PRO
- Immersive sound experience with thundering bass( 2 subwoofers ), theater-like experience
- The build-in sound processing called SSE does justice for Atmos & DTSX coding, sound feels like it surrounds you and sometimes overhead
- Wireless subwoofer
- Does a good job upscaling sound input, like take stereo sound and turn into surround sound. It can take regular 5.1 Dolby and turn it into Atmos( object-based sound )
- Price is a little cheaper than other top-brand( samsung, sony ) system
CON
- no eARC( for my model ) but I have a workaround that so see Note below
- music doesn't sound good, just decent. My previous Bose soundbar sound superior for music
- no wifi connection only bluetooth( the newer model might have this support )
- the subwoofer is wireless but not the back speakers( which connect using wire into the sub )
- is not plug&play and you have to tweak settings here and there to your liking
- the speakers material feels like cheap plastic and design is kinda ugly for my taste
- the remote is kinda confusing, there is a button for everything so it's not as user friendly
Note: as I mentioned about the eARC workaround earlier. If you decide to save some money and buy the previous model then you can use the workaround if you want to use eARC features. I bought the eARC Audio Extractor below to fix this issue, I paid $40 for that a while back.

*90 Day Price Match Guarantee
Purchase with confidence! From 10/11 onwards, if you find a brand new Shockwafe (same model) sold at a lower price by authorized retailers within 90 days of your purchase, we will refund the difference.
Blows the Samsung away by a mile for the 9.2 version. The two extra surround speakers and extra sub is hard to beat. The Samsung surround speakers are wireless and Nakamichi connects to the subwoofers via wires but that is not a big deal for me. Since the subs are wireless, I just place them on each side of my couch.

I'd take the positive feedback with a grain of salt. If you buy these, the best you are gonna be able to say is you got "your money's worth".
EDIT: I've now been corrected. Sorry about the misinformation. Not even the main bar has upfiring speakers. Nakamichi handles height with special processing. Right or wrong, I plan to get the Samsung instead for this reason.

There is nothing cheap or junk sears electronics that other commentors have stated.
The system is fantastic, crisp and booming for my 85" home theater system.
Customer service is stellar. Setup is a breeze, nothing negative to say.
I am the type of guy that absolutely obsesses over reviews and I go way too far into researching things before I buy them, hope that addiction helps someone here
