- The Nakamichi Shockwafe Pro has to be one of my favorite soundbars that I have used!

It's pretty uncommon to find a soundbar such as this one that includes quality surround sound speakers. Most other soundbars that have surround speakers use very low-quality drivers, but not this one!
If you're interested in my written review of this soundbar, then check out my article on our website:

Nakamichi also has 2 other Shockwafe models! The Shockwafe Elite 7.2 and the Shockwafe Ultra 9.2. So if a single subwoofer doesn't interest you, then check out one of these models.

I have this soundbar, purchased early January 2021. We are on firmware 35 and all of the issues mentioned in the is video has been remedied. If you have any connection drop out look at your remote and tap the setup button until you see "DF Off" on the led screen. This stands for dedicated frequency. Switch it to DF ON and this will use a dedicated wireless frequency that common wifi routers never use. This instantly fixed cut outs and havent had 1 since. Also not stated here but in the manual, there are actually 3 different ways to set up your rear speakers that will give you drastically different atmos performance. The first is standard with the rear speakers standing like bookshelf speakers which will give you weak atmos separation but the best standard surround if you don't plan on using in an atmos environment. The second is hybrid elevation, this is how I use it laying them horizontally on the speaker stands drivers tilted forwards and towards the ceiling making for an honestly jaw dropping atmos experience, when I watched transforms DOTM I heard ships,bullets flying, metal clinging, and missiles zooming by that I had never heard before the first hundred times I watched it. The third is for a more atmos focused experience, which will have the speaker facing at a sharp upwards facing angle and will ensure you hear the height mix in the sound track, but it certainly weakened the overall surround experience, but if you want the best height experience it's a good one. All in all I stuck with option 2, hybrid. the manual will have specific measurements for speaker placement, and what SSE level to use as well as room size setting. Follow the guide and I promise you'll never need another sound system. I tried vizio, lg, samsung, Sony and jbl atmos options. All got returned and after a long holiday home theater upgrade season, all I can say is if you want the best of the best, just go nakamichi
Not for me. I just received my second RMA from the company and it’s just awful so far. I’ve had this system for a year and I’ve had very few trouble free sessions of using it.
I sincerely apologize for the long message, sir. I really do appreciate your recent videos explaining about the various audio sounds that can be played in sound bar systems. I’ve owned this Nakamichi 7.1 Pro sound bar since February of 2018. I did the firmware update this past year for Dolby Atmos. TBH, I didn’t realize till this past week but I used to always click the “Movie” mode setting on my Nakamichi remote when I started a Dolby Atmos/DTS:X track film & I discovered that I shouldn’t click the “Movie” setting but just to allow the automatic 4K blu-rays settings of Dolby Atmos/DTS:X track to go through the speakers. The audio Dolby Atmos/DTS:X messages show on the sound bar for this and I always overlapped it with the Movie setting. I realized just recently that this was hurting the Dolby Atmos/DTS:X track experience and was shocked of the audio difference with the no Movie setting overlapped and added. Maybe if I click the Movie setting 1st and then have Dolby Atmos/DTS:X played over it could be true too but I find the audio experience much better by just leaving the sound bar system alone as it adapts to the film track settings when the films begin audio play. I’m sorry for the long explanation of this again. I feel kind of dumb for not realizing this for over 2 years having this sound bar but I’ve enjoyed the amazing audio experience better, I just wanted to let you know. I’m sorry for the long message. Thank you again for your videos. I’ve subscribed to your channel! 👌
I just purchased the Nackmichi 7.2.4 ch setup about a month ago and their just amazing. After letting my mother hear them she offered to buy them off of me so now I'm going to upgrade to the 9.2.4 setup. Nakamichi soundbars are the best pound for pound.
Couldn't agree with you more. Let me know how you like the 9.2.4 setup! I'll get the Ultra one day, but likely not anytime soon.
@@JonahMatthes Sure will. Subbed btw.
@@TheColdest247 The 9.2.4 is unreal. I never used to watch movies before but it's been so enjoyable that I watch 1 every.
could you please give your honest thoughts on the ultra vs the elite
@@TheColdest247 what Amp1tude said 🙏
My 9.2.4 arrived a week ago. And I’m completely in love with it. It frkn sounds amazing!!! I returned my Bose 500, Vizio 5.2.4. This just knocks everything out. And I don’t have the cut outs problem tht you discussed from your surround speakers so that’s odd thing. Also my CEC works just fine as well
I’m glad that you aren’t experiencing some of the issues that I have! I agree with you! It completely destroys every other system that’s even remotely close to its price.
