Used with older people in a meeting room

We purchased this with a TCL 55" TV for a meeting room at our parish. Several older people were having trouble hearing the old TV and so we upgraded to a TCL TV with this soundbar. Integration with the TV was very easy and the sound level is plenty for the older people.

Possible Recommendation

I don't know if I would recommend this item because it is much better than the TV speakers with very easy installation and it works great with my TV Remote but my only complaint is it will sometimes say it is not connected and I have to unplug the HDMI ARC %26 then plug it back in for it to start working again. It could also be my TV???

Poor bass but crisp voices but no visible buttons

I'm not real familiar with soundbars. I had a set of powered speakers before and the sound was better(if not because they were bigger and had more bass). These seemed to have a more crisp sound in the mid-range so voices are clearer and we can understand movies better. They hooked up and synced well to our TCL Roku TV. My biggest gripe would be the "buttons". They are those sensor like buttons and you can't tell or feel if you pushed anything. Maybe I'm to old but they do nothing for me. Worst yet is that they have no visible labels on them. If you look close you can see black on black symbols but no backlight or other markings to make them visible. Makes no sense.

I really wanted to keep it

I really liked and wanted to keep this sound bar, the sound quality was great (at 20%, I thought it was at 100%), it looked sleek, price was just right, but with the Bluetooth not working (wouldn’t broadcast when pairing), I had to send it back. If you plan on only keeping the sound bar hard-wired at all times (to the eARC/ARC), I would DEFINITELY recommend this sound bar. Price and quality can’t be beat. The TCL app itself does work only if you link it to the TCL S4310 model since this model (S45H) does not appear on the app when setting it up or at least for me. If you need Bluetooth, I would recommend taking a gamble to trying to get it to work, if it works, great, if not, at least you been warned.

It makes a difference, worth it on a budget

this is a great sound bar if you can only afford to buy a low-cost soundbar that makes a difference. it makes a difference in a good way! I was able to have it attached to my wall, purchased the cord covers that matched my walls beautifully, beige, and it looks nice below my 55 in TV but I wish it were a little longer then it would look a little better proportioned. it has a considerable amount of Base and there is no scratchy sound it like other speakers that aren't quality speakers. I listened to my TV while it was turned off then turned it on and that's how I made my decision on keeping it. there was a significant difference that I didn't really notice when I didn't test it out like that and I was considering returning it since I'm on a budget, if it wasn't making much of a difference. it made enough of a difference that I decided to keep it. you won't get a quality home theater surround sound with this sound bar but you might be able to build on it with additional speakers in the future. if you can afford to, bend an extra $50 or so and get asset with the sound bar, subwoofer, and two small speakers. that's the only way you're going to get a true surround sound experience, but this will do in the meantime.

Got it on the cheap, so I have that going for me..

The Good: Set up: Relatively easy. Sound quality: 4 out of 5, but then again, two paper cups and a string are better than the downward-facing speakers on today's new TVs The Bad: Annoying: Push any mode button and it's announced from the bar e.g. bass adjustment, treble adjustment, night mode on/off, and there is no option to turn it off. That announcement comes out at whatever your volume is set to, so if you are rocking out and want to adjust the bass a little.. IT WILL BE LOUD! I'm actually surprised it doesn't announce "VOLUME UP" or "volume down" whenever you adjust the, well, volume. App.: Everything these days HAS to have an accompanying app.. This one includes "AI Sonic," to adjust the sound settings to your surroundings. AI? Really? Bottom line: Useless app. Updates: Just like apps, everything must be updated on today's devices and this is no exception. Whether or not you want them, you will get updates, for better or for worse.
