OBAGE Newly Launched Ultra Ultimate 350 Watt Peak Output 2.1 Home Theatre System with Powered Non Pressed Subwoofer, HDMI ARC, Optical in,…

TL;DR: Initial Impressions:
When you hear “bass-heavy sound system,” the expectation is that the bass takes the spotlight while the mids and highs still hold their ground. Unfortunately, that’s not the case here. The mids and highs are underwhelming — they lack clarity, presence, and feel a bit muffled.

This speaker system may satisfy bass lovers in large rooms, but it’s not a well-rounded performer. Lack of balance, average mids and harsh highs, and usability issues (like no bass control or volume buttons) make it hard to recommend for general or desktop use. It’s slightly overpriced for what it offers.

If you’re after balanced sound, versatility, or a setup for smaller rooms, you may want to consider other options.

Note: This is an initial review based on 11 days of usage. The sound may improve after the burn-in period and with some personal tuning.

Audio Performance

Bass:
Yes, the bass is powerful — but only when the volume is cranked up (around level 25+). This makes it more suitable for larger rooms. In smaller spaces, where you typically listen at lower volumes, the bass feels muted and lacks punch.

For comparison, systems like the Logitech Z623/Z625 deliver satisfying bass even at low to medium volumes, making them far more versatile. This system has a narrow sweet spot — something to consider if you’re not always listening at high volumes.

One major drawback is the lack of a dedicated bass control knob, which is surprising for a 2.1 system in this price range. Their older, lower-tier models included this feature, and its absence here is disappointing. It feels like the brand is moving away from what once made their speakers stand out.

If room-filling bass at higher volumes is your priority and you have a large room, this system might still serve you well. But for a balanced sound profile, especially for audiophiles, it falls short.

Treble / Highs:
The highs tend to sound harsh rather than bright. High-frequency sounds can feel piercing or even uncomfortable at times, leading to listener fatigue. It’s not that the treble is overly loud—just poorly tuned—so reducing it with the remote doesn’t solve the issue; it only dulls the already imbalanced sound, especially since the bass is already overpowering.

Mids:
The mids are average. Vocals and speech lack warmth and natural tone, resulting in a slightly hollow listening experience.

Design & Build Quality
This is a large setup — both the speakers and subwoofer are quite bulky. Be sure to check dimensions if you’re planning to place them on a desk or in a compact space. The build feels solid and premium, though.

However, after watching teardown videos of the internal components, it appears they’ve used less efficient Class D amplifiers, which generate significant heat. This could affect durability, especially in hot climates.

Connectivity:
Optical and Bluetooth connectivity worked seamlessly. No lag over Bluetooth, which is great. The HDMI ARC port feels unusually tight — removing the HDMI cable was a bit concerning.

One letdown is the remote. It’s the same basic one used in cheaper models, with hard-to-press buttons. For a system priced around ₹10,000, a better remote should have been included.

Also, there are no physical volume controls on the subwoofer or satellites. So, if the remote fails, you’re out of options — a major usability flaw.

For Desktop Use:
If you’re planning to use this with a PC or as desktop speakers, I’d suggest looking elsewhere. It’s not suited for near-field listening. Logitech’s Z263 or Z625 offer much better performance in smaller rooms or desktop setups.

Very balanced output with very deep base and has premium look. Improvement can be done in terms of volume. For a medium sized room, the volume is good. Not a loud pary speaker but movies are enjoyable with balanced output and gives that theatrical experience. In any case, we don’t hear songs in high volume all the time. So, overall satisfied with the product. People who knows about clarity, base and balance will go for this.
