Short answer: the Hisense AX5140Q. It ranks #5 of 10 surround sound soundbar systems by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $348.99; the LG S80TR ranks #10, rated 3.4/5, and costs $580.49, so there is little reason to consider the other one.
Why pick the Hisense AX5140Q: A full 5.1.4 system with a wireless sub and wireless rears that both have up-firing drivers, so movies get real overhead and behind-you effects. It keeps a wired aux input, which the LG S80TR lacks. Watch for: There is no Wi-Fi, so music streaming relies on Bluetooth.
What the LG S80TR does well: A full surround set at an approachable size, with wireless rear speakers and sub that link to the bar without a separate transmitter. It streams over Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, which the Hisense AX5140Q cannot. The catch: The sub lacks some low-end thump, so big explosions feel lighter than they could.
Buy the Hisense AX5140Q. It is rated higher for sound quality than the LG S80TR and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
