Hisense HS214 2.1ch Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofer, 108W, All-in-one Compact Design with Wireless Bluetooth, Powered by Dolby Audio, Roku TV Ready, HDMI ARC/Optical/AUX/USB, 3 EQ Modes,Black

I've had a lot of home theater sound systems, and none were ever quite right ... or they just died with one or more speakers no longer producing any sound. My most recent sound system was an ONN setup, and it too started having problems. So, I had recently gotten a Hisense 85-inch TV and it is awesome. It eliminated the need for Roku, too. But I needed a new sound system. I did my homework and decided to go with a Hisense Home Theater System with remote speakers. As I took things out of the box my first thought was that it can't be this simple to set up ... but, hey, it definitely was so easy to set up ... you plug in the subwoofer (with the rear speakers attached) and you plug in the soundboard ... and BOOM ... you're in business. They system automatically configures itself. Now this might be because it is a Hisense product designed to work with a Hisense TV, but from what I've read, it should be a breeze with any TV you hook it up to. This sets the standard for the way things ought to be done. The Beatles changed music and the world ... and this sound system CHANGES EVERYTHING for having a home theater sound system that knocks your socks off!

While most small soundbars are in fact loud, they tend to not have great sound. This is the exception. For its size it not only fills a small room with sound, it has great bass output too. Connectivity is no problem. You have a line in , optical , USB, RCA, Bluetooth, and a HDMI-ARC connection. My only complaint is that there is only one HDMI connection, and there is no display on the unit to show the sound mode, volume level, or connection type. But for the price, asking for those things is a little much anyway. Bottom line, if you have a smaller space and want big sound, this is the sound bar for you.

This will do the trick, bass and sound quality is mid but this product was designed to be affordable and still push decent quality, which it meets in my opinion. I also have the Vizio V series 5.1, which is the competitor and slightly cheaper. The Vizio is hands down better. It surpasses this Hisense HS5100 in all aspects; treble/mid/bass/equalizer/subwoofer level adjustment. The HS5100 does not have a function for adjusting the subwoofer’s level, instead, it has the standard bass (and treble) adjustment and an option to turn Bass Boost on/off. I’ve tested both and the Vizio is noticeably better. If you’re going to spend $200 or less on a soundbar 5.1 system, I would have to recommend exploring Vizio’s lineup. Still, this HS5100 is not bad. I’ve always been a Hisense fan because they push decent products at an affordable price, but this particular HS5100 is one step behind and pricier than Vizio’s V51 (there’s even a newer model of this; Vizio 5.1 SE. Still under $200, probably a banger).

This is so worth it for the money. The sound is amazing. The comments we got last night were " You can feel it and hear it, it sounds like we're in a movie theater" it really is nice for the money. I bought extra hardware thinking I needed it to hang the rear speakers and the soundbar and what came with it was perfect I didn't need anything extra. It's on the small side which is really nice and it packs a great punch for its size. I have it hooked up to my 85-in Hisense 4K TV and it really is amazing. It hooked up so easy. As soon as I plugged in the HDMI cord into the back of the TV the TV recognized the system and even configured the Bluetooth with the rear speakers and subwoofer. I am very pleased and highly recommend this setup especially for the money.

My 10 year old insignia tv kept giving me "HDMI Errors" and none of the diy remedies worked. I upgraded to a new 2022 Hisense TV with Roku built in to eliminate the HDMI Errors, but the only problem is the new TV has horrible sound. I am not a TV sound snob, but the sound really was terrible. I bought this sound bar hoping to improve the sound and it works great. Huge improvement in sound quality. It was a complete plug and play installation. This goes on when the TV goes on, and this goes off when the TV goes off. I use my TV(Roku) remote as normal. I never even put the batteries in the remote that came with the sound bar. No Need. Only thing different is my TV volume now increases by 5 instead of by 1. So instead of the sound going up 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.... it now goes 5,10,15,20. I am not sure why it does this, but I have not had a problem finding an appropriate sound level. I would recommend for anyone looking to improve the sound of a tv. I bought the 2.1 model for $80. UPDATE: I am lowering my rating. First time I used this at night I realized (which I had not noticed during the day time) there is a bright white light right in the middle of the sound bar shining at you. Obviously I placed this just under my tv, and it was awfully distracting trying to watch tv at night in the dark with a bright white light shining in my face. The light is behind the metal grill, which does not appear removable, so I had to put black tape over the grill to cover the obnoxious light. I am not as impressed as I originally was.