The Home Theater DIY r u having some of this issue with no sound sometimes u have to power therm off n then turning it back on...New reply on "It sounds good but sometimes there’s a silence or pause with this system! N i have the 9.2.4 i called tech support and they r aware of this issues even my vizio process is faster then this! You’ll get some pause or no sound at the beginning of choosing a movie on Netflix"
Zeferino Lopez yeah I have that issue when you play a video there are couple seconds mute before it actually plays
Oh and just recently I started having no sound issue and sometimes I have to power off and then on
@@mujtabamujeeb786 Is this an issue with only Netflix? If so, then the problem is definitely not the soundbar. Netflix needs to fix their compression streaming!
I have a the Nakamichi 7.1.4 for about 7 months. When I first connected had the cut out issues but once I reset my Wi-fi channel no more issues. It's def feels like a high end bar.
Family member has this system and had the popping/clicking of rear speakers. Nakamichi support informed them that there was a known “bad batch” of main bars and promptly shipped a new one out to them. Great sounding set up for the price.
Back in the 80s Nakamichi was the top of the heap for all the best stereo gear. Seems they've figured out a way to still be the best best.
I remember their tape decks called Dragon.
I just saw Nakamichi on Amamzon and had an 80's flashback because I remembered they were the BEST in the day and years later their name pops up.... now I'm reading your review and thinking Bose? NO!! I'm going this way!!
I bought the Nakamichi 9.2.4 last summer and WOW!!!! Absolutely amazing! Great video bro 👍🏾.
I also have the 9.2.4. The sound energy and imersion is incredable!
i got them too and waoo amazing sound, pure and i cant take the volume more than 40% i dont want to bother the neighborood XD
I have this sound bar. They put out another update 9/2020. Fixed the SSE issue with the surround sound speakers and they sound even better. With the new update, the SSE is near perfect. But I've never issued the surround speakers going in and out. But the update really made the difference!!
How do you update the system?
@@ash_5644 email nakamichi.
Nakamichi is the TRUTH, I have Nakamichi 7.2.4, it is phenomenal, the dual subwoofers are balanced perfectly, the voices have clarity, once you tweak the settings it really provides a good cinematic experience, I also have Sony HT-ST5000, its phenomenal as well but the Nakamichi dedicated rear speakers & dual subwoofers give you more immersion!Thanks for sharing a very informative & detailed review of Nakamichi 7.1.4 soundbar!
Have you had issues with that system tripping the circuit breaker? I’m scared it will happen to me as my last 600w system did often.
@@dennyyshmael If your sound system is tripping a breaker, you might need to replace your breaker.
@@deebee4575 probably it. Thanks
Hello Jonah, I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot. I have reached a dead end in my quest for an answer to assist my Mom who is hard of hearing. On an older system we were able to have her listen to a movie through her headset (old Sony and not bluetooth) wireless and charging base plugged into back of TV through headphone jack and receive audio to the external soundbar speakers at the same time. She prefers headphones as she can hear the dialogue much better. In December 2022 I purchased an Insignia - 55" Class F30 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV with a Nakamichi - Shockwafe 7.1.4Ch 850W Soundbar System with 10” Wireless Subwoofer, Dolby Atmos, eARC and SSE MAX - Black. The soundbar is connected through HDMI eARC, running CEC for remote control and the sound is great. The big problem is that we can no longer get dual sound through the soundbar and her headphones at the same time. Obviously headphone jack on Insignia TV looking for TV speakers that are now turned off because of soundbar. The option to upgrade her to wireless bluetooth speakers will also not do the trick as the audio would only go to the headphones and no sound to the external soundbar speakers and therefore we cannot watch the movie with audio at the same time. I have researched this for what seems like forever and no solution only finding that others who want to use dual audio with headphones and external soundbar speakers are experiencing the same problem regardless of brand of equipment. I purchased the TV and soundbar through Best Buy and they have no answer and receiving no answers from Insignia or Nakamichi. I have 60 days to return/exchange both TV and soundbar. If my current setup will not provide the audio my Mother needs I would be willing to purchase another TV and soundbar that will do the trick. Do you have any suggestions or referrals to someone that can help me? I truly appreciate any help you can provide in advance. Thank you.
