I like it that Hisense also provides a very good Atmos soundbar at an affordable price. I wanted to buy the Samsung 5.1.2 QA800b, but this one is just as good for almost half the price.

[@jesusmarin95]

I doubt it I have the q800b. they had this next to a q600c and it didn't even sound ass good a low end q series soundbar

[@Samzep]

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

[@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.

[@avinashss2207]

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

[@marcogonsalves5011]

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

[@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.

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

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.

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

[@hoolahoola8194]

Is it Sony Oled tv ?

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@helenaeugenie6032]

You need to show how to install

[@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.

[@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?

[@Mustafa.Ahmed.]

How many this sound bar.

[@controversialjoe]

???

[@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.

[@dennisswab6020]

got 312 no bass , weak sound

Only gets good bass if you turn up bass and virtual x to on to do this press and hold centre d pad button it does bring up a menu turn on virtual x to get lots of bass
