ULTIMEA Skywave X60 7.1.4 soundbar 840W
Product description
The ULTIMEA Skywave X60 7.1.4 soundbar is built for a more immersive home cinema feel, with height effects and a wireless subwoofer that helps add impact to movies and music. With a Dolby Atmos focused layout, sound is designed to travel around your room, including from above, so action scenes can feel fuller and more lifelike. The fully wireless rear and subwoofer setup also keeps installation straightforward, especially if you want to avoid running extra cables. 🎬
If you care about deep bass and clear dialogue at everyday listening levels, this model also targets low frequency extension and stable performance. According to the manufacturer, features like a GaN amplifier, 4K HDR pass through, and app based tuning are there to make the system easier to dial in to your TV and your room. 8 inch wireless subwoofer power and a 840 W peak rating are intended to help deliver that “you feel it” impact when the soundtrack calls for it.
The essentials
The Skywave X60 aims to combine cinematic height audio with wireless convenience. It uses four up-firing height drivers, plus two wireless rear surrounds, and an 8 inch subwoofer, all working together for a 7.1.4ch immersive experience powered by Dolby Atmos. In practical terms, that means more of the soundtrack is placed in the room rather than staying locked to the front of your TV. Whether you are watching action films or playing music with layered detail, the goal is to make the sound feel wider and more enveloping.
The system is also designed to be ready for modern TV connections. 4K HDR pass through lets the TV receive supported HDR video from your source, while CEC sync can help coordinate TV power, volume, and input switching. For audio fine tuning, the app supports OTA updates, a 10 band EQ, and 121 sound presets, so you can adjust the balance without needing to keep digging through the soundbar controls.
Wireless reliability matters for a home cinema setup that you want to use regularly. The Skywave X60 uses dual 5 GHz wireless transmission, with advanced RF and networking protocols intended to minimise interference and reduce dropouts. If you have a busy Wi Fi environment, that focus on stable connectivity can be especially helpful for uninterrupted viewing.

What stands out
A key differentiator is the combination of height audio and a wireless surround layout that is designed to stay stable. The Skywave X60 uses up to four up-firing height drivers along with two wireless rear surrounds, which the manufacturer positions for overhead and surrounding effects. This setup is intended to help with moments like rain ambience, helicopters, and thunder moving across the space rather than sounding flat or purely directional.
Bass performance is another major focus. The system uses Gravus Ultra-Linear Bass Technology, which according to the manufacturer is designed to maintain full bodied sub bass down to 28 Hz. It also references an oversized waveguide and a precision engineered acoustic chamber, which are intended to support deep low frequencies even when the volume is higher. The practical takeaway is that you should get a richer low end without the bass feeling empty once you turn it up.
Processing and audio precision are handled by the NEURACORE Multi Channel Audio Engine. The manufacturer describes a triple core DSP and dual core MCU, delivering 24 bit/192 kHz audio and less than 0.5 percent distortion, with support for up to 17 channels for surround imaging and height realism. In everyday listening, that translates to more consistent spatial cues, which can make dialogue and effects sit more naturally within the scene.
There is also a practical tuning and control layer. With app connectivity and 10 band EQ, you can shape the sound to suit your room acoustics, whether your walls are reflective or your seating is set closer to the TV. The system also uses CEC sync to simplify day to day control, so switching between sources and adjusting volume is less fiddly.
It’s worth noting that as with any wireless surround system, real world performance can depend on room layout and placement. If the subwoofer or rear surrounds are tucked into awkward corners, you may need a little experimentation with positioning to get the best integration with the soundbar. Still, the overall design is aimed at making setup manageable and daily use friction free.
Who it’s for
You may like this soundbar if you want a Dolby Atmos style home cinema experience with height effects and a more “around you” sound field. It suits households that want a fully wireless layout, including rear surrounds and an 8 inch subwoofer, without complicated cable runs. If you watch a lot of TV and films through a single main screen, the 4K HDR pass through and CEC sync can make it feel more like an extension of your TV setup.
It makes sense if you also care about bass extension, not just volume. The system targets low frequency performance down to 28 Hz, and the manufacturer highlights a GaN amplifier for stable high volume behaviour with lower heat. Pair that with app based EQ and presets, and you have options for fine tuning, whether you prefer a punchier low end for movies or a more balanced sound for everyday programmes. ✅
