Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- 200W total output across the 2.1 channel system produces noticeably fuller, room-filling sound compared to built-in TV speakers that typically deliver 10–20W.
- The wireless subwoofer adds genuine low-end presence — bass is felt as well as heard during movies and music, without a cable running across the floor.
- Single HDMI ARC connection handles both audio and remote control, reducing cable clutter and eliminating the need to manage two remotes for Roku TV users.
- Bluetooth connectivity lets the soundbar double as a standalone wireless speaker for music, independent of the TV.
- All necessary cables and wall-mounting hardware are included — no additional purchases required to get set up.
👎 Cons
- At 2.0 channel plus a subwoofer, the HS218 does not produce true surround sound — dialogue and effects come from one front bar, which limits the sense of audio positioning compared to a full 5.1 setup.
- The 60Hz refresh rate of the TV it's paired with is a separate consideration, but the HS218 itself has no audio processing modes like DTS or Dolby Atmos decoding — the audio format support tops out at the basics.
- The wireless subwoofer cannot be repositioned beyond the soundbar's wireless range, and very large rooms may not feel adequately filled by the single sub.
- As a renewed unit, the remote and accessories may show cosmetic wear, and the 90-day warranty is shorter than new-product coverage.
- Bluetooth streaming does not support aptX or high-resolution audio codecs — standard SBC quality only.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a separate remote to control the soundbar, or will my existing TV remote work?
If you have a Roku TV, the HS218 is Roku TV Ready — your Roku remote controls both the TV and soundbar volume through the HDMI ARC connection with no extra programming. For non-Roku TVs with HDMI ARC, most TV remotes can control soundbar volume via CEC; a Hisense remote is also included.
How far does the wireless subwoofer connect, and do I need to pair it manually?
The wireless subwoofer connects to the soundbar automatically — it pairs out of the box without any manual setup steps. Range is designed for typical living room distances; placing the sub behind a thick wall or at extreme distances may cause dropouts, but standard placement (beside or behind seating) works reliably.
What cables are included, and what do I actually need to connect this?
The HS218 ships with an HDMI cable, an optical cable, and a wall-mounting kit. For most setups, the HDMI cable is all you need — plug it into your TV's ARC port and you're done. The optical cable is there as a fallback for TVs without HDMI ARC.
Can I stream music directly from my phone without the TV being on?
Yes. The HS218 has Bluetooth built in, so you can pair your smartphone, tablet, or laptop and stream audio independently of your TV. The soundbar and subwoofer will operate as a standalone Bluetooth speaker system.
Is this soundbar wall-mountable?
Yes, a wall-mounting kit is included in the box. The hardware needed to mount the soundbar beneath your TV is provided without a separate purchase.
