Customer Ratings & Reviews

To get straight to the point….I am very pleased with the TCL Q65H soundbar. It has all the features I was looking for without forking out a lot of cash. Dolby Atmos is my current go-to when looking for a soundbar since it is nicely paired with the TV and Netflix. The soundbar does not have up-firing speakers, which I thought was necessary to achieve Atmos audio. Instead, it uses acoustic technology called RAY-DANZ to control the direction of the audio. In layman’s terms and not as an audiophile, everything sounds pretty good to me. Of the few buttons on the remote, one is ‘voice’. I do want to point out that I tested this out on various occasions but honestly didn’t notice a huge difference when characters were speaking. On the plus side, I didn’t have an issue hearing what people were saying when this setting was ‘off’ since the voices came out clearly already. With regards to the subwoofer, at its default, the power is very noticeable especially during action scenes or jump scares. Overall, I am satisfied with the Q65H and would recommend it.

Subtle, yet immersive surround. This sound bar sounds great. It's not overwhelming, but you know it's there. We originally had the speakers on the floor, but they proved ineffective. So we purchased some speaker stands for much improvement. It's a little expensive, I think, for what you get, but overall, it's a "sound" investment!

First soundbar we've purchased. Very pleased with the quality of sound and ease of set-up. Price seems quite reasonable when compared to similar products.

I was so excited to try this sound bar out. I've used various models before, but hadn't yet tried out a 5.1 that didn't require separate satellite speakers so I was expecting a nice upgrade over my 3.1 setup. Sadly, I was disappointed almost immediately. The dialog audio is to put is nicely, awful. It sounds hallow and distant, like it's inside a box 10 feet away from my TV. I have it setup in the same spot all my previous sound bars have been placed, on the tv console about 6" in front of the TV. I tried placing it in other locations just to be rule the placement out and it made no difference. In my opinion, the singular most important aspect of a sound bar, dialog clarity and volume, was easily the worst I've experienced of any sound bar I've used (around six total over the last 15 years). The sound processing features, like EQ or audio modes are very limited compared to other models. While it does have modes like Music, Movies, Sports, etc. and they all do serve different purposes, none of them could fix the let down in the center channel/dialog reproduction. Lacking the ability to fine tune with an EQ is an oversight that most comparable bars include. Bass is just "low/medium/high" and treble is the same. Even at "low" the bass is way too high. I had to set the volume around 23-25 to hear dialog clearly, and at that volume the bass is too much. Some of you might not feel that way, but living in an apartment, I don't want to be "that neighbor" so I try to be courteous and keep the bass enough to be heard but only by me and not the guy three doors over. Even when set to "low" I knew if I kept it up someone was going to complain. It's either night mode 24/7 or unplug the subwoofer, both of which really hinder the dynamic range, might as well just use the TV speakers at that point. I'd give it one star, but admittedly, the app and ease of setup convinced me to at least give it two. The app is easy to get going, and the sonic tuning is a really neat feature. It does make a noticeable difference in the surround sound capabilities once it's setup. Too bad the dialog still sounds like you're listing to it through a box. The power plugs are the same for the sub and bar, no wall worts or power inverters, just easy to run simple clean cables. It's such a shame too, because it has a lot of great feature for the price range. DTS:X and Dolby Atmos aren't easy to find in this price range so I was really looking forward to it. Plus the HDMI in/passthrough supports 4k HDR and VRR. VRR isn't commonly supported in this price range...again such a disappointment it's not good at being a sound bar for all the features it does have. So in short, a feature packed sound bar that's let down by not being great at a sound bar. Such a shame.

I have a TCL tv and this works wonderful with it. Has great sound

100% worth the money the sound is absolutely amazing and the bass will definitely put you as if you were in the movie theaters.
