Decided to pick up this Q65H soundbar to upgrade my sound experience to go with my QM8 I originally had a soundbar already but it wasn’t as loud or clear as i would have wanted it. Especially when I would watch at night and cant have my shows too loud. It has a night mode option that lowers the dynamic volume to a quieter environment. Right off the bat super easy to set up, you just have to plug in the power cable from the soundbar as well as the subwoofer. Hdmi does come included so all you have to do is plug it in the earc and you’re pretty much all set. You can use your regular remote to control the volume as well so more convenient when you only want to use one remote. The soundbar is also really sleek and has a nice premium design to it. The Raydanz really does make a significant difference with the dolby atmos for the clarity and submerse you into the sound. Putting on the new Jurassic Park trailer and right off the bat you can definitely feel the bass and feel like you’re at the movies. I replaced an old samsung sound bar that was a 3.1 and now going to the tcl q65h 5.1 really does make a difference in my experience now. I am sorta hard at hearing and have not had any issues since replacing to the Q65H. Will definitely enjoy movie nights!! If you’re looking for a good premium soundbar and not pay an arm or a leg I would recommend the TCL Q65H

The TCL Q65H delivers top quality sound for a fraction of the price. First off, I'm a bit of an audiophile when it comes tonsound. I ha a dedicated 5.2.2 (Klipsch & Yamaha) home theater that will pressurize the room with sound and bass. This setup is for my 16x20 living room with a vaulted 2 story ceiling and it integrated well with my 65 TCL LED tv using only the tv remote to control the soundbar also. This soundbar is an upgrade from my 10yr old samsung 45c soundbar. After installing the soundbar and performing a room calibration with the AI Sonic feature the Q65H came alive. I have family that has Bose equipment and they were amazed at the sound quality of the TCL. I put on Mad Max Fury Road and the rooom filled with sound, from the bullets whizing by your ears and the bass vibrating the floor. I like heavy bass so this fit the bill without having a full 5.1 system. The AI sonic also does well with the 5.1 surround effect without having the rear speakers wich my wife didn't want. So if your looking for close to 5.1 dedicated theater sound in an non expensive Bose or Sonos soundbar, then TCL is for you.

I’ve been using the TCL Q65H soundbar for a couple of weeks now, and it’s been a fantastic upgrade to my home theater setup. For the price (I got it on sale for around $349), it delivers a level of performance that’s hard to beat.
Sound Quality:
The Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support really makes a difference. The sound feels wide and immersive—even without rear speakers. The upward-firing drivers and TCL’s Ray-Danz tech actually give you that height effect, especially in movies.
Bass:
The wireless subwoofer is punchy and deep. You can definitely feel it during action scenes or when listening to music with a strong low-end. It's well-tuned and doesn’t overpower the mids.
Clarity:
Dialogue is super clear, thanks to the dedicated center channel and the built-in voice enhancement. I no longer have to keep rewinding to catch what characters are saying.
Setup & Features:
The setup was quick and simple. The HDMI eARC connection to my TV was seamless, and it includes all the key ports (HDMI in, optical, USB, aux, Bluetooth). I do wish it had a mobile app or Wi-Fi streaming, but for the price, it’s not a dealbreaker.
Design:
It's not the flashiest looking bar, but it’s clean and low-profile under the TV. The build feels solid, and the sub looks sleek tucked next to my console. It lacks voice assistants and app control, but for under $400, it’s a great value for movie nights and music. Highly recommended if you want surround sound without breaking the bank.

I'm upgrading from a JBL Bar 2.0, and the sound quality upgrade is insane. The soundbar was so easy to install with the included sub pairing with the bar immediately. Volume and clarity are great, especially for the price. And it's so easy to tune with only a couple of button presses. The sleek design also allows it to blend in without looking too chunky.

