TCL - Z100 Wireless Home Theater Speaker with Dolby Atmos FlexConnect Technology - Black

The speakers sound great with good bass but some flaws. First, they started randomly cut in and out. I finally was able to figure out that the 2.4 frequency from my modem was interfering with the 5 ghz the speakers need to operate. I had to turn off the 2.4 ghz in order for them to work properly but now things I have that can only run off 2.4 ghz can't work. For $300 a pop speakers I shouldn't have to choose what items I want to run properly. Second, the tv seems to have a tough time calibrating with them. The first couple of times it was fine but now I have to run it multiple times for it to finally figure it out. And this is all with the speakers within 5ft of the TV so it's not like they're out of range. I would recommend these speakers because they sound great but be very aware.

The TCL Z100 wireless surround sound speakers are built specifically for TCL TVs that feature Dolby Atmos FlexConnect in my case that would be the TCL QM9K 75" which is currently the finest TV I own. There is also a subwoofer but I have not yet bought that. I bought these with my own money from my local Best Buy and in short, with the right content and surround Codec (Dolby ATMOS) they are quite impressive. I am a now retired Electronics Technician with a passion for audio and video and those two worlds happily collide in the realm of modern movies. I have long had a Denon AVR-X4300H bought in 2016 at my local Best Buy for our home theater. The 9.2 channel setup of consists of 9 speakers and 2 powered 8" subwoofers all wired into the Denon AVR. It is fantastic! I also own a Denon Home Soundbar paired with 2 Home 150s as wireless rear channels and a Denon Home powered subwoofer. When I got the TCL QM9K I knew my wife would want me to buy and try the companion Z100 speakers so I went to my local Best Buy and ordered up a pair! Setup, which often takes about a half hour for best results with my Denon AVR took only a few minutes and is easily done via the controls and easy to follow instructions in the menu of the QMK series of TVs! Did I just say setup takes minutes. That's it! Super fast and ridiculously easy. I put on the 4K version of "Aquaman" and adjusted the TVs Volume to suit my taste. Per a quite web check, the TCL Z100 has the following in each speaker enclosure: 1 x Front-facing Dome Tweeter (silk membrane, 0.8 inches) for clear highs. 1 x Front-facing Midrange Driver (2 inches) for vocals and dialogue. 1 x Front/Down-firing Woofer (4 inches) dedicated to bass and low frequencies. 1 x Upward-firing Driver (angled at 15 degrees) specifically for overhead height The results with the right film and volume settings are quite impressive! There was a LOT of rear channel sound coming from both the front firing and top/bottom firing Z100s in high action sequences of "Aquaman". "Predator" was equally fantastic as was "Troy" and many more. Is it as impressive as my 9.2 channel set up? In a word, no. But it is without a doubt far more impressive in that it takes up pretty much 95% of the room space as the more involving and bulky 9.2 channel system. My wife is also much happier because of the downsizing in our media room! I have had a Dolby Surround setup since they first became available in the mid-80s and Dolby Atmos has been with me since 2016. The TCL Z100s are both a great gateway to a fully multi-channel system and if you are lacking the space they provide much of the affect you are looking for and in truth you can add the TCL 100 Subwoofer and 2 more TCL Z100 speakers to the QM9K TV or you can have 3 TCL Z100 speakers and skip the subwoofer for a total of 5 (!) wireless Z100 speakers!! I may give that a go at a later time by adding the Z100 powered Subwoofer! Highly recommended? Indeed!

Easy to set up, and the sounds is great. Very surprised at the output quality.
