews. This system came up in over 5 videos I watched labellled "BEST SOUNDBARS 2022". Let me tell you...they were not wrong. Great sound, amazing bass, clarity, crisp and very loud (1300W). I got it a day late which was no big deal. I called Nakamich to set it up and thier customer service was amazing. Fast & patient while still detailed and answered all my questions and helped me set it all up! I am very happy!!!!!

    This is a spectacular soundbar system with excellent bass due to two 10 inch subwoofers. I especially like the wireless subwoofers with simple wired connections to the surround speakers. Unfortunately, the center channel didn't work on my initial unit but Nakamichi promptly replaced it with a new one.

    Long term review* purchased almost 2 years ago

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased my system in june of 2022, almost 2 years ago and here are the results: decent overall sound, with good bass, but issues, namely: The system cuts out and switches to the TV's speakers occasionaly, you have to finagle with it to get it operational again. The wall speakers are very faint, somewhat staticky with questionble performance, even on the "All Ch Stereo" setting. And last but not least, one of the sub woofers has already blown out, luckily I have a geek squad extended warranty. On top of it all I have a household of children under 10, these speakers are only used for the occasional weekend kids movie, not "bumped" or "jammed" at all. In conclusion it's very surprising that one of the subs has blown out with such little use, long term quality is an additional concern. At this point I would have probably purchased a Bose, or other mid to high grade system. Get an extended warranty is my advice, Nakamichi's is only 12 months!

    Center speaker and both subwoofers are extremely good. Side speakers barely produce any output but the overall product is great. I definitely recommend this product.

    We love this soundbar. We wanted something a little more “mmph” but we didn’t want to pay the expense of a surround system. This was a nice/flexible option. The dual subs are VERY noticeable.

    Excellent sound. The bass is incredible and the 360 surround makes the movies come to life. For gaming it is great, the crisp sound makes all the games more vivid and immersive.

    These things sound great. I'm no audiophile, so I can't speak for those that are. It took me a week or so for my ears to adjust to the sound of people speaking on these. My previous speakers had more treble I suppose. I truly love them now. These will have a tendency to interfere with Wi-Fi while they are on, but it hasn't created an issue for me yet and I've had them about 4 months. I've called customer service once, and they are amazing.

    Sounds great! At first tweeters do have some static but then clear out quickly. Dual bass speakers make a big difference!

    Nakamichi has truly outdone themselves! The updated eARC 9.2.4 sound system delivers crystal-clear, crisp, and exceptional audio. The sound fills your room, and the sound comes from all directions, making it an immersive experience. You won’t be disappointed with this product.

    The Nakamichi Shockwafe is by far one of the best sound bar systems that I have ever owned. I have had the pleasure of experiencing the Nakamichi Dragon sound system, so I had an idea of what this system would do. The Shockwafe has not disappointed. The sound is amazing. How it puts sounds in different parts of the room where speakers are not present. You won’t be disappointed.
