HS214 Soundbar All-in-one, Wireless Bluetooth, Powerful Bass Built-in, Compact Design, AUX, HDMI, USB, TV, PC Speaker

I'm no audiophile but was having real difficulty hearing some shows on my 43" Hisense TV. purchaed this to ensure its compatibility with the TV and have to say I'm impressed. It's made a real difference. had to fiddle around at the back of the TV for a few minutes to locate the right HDMI ARC socket (Hisense - you really could label it more clearly) and voila! It all started working. Love the ARC powering the speaker with the on and off on the telly remote. Like others I'm not wild about the increments of 5 in sound from the remote which is a little clunky - but thats a minor gripe. I can find a volume that I'm happy with easily enough. So, the verdict. For the pricei think its a superb little unit. If you're not expecting 5.1 or Dolby Atmos levels (which you really shouldn't be) you wont be dissapointed. The speaker delivers clear and precise sound that without question is a good upgrade on the stock TV speakers in my Hisense TV. It has immediately enhanced dialogue definition and the range seems pretty good. If you're after a SUPER deep rumble of heavy bass in Movies you'll likely be dissapointed - but I'd argue that if you shouldve gone for a 5.1 system rather than a 2.1!!! I'm extremely happy with my purchase - it's improved my (casual) vieweing experience a lot. I'm a little annoyed by myself that I didnt invest in one earlier. My product was delivered without the ARC HDMI and Optical cable - but Amazon generously refunded me $27 which was more than enough for me to buy a excellent quality HDMI ARC cable (also from Amazon) and left change in my pocket. Overall, excellent service from both the product AND Amazon. Have no hesitation in recommending for use with Hisense TVs for the casual viewer who wants a reasonable (neat and compact) audio upgrade on their TV for not very much money. Well done Hisesnse. Thank you Amazon.

For the reasonable cost this soundbar works OK with our Sky Glass Air TV and gives a noticeable improvement in sound quality over the built in TV speakers but does lack the finesse and sound quality of more expensive items. Very much a case of getting what you pay for. Good points - Easy to set up and looks attractive. 3 preset sound modes cover most requirements. Poor points - Bass levels quite low and adjustment not shown on screen so no idea what level set at, Flashing led lights coming on for no apparent reason.

I already owned a HiSense 40E4KUK LED TV, great value at £183, but the sound quality is poor compared to same size Samsung LED TV. This soundbar resolves that issue. I had originally thought to use the optical connection from TV to soundbar, but I wasn't happy with the connection at the soundbar, it worked but didn't feel positive enough and my optical cable connector was just slightly too long with the soundbar wall mounted. A HDMI cable is supplied and this is by far the better connection. The HDMI port on the soundbar is angled so it will not foul on the wall and is a more positive connection in my opinion. I have wired both TV and soundbar into the same plug, so when switched on, both TV and soundbar are in standby mode. When using the remote to switch on the TV, the soundbar also switches on and after a minute the TV audio is directed to the soundbar - no need to change anything on the TV or soundbar. The TV remote turns the soundbar volume up and down, you use the soundbar remote to change the bass settings. Soundbar remote has buttons for 'Movie', 'Music' and 'News', plus a surround 'SURR', 'Dim-' and 'Dim+' and 'Source' buttons. I find I only use the TV remote. Soundbar supports Bluetooth also (not tried). I am very impressed with the sound quality, a great improvement over the HiSense TV audio and I think great value for money at £69. There are more expensive HiSense soundbars but this 2+1 unit is ideal for use on a secondary TV. Wall mounting was easy, fittings are provided, but no template though.

improves sound of films ,music,news from tv. without lots of speakers /wires etc.cheap option for £60 worth it

My wife has a Panasonic43W60 TV in her workroom. Great picture and Freely means no aerial for all the main channels. The sound however leaves a lot to be desired since my wife uses the TV to listen to music on Classic FM. I decided to upgrade to a soundbar. What HiFi rated the Hisense at 4 star and it was on special offer at £67 so I decided to buy. Setting up was easy with HDMI ARC. Dialogue was OK and an improvement on the TV sound using the music setting. The surround enhancement setting was unlistenable with excess treble ruining the sound. This setting was permanently turned off. Unfortunately the sound quality of music was poor. Too much treble and the mid range was muddled. So called bass unit was hardly effective. My wife now uses the TV for dialogue only and listens to music on DAB radio. I feel the review of this unit in What HiFi was over complementary and really rated at best 2-3star.

If you've already got the TV, this is the icing on the cake. Easy to set-up and provides the perfect movie night experience.

I bought this last month to replace a really old speaker i had on my pc. not even a month after having it, the sub and bass are gone... i turned the bass all the way up in the soundbar and nothing. all audio now coming from this hisense soundbar sounds like its coming out of a tin can. I was just listening to music, not even bass boosted music either, just Ariana Grande and then all of a sudden it broke I either want a replacement or my £70 back It sounded amazing at first and i was super happy... Below I've shared a video of before & after. You can clearly see the sub is broken. Both videos are on the same settings as each other with the same part of the song.

Sound is great. Lettering on Remote is too indistinct. Bought to supplement sound quality (which wasnt that good) for a new TV. Glad I did. Unit length is perfect for corner units like mine. Not high either so doesn't obstruct screen at all. Setup was super simple - connect to HDMI ARC sockets with cable included, set source (with remote) on HS214 to HDMI ARC and that's it! TV on puts the soundbar on too. Nothing to compare it too but having spent my life in the music industry I think the sound is pretty good. Plenty of Bass, especially in Movie or Music mode that can be adjusted on the remote but there is such a thing as Too Much Bass. Lol. It can make the mid range a bit muddy.The Speech mode is good for my wife who is partially deaf as it enhances the upper frequencies of speech and makes the Newsreader, for example, sound clearer. Rated frequency response is from 40 to 20k so isnt going to output those Cinematic punching ultra low frequency sounds but for the money it doesn't do a bad job. Surround sound doesnt seem to do much unless you are directly facing the soundbar and even then its not an all encapsulating effect. But remember too its 2.1, not a 5.1 home cinema setup so think of it as a nice 'gimmick'. Rated at 108watts. That seems LOUD until you remember that its actually 108 watts RMS, (2 x 54), so about 25 watts a side. In a room 4 x 5 mtrs that is plenty loud!! I Bluetoothed some of my recordings to it from my smartphone. Again, setup Pairing was a single button press on the remote. Considering the size of the speakers inside the unit, the sound was excellent. For Bluetooth. Its not Hi-Fi and not finely detailed but was quite good to listen to. The Remote. Now here's the thing. Its quite small, no issues with that, and works well BUT the printing on the black buttons is in grey and is very indistinct as a result. The handbook isn't a great help as it prints the view and button info picture in the bottom third of an A5 booklet page. Too small. Mind, once you know what the buttons do, you're sorted. 'Home Theater' (sic) it isn't but its a pretty decent sound improving device over the standard in-TV ones and at a sensible price. If it wasn't for the poor printing on the remote, I would have given it 5 stars.

Simple et bien pour tv

Bra och tydligt ljud

Excellent product for small room. Nice sound output with ample bass experience

A very easy setup and fulfills the needs of my wife and I, Somewhat puzzled about how or why I received my delivery from the UK completel with a British power plug and a warranty which is the English version etc etc, plus the long wait for delivery when it now shows a few days? !.
