The vocals are crystal clear, and the bass is perfectly balanced—neither overwhelming nor underwhelming. This makes it ideal for long listening sessions, whether you're enjoying 90s hits, ghazals, or the latest chart-toppers. This speaker shines with peaceful and sometimes peppy music, but it's not designed for loud, booming sound.The build quality is impressive for a system in this price range. The wooden construction of both the subwoofer and satellite speakers adds a premium feel, making it hard to believe it's priced below ₹4,000.Setting up the OBAGE Essential -5 was incredibly straightforward. The instructions were clear, and I had it up and running in no time. The HDMI ARC connection is a fantastic addition, seamlessly integrating with my TV setup.The sound quality excels for podcasts and music, offering clear vocals and balanced bass. While movie watching is decent, it’s the musical experience where this system truly shines.The remote control is functional and meets all expectations. It handles all necessary functions effectively without any issues.One of the main reasons I bought this set was for Bluetooth listening, and it did not disappoint. The range is impressive, allowing me to play music from another room without any connectivity issues. Although it would be great if it supported connecting two devices simultaneously, that's a minor quibble.After a month of use, I encountered an issue with the left satellite speaker producing a muffled and cracking sound. I promptly shared a video of the problem with OBAGE customer care. They were incredibly responsive, observed the issue, and sent a replacement satellite speaker within 10 days. Their excellent customer service truly won me over.The video I uploaded was from a single speaker that was working fine. It was recorded when I sent the video to OBAGE customer care.Overall, the OBAGE Essential -5 2.1 Home Theatre System is a fantastic choice for those seeking clear, balanced sound for long listening sessions. Just keep in mind its limitations when it comes to loud, booming music.Considering its features—like HDMI ARC, digital bass and treble control, and excellent customer service—this home theatre system offers exceptional value for money.

Simple design and of small weight. Product delivered in good condition. Audio is very good. Even at full sound the sound did not distort. All the mids are very clear. Clear vocals and adequate bass for a small room. I liked the product very much. Value for money. Have to check on its longevity without any problems as I have faced problems with my other sound bar just as the warranty expired.

Before this I was obage 2.1 ht 303 that was 50 watt only and gives beautiful bass and clear sound with good loudness and hence having a good experience I want to upgrade my music system so went for obage essential with 80 watt system but for my surprise this system even not match with the sound quality of that pervious system in term of bass , vocal clarity and loudness ...I am very disappointed by th proformace of this system. ..I have a great faith in obage systems but this is totally bad experience ...
