Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I love this soundbar! It was incredibly easy to set up, and the sound quality is amazing. It really feels like being at the movies—just without all the heavy vibration. Plus, the price was very affordable.

Really good Soundbar for the price! Great sound quality with variety of setting options.

Good price and good sound quality. No complaints and love the slim design.

So far so good!!! After having a Vizio soundbar for roughly 10 years, it was time for an upgrade. Recently did a complete upgrade on TV and soundbar and stuck with TCL on both and I couldn’t be anymore pleased. Great sound with Dolby atmos (which I never tried myself before). But overall great experience so far.

Must buy product with these new slim televisions..

This soundbar is pretty solid. I’m not an audiophile or anything, i just needed something afordable for movies/music after work and i was pretty impressed. I also like the voice feature that let you know which settings you’re using.

The sound exceeded my expectations! Great Quality!

Purchasing these TVs has been a nightmare from start to finish. Best Buy set up an appointment date and canceled it within an hour of the appointment TWICE. Finally, by the third rescheduled appointment, they showed up and installed my TVs. After they left, I realized one of them has a malfunctioning corner shadow. At this point, I would rather deal with it than have to go back and deal with Best Buy customer service ever again. Service and products both terrible. Shop somewhere else!

This Sound Bar Is Now Begun Make Cracking Sounds And The Sounds Of Static!

I just bought a 55” TCL QM5K that I’m really enjoying and decided to also get this, I had the TV for 2 days before I added the speaker and wasn’t sure I even needed a soundbar because the TV has a nice Onkyo speaker system built in but have been very impressed with the new speaker, I hooked it up to the TV using the HDMI e arc, makes it super simple. Love how easy it is to use, setup, etc- and besides loving it for watching TV, gaming, movies, what I really like is that it’s become my new Bluetooth speaker for listening to ITunes or Sirius XM, before I was using the Apple home pod speaker, this blows that away. What I’m finding is that TCL makes great quality products, both the TV and soundbar have far exceeded my expectations.

Bought this as an upgrade from the TCL alto 6 soundbar to pair with an upgraded TCL TV. The smaller profile is a big plus, sound is decent, defintely better than internal speakers. But the sound+internal speakers is an awful echo (QM6K), makes no sense since the Brand created the sound option but it doesn't work with their own products. But I do like the product compared to the alto 6, the connectivity to the TV is much smoother, the remote/options are better, the no light to show it is on is nice, but the sound quality is the same. has not improved.

I’m very happy with the TCL S45H sound bar. The sound quality is clear and powerful, especially for its size, and it significantly improves my TV’s audio. The design looks sleek and modern, and it blends well with my home setup. Installation was very easy and straightforward—I had it up and running within minutes. Overall, it’s a great value for the price and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, good-sounding sound bar.

Good sound, connects to TV seamlessly, easy to set up. Good option if you don't opt for surround sound.

Super easy and straight forward to use. Decided to get this for an old tv that the built in speakers had started sounding terrible and buzzy/blown. So instead of getting a new tv since other than the sound the one I have works great, the soundbar was the perfect solution!

This soundbar is powerful and sounds amazing! It was super easy to set up using Bluetooth-dont bother with the hdmi connection if you dont have to because I tried that first, and it did not work with my other devices. It has a nice level volume, especially when commercials tend to be louder, this soundbar keeps the levels nice and even.

Great sound from a small yet stylish package. Easy to connect, looks great, and outs out great sound.

TCL S45H S Class 2.0-Channel Sound Bar: A straightforward and well-priced upgrade to your TV’s audio. Setup is easy via HDMI eARC or Bluetooth, and it supports Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X for immersive sound at this price point. Dialogue and mid-range clarity are very good, but because it lacks a dedicated subwoofer, the bass isn’t as deep as higher-end systems. Great value for daily use and streaming content, especially if you’re looking for solid sound without spending a lot.
