Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nope. Don’t waste your time. They need to really rethink their strategy. It’s an 80’s brand that’s really dead. 1300watts is great but it really needs a designer. Sound and product. A. It’s ugly. B. It doesn’t work properly. Music and voice is very flat. I loved the remote, fk apple and it’s simple bs that everyone is trying to emulate, but it doesn’t sound right. Music is terrible and so is voice. It’s very specific to movies. Which is great if you want only that, but most people looking for a sound bar solution want a overall solution. Don’t get me wrong, dual subs, 1300watts, earc, and the other bells and whistles is great- but they need to work and look nice. Its 2022. Incest in a product designer and also, most importantly- it needs to work! This didn’t work. I put classical and hip hop; it sounded like sht.

Poor audio sound from this system. Doesn’t mix audio well from apple tv. Sounds fair with a stand alone disc player. Center is very harsh. Bass is not like described. Doesn’t get deep.

Keeps making a machine gun noise. Need to turn it off then back on again.

It needs a better hbmi cable. If you don't purchase a high quality cable the sound can crunchy. With such a high quality system im disappointed they didn't think of this detail

Sounds as good as a 200 system / sound bar , measured amperage from wall , does not pull nearly the wattage it claims , for music it is terrible no 2 ch stereo mode , but i will say for movies is it is great , however i personally have a sony system for 250 that is better or as good for immersive sound , for the 2k or 1500 , you can easily purchase a nice reciever and seperate speakers with dolby atmos and have far better quailty , i returned my system and did just that , yamaha reciever and klipsch floor standing dolby atmos for the same total price , sounds way better for music AND movies. Dont waste your time. The actual value of this would be great at arpund 250 to 400 on the high end .

Great product. I have not had any issues with it at all

This system is delivered as promised, loving proof.

Pretty nice equipemnet. Im sure there us better and im sure there is worse.

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.

Straight garbage!!!!! Don't waist your time on it!

Good value. Very clear setup instructions. Deep bass.

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.

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.
