Title: Misleading picture
Review: The picture makes it look like you get a sound bar & two satellite speakers but you don't. The sound bar disconnects and then makes two speakers, picture is very misleading...beware. Has good sound though

Title: There's a lot to like with this ALTIMEA APOLLO S60. CHECK IT OUT.
Review: Delivery was as estimated, on time, with UPS. Box had a fist-size holein it, buy the contents were undamaged. All parts were included (Amazon and Ultimae) did their job. I just have to figure out what goes where. I know, my dear wife, just, READ THE MANUAL. Okay , parts are all here. I hate manuals, they consume so much time. I wonder if these wires have in and out ends? Nope.Well, I'm up and running. I had it put together in a couple of hours. My only hangup was my final wire to the Tv; the TV was mounted on the wall and had a plate over the center of the back and my HOMI-ARC connection was blocked. Long story short, my neighbor, who has smaller hands, got it in for me, And it works.Long tale, but a happy ending. This little baby works like a charm, I have not explored all of it's abilty, but I am quite confident it will work well and I' ll be a happy man. Go Steelers!!!!! First game Sept 9th, 2024

Title: Itâs fully meh at best - your standards may vary (Edited 10/02/24)
Review: *This system is 1 (one) soundbar that splits into 2 (two) pieces - not a soundbar and two tower or surround speakers - plus a subwoofer that is connected via a single strand RCA cable with no external power source.*I am using this as a sound system for my desktop computer. So keep in mind that this is set up less than three feet from me at all times.1. The sound is reasonably crisp and clear from the main speaker bar that is positioned under my monitor. Through listening to a range of music from classical to bass heavy club music there are certain songs that display a significant amount of popping or clicking. I cannot find a consistency in genre, volume level, etc. to find a cause.2. The subwoofer is positioned behind and hidden by the monitor. The settings for sub are very simple: -2 (minus two) up to 2 (two)These settings are probably sufficient for most people. I personally do not find this to be a sufficient range of bass settings. This leaves the sub underwhelming in almost every aspect.3. The remote is of decent construction but would not hold up to every day use.4. It does a reasonable job of depicting Spatial Audiop but with no surrounds or upward firing speakers itâs disingenuous to call this Dolly Atmos. Verdict: Itâs 3* soundbar. I wouldnât even attempt to use this as my main home theater set up, that would just lead to disappointment and frustration.The popping might just be annoying enough to return this. Iâll give this a few more days to see if I can figure out the cause. While this isnât an expensive system, there is no reason to spend any amount of money to be disappointed and annoyed.I am considering to get a better powered subwoofer, but I donât know if the soundbar is worth keeping. I am leaning towards returning this and getting a name brand product. Sometimes things just donât work out when you try something new.Edit 10/02/24After a week of fiddling about I was able to mitigate the snap, crackle, and pop by running the setup via ARC vs. using Optical as I originally was, and splitting the soundbar into its 2 speaker set up.No matter what is done, the bass is still disappointing but I have hope that maybe the company will release a software update giving us more than the current limited bass settings. Iâm also considering an alternate powered sub to see if that provides any satisfaction. If I do, Iâll try to remember to update this further.As an aside the seller did reach out to try and offer suggestions on how to best proceed. So atLeast they are listening and seem to want to provide a good experience.

Title: Junk
Review: Terrible. First the positive. For the short amount of time it works, the sound is great. At that price point the sound is really great. That's it. The rest sucks. First one I returned to Amazon because it stopped working. Second one is past the return date and I turned the TV on this evening and there was no sound. I did everything said in the book.... Couldn't get the sound back. And I'll be damned if I'm going to turn the TV on and off four times click my heels and say there's no place like home every time I put on my television set. If you Google the problem the manufacturer tells you basically need to jump through hoops to get it to work. That includes turning it on and off plugging in plugging out plugging in plugging out and all the same crap we have to do when a computer stops working. Obviously the manufacturer knows about the problem and for some reason can't push out a software update. I'm eating the $130.00. It is what it is. Moral of the story? Believe what people are writing if more than two people are writing about it. Everybody's having the same problem it seems, when they have a problem. This one lasted from August 31st until November 9th, 2 months and 10 days..... Ridiculous

Title: Good quality
Review: Good quality speaker that comes with multiple ways to connect. The base is not overwhelming but gives a good deep base. I have it in a 20x20 room at mid volume and it can be too loud depending on what youâre watching. Good sound, clear and good tone.

Title: Excellent system!
Review: I chose this system because of it's 280W output. I was surprised! There is beauty in simplicity. The operation and options are awesome. The sound modes are great and the bass is impressive! I could spend 3X as much for less sound quality. Definitely worth the price!

Review: Well packaged and unlikely to be damaged during transit. This soundbar is actually two smaller soundbars which can be used independently, particularly advantageous if you don't have a lot of room or shelving for a long soundbar, or slotted together to appear like a normal single long soundbar.The sound is good, especially if you watch a lot of films or music, but isn't as clear as it could be for those annoyingly already muffled dramas.For the price, this is a good set of soundbars (or single soundbar) and a great improvement to most television speakers.

Review: If I had to summarise this product with one sentence? This thing GOES. Stylish? Check. Loud? Check. Bassy? Check. Versatile? Check over and over.The audio is crystal clear - No doubt about it. I have used this with Optical Digital connection, as well as Bluetooth and 3.5mm headphone jack. The Signal-To-Noise Ratio is, quite frankly, mind-blowingly good. I've tested this soundbar with music, TV shows, Movies & Gaming. The presets for EQ really play well to the Dynamics and the depth of the source audio, whatever it may be. The BassMX settings (Both Positive & Negative adjustments) make a huge difference. My only feedback on this is that I think there could be more notches on the range of this, so you can be more accurately adjust the Bass.There is one issue here however. I received the Apollo S40 Soundbar like all the other Vine customers. So why is this product page for the S60? I did not receive a Subwoofer with my product, which shows the difference between the S40 and the S60.

Review: This is quite an interesting sound bar in that it can be used in one piece or split into stereo as two wired. speakers. The material is a bit plasticky and the remote is horrible but it does have ARCâ¦but how does it sound. Wellâ¦.okâ¦..itâs pretty quiet and limited in terms of range (sitting in a slightly hollow mid range) with little in the way of bottom wind frequencies. Itâs ok for a bedroom or den but tbh you could get something ten times better for double the money, Iâd pass if I were you.

Review: I have a Sonos Arc for my main setup but I am genuinely really impressed by the sound quality with this soundbar. For the price this is fantastic, I have had soundbars in a similar price range in the past and they have been tinny and worse than the TV speakers. This however, has a good amount of bass and can fill a room. I got these to use with my projector in the bedroom and they are fantastic in movies. I have them split apart wide and this way it really creates a spacious sound. That's the amazing thing about these, you can have it as a sound bar or split them apart and have them standing. I think having them split gives them a wider sound stage and they don't take up much space either. We watched a movie the other night and all the details were crisp and clear and the impactful sound effects like crashes, punches, explosions etc are very hard hitting, without distortion. For a soundbar this price the sound is very immersive and has a nice balance. The remote is also nice to hold and easy to use. 5 stars from me.
