Hisense AX5100G 5.1 Channel 340W Dobly Atmos Soundbar with wireless subwoofer and rear speakers , Black

5.1 delight
This product gets mixed reviews. First up download the manual, this is essential to make the correct adjustments. Bluetooth works a treat & connects up the surrounds and sub automatically on switching on. I have this connected to an Atmos/DTS-X tv via eARC hdmi which provides 2 way information. The main criticism is that the bass is way to heavy & it is! Crazy heavy! Go to the menu by holding down the >|| button then scroll through the sub menu to the Neural setting & switch it off, this is poorly implemented & gives too much bass, then still in the menu select Bass Boost & switch that off too, that largely deals with the ridiculous bass that comes preset. I also have the bass set low on the handset (bottom left). Other reviewers complain about the rear surround speakers volume being too low, hold down the SURR button for a few seconds and increase the volume to the surrounds till you get the desired balance.
The EQ button sets a nice base level when selected to movies on Amazon Prime, when listening to Amazon Music I set the EQ to not surpringly music. These implementations work well. I find the sound quality of the system is excellent. One other criticism some have is a hum from the rear speakers. I have not noticed this, but I have installed ferrite chokes on all 3 power cables just before the box plug ins, I also put a choke on the speaker cable at the entry to the left speaker. Chokes are easy to place & require no technical knowledge. I can’t recommend this product highly enough, well worth €210 as it performs well above expectations

Great sound and value, BUT TURN BASS BOOST OFF!!
If your an audiophile then may not be the best option. But for the price it’s great value and excellent sound. BUT word of warning! Find the hidden menu and turn base boost off!!!! I nearly sent it back as it was awful sound! Once that was off and a few tweaks to base and treble sound is fantastic! But the hidden menu is the key and a bit of a pain to work as the screen is next to useless! For price point great just fiddly to setup from a sound point of view.

Seems to have a few bugs
I brought this to replace an old Panasonic 5.1 system that I had for many years. I had brought a new Hisense U8K with e-arc support so I thought I would have no issues with this.
First annoying thing was that the soundbar has the power one end and the hdmi port at the other. Fixable but if you have it on a TV cabinet it is a bit messy to route the cables. Another issue, a common one is the power cables being a little short, especially for the rear speakers. Luckily I have power sockets behind the sofa but it could be awkward otherwise.
Once I had it connected to the TV it looked set to go. The TV could detect it and showed the correct settings, well most of them at least. The Dolby setting was greyed out but apparently on since it seemed to work with Dolby content.
The rear speakers connected up fine but seemed a bit weak. Guessed I could probably sort that out later. Bass wasn’t great either.
Started up some 4K movie just to check everything was okay. It was getting late and the sound system was very loud. So, I get the TV remote and turn the sound down. The TV and sound bar happily showed the volume going down..and then the sound bar decided volume down on the remote meant volume UP. Couldn’t stop it getting louder so pulled the plug. Fetch the sound bar remote and start the TV. Sound bar responds to e-arc commands but shows Optical on the front, no Optical is plugged in.
Finally gave up on e-arc and actually plugged in an optical cable. Seems to work far better.

Accurate review
Amazing speakers! This is an upgrade going from 2.1 channel system to 5.1, the rear speakers sound incredible watching almost anything on tv or film. The bass is a bit over powering but this can be turned down.
LG tv owners a word of warning, the hisense remote tries talking to the telly (must be the same software inside of both) an example of this- if you click the ‘Surr’ button on the hisense remote, the tv automatically opens disney plus??? but you can still use the remote for the speaker with little issue.
Highly recommend these speakers to anyone, the sound is great! it takes some time to get used to audio coming from behind you but like i previously said, it’s not something i’m used to with my old 2.1 channel set up

For German version see below.
For the price you get a good surround system without amplifier and cables. All speakers only need electric power and connect automatically.
The woofer is very loud. I have therefore decoupled it with additional feet so that the floor does not vibrate. I also put a sock in the bass reflex hole. This gives me a clean bass that doesn’t disturb the neighbors.
In contrast to other comments, I have noticed the following differences.
The rear speakers are very loud. It is enough for me if they are set to +2 according to the instructions.
The speakers also don’t blink all night when you switch the soundbar off, just a few seconds.
For the fair price, you get immersive surround sound.
The purchase was worth it for me.
— German/Deutsche Version —
Für den Preis bekommt man eine gute Surround Anlage ohne Verstärker und Kabel. Alle Boxen brauchen nur Strom und verbinden sich automatisch.
Der Woofer ist sehr laut. Habe ihn daher mit zusätzlichen Füßen entkoppelt, damit der Boden nicht vibriert. Zusätzlich habe ich einen Strumpf in das Bassreflex Loch getan. Ich habe dadurch eine sauberen Bass, der auch Nachbarn nicht stört.
Im Gegensatz zu anderen Kommentaren habe ich bei mir folgende Unterschiede festgestellt.
Die hinteren Boxen sind sehr laut. Mir reicht es, wenn sie auf +2 gestellt werden nach der Anleitung.
Die Boxen blicken auch nicht die ganze Nacht, wenn man die Soundbar ausschaltet, nur wenige Sekunden.
Für den fairen Preis erhaltet ihr einen immersiven Surround Sound.
Der Kauf hat sich für mich gelohnt.

Bueno que decir de esta barra de sonido? pues que la relacion calidad precio es increible, por este precio no creo que se pueda encontrar algo mucho mejor.
Cabe destacar que mi setup es un setup gammer, y que la habitacion es de unos 6 metros cuadrados, como podeis ver en las fotos la barra tiene la funcion de dar sonido tanto al pc como a la tv que tambien es una hisense de gama top, los dos tienen dolby atmos y en el caso del pc el programa de gestion de atmos me permite regular y calibrar al milimetro todo el sonido que sale del pc incluido Atmos y DTS-X, con lo que le puedo sacar todo el jugo a esta buena barra de sonido.
Cosas a tener en cuenta que son importantes:
lo primero la calibracion de fabrica, viene muy mal calibrada, asi que es necesario entrar en los menus para regular el sonido a tu gusto.
y lo segundo es que si como yo el lugar donde esta instalada no es lo suficientemente amplio tendras que poner en off el bass-bost ( esta opcion se encuentra dentro del menu oculto ) ya que si no la cantidad de graves que entrega el sistema te puede reventar los cristales y ademas ensucia mucho el sonido.
Asi que leete muy bien las instrucciones on-line equilibra todo el equipo y disfruta de un sonido atmos a precio de estereo.
P.D. recuerda que para sacarle todo el jugo tu tv debe tener salida eARC ya que el resto de entradas de la barra no soportan ni atmos ni dts-x.
Abstenerse audiofilos y personas de oido fino y bolsillo pequeño, en lo que respecta al sonido la calidad y el precio siempre van de la mano asi que a mas calidad….muchisimo mas precio.

Bass zu laut Sprache nicht so gut
