Hisense HS2100 2.1 Channel Soundbar $149 C&C / In-Store ($144 via Price Beat Button, C&C Only) @ The Good Guys

250

I just noticed a price drop on this 2.1 channel soundbar. Decent ratings for the price: https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/reviews/hisense/hs2100

I got the price to $144 by using the automatic Price Check: Price Beat button on The Good Guys website.

The soundbar is the same price on The Good Guys eBay store. I wasn't able to get the price lower than $144 on eBay with my current promo codes.

NOTE: Delivery is currently listed as unavailable on The Good Guys website. However, delivery is still available via The Good Guys eBay store to all parts of Australia, excluding QLD Far North and WA Remote.

    how much are they usually priced?

    • +5

      Try googling?

    • RRP is $249 (from my understanding). The Good Guys had the sound bar on sale at $199 last week, then increased back to $249, and now down to $149.

      Regardless of how unimpressive a cheapo Hisense soundbar (three things in a row that are against sound quality) is going to be, it will still be better than most TV speakers. For starters the drivers will be facing the viewer, instead of facing the back wall and resulting a load of reflected sound between the TV and the wall.

        I'm wondering if TCL is the outlier here because the sound from my C845 is good.

          Why the neg? I've got C845 and I'm happy with it's sound. Don't think these cheapo bars are going to be that better to the stock sound.

          • @cherpu: Same my C845 has good sound out the box, but playing Dolby Atmos content, Plex or Stremio it becomes quiet, tempted to go 5.1, 9.1.4 or 11.1.4.

          Good compared to what, though?

          There's no magic sauce that can really turn around the constraints of very, very small drivers that are facing either straight down into the TV cabinet, or firing at the back wall. Either way, you're getting a huge load of reflections. In isolation, it might sound okay, but compared directly against a dedicated sound system (way bigger and higher quality drivers, not reflecting off strange directions) it's probably going to show some shortcomings.

          Flatpanel TVs went as thin as possible to sell better, the consequence of this is that space for speakers practically disappeared.

          The thing about audio though is that it's incredibly subjective. Some (possibly most) people are happily oblivious to graduations in quality. Which is why people can happily wear Bose ANC or Marshall headsets, but then audio nuts will spend thousands on wired open back speakers at home.

          You won't know the difference unless you listen for it, and compare to other setups. But if you're happy, that's the important thing.

      You really want minimum of 3.1 so you get the centre channel for dialogue.

      • -2

        Not really. I have had surround sound for over 30 years and now have 7 channels plus 2 subwoofers so have quite a bit of experience.

        A "phantom" centre channel can be created by the front left and right speakers and in my experience its very effective. If I had to give up a speaker from my system it would definitely be the centre, because its loss would cause the least impact.

        Edit; forgot to add if the TV or soundbar does not have surround sound decoding ability a centre speaker cannot add any dialogue or other benefit at all anyway.

    • It’s almost as if there shouldn’t be any option for lowest tiers

  • Looking for 3.1 if you guys know any good deals let me know!
