AX5120G

I picked up an AX5120G at a rock bottom price. It works. It has an aux in so I could connect a radio. It sounds WAY better than TV speakers. I have the surrounds maxed out and can barely hear them. Replaced an older True 5.1 system that blew its caps. A step down in quality, but I've got a kid in college, so its good enough.

Get a hisense 5.1 ch or 5.1.2.... Hs5100, Ax5120, u5120gw, ax5125h etc

maybe they've changed but i had the older cheap hisense 5.1.2 soundbar and it had noticeable static in the rears. i returned it for another one and exact same issue. from some comments online every single one had this, a design flaw. yet on user reviews they were highly rated. really have no idea i'm hardly an audiophile, the farthest from it. but i guess noone noticed that static. unbelievable. i also noticed, again not audiohpile so i cant say why, but music just didn't sound good on the hisense, beyond that static flaw. something just wrong. i've read some comments echoing that too. that hisense isn't good for music. so overall i think stick to the brands that know audio which for me are just Samsung, vizio (owned several vizio), and jbl. and i'm quite sure sonos lol, sony etc. maybe the new hisense are better but i dont trust them. they're also suspiciously cheap, like their 5.1.4 model goes for 399. now thats not fair by me because i love cheap chinese tv's like hisense and tcl that have served me well and give me the specs of a sony or Samsung that costs twice as much. but yeah for me i dont trust hisense soundbars after my experience. i'd at least make sure theres a way to return it if you dont like it.

I agree with you that it's better if the TV and soundbar are from the same manufacturer - that's why I ordered this Hisense 5.1.2 Atmos system for 239€... I hope it works well.

i technically had a model down (whatever Hisense’s 5.1.2 is called) but moreso i’m just saying the actual audio fidelity itself from pretty much any of LG’s atmos bars will absolutely steamroll the quality of the Hisense
