With the darker nights drawing in and many of us sticking indoors, you might be looking for a way to enjoy movies and shows with the best sound possible.
The good news is that you can thanks to a great budget sound system that has been deemed 'fabulous' by reviews - and it won't send you back a huge amount of cash.
Amazon is selling the Hisense AX5100G soundbar, subwoofer and side speakers for £177.98, which is a great price when you compare it to other sound systems. Most sound systems like this will send you back more than £500 - but this Hisense system is a better bang for your buck.

It comes with 340 W of sound power which is plenty to fill most rooms. The 6.5” subwoofer serves up some punchy bass, adding extra depth to soundtracks and explosive action. Plus, you can wall mount the dual rear speakers for true surround sound.
You can control the sound bar with your TV remote thanks to EzPlay and features HDMI with eARC which supports Dolby Atmos passthrough, so that's less cable clutter.
And for music lovers, you'll be able to stream music from your phone or tablet using Bluetooth – or plug in a USB stick. The system also comes with AI EQ technology so it can let your device optimize every scene for the perfect listening experience.
Reviewers have also fallen in love with the system. One person said: "Wanted a surround kit for the bedroom purchased this as it is of the same manufacturer as the bedroom tv easy to operate and set up. Great watching films with great sound."
Another added: "Good surround sound bar system with a very good bass box. Very loud volume, sounds fabulous. Only poor things are the print on the remote is very faint and the bar displays are very hard to read."
A third reviewer also complained about wire lengths and position of sockets with the system. They added: "First annoying thing was that the soundbar has the power one end and the hdmi port at the other. Fixable but if you have it on a TV cabinet it is a bit messy to route the cables. Another issue, a common one is the power cables being a little short, especially for the rear speakers."
And if you want an alternative and don't mind going all out, Currys is selling the best-of-the-best sound system you can get from Samsung for £1199.
