Hisense Soundbar 2.1CH 240W HS2100 DTS Virtual X, Subwoofer, HDMI Arc, Bluetooth (2023 Model), Black

I got this as my Sony seemed to have an issue with the built in speaker on the right hand side. This was really easy to install, I was actually surprised how much things have moved on from the days of yore where you had to wire every speaker in your 5.1 across your room. I guess you still need power but one less cable. The subwoofer to my amazement was wireless! In terms of connectivity, I opted to use HDMI ARC. The experience is virtually plug and play. There is a delay when starting the TV, about 10 seconds as a voice tells you power on and then paired and connected. The device does not have a standby mode which your TV most likely does. After maybe 45min-1h the soundbar will disconnect from the TV. You need to manually restart it or restart the TV. Occasionally, it will says power on. I believe this is only common with OLED TVs like mine as they are never off and shortly after shutting it off a pixel refresh function begins. This might end up scaring you when your TV eventually does a long pixel refresh (depends on brand but could be once 2 months) and turns the speakers on in the middle of the night. The audio quality is excellent, it’s very bass heavy. I have the bass turned down but I also live in a flat. The treble is good enough, perhaps somewhat tinny but very good compared to built in speakers albeit broken in my case. The speakers are very loud, or rather not very linear in volume setting. In my case the system takes over the inbuilt one and the TV knows that. The remote even controls the “Sound System”, therefore it’s not possible to create a buffer on the volume by using the remote to reduce to source output. I’m sure it will be somewhere in the settings but I’m too lazy to check. As a result, my other working Sony can be up to 45 on certain movies. With these speakers I don’t go above 10. As such, with a louder source like Spotify I can often be on 2 or 3. At nighttime or when someone is sleeping even 1 seems slightly too loud. The size is very acceptable and of standard for this type of product I’d say. Just a long bar that’s wall mountable and a rather compact subwoofer. The materials are plastic but they look nice enough. Once set up you’d never touch it anyway. The “interface” consist of an LED through which you adjust certain EQ settings. This is fairly straightforward again but perhaps not very precise as the setting is translated through the brightness of the LED light. So not very precise. You need two 3 pin plug sockets as the subwoofer has its own power supply. This makes this slightly less versatile but certainly manageable. For the price you pay for this you can’t get better really. Nothing to complain about. I’d recommend this if you’re looking to improve sound quality of TV on a budget. It has won numerous award for best value for money soundbar too. Sure, you can get a £500 one but if it’s for a spare room etc there no need really. This is more than capable.

Funciona muy bien y se escucha muy bien. Buena relación calidad - precio

Il pacco arriva ben imballato e dal peso della scatola si capisce che si tratta di un prodotto di una certa qualità. È plastica ma robusta. Le linee sono essenziali. Da un punto di vista estetico e di qualità di materiali, l'impianto è decoroso ma nulla di più. Ma da qualche parte dovevano risparmiare per fare un prodotto che suonasse così bene ad un prezzo così basso. All' interno, due cavi per il collegamento elettrico delle casse e uno HDMI, più qualche piccolo accessorio per appendere la barra, se si vuole. Io ho dovuto collegarla alla presa AUX delle cuffie della TV, perché questa è vecchiotta e non dispone di uscita ottica o HDMI ARC (quella che permette di utilizzare il telecomando del televisore anche per il volume delle casse) e l'installazione è stata facilissima: una volta accesa e premuto il pulsante sul subwoofer, l'accoppiamento bluetooth è stato istantaneo e poi si è sempre mantenuto senza bisogno di altri interventi; ogni volta che l'impianto viene riacceso da spento (con il pulsante del telecomando, non è automatico), una vocina ci informa dell' avvenuto accoppiamento. Una volta impostato il volume desiderato con il telecomando dell' impianto (ad esempio mettendolo al massimo), questo poi può essere gestito col solo telecomando della TV: comodissimo. Il suono è molto definito, assolutamente non impastato e davvero stereo. Il sub scende parecchio in frequenza ed è un' accoppiata necessaria: la barra da sola fa quello che può per i bassi ma non può fare miracoli. Il volume è davvero importante e non distorce mai. Delle lucine discrete nell' angolo in alto a sx della barra indicano se è accesa e il livello del volume. Per chi bada al sodo, è sicuramente il beat buy dell' estate 2024.