I'm a home theater type of guy. Never been a fan of soundbars but I needed something cheap that would replace my bedroom TV internal speakers as they sound bad. It's a 2018 TCL Roku TV which also recognized the soundbar. Everything function as they should. Also bought it to play ambient sounds through bluetooth to go to sleep lol. Out of all 3 sound modes the movie mode is my favorite. Music mode has not much bass and is not warm as I like everything to sound. However that could be personal taste and you might find the other modes to better fit your listening. News mode is okay for, well, watching news. In conclusion, it's a solid sound bar and for the price it's an excellent choice to get a better sound experience out of your TV. As I mentioned I bought it for my bedroom and didn't want anything crazy. For a living room, however, I'd go with their bigger sound bar or do what I did and build yourself a dedicated home theater system for a much better sound; if money isn't the issue that is.

I live in an apartment so having a full range 5.1 system with a subwoofer on the floor shaking my neighbours wasn't an option. This sound bar from Hisense paired with a 65 inch Hisense TV is an amazing experience. I switched between the TV speakers and the sound bar during intense movie scenes and quieter moments just to hear the difference, and it just convinced me that this is well worth the 100$ I paid for it. The dialogue are super crisp and clear, and there's enough bass to envelop the listeners when watching movies or listening to music, but not too much that my neighbours will get mad at me. Probably not the best product for a large living room, but you get what you pay for, and I am utterly satisfied with this product. Only downside, and this is not the sound bar's fault from the research I made on the subject, but the HDMI ARC is not working for me even though I did everything I could for it to work. The only difference with using optical is that my TV remote and the sound bar remote works independently from each other. I just put max volume, movie preset (which sound better for even music anyways), and max bass (it's not that crazy anyways) on the sound bar, then put that remote away and only use my TV remote from now on. I don't understand the reviews saying it's not loud enough. Unless you put it in a wide open space like a loft with super high ceiling, the sound bar is very impressive for its size. Perfect for a small to medium living room with 8 to 10 feet ceiling.

I am quite impressed with the sound quality. Installation was straight forward with plenty of options. Bluetooth works well. Great product nice price.

First sound bar, paired with my Hisense U68N no problems. Played around with the settings during setup Surr +3, Bass +2/3 and Treble -2/3 (depends on sports vs movies). Subwoofer makes the biggest difference and having 2 rear speakers really makes the sound more full. The sound from the rear speakers is there but it's not the focus of the sound, it helps create that surround sound. Overall happy with the quality and performance for the price.

Por inicio de cuentas, pedí un solo artículo y me cargaron tres, tendré que regresar dos. Con lo que se refiere al equipo de sonido es aceptable (precio calidad) ya que los parlantes traseros tienen poca potencia, por lo demás bien.

I wanted a small sound bar for my new Hisense TV. Sort of made sense to buy a Hisense Soundbar as well. When I opened the box, the sound bar had a nice look and feel. I set up the sound bar, plugged in power and attached it using the optical cable. I have been using my cable box remote to control my TV and immediately noticed that the remote stopped working with the TV. Turns out that the sound bar actually blocks the remote sensor on the TV. I moved the sound bar to a lower shelf, and the remote started working properly again. After some reading, I discovered that the sound bar had a IR pass through which allows the signal from the remote to pass-through to the TV remote sensor. For anyone who has the sound bar in front of the TV you should ensure that you have the IR pass-through aligned with the TVs remote sensor and make sure it’s enabled via the sound bar remote. I know that companies like to keep their manuals small but it would have been helpful to add a small section that explains this to the user. My next goal was to get the sound bar to turn on automatically with the TV. The manuel says to press the source and volume up button on the sound bar. I tried this many many times with no luck. The manual says that the status light would flash white and green when this feature was enabled and would flash orange when the sound bar is off. I gave up and tried to contact Hisense support. The next day I experimented some more, and kept touching the two buttons in various speeds and sequences, and suddenly it enabled the feature. I am not sure exactly what I did, but it worked. Hisense support never contacted me back. Now to get to the sound quality. There are three sound settings and a surround setting on the remote you can can tweak to get different audio effects. Since my sound bar was sitting directly on the shelf, I felt that the bass sound was a bit restricted. I found a couple of small wooden blocks that I set under the outer edges of the sound bar and raised it up from the shelf a bit. It helped with the bass sound. Two screws came with the sound bar which could be used to wall-mount it. Overall, I am happy with this purchase. I felt that the manual could be improved to help someone setting this up. Attempting to contact Hisense support was a failure. It certainly does not perform like a high end sound bar. The sound is better than my TV speakers, so i am pretty happy with this purchase.