Thanks for the review I have the 7.2.4 coming tomorrow can’t wait!
No problem! Hope you enjoy it, I'm sure you'll love the dual subs! Let me know if you experience any connection issues with the subs/surround speakers. Want to get feedback from other people.
@@JonahMatthes so far so good no disconnection problems it really sounds amazing im still tinkering with the treble, bass, movie, game, and surround settings... so many options. What settings are you running or recommend?
Do u still have it. Hows the height sounds
They said DTS Virtual X is the best feature for a soundbar, any setup you want, high or low ceiling and I agree coz I bought one. The sound is amazing on my high ceiling living room.
Great information and presentation. I enjoy your videos because they're easy to follow and full of information. Well done!
Mr. Kitty has no chill!. Great video
Appreciate the in depth review but how can you recommend a speaker system that drops so often? For a feature film that could be upwards of 40 times for a single screening... even more for a Scorsese film.
Great review! Just received mine last week. I'm still trying to figure out all the settings and what sounds best. Any tips??
Just took back a LG SN9YG, that thing kept cutting out audio while atmos was enabled. LG even told me they were aware of the problem, and might not even release an update 😠 Anyways get this or wait for a Klipsch cinema 800? 🤔
I know this is 4yrs ago but for 900 and speakers cutting out is unacceptable. Did Nakamichi comment on this?
Do the rear speakers have to be facing upwards to get the Atmos effect? And thanks for the great review!
Yes they do. Just lay them on their sides
I have the elite and I upgraded the firmware. Really need a quick video on how to use the remote to get the most out of the system. You did go over this in one of your videos, but I believe a separate video is needed.
Will this soundbar get eARC support? I am in the market for another soundbar but I want it to have eARC. Also, have you're cutting out issue been solved? That issue would be extremely annoying to deal with when watching a movie
Which rear-speaker placement option do you have them? I also got the 7.1.4 and for the rears I positioned them as the Hybrid 360 Surround with Vertical Effect.
One thing I noticed with this placement was that “Dolby Upmixing” sounds much more objective accurate and clearer than “Dolby Surround” setting.
This is probably due to the way we place them as the rear speakers are firing upwards. “Dolby Upmixing” does not enhance height effect, only mixes audio to surround while the speakers’ position creates the height effect so it works out perfectly. However, “Dolby Surround” intensifies the height effect even more which throws sounds off all over the place.
Are you experiencing the same? Please let me know.
Really great review! Thanks so much for this info and detail. Awesome!
Timely video! Was just doing research on an Atmos soundbar (living in an apartment so don't want to go full setup) and this was great. Thanks!
Awesome! Glad I could be helpful!
I was looking at vizio and how happy are you with the Naka atmos ability?
@@dwightgentry5136 Had some issues getting atmos to come through using Chromecast 4K or direct through Vizio Smart TV. After a TON of troubleshooting I bought a NVIDIA Shield TV and since then haven't experienced a single problem streaming titles in Dolby Vision/Atmos. Strongly recommend. Setup is: Vizio M55, Nvidia Shield TV, Nakamichi 7.1.4
I find it odd the height speakers are not on the tops of the soundbar or rears. Interesting placements.
That's because those are not height speakers. He seems to misunderstand. The speakers on the side of the soundbar are just to widen the soundstage. The only height effects come from when you place the surround speakers to fire up.
Super excited, shopping for first new surround sound system in 12 plus years…then you said 60hz max…you hurt me, you hurt me deep lol
New reply on "It sounds good but sometimes there’s a silence or pause with this system! N i have the 9.2.4 i called tech support and they r aware of this issues even my vizio process is faster then this! You’ll get some pause or no sound at the beginning of choosing a movie on Netflix"
Yeah I experience a decent amount of delay when turning the soundbar on, but I don’t experience this issue. Nakamichi is fairly new to the soundbar market, so they definitely have some kinks to work out, but overall I love their shockwafe system!
No eArc?
You should do an update video on this looks like a lot of people are buying this or the 9.2.4 including myself
Is there any disadvantage in not having eARC in this soundbar?
