It might feel weird to think about holiday shopping while there’s still Halloween candy around, but there’s no denying that Walmart’s Early Black Friday Sale, which runs through Nov. 17, is no trick and all treats. The retailer has a collection of amazing discounts right now, including products like fire pit tables, weight benches, and more. But one of the sweetest-sounding deals on the site is this Dolby Atmos speaker system that’s over $200 off and ready to rock the living room.
The Ultimea Poseidon M4T Dolby Atmos Soundbar System is on sale for just $120, a $210 price cut that puts the four-speaker set firmly into buy-now territory for anyone still using the mediocre speakers built into their TV. The price might be low enough to make you doubt its quality, but the general tenor of the reviews—nearly two-thirds of the 270+ ratings are five stars—is one of being pleasantly surprised with how great the sound is.

The principal speaker is a soundbar that’s narrower than most, but it’s accompanied by two surround sound speakers and a compact but powerful subwoofer. The technical details are all solid: Dolby Atmos certification with backward compatibility to previous Dolby standards, HDMI-eARC connectivity for lower latency and lossless sound, and a useful suite of connections including optical auxiliary, USB, and Bluetooth 5.3. We like that the surround sound speakers can be positioned on either side of the soundbar for convenience or behind the viewer for a true 5.1 surround sound experience.
“I have to say ‘wow,’ this thing really rocks,” began one pleasantly surprised reviewer. “It is genuinely a very nice system with great sound,” and it’s also convenient since “the wireless component with the sub being separate from the main soundbar makes the installation simple.” The reviewer concluded by saying, “I highly recommend this if you need a low-cost high-performance home theater system.”
Another reviewer upgraded from a Vizio soundbar purchased in 2017 and found that the Ultimea’s sound is “great and better than I anticipated.” They “love that it brings out sounds you haven’t heard” when playing PS5 games and promises that “you won’t be disappointed” with this “great system.”
Walmart’s Early Black Friday sale may end on Nov. 17, but that’s no guarantee that a sound system this well-reviewed with this steep of a price cut will be in stock until then. We recommend picking one up now and enjoying just how good Home Alone and Christmas Vacation (and the rest of the holiday movie canon) sound through these speakers.
