TCL - S45H S Class 2.0 Channel Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos, DTS Virtual:X, and Bluetooth Music Streaming - Black

Got this sound bar to compliment 42" TCL 4K SMART TV in spare bedroom for obvious reasons first being improve sound quality of the weak built-in tv speakers. One of the biggest reasons tv speakers are inadequate is because ALL streaming platforms, cable boxes etc these days "broadcast" their programs and movies in an audio format at a minimum for 5.1 surround setups to compliment the home theater revolution prevelent in many homes nowadays, like the custom built 7.2 THX high quality theater I built in my large family room starting in 2009 which for any HT hobbyists is a never ending process and takes up time and money and is really a labor of love and creativity! Now thats all well and good for our big living/family rooms, but what about our small bedrooms are we forced to suffer with horrible sound quality from tiny speakers with no ability to decode advanced quality sound formats like Dolby Digital, DTS, or the newest spatial audio enhancement Dolby Atmos? NO!! ALL these audio decoding options are great for recreating those cool sound effects directors and sound engineers spend millions of dollars and hours in studios for us to watch movies in our homes but they are also why our our loved ones complain about the volume being too loud trying to hear dialog that never seems clear enough, especially as we age. This is where the ever evolving audio technology of the sound bar like this little gem from TCL has truly changed the game, especially in small rooms like bedrooms but also little apartments. At 29" with its speaker layout and built in subwoofer is perfectly capable of not only an impressive amount of sound in a small footprint, especially mounting on a wall, even though my screen covers my speaker slightly it hasn't been an issue at all. Sonicly tonal quality that is great for listening to music from an array of digital platforms. Listening to various genres of music from classical to rock the system reproduces instruments wonderfully especially strings and piano, bass guitars and drums are punchy clear enough even without the separate subwoofer. Voices are very clear and concise in music but watching movies etc is where the digital dicoders and algorithms used to reproduce the separate audio bits and pieces in detail are where small systems like this really shine! Also important are its ease of use and setup although because i also have a small cable box hooked up to mine I had to use the optical connection and took a bit of trial and error on my part because that connection use is not covered very well in the instructions but it worked fine. So far enjoying playing around with the new toy oh which my 4 year old granddaughter really likes when it talks confirming adjustments etcetera...

I really like this soundbar — the design is sleek, modern, and fits perfectly with my setup. The sound quality is surprisingly good for its size, with clear dialogue, rich bass, and an overall balanced audio experience. It makes movies, music, and TV shows sound so much better, and it definitely feels like an upgrade from regular TV speakers. Overall, I’m very happy with it!

I love this speaker!! I’m so glad I purchased it. The sound is great! It’s very easy to setup. I plan on purchasing another one soon.