Could you do a video and how to hide the cords? I like the attached tv to the sound bar but really want to know how you hide the wires.
if you still having that problem get a j channel cable management cover
I just recieved this system, And have my Dolby atmos setup through my Xbox One through my Tv arc to the Hdmi Arc on thr soundbar, Question is , still tying to figure out what sound setting would sound the most balanced feels like the dialogue when i turn it up is more noticeable but seems to drown out the rear speakers from sounding louder, Any sound settings would be helpful, I also have Dsp turned off and when i turn it on just allowing the Dolby atmos to scroll across,!
Lg tvs have Equalizer settings in their tv input settings that you level out and with the pairing of the lg soundbar orchestra feature it really heightens everything.
Noway is a lg soundbar out powers this thing but their still all good to me.
Plus when i got my lg c3 tv the speakers alone sounded loud enough
Anyway they say the dragon nakamichi is massive in size and sound
I have a budget of $2000, I was just wondering how this compares to a full custom surround sound set up? I was going to buy the Klipsch floor speaker ,12' sub, bookshelf speakers, side speaker, and top it off with a Pioneer receiver. All the
reviews from what I've read about the Nakamichi are amazing but I haven't been able to ask someone first hand.
The wireless drops to the rears are a deal breaker for me probably
Man! Love you video. I'm in a dilemma cause I want to buy a soundabr for my room (13 ft x 8 ft) and I don't know what brand to buy. I want a clear and quality sound, feeling the presence and kick of the bass. I was looking to the Bose700 and read some reviews about the Sony HT-ST5000... I feel it's a lot of money.
Can you honestly recommend me this soundbar?
Bought the 7.1.4 subwoofer has an annoying popping sound during watching a movie or playing ps5 games, customer service is a joke they say change your router channels, DF off and move the subwoofer away from the router which I did, guess what didn't change a thing I have 3 other brand wirless subwoofers in the house and the nakamichi one is the only one with popping issues. 2:56
Thanks for reminding us this now has Dolby Atmos. I have this model coming from California to Ireland via EBay. + courier and import tax not funny.
Would you still recommend this soundbar in December 2020? I'm in the market for one and everyone seems to be recommending the Sonos Arc, but I'm worried about the closed ecosystem they have (and no remote it seems).
Hi Jonah,
I have Nakamichi shockwafe pro. Its HDMI ARC is not working and related area is getting heated up. I cannot send soundbar to USA. I really love this product and want to repair HDMI port with local experts. Can you help me in teardown procedure of soundbar? Or atleast guide me from where can I get? I am really looking to repair it at any cost. Thankx
I'm torn between this and the jbl 9.1 which one would you recommend ?
Definitely this!
@@vincentseidle954 Why would you go Nakamichi over JBL Bar 9.1?
@@lostangel078 i had a friend who got the shockwafe and really enjoyed it, I ended up saving up and buy a center, 2 bookshelf speakers and a sub. A reviever as well
@@vincentseidle954 very cool! I'm like the poster, considering the JBL 9.1 and Shockwafe 7.1, I was hoping you may have heard both systems.
@@lostangel078 i only heard the jbl 9.1 in best buy so not the best environment. I heard the Shockwafe in a smaller room so I'm a bit biased.
Has anyone else had issues with the remote burning through batteries at an alarming rate? I have to replace the batteries weekly
Hello. Do you know if I can place subwoofer next to tv? Like on the same wall, to the right from tv. Me room is too small, I have sectional and elliptical next to it, no room for subwoofer to the left or right from sectional
Looking at this one and the 7.2.4 with dual subs. How important is the sub placement to getting the dolby atmos sound?
How does it compare to Bose 700 sound bar, bass and surround system purely on sound quality?
Hi, Jonah: thanks for the tip on Nakamichi; have been looking for months, so your comments are moving me in that direction. Was just wondering about my Roku Ultra: would I plug that into the Nakamichi soundbar or should I plug it into my 65" Samsung series 6 ? Thanks for your help
I would connect it directly to the Nakamichi Soundbar if you can. You’ll get better audio quality that way!
Please test the new Klipsch Cinema 600 3.1....it has a 10 inch subwoofer and the sound bar seems to have great clarity. Thanks
I would like you to review the Vizio 5.1.2 Channel soundbar system , it comes w/Atmos and DTS:X
Hi how come I can’t get Dolby atmos true hd with my Panasonic ub 820 4K Blu-ray player? I did connected to the sound bar I have no sound!