I decided to get the TCL Q65H to upgrade from a Samsung 2.1 sound system. My old Samsung soundbar was nice to just have forward firing speakers. They did the job, but I never felt like I was getting that full, immersive experience you hear people talk about with premium audio. I finally decided to invest in something a little more serious and after some research I landed on the Q65H because I learned TCL manufactures their own products. With the addition of premium features like Ray-Danz and Atmos included into a 5.1 channel sound system this was a no brainer. It’s the first soundbar I’ve bought with real performance in mind, and it absolutely delivered. Right out of the box the soundbar setup was simple with the sub wirelessly connecting to the soundbar as soon as you plug it in. I had it up and running, playing around with the settings in less than 10 minutes. The difference in quality from my old setup is insane!!! Dialogue is clearer and the immersion from the Ray-Danz and Atmos working together really comes through in all settings. From movies, music to even gaming and sports each of the settings enhances what I'm watching and really adds another layer of immersion to the experience. For someone like me, stepping up from average gear but not ready to drop thousands on premium audio, this soundbar hits a perfect balance of premium quality and performance at an exciting price. It’s the first time I’ve felt truly excited about audio at home and I can’t imagine going back.

I recently picked up the TCL Q65H soundbar to pair with my Sony 85” TV, and I’ve got to say—it totally transformed my home theater setup. I mostly watch action and horror movies, and this soundbar really delivers when it comes to clear dialogue, booming bass, and immersive surround effects, thanks to the Dolby Atmos support. The setup was super easy. No lag, no complicated settings—just plug and play. I really appreciate how the center channel keeps voices crisp, even during loud scenes, and the subwoofer adds a deep rumble that you can feel. Explosions, car chases, gunfights—everything sounds so much more intense and cinematic now.
What really surprised me is how wide and spacious the soundstage feels. Even without rear speakers, the angled side drivers do an amazing job at filling the room with sound. It feels like audio is coming from behind and above you, which makes horror movies especially gripping. You can literally hear footsteps or whispers coming from different directions, which adds to the suspense.
I also use it to stream music via Bluetooth, and the sound quality holds up great. Whether it’s bass-heavy music or dialogue-focused content, everything sounds clean and balanced.
If you’ve got a big screen like mine and want theater-like sound at home, especially for action or thriller content, the TCL Q65H is 100% worth it. The performance, features, and price point make it a fantastic value. I’m super happy with the purchase and would absolutely recommend it.

Was doing a Bond movie marathon, so I decided to get a soundbar to better enjoy the classics. Didn't want to spend too much money for just a soundbar and sub and decided to get this one. The package has some weight on it but has all the cables and easy set up. I just have the soundbar on the stand, but it's nice that it comes with mounting brackets if i change my mind. I was expecting something pretty decent and better than the mini soundbar we were using. We started the movie, and we could tell the sound was better than the mini sounbar we were using, and the sub was definitely better. We immediately heard more sound effects, the dialog was better, and my favorite part (the title sequences) were more enjoyable. I went to the room at one point and could still hear it down the hall. After the first movie, i messed with the settings a bit. I had to download the app to optimize the sound. It took a few minutes, but afterward, it sounded more surround than the first time. We also played some Forza afterwards, and the racing was more immersive than before. I could feel the tire screeching on the turns. I didn't have to set the volume at more than 30 percent, but for more bombastic movies, I'll probably be blasting it. Im probably gonna look into getting the upgraded versions, but for the price Im happy to report this was definitely better than what I was expecting.

I’m glad I got this, even though I bought it without seeing it first. I have so much to say about this soundbar.
First off, it’s incredibly loud and clear about volume level 30 is the max for me. I love that it has an HDMI passthrough for my Blu-ray player. It’s clearly a virtual surround soundbar (5.1). It’s great that it supports all sound formats, including DTS:X. Having a Blu-ray player that supports DTS:X is important because if the disc uses DTS:X, most of the time there’s no Dolby audio, which would mean the soundbar wouldn’t output any sound. That’s a big benefit for me, since I do have that situation with some movies and TV shows.
I used the TCL Home app to access the AI Sonic feature. After downloading the app, you can connect via Bluetooth and use it to calibrate the room or seating position to ensure you're always getting the best sound, no matter where you’re sitting. The app also includes TCL-recommended presets, and you can adjust the treble and bass to your personal preference.
One unique feature of the soundbar itself is the Ray-Danz technology. It creates a wide “soundstage” that makes it feel like there are speakers on the sides, even when there aren’t. It really is a great soundbar, and when I think about others in the same price range, I’m impressed!
The only thing I might regret is not getting the model up—the Q75H.

