    I recently purchased the TCL S45H S Class 2.0 Channel Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual Speaker and connected it with my Samsung TV. The setup was quick and hassle-free, and the sound quality is truly impressive for its size. The audio is clear, well-balanced, and fills the room with a rich surround effect. Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual add a noticeable depth, making movies and music far more immersive. The sleek design blends seamlessly with my TV setup, and the overall performance has exceeded my expectations. For anyone looking for an affordable yet powerful sound bar, I would highly recommend this TCL model.

    Just received and connected it 24 hours ago. Connection was easy both on a TCL QM8 and a Sony X85J using the HDMI eARC ports and included cable. Sound is surprisingly immersive for the price point, clear, crisp and loud. Slightly lacking in bass but I expected this being it was a 2.0 speaker bar. I recommend it as a soundbar for under $200.

    I'm really impressed with my new TCL soundbar! The setup was incredibly simple, and the sound quality is a huge upgrade from my TV's built-in speakers. Movies and music now have a much richer, more immersive feel. For the price, this soundbar delivers fantastic value. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve their home audio.

    This sound bar is great value for the money. Gave me a great improvement over my TVs built in speakers without braking the bank. And I love that it has Bluetooth so I can use it to play music from my phone.

    My husband has trouble hearing the TV. And yes, he wears hearing aids! However, since buying and using the sound bar, he can understand words clearly and the sound does not have to be turned up all the way. I suggest if you have a larger TV with speakers in the back, invest in this product. Set up was easy.

    Great Soundbar at a Great Price

    This is my second TCL Soundbar with a larger one in my living room with a subwoofer. I didn't want a sub in the bedroom, especially for watching it late at night. It still has plenty of bass for my need. It does take a little getting used to how the light bar on top works, such as setting the amount of surround with each higher setting lights up more of the light bar. I haven't used the Virtual Surround setup since you have to download the app and have your bluetooth on to connect. Otherwise, a very great sounding bar with plenty of customization using the remote.

    I need a cheap soundbar for my second tv. I didn't care a lot about features. I just wanted to make sure that when I turn my TV on I can hear the sound without turning the Soundbar on separately. And for the most part I'm able to do that. The sound is decent. But will probably not meet an audiofile's needs. Which is fine for me. That's not why I got this bar.0

    I was surprised at how good this soundbar worked. Sound is great and really enhances the puny TV back speaker. Also, it paired quickly and easily with my LG TV-even better than the LG soundbars that disconnect all the time with LG TV's. Hard to beat for the price.

    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.

    Great sound quality for the price. My only critique is I had to buy a separate aux cord as my tv is a few years old. But it works well with my phone via bluetooth and probably is super easy to set up with a newer tv.

    Fixed my problem! I have an older 75” Samsung Tv that’s 3D, the sound on it went out, after trying to fix it my options were get a new Tv (I want to keep this one for the 3D), get a new board which is about $90 but reseller are selling on eBay for $300 for some reason or buy a sound bar! Got it on sale and the sound is even better than the Tv speaker that no longer work! Happy with the quality, size, price and easy fix that let me keep using my 3D Tv

    This is a great soundbar! Plugged it into a new high end Samsung 75" 4k TV in the E-ARC HDMI slot and am leaving all the adjustments at the factory settings for now. It transformed the poor factory TV audio into rich, clear 2 channel sound with plenty of volume; if you are needing the vol - I really don't. To avoid all the personal data entries and looking at the myriad of small print data and choices on the Samsung HOME screen (reminds me of the "bloatware" on the early desktop computers), I installed a new ROKU 4K ultra and this soundbar synched right in with the ON/OFF/VOLUME on the ROKU remote. I have a full Dolby Atmos system in the media room with a giant screen TV, and this TCL soundbar actually has more pure sound although not as full since it is 2 channel. Highly recommend.