Looked over online user manual, couldn't see any info. Is there an ideal/maximum distance between soundbar and subwoofer so wireless connection stays good? Thanks :)
Nice review. has anyone run this bar without the rear surrounds? I am looking at this for exercise room and no place for the rears. Will the sound bar complain our just function OK.
The soundbar itself sounds excellent! I’ve tried it out with the surrounds turned all the way down and it still sounds good in my standards.
The Home Theater DIY Thanks. I see a ton of good reviews about this bar and am thinking of getting it since the LG SL9YG I bought 2 weeks ago has all sorts of HDMI handshake issues. The exercise room is not my primary system, but still, want decent sound in there since it ha sky old 65C7 OLED. Thanks.
I bought mine for 450 hopefully is good!
Great review. Lots of answers to my questions. Im considering getting the 7.2.4 It will perfect for my set up and room size. However the only thing stopping me is the eARC & ARC confusion. I will be connecting my devices directly to the TV inputs. And use the TV eARC to send the sound to the soundbar ARC. Will it be able to get the full formats of the sounds such as Dolby Vision and higher than 5.1 Chanel, or i must connect my devices to the soundbar?
I am asking since i will be getting the PS5 and will be using the 2.1 hdmi port on the TV. And i prefer to save my video and sound settings on every input.
Your time is mostly appreciated 🙏.
Thanks! So the none of the Nakamichi Soundbars have HDMI eARC, they all have HDMI ARC. So the highest level of audio quality you can get through HDMI ARC is Dolby Digital Plus (compressed/lossy Dobly Atmos). If you want full uncompressed/lossless Dolby Atmos, then you will need to connect the device to one of the soundbar's HDMI inputs. To be honest, I don't know if most people will be able to tell a difference between lossy/lossless, but everyone is different. I would try both to see if you can notice a difference, then make a decision from there as to where you leave the device connected. Hope this makes sense and helps!
Jonah Matthes it sure does, thanks 👍🏼
Does it have the things to mount the rear satellite speakers to the wall
You should test out Vizio new Elevate soundbar
Definitely going to do a review on it once it's released! Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello brother!
I just got the bar and was trying to set everything up. When I hit Options in the controller I’m not getting any On Screen Display.
I have it connected via arc to my TV.
Any idea what could be happening? 🤔
Thank you!
Hey, the only question I have is are you able to use the sound bar alone or do you have to use the sub and surround speakers as well? Thanks for your incite.
Sound bar works alone
Nakamichi Shockwave Pro 7.1.4 loses sound in optical mode, any fix idsea?
I just got an lg sk8 sound bar but the bass didn’t have the power I wanted so I upgraded to the lg sk9 and sounds a little bit better but still don’t know if I really want to keep it or get the nakamichi
compare to jbl 5.1，which one the bass/surround/music is better? thanks
How do you like it compared to the Sonos ARC?
Thanks for the review. I almost bought this sound bar but because of strange issues that you described, I prefer to go another brand.
I got one and I didn’t have any issues. Nakamichi updates their sound bars quite often, so I imagined that they have corrected those bugs. Just make sure to update yours.
@@Lenonmendes he fucked up
I can’t find this soundbar for less than 1,100. How can I get it for the price you paid??? 😎
Look it up on ebay
How do you turn up the left and right channels? My center speakers over power them and music and effects coming from the L&R sound weak, as if they need to be turned up but I see no setting to do that. Thanks.
Try turning down the center using the CR- button near the bottom of the remote. Then turn up the master volume. Also, try adjust the EQ settings some. A combination of these things should solve this problem! Hope this helps!
@@JonahMatthes thanks I'll give these a try, I also read that I should turn the DSP to off and this made an improvement.
How does it perform against the sonos arc?
How is it compared to jbl 9.1 ?
Is this better then SENNHEISER aveo?
How is it compared to Sonos Arc
Is this soundbar able to reproduce Dolby Truehd? If so, what would be the configuration? 4K Blu-ray/eARc>soundbar>TV? or 4K Blu-ray/eARC>TV/eARC>soundbar? Thanks in advance.
