Third-party reviews

What customers like about Hisense A620

  • The sound is clear and full for a bar of this size.
  • DTS Virtual:X gives films a wide, room-filling feel.
  • Bluetooth lets you play music from a phone.
  • Few cables are needed, so setup is simple.
  • A remote and a front control panel cover everyday use.
  • It is good value for an all-in-one bar.

What customers don't like about Hisense A620

  • The 4.75 in subwoofer gives thin bass for action films.
  • There is no Dolby Atmos, so there is no overhead effect.
  • There is no app, so the sound cannot be adjusted.
  • There are no HDMI inputs, so other devices must plug into the TV.
  • The design looks plainer than buyers expect.

Verdict

A simple upgrade for thin TV sound is the Hisense A620, a sensible place to start. Its strongest point is the sound, which many reviewers found clear and full for a bar of this size. DTS Virtual:X adds a wide, room-filling feel to films, and Bluetooth lets you play music from a phone. Setup is easy because there are few cables to connect, and the remote and front control panel cover everyday use. The trade-off is the bass. The subwoofer driver is only 4.75 in, and several listeners found it lacking in punch, so action films will feel lighter than with a bigger unit. The design is plainer than buyers expect. It fits a family that wants better sound for TV and music, without apps or extras.
