Hisense HS218

The Hisense HS218 is adequate for mixed usage. Out-of-the-box, this soundbar has a pretty neutral, though slightly dark, sound profile that's still suitable for listening to most types of audio content. There are also some sound customization features to help you get a more neutral sound if you prefer. While it supports surround content, unfortunately, it doesn't provide a very immersive listening experience. It doesn't reproduce a very extended low-bass, disappointing for fans of bass-heavy music and action movies.
