Okay, let’s be honest for a second: TV speakers are usually terrible. Hisense is no exception. The sound on most models is thin and lacks bass—like listening to a tiny radio in a big room.
But here’s the fun workaround: they often include DTS Virtual: X or Dolby Atmos support. That means it tries to trick your ears into hearing surround sound, and sometimes it kinda works. For action movies, you’ll get a hint of rumble, but it’s no replacement for a soundbar.
My advice? Budget an extra hundred bucks for a basic soundbar. Pair that with a Hisense, and you’ve got a setup that rivals setups costing three times as much. It’s like buying a $20 steak and adding a $5 sauce—suddenly, it’s gourmet.
