Short answer: a tie on sound quality, though neither ranks well in its class. Both are rated 2.9/5 (#24 and #26 of 27 all-in-one soundbars) at nearly the same price ($99.99 vs $98), so choose on features and fit. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 27 all-in-one soundbars; for better sound, the Hisense A620 ranks #21 at $119.99.
What the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar does well: The Fire TV Soundbar is a compact, easy upgrade for a smaller TV, with clear dialogue and a Virtual:X mode that spreads sound wider than the bar. The catch: Bass is light and vague, so movies lack impact, and it turns harsh when pushed loud.
Why pick the Sony HT-S100F: The HT-S100F is a simple, slim bar that makes speech easier to follow than most flat TV speakers, and its Voice mode lifts dialogue further for late night news or talk shows. Watch for: Bass is thin and rolls off early, so action movies lack weight and there is no way to add a subwoofer.
Buy the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar or the Sony HT-S100F on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.
