Hisense - AX700

I just got mine this week. I love it so far. Really easy to setup and the subwoofer is pretty decent. Overall would buy again for the price.

I got mine today, the surround speakers are a bit soft but all in all the system sounds ok not mind blowing but ok especially for the price. Just some extra info, this is my first sound bar and first time experiencing Dolby Atmos except from what I hear in show rooms like best buy and Walmart. I have 13 feet ceilings that form a triangle at the top. Not sure if this is why I don't really feel the Atmos effect as I thought I would or maybe I am looking at the wrong videos. I checked Disney's what if which said Dolby Atmos on the bar as well the Batman where the batmobile enters and chases penguin didn't feel like the sound was coming from the ceiling. The surround speakers have their dedicated power supply, I think someone mentioned that it's just one power supply and u connect the one surround to the other, not the case for me, both had a power supply and no other cables. The bass is ok as well not earth shattering. First day with the system, still trying it out to see if I like it.

The Costco version doesn’t have Hi Concerto which kinda sucks :/

So I did indeed get the soundbar. So, a few notes: 1. I do have a 75" Hisense TV U7 mini -LED QLED. The TV does recognize sound settings and sends the proper signal to the soundbar via eArc when content is active. 2. I have a ps5 and played death stranding, an atmos supported title, and it was pretty awesome. Again, my ps5 is connected directly to the TV and not through the soundbar. In the ps5 menu, you need to make sure you enable atmos settings (details in the previous link). Hearing voices behind me, rain, and dialog when you turn around was a fun experience. 3. The subwoofer was lacking a bit, in my opinion. My last samsung soundbar seemed to have a bit more low-end rumble and clarity. Still, it's not bad but not great either. But it is plenty loud when cranked to 20 or more. 4. Dialogue is much clearer. But I'm still trying to dial in the settings for certain types of content. I've noticed the volume increases in weird increments. The system ui on the soundbar itself is clunky and, at times, downright irritating. Weird messages may pop up on the bar itselfand when I looked them up, it seem so to be a software issue. But it hasn't affected the sound, so I'm cautiously monitoring it. Hopefully, it won't be a larger issue later. 5. It is a substantial upgrade from my last soundbar. At the fair price point of $250. As an entry-level atmos soundbar, I'm gonna stick with it, as I'm having a lot of fun with it. But it may take a while to really nail down sound profiles for certain types of content.

Just set mine up. Worth the 250

Hisense AX700 from Costco. Only $250 for 5.1.4 system

Quick Review: I like these so far. Initially had some rear speaker sound issues that I troubleshooted to wireless interference from my WIFI (the wireless on these is 5.8ghz, towards the top of the 5ghz spectrum). Once fixed, they've chugged along well. They haven't complained about content thrown at them, plenty of volume. The height channels seem a bit weak, but they're difficult to test since youtube doesn't have height channels.

I'm not entirely sure. I messed with my router settings a few times, but I can't force frequencies on it, so they probably don't hold. That said, it hasn't been an issue since. The connection seems to hold all the time now.

Just got mine works great and for the cost it’s worth it . $250

I recently bought the Hisense ax 700 5.1.4 system from Costco for $250. 4 up firing speakers, 2 wireless surround speakers, Dolby Atmos, DTX, earc. It’s a lot of bang for the buck. I didn’t want to spend a lot, and I’m pleased with its performance.

Hisense ax700 from Costco for $250. It’s a5.1.4 system with Dolby Atmos and dtx. I bought it. It’s performs better than systems at twice the price. You won’t be disappointed .

My only complaint is the lack of hdmi 2.1 The eArc is nice though. Solid as an office or temp living room setup.

Is the message that is popping up for you SW IN? It just started popping up for me having had the soundbar now for a week or so. The manual says it is a speaker reconnecting but all the speakers work fine when it happens. The sound is really nice, so hopefully hisense will push a firmware fix for it but it seems unlikely.

I went through with an exchange with Costco, and it should be here tomorrow. I'll update when I get it set up and watch some videos to see if the error persists with a new unit. It's my first soundbar too (my father-in-law has one that sounds absolutely terrible to me) and I'm pretty happy with it overall after adjusting speaker settings. It's in my bedroom (16'x16') and it sounds good to my ears. I wish the center were louder for dialogue, even after turning it up, but that may just be my personal preference and I don't really have anything to compare it to that is apples to apples. But yeah, for the price, I'm happy with it, and would have kept it despite the error because nothing seemed effected other than my annoyance from the white flashing SW_IN error happening at least once an hour. Update: After having used the new soundbar for a few hours now I have not had the SW_IN error.

I got it recently and no complaints, sub could be a little stronger and wish it had more customizable settings but for an apartment it's perfect!

It's definitely stripped down. Just taking a quick look it's 500w vs 600w, doesnt have room calibration or the hi concerto integration with Hisense TVs (I have one). Overall seems like a good value but for those buying you may want to comb through the specs more

Take a look at Costco's Hisense AX-700.  $250 or so.  I'm using it for the viewing area only (20'x20') - it's Dolby Atmos so it creates a "sound dome". Remarkable for the price 

I got one and set it up the other day. I use it as PC speakers, so my expectations might not be very high, but for $250 they sound better in movies/games than the logitech z906 they are replacing. Musically I liked the z906 a little more. The Hisense subwoofer is mediocre (had to plug its port because it was too boomy), but overall you can’t get a new 5.1.4 system for cheaper.

Have you considered the Hisense 5.1.4 from Costco?

I was between the Vizio elevate SE and the Hisense. But for my works better rear wireless speakers and Costco warranty, I’m gonna miss WiFi on my soundbar but it’s ok, just brought it should arrive Saturday

We purchased a 75” Hisense U8 in later 2024 and it’s surprised the hell out of me. It was an NYT Wirecutter top pick for 2024. PQ is impressive and it has an impressive dynamic range— really dark shadows to eye-searing brights. We paired it with the Hisense Dolby Atmos 5.1 soundbar (includes subwoofer and two rear speakers) and that system has also astonished me with how good it is. Previously we had a structured wire 7.1 Yamaha speaker system run by a Sony receiver and I was worried that a mere “soundbar” would not satisfy.

I actually wasn't even looking at this company until recently. My dad got a 5.1 setup from the same brand and said it is decent and the sub does alot more than the one I got with a 5.1 from Hisense. That's why I starting looking at them. Based on other comments I think I'll either try it anyway and return it or just steer clear 

For $96 there is a hisense 5.1 with a sub and two speakers. Hisense is absolutely cheap , but it was a much difference to me compared to price value of the TCL S45H
