    For what seems like a simple electronic device I found it difficult to set up due to the scant directions and it being my first sound bar. I did get it set up properly after a few calls to friends who had experience. I only used this Hisense sound bar for a month or so after setting it up. It made only the slightest difference in the sound quality of my Sony TV, but the biggest issue was that the sound was constantly out of sync with what was on the screen. It wasn’t just a little out of sync either. It was so bad it made it impossible focus on what I was watching. I tried adjusting it with settings on my device, as well as resetting my TV, but it never improved enough to be watchable. I’ll probably give it to charity.

    I bought this at full price. I expected it to be really loud but never got that. It was just regular loud and it has a demo mode. The demo mode goes for about three minutes and bring the t.v back to a very low volume, which it will not go away. I’t will be returned soon.

    Sounded tinny and cheap. We bought it for our Hisense TV and the TV sounded better WITHOUT the soundbar. We have a Samsung soundbar that blows this one away. Don’t waste your money.

    They're not good. They pop and have a tendency to go out for about 5 seconds, like every day

    Has a really good sound. Easy to set up. I don’t hear the bass from the subwoofer as often as I like when watching movies, but the overall sound from the sound bar is pretty good.

    Looks great with the Hisense Tv and easy to set up, the only knock on it is output. I have to turn it up to 30 plus in my bedroom.
