Amazing sound performance from such a small unit
I was sceptical about the claims I read in the reviews for this TV Soundbar.However, as the Soundbar was exactly the right size to fit under my 65 inch TV (the TV stand is angled outwards so not much space) I decided to try it as the price was so reasonable.The unit was packaged extremely well with foam packing to ensure no damage in transit. The Soundbar is slimline and very unobtrusive when placed under the TV. The subwoofer is small enough to place either behind or to the side of the TV stand. Mine is at the side.Installation took only a few minutes as the connections are easy to understand. The unit is supplied with an HDMI cable, the power supply, a 3.5mm audio cable, a TOS link (optical) cable, a right angled HDMI adapter (in case your TV is against a wall), a wall bracket and a small remote control. The inclusion of the adapter, audio and TOS link cables shows the manufacturer has really thought about making sure the unit can be used immediately without resorting to ordering extra cables. This is excellent service which other manufacturers should take note of.The best audio is obtained by using the HDMI ARC or eARC socket (audio return circuit) on the TV to the back of the sound bar. The subwoofer has a generous length of cable which also plugs into the back of the sound bar.The unit powers up from the remote control which also has buttons to select the audio source (eARC/ARC, optical, Bluetooth, 3.5mm AUX or USB.Sound performance is absolutely fabulous for the price. The Soundbar audio is very good, much better than the TV's speakers. Using the Movie sound preset gives very clear upper and midrange from the Soundbar backed up by reasonable bass from the subwoofer. The volume range provided by the Soundbar is exceptional for such a small unit. Bass control is a little limited with just 3 levels and could be better if the steps were spread over 5-6 steps instead. Note that a full 5.1 home cinema system will sound better than this unit, however they cost substantially more and also involve a much greater investment in routing cables and finding suitable places for all of the amp, speakers and subwoofer.I also tried the Music mode via Bluetooth from a portable audio player. Music sounds very good (a HiFi would be better, but has the same pitfalls as a home cinema system) and can also go very loud. Bluetooth set up is extremely fast.Overall this Soundbar/Subwoofer set is exceptional value for money and would be a great improvement for anyone who wants a little more sound quality from their TV. Highly recommended.

Insane quality and value for the money!
I was on the market for a nice soundbar for my pc, something to have some good immersion sound for games(surround) and also to be small enough to fit under my monitor.I tried a few other brands before getting to this one, brands that were in the same price category, like Creative Stage 2.1 soundbar and OXS Thunder lite and they failed miserably! The Creative soundbar lasted half a day and the next day refused to turn back on; also the sound was stereo and nothing else, nothing special, not even close to surround sound. Also after 15 min of no sound the system went to sleep which was super annoying for me.The OXS Thunder lite again the same story in terms of going to sleep after 15 min and the sound was nothing special, no immersion.Now, with the Ultimea one was a totally different story! The size of the soundbar is tiny, literally but the sound quality is something extraordinary! I love it! Surround effect which you can feel and the sound overall is amazing. I can't recommend this product enough!By the way, unfortunately I have no affiliation and I haven't been paid to say all this, i just think is got an amazing sound! Also the price is a bargain for what you get.If you are in the market for a surround soundbar for your pc or a smaller tv you can't go wrong with this one!

Good value
The speaker and sub are very compact, ideal for a computer setup or small tv. The mid and hi range are good, could use more bass. It is easy to use and connects easily through hdmi. Remote is simple and easy to understand. Functionality generally good though each time turned on I need to turn the light off on the display. Overall good value for money. Also quite efficient, doesn’t use a lot of power for the output.

Fantastic product, if your TV can handle it?
This review of the Ultimea Nova S50 will concentrate on what it can do, and more importantly what it cannot do. The Ultimea Nova S50 comes with a small discrete front centre unit, which is attached to a separate sub-woofer, and will give any TV a boost in producing a nice deep bass with very clear sound even at low volumes, but as I said in the headline it is a fantastic product only if your TV can handle it; because this Ultimea Nova S50 has only a single HDMI in/out and it is HDMI/eARC! That means it is the TV that will process the digital codecs you input from other sources such as a Sky box, Blu-ray, or 4k player. With no digital pass-thru the signal goes from each HDMI input through the TV into the Ultimea Nova S50, so if your TV is only ARC enabled the Ultimea Nova S50 will not be able to process the full DTS/ATMOS codec, only Dolby Surround from any digital source that comes out the TV. I have suggested Ultimea upgrade the Nova S50 back panel to have an additional HDMI input for a digital source, and then pass this through to the eARC in/out to the TV, this would then enable true DTS/ATMOS processing to be achieved directly by the Nova S50 before going through the TV, and they have asked me to include these comments in my review. As it is this Ultimea Nova S50 is a fantastic entry level consumer product for upgrading your existing TV sound source, on delivery I found some connectors, and the remote control missing, but after having a chat with Ultimea CS these missing essentials were very quickly dispatched within a few days. When I noticed some sound issues, Ultimea CS were again very quick to resolve these issues, and send me customized software downloads to update the unit. I cannot find any fault in how good the Ultimea Nova S50 sounds, its overall build quality far exceeds its current price point, and the speed at which Ultimea CS deal with any customer service related problems is very impressive, but if you are looking to buy this Ultimea Nova S50 to exploit the best audio quality from your DTS/ATMOS digital sources then this will only work if your TV is HDMI/eARC compliant, otherwise you will have to accept it will only ever produce an excellent quality Dolby Surround soundtrack from any of your currently existing HDMI/ARC digital sources.
