Nakamichi Schockwafe Ultra eARC SSE MAX with promotional copy overlay

Our reviewer declared the flagship Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra eARC MAX a literal and figurative blast offering loud, full-spectrum detail and realism. This 9.2.4-channel system, with 18 drivers total, delivers 1,300W/113 dB audio, and supports HDMI 2.1, optical, coaxial, RCA, and Bluetooth 5.0 aptX HD connections, with Dolby Vision/4K HDR/Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X compatibility. The four wireless surround sound speakers, paired with dual 10-inch subwoofers and Nakamichi’s Spatial Surround Elevation audio processing engine, enhance the already impressive soundbar with a heightened sense of spaciousness. If you’re investing in a vivid new QLED TV, make sure you have an expressive soundstage to match.

Here are additional home-theater and personal wireless audio choices to cut clutter and increase immersion:

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
