Samsung Soundbar B73CD vs Hisense AX Series 5.1ch Soundbar

The Hisense AX Series is the stronger pick for movie nights: it decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, has a bigger 6.5-inch subwoofer, and lists higher rated power. The Samsung B73CD is the better fit for a smaller room or a Samsung TV, with a compact main unit, built-in center and side speakers, and Alexa plus Wi-Fi built in. Owners of both report solid sound for the money, but the Hisense's larger sub and Atmos support give it more headroom for a dedicated home theater.

• Choose the Samsung B73CD if you want a compact bar that pairs cleanly with a Samsung TV, need built-in Alexa and Wi-Fi, or have limited space for a subwoofer.
• Choose the Hisense AX Series if Dolby Atmos and DTS:X matter to you, you want a larger subwoofer for deeper bass, or you watch a lot of action and Atmos-encoded content.
