Short answer: the Yamaha True X Bar 50A. Both are rated 3.5/5 for sound quality (#7 and #5 of 16 soundbars with a subwoofer), and the Yamaha True X Bar 50A costs $199.99 against $249.99 for the Hisense AX3120Q, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it.
Why pick the Hisense AX3120Q: The AX3120Q brings up-firing Atmos drivers and a center channel, so dialogue stays clear and overhead effects are genuinely audible in films. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Yamaha True X Bar 50A lacks. The catch: The wireless subwoofer is the weak link, sounding clumsy and slightly out of step with music.
What the Yamaha True X Bar 50A does well: The bar and its wireless sub throw a broad, well-defined soundstage for movies, and Expert Reviews praised how articulate the sub sounds. It streams over Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, which the Hisense AX3120Q cannot. Watch for: Overhead effects are modest, and music sounds flat compared with movie playback.
Buy the Yamaha True X Bar 50A. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $50 less than the Hisense AX3120Q.
