Hisense HS214 soundbar - overview

 

Connecting the Hisense HS214 soundbar to a TV is standard - via the HDMI interface. There is an ARC function. You can control the volume and turn on the soundbar from the standard TV remote control. Communication between devices can be established without the help of wires via Bluetooth. Manage HS214, in this case, using the supplied remote control. The implementation is interesting - which remote control is more convenient, that one is used.

For other sound transmission methods, the well-known S/PDIF interface is provided. Here it is represented by two connectors Coaxial and Optical Toslink. Considering that most TVs have a digital output more often than an analog one, this is quite logical.

 

Not without the addition of various preset sound enhancement schemes. Implemented this for different types of content:

 

  • Watching a movie.
  • Listening to music.
  • TV news (voice).

The device has a high-speed USB 2.0 port for connecting drives in the FAT32 file system and up to 64 GB of memory. "High-speed" is a strong word, but it's enough for the job. And no one wants to overpay for USB 3.0. Through USB, you can play audio recordings in mp3 and wma formats. Uncompressed files are also supported - wav and flac.

 

Hisense HS214 has an automatic shutdown function. The soundbar automatically enters standby and power save mode if there is no connection with the signal source for 15 minutes.

For a small room, for a TV with a diagonal of up to 40 inches, the Hisense HS214 soundbar is a very interesting solution. The compact size will not interfere with placing the device on a computer gaming table. Confuses the built-in subwoofer, of course. But the gadget does not “knock down” so much to be afraid of resonance at high volume. For the $100 price tag, this is a great buy. There is interest in decent power, look at  soundbar Denon DHT-S517.
