In a move set to electrify audiophiles and cinephiles alike, Hisense has unveiled a groundbreaking audio partnership with French high-end audio pioneer Devialet. Announced today, the collaboration promises to redefine sound quality across Hisense’s premium home theater lineup, starting with its flagship ULED TVs and Laser Cinema projectors.
A Symphony of Engineering
The alliance leverages Devialet’s legendary acoustic expertise—honed in luxury speakers like the Phantom—to engineer bespoke audio upgrades for Hisense’s visual powerhouses. Expect technologies like SAM® (Speaker Active Matching), which optimizes speaker performance in real-time, and HBI (Heart Bass Implosion) for distortion-free low frequencies. As Devialet’s CEO Franck Lebouchard stated, "This isn’t just about volume; it’s about emotional resonance."

Targeted Models and Market Rollout
The upgrade will debut on Hisense’s 2025 ULED series, including the acclaimed U8QG Mini-LED TV (detailed here), lauded for its 4K 144Hz panel and 5,000+ dimming zones. Devialet-tuned soundbars and wireless subwoofers will follow, transforming living rooms into immersive theaters.
Why It Matters
Hisense has aggressively expanded its home entertainment footprint, blending cutting-edge displays with accessible pricing. As noted in GSMGoTech’s January analysis, this Devialet tie-up is a strategic play to dominate the premium segment, challenging Sony and Samsung. Early demos highlight crisper dialogue, thunderous bass without "boominess," and soundscapes that track on-screen action millimeter-perfectly.
Pricing and Availability
Devialet-enhanced Hisense products arrive in Q3 2025. While exact pricing remains under wraps, insiders hint at modest premiums over standard models—positioning them as value alternatives to Sonos-Arc setups.

The Bottom Line
This partnership signals Hisense’s audacious bid to lead the "sight-and-sound" arms race. For consumers, it means theater-grade acoustics without the luxury markup. As one industry insider quipped, "Devialet just made Hisense the ultimate party host."
Update: Hisense confirms Devialet tech will also extend to its upcoming Laser TV lineup.
