The HS1800 has a wireless subwoofer and standard HDMI ARC/Bluetooth inputs. It suits a modest TV-audio upgrade when rear surrounds are not needed.

Hisense HS2100: Better 2.1 system; wireless bass. See the live product price and images.

The HS2100 adds a 240W maximum 2.1 system with Dolby Audio, HDMI ARC and Bluetooth 5.3. Do not confuse it with the 280W HS2100S; they are different models.

Hisense HS3100 — 3.1 channels, 480W

Hisense HS3100: Centre-channel dialogue. See the live product price and images.

The HS3100 moves to 3.1 channels with a dedicated centre channel and 6.5-inch wireless subwoofer, useful for clear spoken dialogue. It supports Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X, not the AX-series Atmos decoder.

Hisense HS5100 — 5.1 channels, 540W

Hisense HS5100: Real rear surround speakers. See the live product price and images.

The HS5100 includes dedicated surround speakers and a wireless subwoofer for true 5.1 speaker placement. It has Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X. Do not label the bar itself as a native Dolby Atmos model.

Hisense AX3100Q — 3.1 channels, 500W

Hisense AX3100Q: Dolby Atmos decoding, compact front system. See the live product price and images.

The AX3100Q uses Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding in a 3.1-channel package with a wireless subwoofer, without dedicated physical rear satellites. This distinction matters for smaller rooms.

Hisense AX5100Q — 5.1 channels, 580W

The AX5100Q combines Dolby Atmos/DTS:X with true 5.1 channel layout and semi-wireless rear speakers. Select Hisense TVs can also work with EzPlay/Hi-Concerto; compatibility varies by television model.

2.1 vs 3.1 vs 5.1: choose by how you watch

2.1 channels cover left/right sound plus a subwoofer. They work well for simple TV audio and music. 3.1 channels introduce a centre channel that can help keep dialogue anchored to the picture. 5.1 channels add distinct rear sound positions and are better suited to people who can accommodate rear units and their cables or power connections.

Dolby Atmos is not the same as a 5.1 speaker count. AX3100Q handles Atmos in a front-only 3.1 layout; HS5100 has actual rear speakers but does not advertise native Atmos decoding. AX5100Q offers both Atmos decoding and rear surrounds. The room, content, source format and connections will influence the benefit.

Which model should you buy?

  • Lower-budget TV upgrade: HS1800 or HS2100, depending on price and preferred features.
  • Dialogue/news/sports: HS3100 is worth considering for its centre channel.
  • Rear-speaker cinema setup: HS5100 is the option to examine for surround placement.
  • Atmos without rear speaker placement: compare AX3100Q.
  • Atmos plus rear speakers: AX5100Q deserves an examination.

Kenya-specific buying checklist

  1. Check that your exact TV has an HDMI ARC or eARC socket; optical is an alternative on compatible systems.
  2. Confirm what comes in the Kenyan retail box, particularly rear speakers, subwoofer, HDMI cable and mounting brackets.
  3. Measure the cabinet and, for rear-speaker models, ensure you have appropriate power sockets and safe cable routing.
  4. Check warranty terms and delivery availability with Infinite Tech before payment.
  5. Read our general soundbar buying guide for common connectivity and channel explanations.
