HisenseAX5125H 5.1.2Ch Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer, 500W, Dolby Atmos, Bluetooth 5.3, EzPlay, 4K HDMI Pass Through, Roku TV Ready, DTS:X, HDMI/AUX/ARC/Optical/USB, 7 EQ Modes

This soundbar exceeded my expectations. It is value priced and I got because I also have a highsense TV. It paired with the TV easily over eArc and also has an additional HDMI port built in. I found it easy to control using either my hisense TV remote, or the included remote.It doesn't sound as good as high end audiophile equipment, but it really takes a discerning ear to discriminate. I would estimate that this is probably 95% of the audio quality of higher end speakers (AV receivers + speakers).You are giving up a little on convenience features, as it does not have Airplay, spotify connect, or other streaming built in. It does have bluetooth, so you can connect your phone and stream music to it. If I am using airplay, I can just use my apple TV for that purpose.I think it sounds great for both music and movies. It will get loud and does not distort. It is a very convenient size and looks great. While it is not a premium product, the build quality is good.It is an excellent value and highly recomemended, especially if you use a highsense TV, but I am sure it will work well with other equipment as well.

I rarely write reviews but felt I had too on this one.. Hisense continues to deliver quality products with amazing features way under the other competitors.. For the same features other brands were much more expensive so I went with this Hisense soundbar combo to go with my Hisense TV.. The TV I have it paired with is the Hisense 65 inch U7N which is also an amazing TV with a ton a features for half the price of its competitors.. But this sound bar combo is Amazing.. Again Hisense continues to deliver the same quality as other brands at a fraction of the cost at this price point.. It sounds amazing.. Now this isn’t a high end set up like a Klipsch surround sound set up which will cost you 1500 plus.. That’s not comparable.. But it is comparable to similar sound bar set ups with the same features like Atmos support etc at a fraction of the price that some of the bigger brands LG, Sony, Samsung, offer.. Bedroom or average size living rooms and this soundbar combo is great.. The sound is amazing with Atmos.. I had no problems setting it up and it exceeded my expectations.. It gets plenty loud with a lot of base and clarity.. The subwoofer does a fine a fine job.. It has multiple different EQ settings and The only thing I wish it had was a little bit more control over those EQ settings.. But again at this price it’s hard to complain.. They sound great and I’m very pleased with them.. They also don’t feel cheap and have a sleek design that should go well with all set ups in any room.. I highly recommend them.. So far this is my second Hisense purchase in the last couple of months and I’m very satisfied with the products they are offering.. Again Hisense is delivering products with the same features as they’re competitors but at a much lower price point.. I use to buy All LG products but they are just getting too expensive and when you have a brand that is becoming known for delivering the same quality at a much lower price it’s extremely hard to justify going with any other brand.. If you haven’t tried them out yet because your skeptical don’t be.. Just remember if you go with a new Hisense TV to pair with this soundbar to adjust the picture setting to your liking or get it calibrated before you write it off.. Most modern televisions need adjusting out of the box and they are no different.. I personally did not do a calibration and manually played around with my settings and the picture is amazing especially with 4k and Dolby vision content..

First, I would say that the Hisense AX5125H sound bar is a great buy for the money. It delivers great sound and voice clarity for TV and movies. However, it is not perfect, and its performance could be better in many areas.The good:- Even with the subwoofer and surround speakers, it has a fairly small profile and can fit about anywhere. I have it in a large living room paired with a 75" TV, but it could just as easily fit into a dorm room or bedroom.- Easy to hook up. Even if you wall mount the bar and surrounds (which I did not), installation is a breeze. No wires to sub and surrounds, just power plugs. So you will have to have outlets available to plug in the sound bar, sub and both surrounds. 4 power plugs. No speaker wire. Pairing was automatic and effortless for me. Much, much easier than trying to hook up your average home theater system with AV receiver.- I have it hooked up to a Hisense Roku TV. Roku setup was automatic and painless. It hooked up through HDMI ARC, so I can control the sound bar volume with the TV remote, and most of the sound bar settings (EQ mode and surround mode) are accessible through the TV settings.- It is loud. You're not going to rattle any windows with a 6.5" sub, but it puts out enough to let you know it's there. The sound bar sounds like a component audio system when cranked up. For me this sound bar is replacing a Pioneer VSX 1020 7.1 channel receiver with 7 speakers and a sub. The Hisense AX5125H doesn't have quite the depth and punch of the home audio receiver and speaker system, but it keeps up with the volume very well and is distortion free.- Vocal clarity is great. I can hear dialogue in movies, TV shows, you name it. Much better than the TV speakers and even better than the home theater receiver with dedicated center channel.And now for the bad:- It is very minimal in terms of tweaking. There are 2 surround modes: Pure and Pro. The Pro gives you a little more volume to the surround speakers. That's about it. There are 7 EQ modes - Movie, Music, Game, News, Sports, Night, and AI, but you won't be wowed by the difference between them. I generally keep mine on Movie or AI.- No room correction. That's right, there is no way to tweak the level of the individual speakers to get the sound bar tuned to your room. All you get are basic bass and treble controls. I get that this is a midrange budget soundbar, but still.- No app control. Yes you need to use the sound bar remote. As I mentioned earlier, Roku TV setup will give you access to most of the sound bar's settings but not all. I don't see why app control is that big of a deal to implement. It is 2024, and most of the major players have an app for their soundbars (and room correction too).- While it is nice to have an readable display on the front of the soundbar instead of an array of LEDs, it is kind of annoying when you can't get it to tell you anything. By default, it will tell you the name of the source (eg ARC). That is what it will say most of the time: the input source. It will temporarily flash the volume if you turn it up or down. I would like to know what the source audio is - DTS, Atmos, Dolby Surround, PCM, etc. However, all I get is a quick, scrolling "Dolby Surround" message when starting live TV or streaming apps. Then it is back to "ARC". I find it maddening. The AV receiver was so much better for information.- Atmos is dependent on the source. Maybe it is my TV, but I can't get anything but "Dolby Surround" to show up. Haven't heard anything with Atmos sound yet, but I hear it is great.- Music streaming via Bluetooth is underwhelming. Quality is better with WiFi, and the better sound bars use it. AV receiver was much better here for music listening. I am also not impressed with the Music EQ setting. Music listening is okay with this sound bar but could be much better.All in all, the Hisense AX5125H is not a bad buy. If you've got (a lot) more money, it might be worth looking at the higher end sound bars from Bose, Sonos, Sony, and Samsung. They all have features that this one is lacking as well as better sound and customization. For around the same cost or less I would also recommend looking at the Onn 5.1.2 Atmos sound bar and the Ultimea Poseidon. I am not disappointed in this purchase, but it feels like I will be saving money to try to get something better in the future.

This is a fantastic sound bar. The audio quality exceeded my expectations! I paired it with a Hisense TV and from the moment I turned it on my TV remote could control it. No more two remotes. The Bluetooth range is good and works flawlessly. The bass is surprisingly deep and rich, I keep it dialed to a middle setting on the bass and it has my walls rattling. Very crisp and clear sound, this is the best sound bar I’ve ever owned. I had a Polk that was a similar price point prior to this, this Hisense blows the Polk out of the water. No regrets on this purchase, it is will worth the money!
