Pros and Cons

This is the first sound bar i've owned, tho i have setup and used a sonos wireless bar + surround which is dang impressive. Wireless sub isn't boomey but it also doesn't rattle the windows or your teeth. No issues with tv connection or sound bar-subwo...  Read More

Paired this with a roku 75s535 using earc. Did not experience any audio sync issues. Syncing with my tcl tv was seamless. Lip sync, the correlation between the video and audio playing together, is slightly off.

Tcl even mentions this in the instruction booklet, which makes me think they are aware of the possible problem with some tvs. It's either fully on or it's blinking to let you know it's in standby.

Cons5

Even using a tcl 65r635 tv the sound is out of sync. The instructions make no mention of connecting to a network. Only way to upgrade software is with google home.

The sub is somehow inconsistent. The bass is horrible. It's very frustrating!

The original issue persists and now the device shuts itself off if it doesn't detect a signal after 15 minutes. The audio is delayed by up to 300ms at times. Plugging it back into the tv turns all sound off in the headphones.

Tcl's wireless subwoofer has no instructions for setting it up or connecting to it. The only reliable way to get this thing to work is to physically unplug the power cords.

The base is deeeeep. This is extremely terrible design and makes me regret purchasing this product. Purchase this tcl alto 9 at your own peril.

Pros5

Sound bar like this is perfect for a dorm or small teenagers room. The bass is actually quite nice. We have other sound bars on other tv's an i think because they are hooked up through a speaker system and are a surround sound system.

It's not very loud, only 10 watts but the sound is crisp and clean all the way to max level. It isn't the loudest you'll find but it is clear and works well to amplify the sound on my back porch. It gets loud enough for the pc.

The speaker is very versatile. For that price, this is a steal for the implementations i mentioned above. The remote is a great addition to the product. It's a bargain.

The soundbar is both portable thanks to the integrated 2000 mah battery which is recharged via microusb port. The power cord is usb with a micro port which is a little inconvenient.

The sound is surprisingly robust for such a small speaker. It's about the size of a pocket umbrella but heavier. Bluetooth range is amazing - it has zero dropouts.
