Got mine delivered and set it up.

PLEASE READ THE ABOVE QUOTES ^

This thing is TOTAL TRASH.

It has a slight delay, even with simple analog aux, especially to the trash wireless "subwoofer".

"The crossover is screwed up" this is an UNDERSTATEMENT. How can I describe it... with the bass all the way down, the "sub" is still too loud and while it plays lows (sh!tty "mid boomy" lows) it passes everything else thu, and kills everything coming from the bar. If this thing was free I *might* use it over a cheap TV's internal speakers with the sub unplugged. (okay I take that back.. no I wouldnt)

Im hardly an audiophile, but I do have some exp with both expensive (generally nice) and ghetto fraken-setups.

Its almost worth eating the $50 as a loss just to take this thing out to the field with baseball bat office space style... almost.

Return line here I come! Its already re-boxed and sealed, basically looks new (not that the Walmart people would notice/care)

Did not work with my Samsung tv so i had to return it. It's really cheaply made and the remote is tiny, no indication of volume on the soundbar. Sound is ok was able to connect phone to it via bluetooth.

Mine didn't come with a remote

Got two, sound was decent for $50, worked and then didn't the next day, tried everything, optical, ARC, it would show on TV with ARC but no sound. Ended up just returning both units. Got the Samsung HW-Q7CB/ZA-RB from Verdi with the 15% off for signing up for SMS - shipped for $93, worth the extra $43 IMHO.

I have a TCL Alto 6 bar. Will the sub pair with it or just the bar it comes with?

Does anyone know if this soundbar "times out" and turns off automatically if not used for several minutes?

What a piece of garbage - I did get this wanting to use bluetooth to connect to my PC so I wasn't expecting super great sound for $50 but intermittent signal, tinny audio, and the subwoofer is... about what you'd expect for $50. Barely better than TV speakers and worse than the $20 speakers I was using on my PC.

FWIW, I also bought this one to compare the two and it's MUCH better sound quality (no subwoofer but... this TCL subwoofer, as mentioned, yikes).

What a horrible speakers. When I turns up the volume, static noise begins. The wireless subwoofer keeps getting disconnected.

Purchased and returned in the same day. Got it connected via ARC but it would drop audio for 2-3 seconds a couple times every minute. Tried multiple HDMI cables, different setting on TV and always dropped the audio. Returned and ordered the JBL 2.0 hoping it's decent.

Got this for the guest bedroom. The sound on this is pretty atrocious. Probably worth $30... As others have mentioned, the highs are pretty high with no mids. Also woofer has no subbass.

Would be nice if this model, S21BW, had some reviews.

This one, TS5010, seems to be similar but about half the weight and dimensions are different.

Gotta look under the name TCL Alto 5+

Sounds lackluster, but what do you expect for this price.
