Hisense HS2000 2.1 CH All-In-One Soundbar for TV

I bought the soundbar to compliment my newly purchased 50” TV. I didn't want to much bass (I am on a top floor flat) and opted for one with out a separate sub-woofer for this reason. I also struggle to hear some clarity of words using the tv speakers especially if there is quite a bit of background noise or an action movie etc. Now first impressions of this speaker are very positive, in my opinion it is definitely a big step up on the TV speakers and I certainly can hear clearly the voice dialogue without needing the volume up too high. There is also a nice balance of bass (not a tinny sound) when watching a film or listening to music. The soundbar syncs well with my TV (also a Hisense), and the TV controls do alter the sound (without need for the bar controls). When I turn on my TV it takes 5 to 10 seconds for the bar to turn on with a notification prompt saying power on. The whole set-up process took no time simply plug in, connecting via HDMI provided and away you go. On the whole I am pleased my purchase, under £80 (sale was £66) seems very good value for what you are getting. You can spend a whole lot more and I am not sure that I could tell the difference when comparing to more expensive brands. It does look a little bit chunky (sturdy) but not offensive, fits well on my lower cabinet and again the quality of sound, bass, treble and voice clarity is very good for the price point. The build quality overall is good. For this reason it gets a full 5 stars, if you want a good value speaker to enhance your TV speakers then this certainly meets your requirements. I have added a 40 second video to try and demonstrate the sound on my TV for music and other channels. As this is taken from my phone it is perhaps not the best reflection but I believe it captures the voice clarity.

We hummed & hawed about for ages about the soundbar we needed to buy & read many reviews. Our only criteria we needed an ‘all in one’ to replace a Sony soundbar with separate subwoofer which we’d paid quite a bit for but only lasted 7yrs. The subwoofer died no power going to it whatsoever & in the last few years even the tv engineers couldn’t get the soundbar to switch on with the tv, so many remotes had to be out just to get everything up & running. So what a joy this Hisense HS200 has turned out to be. Everything was easy (well nothing these days comes with instructions you can peruse - my only criticism, you need to look it up online). That said it came with a wall template for screwing to the wall & a quick set up guide. We put in the plug connected the hdmi cable & we’re up & running, no other controls needed, switches on & off with the tv & it announces that the soundbar is on or off accordingly. We don’t have an over large room so didn’t need the extra speakers but the sound is fine & for the price a really good buy, so much so I’ve even recommended it to a friend.

