Walmart's holiday deals are some of the best online, but the most impressive are among its collection of home entertainment devices, especially Bluetooth soundbars. These compact sound systems instantly impress with a more immersive TV or movie-watching experience. Walmart currently has dozens of models on sale from Samsung and Bose and some you haven't heard of that provide equally as impressive sound. If there's one that's a must-see, it's from a brand called Ultimea that's over 60% off and getting rave reviews.
The Ultimea Poseidon M4T Dolby Atmos Soundbar System is on sale for just $119, a $211 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 was shocked at how powerful of a punch this soundbar packs despite its size. "Incredibly detailed sound, they said. "It's incredible that something so small totally fills the room with sound. I now realize sounds that weren't heard on my TV speakers, especially the crackle of a roaring fire."
Walmart's holiday deals are heating up, and we've seen several Bluetooth soundbars like this one sell out overnight. We recommend picking yours up ASAP to enjoy just how good Home Alone and Christmas Vacation (and the rest of the holiday movie canon) sound through these speakers because they might not be available much longer.
