Hisense U5120G Dolby Atmos Soundbar Review - Fantastic Value For Money

[@john-doe2023]

Which one is preferable when comparing this model with the JBL 500 Pro?

[@marcogonsalves5011]

Where can I buy the rear speakers I can't find them anywhere

[@nomash1298]

Not available to buy in USA for some reason at this time, does anybody know why that. Thanks

[@Mazahaka007]

I'm going to buy Hisense U5120GW tomorrow. I'll probably put a soundbar ABOVE the TV so that the upper speakers work better with the ceiling. Thank you for video.

[@gabrielnunez1874]

Please don't do that, the soundbar works mainly as Central speaker and front right and left speakers. If You place the sound bar over the TV You Will loose clear voice dialogue audio and the front left/right stereo audio The upfire speakers on the sound bar is just to create like a bubble or spherical audio experience, it works for Atmos experience, the upfire speakers share only specific sounds that reach the ceiling to bounce the sound and create the Atmos effect. If You mover tour sound bar above the TV You will brake how the sound system was designed for and You will not hear the correcta surround + Atmos experience.

Hi i just got it sounds good i have tidal music what is the best way i can play it so has the best quality

[@avinashss2207]

Is it possible to connect this with a PC ? With eARC for dolby atmos ?

[@saidomar8874]

Good review,,,,,,do you perhaps have an idea where and what type of rear speaker would work with this soundbar

[@GLITCHEDZA]

Not entirely sure. But Hisense is launching a new AX5100 version that includes a soundbar and two rear speakers in one package soon. Maybe that would be a better option to look at?

[@lycanhd]

Hisense U5120GW+ on Amazon has rears

[@sandeepjadhavipl]

@@lycanhd are these wireless rear speakers ? or wired?

[@lycanhd]

@@sandeepjadhavipl rear speakers typically connect to the subwoofer.

Hi. Can you control this soundbar with lg remote on a lg nanocell tv? Like changing sound modes ect?

[@GLITCHEDZA]

No you’ll only be able to adjust the sound. Standard HDMI CEC features. It doesn’t allow you to adjust technical settings on the soundbar. Only certain LG soundbars let you do this. Same as Samsung TVs and Samsung Soundbars. They make them to link settings together. Mixing a brand means you can only adjust the volume. You can still tweak the TV audio settings. But most TVs lock audio settings when a soundbar is connected because the soundbar should be tweaked instead.

[@m4nc1n1]

How does it compare to the Visio M512A-H6?

[@twelvecarattoothace6439]

I have the same question

[@manuoz3545]

does this work with LG QNED 65 inch tv ?

[@GLITCHEDZA]

Yes it will work with all TVs.

[@suzannepage3549]

I have an lg qned 75 55" I've bought this hisense soundbar it does work with my lg qned

[@shariqhussain9353]

Can i add anything additional for more sound ? Like extra sub woofer or speaker with this ? I already bought this today .

[@GLITCHEDZA]

Not that I know of. I will contact my Hisense PR guy and find out if there are any addition speakers for this unit. I don't think so but worth a try.

[@shariqhussain9353]

@@GLITCHEDZA alright

[@GIVE_A_DAMN88]

A 5.1.2 Atmos soundbar doesn't really need rear speakers as Atmos provides immersion and the sound is all over the room. Yes the sound is front heavy because it's a soundbar. But you won't need rear speakers especially with a 5.1.2 as the side firing speakers takes care of that, rather than a 3 1.2 which doesn't.

[@BattleRapMultiverse]

Yes you can add 2 more rear speakers, but the reviews say that they come in and out and crackle when outputting sound. I came to this review hoping they'd have the rear speakers as well.

[@controversialjoe]

​@@GLITCHEDZAdid you manage to find out? Hisense said they would have rear speakers for this particular set, I saw the one that has them from manufacturing but not yet seen the rear speakers for the U5120G

[@thefirstgoliath9686]

Is there any place that I can get the firmware updates?

[@GLITCHEDZA]

Depends on your region. You might need to contact Hisense support directly to arrange the files.

[@thefirstgoliath9686]

I am from South Africa as well!😀@@GLITCHEDZA

[@controversialjoe]

Can I get seperate rear speakers for this item?

[@GLITCHEDZA]

Sadly not. You need to go for the rear speaker soundbar. It is a pity because this soundbar is much better and could do well with some rear speakers.

[@Rafinator14]

Compared to the Vizio m series how good is this?

[@MaleReview]

I’m comparing it right now to the v series 5.1

[@The_Maw]

@@MaleReview was the hisense that bad?

[@MaleReview]

@@The_MawI never purchased the Hisense

[@hoolahoola8194]

Is it Sony Oled tv ?

[@fivestringsword]

Is the mode LED on all the time or does it time out and turn off after a mode has been selected? Or is there an option to turn it off?

[@GLITCHEDZA]

You can turn it off completely. There’s a “dimmer” button if I can recall. Either on the remote or in the settings.

[@DieBe3er]

Dolby atmos does not come from rear speakers my dude it comes from the upfiring speakers prjecting the sound over your head from the ceiling, so if you want true dolby ATMOS you should get a home theater with speakers on the main towers firing up or mounted on the ceiling firing down towards your couch. rear speakers are for true surround sound

[@andrewenglish3810]

If they offer it in North America I would consider it.

[@shidinglfet4740]

I mean. It's in the USA!

[@andrewenglish3810]

@@shidinglfet4740 Where can I order this online since I live in Canada...No one here in Canada has it, and the Hisense website only shows the 2.1 versions.

[@tedrik1346]

How does this sound on a large open space living room? I have soundbars that sound great in small rooms with close walls..but sounds terrible in our large open concept living room.

[@GLITCHEDZA]

This might not sound as good in a large room tbh. It relies on walls and low ceilings to bounce the Dolby Atmos sound around. Unless your ceiling is low enough and you sit close enough to this, it might get lost in the large open space.

[@tedrik1346]

Finally purchased it..big mistake. Sounds "chirpy" like there's an extra sound at the end of every spoken word. The base and treble settings do nothing. Tried it in a smaller room thinking it would sound better..nope! Wife thinks it sounds tinny and cheap. Aesthetically it looks really nice with a solid build. Shame..I wanted to like it.

[@boutte88]

Did you use the surround mode ?

[@GLITCHEDZA]

I did test it. Stuck with it most of the time. The only mode I didn't enjoy was the AI mode.

[@boutte88]

@@GLITCHEDZA I’m having problems with it now the volume level is too low even when I raised the volume on it - it use to be louder I replace it and it’s still the same issue - do you know why this could be ?

[@GLITCHEDZA]

@@boutte88 Could be the input you're using. Have you tried different inputs to see if it is a widespread issue? Maybe plug a USB in and play music off it. Try the TV connection and then do BlueTooth. If the volume is low across all inputs then you'll need to get hold of Hisense for support. If it is just one input, the media is likely the issue.

[@boitumelokhune9136]

I bought this sound bar but there is no audio coming out I'm so frustrated

[@vedantdesai1]

Did you connect the eARC into your eARC port or just another HDMI port?

[@helenaeugenie6032]

You need to show how to install

How many this sound bar.
