240W and a genuinely slim sub for $130 — but no Atmos and only ARC.
Overall score 5.8/10
Pros

- + Bluetooth 5.3
Cons
- − No Dolby Atmos — Dolby Digital only

- − No Wi-Fi
- − It announces itself audibly at startup with no way to disable it
Hisense HS2100 review: what the specs say
240W and a genuinely slim sub for $130 — but no Atmos and only ARC. At $129.99, Hisense's 2023 model sits among the cheapest we cover — the soundbars we compare run from $129.99 to $1,999.99. It scores 5.8/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Value at 8.0/10 — performance and features relative to price. The weakest is Connectivity at 4.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: no Dolby Atmos — Dolby Digital only; and DTS Virtual:X is a virtualiser, not true DTS:X. Every specification on this page comes from Hisense's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
