    This thing is awesome. I was on the fence about different brands and setups but the value in this system is tough to beat. The bar itself sounds great and the sub is awesome to go with it. Having the Atmos is a bonus although the room I have it in is drop ceiling so I feel like I’m not getting everything out of it right now. One problem I found when I mounted the rear speakers was that the power cord was much too short at only 6’. I ordered a 10’ non polarized cord and it worked great.

    Amazing value! Replaced a Samsung all-in-one blu-ray/5.1 home theater system that gave up the ghost after a decade. The eARC auto setup with my TCL Roku TV couldn't have been easier. Fantastic sound quality and the wireless satellite speakers are a really nice touch!

    Don't let the 4 star rating fool you, I bought this system for someone else and it sounds really good. Especially the Bass! I wasn't expecting that much low end from such a small sub but this thing will hit some low frequencies without issue. I'm use to hearing my home theater system which is a traditional Atmos setup with 1100 watts of total power so it has more of a "Punch" during explosion scenes. This is obviously not that but overall, it's loud and handles Atmos and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround signals very well for a budget friendly system. I highly recommend it to anyone who don't have the space for a traditional surround sound setup.

    Lets start off with this ive heard surround sounds from Denon and Klipsch and ive heard sound bars from bose yamaha and polk and honestly for a 5.1.2 setup this walks all those other brands unless you step up to a 7.1.2 but we are comparing this to those other 5.1.2 setups and im not joking ive never heard such amazing sound come out a speaker in my life and the output of that subwoofer omg its powerful!!!! For $300 its the best out there idk how the quality will last longevity but omg if you are reading this please hit buy right now and i promise you wont regret it plus it wont break the bank account compared to those other brands ive named

    For a budget Atmos soundbar, I'm pretty happy with this setup. The audio quality from the soundbar itself is fantastic, making dialogue crisp and clear. The directional sound on the bar itself is also impressive. It very clearly distinguishes sounds coming from the side channels. The subwoofer works great and provides great bass. The rear speakers are my biggest conplaint. When louder sounds are coming out of them, it sounds great, but lower sounds come out very crackley. It sounds as if they aren't receiving enough signal. All in all, its a solid option for budget Atmos system if you can tolerate possible staticky audio from the rear speakers.

    We purchased this sound bar with our Hisense 75" U8 TV and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the sound. While the soundbar, subwoofer and satellite speakers were very easy to setup - getting the soundbar and TV to synch with the EARC was a little tricky, but most likely due to my inexperience. However, once connected it is so nice driving the TV and sound bar from one remote. Movies are amazing with this soundbar, streaming music from our phones through the soundbar is fantastic, highly recommend this if you are in the search for a good system to supplement your television viewing.

    I have had this system for a week and the sound is awesome! This was a replacement for my old Vizio system that I loved but the surround speakers started going in and out so I needed something new. I was really impressed by the sound quality from the surrounds in this system. Now I get a much more immersive experience. Its got plenty of power too! I keep the volume pretty low because I dont want to disturb my neighbors in the building. I do have one complaint though and I hope Hisense will address it with future models. The cables for the surround speakers have these huge chunky connectors that cannot fit through my speaker stands. I managed to rig them to my stands but unfortunately the cords cannot be hidden. I’m going to try to find new stands with a wider pole that will accomodate the cords. But as far as sound quality goes, I could not be happier. I also love how it integrates with my Hisense TV (U7) so I can control all of the settings on screen, that’s a big plus. I definitely recommend this system and I hope Hisense will keep making soundbars. I’m new to Hisense, got my TV a few months ago and it’s true what the reviews say, they offer great quality and value. I will continue to buy their products in the future.

    In need of replacing an old surround component system, I was looking for a smaller footprint - thus a soundbar seemed logical. I didn't want to invest too much money in a setup but I did want surround and ATMOS. Already owning a TCL television with the Roku operating platform, I decided to purchase this Hisense. Setup was super easy and connection was seamless using the eRAC. Even after reading all the reviews, I was shocked at how well this unit sounds. Plenty of bass without disturbing the clarity of voices. It really is an immersive experience when you listen to an ATMOS movie. I am extremely pleased with this 5.1.2 soundbar and I'm glad (like my TV) that I didn't get scared away because it wasn't from a big name manufacturer. The only thing I would change would be the remote. The printing is small and not bright enough. Also it would be a huge plus if it was back lit. For the price, you can't go wrong with this soundbar!

