Which is better for movies with real rear sound?

The Hisense AX700. Its 5.1.4 package includes separate wireless surround speakers, so effects come from behind you rather than being reflected off walls. The TCL Q75H is a 5.1.2 bar that simulates rear channels.

Is the TCL Q75H worth the extra $270?

If you use Apple AirPlay, watch DTS:X discs, or want a 6.5-inch subwoofer and 620 W of rated power, yes. If you mainly watch Dolby Atmos streaming and want rear speakers, the Hisense covers that for far less.

Which has better bass?

The TCL Q75H on paper, with a 6.5-inch subwoofer driver and up to 620 W total power. Hisense does not publish its subwoofer size or wattage, so the TCL is the safer bet for deep bass.

Do both support Dolby Atmos?

Yes. Both decode Dolby Atmos. Only the TCL Q75H also handles DTS:X and DTS Virtual:X.

Can I stream music from my phone to either one?

Both take Bluetooth. Only the TCL Q75H adds Wi-Fi 5 and AirPlay 2, which give better quality and range from Apple devices and network apps.

Which is easier to connect to a TV?

Both use HDMI eARC with CEC, so one cable and your TV remote handle power and volume. The TCL adds an extra HDMI input, optical and USB audio; the Hisense adds 4K HDR pass-through.
