I also bought this model from Best Buy a couple of days ago for $200. If you are just looking for cheap and something that sounds better than the television by itself, this is a solid choice.
i have it and for the price its really good… if u are going to watch movies with it its perfectly fine specially for the price…don’t listen to expensive soundbar fans who only “knows” samsung, sony and sonos
Get the Hisense Ax3120, or the more cheaper HS3100. Both 3.1ch. since you don't want rears.
Get an Hisense soundbar. Since you don't want rears i would recommend the HS3100 3.1ch soundbar. It's a budget but powerful bass and mids. Vocals is quite amazing too! I use the HS5100 model with rears. Or the AX3100 also... Check the other post. Some guy complaining about the bass in his Hs2100 Hisense soundbar. Because it's strong. The hs2100 model is lower than the hs3100 model. So u can do the maths.
I have the Hisense ax3120q.
I have AX3120q in a bigger room and it is enough, even my neighbor who I share the wall with was Complaining about rambling when on 60%
I just got the hisense 3.1.2 Dolby atmos soundbar with sub and it's a beast. Very nice and loud. 250 ish
Beam gen 2 is awesome.. when on sale.. I have a Hisense x312 (or something like that) for my bedroom, and I'm happy that I replace my beam with it (I had promised my beam to a friend once he wasn't living on the streets any more, so I was happy and proud to give that and a TV to him).