    Bought this along with a Hisense tv after messing with the demo unit in store. Great sound. Lots of bass from the sub. Nice sound modes you can try out to match what you are watching (movie, news, sports, music etc). The AI mode doesn’t quite pick the correct preset of sound to what’s playing so I tend to choose the mode myself. Downside: the unit plays a jingle every time you turn it on and off and there is no way to not have it play. That means, when my partner has fallen asleep and I turn the tv off the loud jingle plays to say it’s shutting down. Wakes her up every time. Secondly, the surrounds have blue lights on them that blink or stay on most of the time. In a dark bedroom, that light source is annoying. Lastly, it randomly turns on and off sometimes, playing the jingle. It’s done this when we are sleeping and wakes us up. Hindsight, even though the sound is pretty good, I wouldn’t have impulse purchased this with the tv without more research.

    This Surround Sound System Is The Best Investment I Did Not Know I Needed!! I Was Kinda Forced Into Purchasing This System After My New Hisense TV Would Not Work With My Old Soundbar. I Bit The Bullet And Got This One…..From The Moment I Installed It, Until Now …. I Smile At How Clear & Robust The Sound Is!! It’s Giving Me Movie Theater Sounds In My Bedroom!! To Be Honest, I Love This System So Much, I Purchased A Second System For My Living Room!! It’s Easy To Install/Setup, And Those Wireless Speakers Are A Game Changer!!

    I kept coming back to this Hisense 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup because of the sheer number of features for the price. Rear speakers that don't need a wire between them (far more expensive "name brand" systems require that stupid wire. How is that wireless?), Atmos, subwoofer included, etc. My only problem was that my local Best Buy didn't have one to listen to. I stopped at another location when I was out of town in the hopes that they had one on display, and I was in luck. It was only the bar (not the satellites or sub), but it was enough. It sounded great! When I got it home and installed, even my audiophile uncle was forced to admit it sounded good. Proof that great sound doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. It doesn't compare to some of the 1000$+ setups that I listened to, but at this price point it's hard to argue. Hands down a great addition to my game room. Don't just take my word for it. Lots of "professional reviewers" have this highly ranked as well!

    The Sound is Surprisingly Awesome!

    I was skeptical on purchasing this soundbar system at first but after reading reviews, I went ahead a purchased this as a bundle with the my new Hisense 65" U8K TV. I didn't know that Hisense made soundbars and I must say that it sounds awesome. The speakers are clear and sharp, the surrounds get loud, and the bass is boomy! The best part IMO is that each speaker is wireless and all you need is a power outlet near where you want to place each rear surround and subwoofer. Yes, you have to plug them in to power them on, but you do not have to connect them through the subwoofer and then out to each rear surround speaker like older systems. This allows you to basically place them wherever you want in the room, especially the subwoofer to get that best placement for low end sound (bass). I would recommend this speaker system and the price was great! I wish they had a 5.1.4 system so heights could be on top of the rear surrounds as well. If they come out with that, I will definitely purchase!

    This is a great value for the money system. At this price, you can never get wireless surround sounds, but yeah, they offer it with this one. It plugs in to the wireless sub. And then you run the surrounds off of that. So you could put the sub in the back of the room. Somewhere. And run the speaker wire to the corners where you place the surround sounds, and uh, for the price. And to get Dolby Atmos and surround sound, it sounds amazing for a system that is not one of the leading brand names and is well within anybody's budgets who wants to upgrade from regular TV speakers? It makes the voice is more clear and direct. The surround sound works well and with the Dolby Atmos height speakers. It makes you feel like you're in a movie. Theater, and all of that comes in this cheap all in one package, couldn't be happier.

    I wont go over everything, as other reviews touch on most things, but I agree it sounds and works great. I will just mention a couple of the oddities I have found....1) It will not remember it's last mode when it comes out of standby, in other words, if I turn it's virtual surround modes off, which I do for stereo content to get the most clear dialog, when it comes out of standby, it goes back into "Surround Pure" which doesn't sound good for non-surround content. I wish it would stay in the last mode. 2) The manual doesn't mention what the surround modes mean, I had to discover on my own, with the help of one sentence on rtings, that "Surround Pure" and "Surround Pro" are virtual surround modes and I don't like them as noted in item 1 above. Just put it in "Surround Off" and you get great stereo sound and content with surround formats still play as expected with all the speakers including Atmos. 3) It really could use a room correction feature. My satellites are unavoidably close to my seating, and even at -4 set for their level, they are often too loud. My workaround is to just point them somewhat away from me since they are just sitting on my end-table. I suppose that affects accuracy, but I don't notice, and it quiets them down a little more. Overall I'm really happy with the AX5125H, really immersive even if their height performance is very average.