Does anyone have any preferred Sound settings using the (Nakamichi remote)that are best on the soundbar connected Via arc from my Xbox??!! Thanks
Based on this review, I just ordered the 7.1. Now, I have an UST projector with 1 HDMI ARC, 2 HDMI ports. This projector does NOT support Dolby ATMOS. I have an Nvidia Shield that I use for 90% of my content. This Nvidia Shield DOES support Dolby ATMOS. For best sound, should I connect the Nvidia Shield to Soundbar via HDMI ARC? Or standard HDMI? TV to Soundbar via ARC or HDMI? thanks-
Connect your shield to input 1-2 on the soundbar, this will allow for atmos decoding from your shield since ARC won't passthrough atmos, only eARC. plugging through the soundbar will also allow dolby vizion/HDR10 passthrough. Plug from HDMI ARC on tv---->HDMI ARC on soundbar
So after checking out the Sonos arc which do u prefer between the 2?
This is a difficult question haha. I would say the Sonos Arc because the Mids and Highs sound SO much better than the Nakamichi, but the Nakamichi's low-end (because of the subwoofer) beats the Sonos Arc. Depends on what you value more in your listening experience. I'd say a plus to the Sonos Arc is that you can expand upon that system by adding surround speakers and sub, but it's stupid expensive to do so. However, a system like that will compete with some traditional surround sound setups.
Jonah Matthes thanks for the reply well I’m trying to decide between the nakamichi 9.2.4 system vs the Sonos arc with sub and surrounds. I will be using it for movies, tv and games
Same here still deciding between the two the Sono is stupid expensive
@@JonahMatthes Problem with the Arc, it does not support DTS-X, there is only 1 HDMI input (ARC) No subwoofer (sold separately), no bluetooth etc. A lot missing for a hefty price tag.
@Javoy Johnson LG N11RG....
Hi thanks for the video, I looking for an sound bar mainly to use and connect by way of blue tooth, connecting to my NVidia shield. Will it work like that. My Nvidia shield is connected with the HDMI cable to an projector and the only way to add a sound device is through Bluetooth. Let me know thanks
Bluetooth isn’t great when watching movies, TV, etc. because you’re limited to 2 channels of audio. I would suggest a soundbar that has an HDMI input and HDMI Output. Then you can connect your Nvidia shield directly to the soundbar, then connect your soundbar to the projector. Most soundbars still have Bluetooth connectivity so you could play music to it if you want to. This is the best scenario, hope this helps!
@@JonahMatthes okey thanks, this was very helpfull
How does this compared to the vizio elevate which is better
The Vizio Elevate's Soundbar and Subwoofer are much better, the surrounds not so much. Surrounds on the Elevate aren't super impressive. But overall, I'd go with the Elevate.
I could not get the hdmi arc to work for me.
The elite is enough?? Or the ultra better??
The ultra is definitely better, but it depends on your room. If you have a small or medium sized room, the elite might work better. For a larger room, the ultra would probably be a better choice. Hope this helps!
The link leads only to a Nakamichi remote
What About JBL 9.1 Soundbar 820Watts
I just got a box delivered and it doesn't have "Dolby Atmos" anywhere on the box, just "Dolby Audio", which is disconcerting, so I'm wondering what I'm really getting. It says DTS X all over the box. But DTS X is being phased out.
If their system didn't support Dolby Atmos originally, then they should redesign the box that has it relabeled.
I'm also not a fan of the cutting out problem. I'm almost considering returning it, cause I would be super annoyed with it cutting out.
Nakamichi models that shipped with DTS:X but not Atmos should add Atmos with a firmware upgrade. You probably have one of the earlier versions of their current hardware; newer versions (including the one Jonah tested) have Atmos logos as well as DTS:X.
Whats better sonos 5.1.2 or this ?
Definitely Sonos 5.1.2, that's not saying that this system isn't good. A complete Sonos system is just better.
Yes hows the new arc soundbar any better than the play bar ?
Thanks i love the bass from the sonos sub its just so clean best sub hands down
nakamichi is false advertising this soundbar. It does not have dolby atmos. You get no overhead sounds or even make believe sounds.
In the age of smart homes, I find it peculiar that you don’t mention whether the sound bar is equipped with Alexa or Google assistant. Is it?
Nope, doesn’t have any Alexa or Google Assistant capabilities.
I just got the 7.2.4 and I'm highly disappointed 😞. For 1200 bucks (tax and geek squad protection) I should be AMAZED.
Speakers cut out?? WTF? Throw that garbage out!
