   My honest HT-144 Review
   I’ve been using the HT-144 for over a month now, and after testing it with 320 kbps songs, here’s my experience:Sound Quality: The sound clarity is amazing. You can hear every instrument clearly (5/5). Sometimes, it feels like I’m listening to the song for the first time, even if I’ve heard it multiple times before. I usually listen to 320 kbps music, and this system handles it perfectly. The clarity, bass, and overall experience are just superb. Whether it’s classical music or movies like Bahubali, it feels awesome!If you love paying attention to the vocals, instruments, and bass, I strongly recommend the HT-144. If it’s a bit out of your budget, save up and get it. It’s worth every penny. I have a ₹3000 system from another brand, but once I used the HT-144, I realized what good sound quality really means.The Downside: It doesn’t perform well with mobiles. I tested it with two phones (Realme GT Master Edition & Realme 13 Pro, both around ₹25,000-₹30,000) using AUX and Bluetooth, but the sound wasn’t as good, even after adjusting the equalizer.However, when I connected it to my Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 laptop (which costs over ₹1 lakh and supports DTS-X), it sounded amazing through both AUX and Bluetooth. I haven’t tried it with a TV yet, but based on the laptop experience, I expect it to be excellent.I reached out to customer support, and they explained that the system is designed to work best with laptops and TVs, not mobile phones. They also said it may work better with Samsung Galaxy or iPhones, but I haven’t tested that.One Suggestion: It would be great if the home theatre could remember the last mode I used (AUX, Bluetooth, Optical Cable, or USB). Every time I turn it on, I have to manually change the mode. It’s not a deal-breaker, but having that feature would be a nice touch.Final Thoughts: If you have a budget around ₹6000 and want a home theatre for your laptop or TV (or even a flagship phone), the HT-144 is a fantastic choice. It’s definitely worth the money, and I’m very happy with it. Obage did a great job, and I’m happy that I bought this.

   Sound Quality
   My search is over for the Audio I wanted!!I have been searching for a good Audio system for over 2 years now. Budget was not a constraint. However, I wanted a value for Money system without compromising the Audio quality.Had read lot of reviews and even tried at Big Shops with complete HT setup to get a good Audio system. Have listened to Philips, JBL and Sony umpteen number of times hoping they will impress me and I will get my Audio system. Never did those system get me the satisfaction I wanted and hence did not buy.After reading so many reviews of Obage and the way description of the system is given by the company, felt company is seriously trying to give good quality Audio products while there could be some niggles given that its run more as a startup than a full-fledged company with Service centers all over the country.Even though I wanted to buy Obage, their system size for HT was a constraint for me. All were too huge for HT and was not going well with 65 inch TV in terms of looks. Speakers should be hidden and should not stand out more than TV in terms of looks.When I saw this new system in July, I thought let’s take a risk and ordered.This system stands TRUE for all the good reviews. If it was possible, I would have given more than 5 stars.Note: You have to give few hours for the system to play and give good Audio through each Audio input till you get good sound.When I played the system after opening the box, I was disappointed. Burn in Period was only read online and never experienced till now. With this system, burn in period is 100% true. It transformed from a low quality audio sound to astonishing crisp, clear and high quality audio system in 6 hours.Even though Obage mentions it’s not loud, System can play loud but it never feels loud on your ears. It fills my hall with loud yet crisp and clear music.I have moved this system to my room for quality Audio listening than with TV now. I am continuing with my current HT system with TV and this system is running fulltime music and I am truly loving itPros:Audio Quality, Audio Quality, Audio Quality, Audio QualityWell-built. Looks like Obage has improved its finishing touches going by other reviews of older productsAddition of Optical port (Even though it did not make much difference as all Audio inputs produce exceptional Audio)Audio controls are moved to back side of the woofer. I did not want wires hanging from side like other Obage products and this is a good designTweeters, Mid-Range Speakers and Woofer that produces Low/Deep Bass with Clarity. All in one package. I have not got this in even 25K worth Sony 5.1 SpeakersAll RCA wires given in the box are of high quality gold platedSpeaker wires are 2.75 m length each side. More than enough for any room.Cons:RCA Port in the Back works without any issue. However for front Aux, I have to push the wire completely to the max limit every time for it to work properly. It took a lot of time getting this to play. It’s not like just plug it and play. I hope it works and does not create problem in future.Optical input – I had to adjust the wire by pushing and pulling to get it working as it works only in a certain position. The locking mechanism for optical cable is missing in the System.Remote quality – Does not matter to me as it does the job for me. NO complaints. Just nitpickingSome comments to Obage only for improvement as I fell in love with this system and want this Brand to improve and grow.Obage Website should add this model on their website. Manual/Book given with the product does not list HT 144