Overall I rate this sound bar 9/10 ( -1 for quality control of originally received items that had to be returned) Value 9.9/10 -0.1 V small chance that you might find something branded that is better in the price range Performance 9/10 -1 Bass can be slightly overdone especially while using BT on some units ( adjustable ) Build Quality 9/10 -1 One of the units I kept had an slight mark on the remote and a button that Features 9/10 -1 Voice guidance is a bit quirky more voice options would be a + Warranty 9.5/10 -0.5 For possible extra warranty . 2 year still very good for the type of product Returns 10/10 Comfortable knowing any problems will be dealt with without quibble by Amazon or Hisense Originally Bought two sound bars to pair up with our new Hisense E7pro 144hz 50" + 43" TV's (Living room and sons bedroom) its another story but both those TV's had faults and had to be returned . The 50" developed a green stuck pixel after just a few days use . From the start the image also looked out of focus causing an uncomfortable squinting sensation while watching content . Coil whine while in standby mode was unbearable although with the unit switched on it was ok . The only solution would have been to turn the power off at the plug while not in use ( inconvenient ). Colour and brightness settings out of the box looked bad and even after adjustments they still seemed out . Returned unit to the seller for an exchange and the new unit is perfect like night and day . All the functions work as advertised and the onboard system is snappy . Loads of useful functions ability to add all kinds Bluetooth devices ( earphones speakers etc .... ) voice control . Gaming and using a high end PC through it is a great experience some older SD content can be a bit clunky in HD or 4K high refresh rate gaming it really shines The 43" Had a small scratch on the glass screen that we noticed while peeling the screen film off . While trying it out noticed it was slightly superior to the 50" in colour + brightness . SD tracking of dark scenes looked a bit better. Both screens have VA panels which have their advantages and disadvantages and there are limited low price high refresh rate tv's on the market . I find the colours, use of brightness and blacks are better than an ips TV ( UHD led ) providing the viewing angle doesn't exceed 45 degree's which it doesn't in my situation . The 50" struggles occasionally on some dark scenes to track the image it rarely happens in HD or 4k content on either set but the 43" is clearly better probably due to its size . The positives using it for gaming far outweigh the negatives of some of the SD content tried . The settings menu's can be individually adjusted which is very convenient once fully setup . Game mode works and the menu's are useful 120hz/FPS tony hawks is awesome on PS5 . 4k counterstrike 144hz/FPS running from gaming pc with 4070ti Super 16gb is excellent Both TV's now fine after replacement and soo are the HS2000 sound bars. faults listed on those below The First unit was curved slightly the unit would not sit level on my TV unit with either side floating . The controller had scratches on it and several inconsistent button switches. The sound bar itself also had noticeable scratching around the function buttons on both top panels and the remote. Sound wise it was bad . The bass was uncontrollable even at the lowest settings without surround sound on especially while using Bluetooth. The whole unit vibrated like crazy absolute nightmare fail . The Second unit was in perfect condition but the remote had a few inconsistent switches. Sound wise it had much less bass than the first unit but the right hand side of the unit made a rattling noise with very little volume like something was loose inside . It weighed 30g less than the first unit strangely ?? The Third unit is perfect sound is huge , surround sound is great . Even while playing heavy bass tracks using Bluetooth with the bass turned up full I tried at FULL volume to test there is no noticeable vibration or distortion . Bass is punchy . Sound is room filling , clear and vibrant. Ideal for a party . Using hdmi arc everything works through the TV remote voices are clear and sound is even better than while using BT. Bass comes in when it should but the many settings mean if your having a quiet movie night it can be toned down without detriment . I was shockingly surprised how much better it sounds than the TV's speaks although it lacks Dolby atoms the surround sound works well to throw the sound and highlight normally unnoticeable noises. Value for money 10/10 Only negative is it came in demo mode which took a while to find out how to turn off . Weight same as second unit The Fourth unit is 98% perfect on the same settings it has just a bit more bass than the third unit but much less than the first . Its only noticeable when using bluetooth but its still not overdone . One button on the remote was inconsistent with all of the others but is still fine and usable . Weight same as the first unit . Few points id mention when using an iphone with bluetooth using the volume up or down on the iphone turns the sound up in multiple increments at a time . Using the supplied controller or slider bar on the iphone defeats this . I find it a bit of a quirk like the regional accent of the voice prompt which we find highly amusing . If Hisense kept the price reasonable ( below £100 ) and introduced this product with some extra voice profiles and some RGB lighting focussing more on gamers I think it would be a near absolute perfection . The styling is nice and modern compared to my BOSE solo series II and I can confirm that the sound better louder clearer and has more bass. . In conclusion the Hs2000 and E7 pro TV combo is a winner for the price standing upto and exceeding performance and quality of some well established brands that are might I add far above its price point . It could be I was just unlucky with quality control on some of the items received aside from that I'm very satisfied .

Very good sound bar for the money. Works well with bluetooth. Very clear sound. Easy to setup.

It's pretty versatile and can be adapted as required given the various modes. Seems to be getting better sound qualiry as it beds in. A real beast when required. Easy to set up and operate. Seems pretty solid and well made. Good value. The only criticism is that stickers are glued solid to the top so have left them in place as they leave a sticky residue that looks a nightmare to remove.

There is no proper review of this sound bar in youtube. And very few comments. Although I have got a nice sound system still want to try this one. When I first connect it to my tv got confused from where the sound is coming. Is it from the sound bar or the old system. Compare to the size of the built in woofer it sounds great. Sound stage is very wide. You will not feel that the sound is coming from that sound bar. Simple control nothing fancy. You got the remote with bass and treble control. If any one confused with just go for it. Its sound better than most off the other good brands soundbar which doesn’t have any sub woofer.

Plug and play makes this even better. The various sound systems offered are great and make the world of difference to listening instead of relying on the TV built-in speakers. The remote works well and is easy to use. Very pleased as even this non-techie person like me can use it OK.

No bass no mids too tinny, anyone saying this is a good soundbar has hearing problems, you would be better off buying some decent active speakers with a built in amp and use a B01J5DYWTW Bluetooth 5.3 Receiver or other way of connecting Coax or RCA etc.

Rien à dire très bien

I'm very satisfied with this soundbar. The sound quality is clear, with good bass and volume, perfect for both movies and music. Easy to set up and connect via Bluetooth. Worth the price. Highly recommended!

I bought a similar soundbar and make before. Very hollow sound and some Chinese mumbling on and off. I don't believe this an original product, by Hisense. Bought a lot of Hisense items in my life and the first time I'm not happy.

Form my side , I will say that I am satisfied with this soundbar . It is good value for money . I haven't try all the functions yet but the size is perfect, design is perfect. The sound looks nice . Also, bluetooth connectivity is very easy to do

Doesn’t come with optical cable. HDMI arc is totally useless. Only connects through Bluetooth. Gaming consoles don’t support this soundbar. You will have to buy an optical cable separately.
