Our Verdict

Hisense HS218

Samsung HW-A450

The Samsung HW-A450 is a bit better for mixed usage than the Hisense HS218. The Samsung soundbar has a better soundstage performance, and it has more sound enhancement features, such as a graphic EQ. Some listeners may also prefer its more balanced sound profile out-of-the-box. That said, the better-built Hisense offers better center and surround performances.