I just got the TCL Q65H soundbar to go pair up with my QM8 tv, and its already made a huge difference. Set up was simple- just one HDMI cable (included) into the eARC port on my TV, and the soundbar and wireless subwoofer connected instantly. The soundbar and subwoofer also feel well built- solid and sleek with a clean design that fits nicely under my tv and looks in the set up. Right away, The sound quality stood out. Dialogue is clear and the bass has a deep powerful feel that makes everything more engaging. The Ray-Danz technology does a great job creating a wide, immersive soundstage. Allowing for a more cinematic experience. The included remote is straightforward and responsive, there’s also a TCL app for remote control and updates, though I haven’t used it yet. Overall, I’m really happy with this soundbar so far. It delivers great performance for the price and was super easy to get started with. Definitely a solid upgrade!

The TCL Q65h, has many different ways to connect to your devices. I personally love using HDMI EARC for a simple experience with support for dolby atmos. With the option of bluetooth 5.1 to my phone and other devices when i need a quick connection to play some music. The sleek and slim remote, and easy access to controls on the bar when i lose the remote. This bar has one of the most complex and complete soundstages from when im playing games to watching movings. It fills my living room with the amazing base out of the subwoofer, while sitting on my mantle this bar fills my large living room with immersive sound.

I own a TCL QM8 TV and the TCL Q65H soundbar with wireless subwoofer definitely enhanced my viewing and listening experience watching movies, music videos and playing various video games. It came with everything needed for setup (other than a philips head) for setting up the included wall mount which made mounting it to any solid surface a complete breeze. Instructions were easy to read and understand. The AI sonic adaptation feature was really cool because it allows the sound to move side to side and "follow" the visuals. It also has a voice mode which seemed to tone down the background noises while simultaneously raising the voices during movies/TV shows.My girlfriend really liked that option because she doesn't have great hearing. When playing music or video games like Call of Duty Zombies, the subwoofer delivered really nice, clean bass. I spent some time playing Call of Duty Zombies with the surround sound feature turned on and I could almost hear the zombies behind me even without rear speakers thanks to the Ray-Danz technology. In the beginning scene of The Dark Knight the clicks during the reloading of the harpoon gun were crystal clear and with my previous soundbar it wasnt audible at all.The other thing i loved about it was that the soundbar has a 4k HDMI pass through and I was able to plug in my Nintendo Switch 2 without sacrificing an HDMI port on the back of my TV. With all its features and ease of used, I'd recommend this soundbar to anyone looking for a good priced soundbar.

I replaced my old Sony TV with a TCL TV and love it. I was so impressed with the Quality I decided to replace my Sony soundbar with the TCL Q65H Soundbar. This Soundbar is absolutely amazing!!! The sound quality is great, everything is so crisp, clear, and the set up couldn't be any easier. With my old Soundbar the preset sound modes were never really perfect and always sounded off but with the Q65H, weather it's in movie mode, game mode, or just standard they make what you are watching sound excellent. After doing some research I learned that TCL manufactures their own products and that is very evident in the quality of this Soundbar. It has a real premium feel and look and the technology in the soundbar is pretty impressive for the price. Dolby Atmos, Ray Danz, and AI Sonic adaption all come together to create an amazingly rich and full sound that fills the room.

The new TCL Q65H soundbar exceeds all expectations. This 5.1 sound system generates a lot of power without creating any distortion thanks to their RayDanz technology. For Movies, the built in voice enhancement really helps seperate vocals from the rest of the surrounding sounds. When listening to music, the deep enriched bass gives you concert like sound! Partnered up with my TCL TV it really ties the two together and creates an easy to use system. Super simple to switch from HDMI eARC, bluetooth and optical when connecting to multiple devices. Overall, the performance from this soundbar will blow you away!

I wasn’t ready. I turned it on and suddenly my living room transformed into a private movie theater. I’m talking floor shaking bass, crystal-clear dialogue, and sound effects flying past my head like I was in an action film. Literal surround sound magic.
Subwoofer? It rumbles like a gentle earthquake.
Now my toddler thinks every show is a concert and I’m ignoring calls just to rewatch old movies just to do the extra.
Warning: If you get this soundbar you may get evicted lol.
