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.

Great price for a great product!

The setup was so simple on my TCL tv. I didn't have to do anything, the tv set it up for me in seconds. The sound is good, there are multiple sound settings to choose from. My favorite part is being able to use my tv remote for the volume and power so that I don't have to have two remotes out all the time. Great product with a reasonable price. I definitely recommend it.

Had those for about a month niw, the sound quality is amazing. TV volume doesn't need to go over 10 for great sound quality. There's a companion app that helps control the sound bar, and has bonus features like night mode.

Best soundbar for the money

Great value for the money. Of course there are better soundbars but all you need for a bedroom or small living room. Easy set up and really good sound.

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???

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.

Great item for better than TV speaker sound

Good soundbar at an excellent price. It connected easily and was ready to work out of the box. I gave a 3 star rating ONLY because it did not have the bass and "feeling" of being in the scene. If you want something that would be better than just the TV speaker sound - then this is a great product for you. I would recommend for those wanting better sound over their TV speakers

We're glad to hear that setup was easy, the soundbar worked well right out of the box, and that you found it to be a great value. We also appreciate your comments regarding the bass performance and overall immersion. The S45H is designed to provide a noticeable upgrade over built-in TV speakers in a simple 2.0-channel package, and we're pleased to hear it delivered on that goal. Feedback like yours helps other customers understand where the product excels and what type of listening experience to expect. Thank you for choosing TCL and for recommending the soundbar to others! Thank you, Sara TCL Customer Support

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.
