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)

The sound quality is much better than the built-in speakers on my monitor. The bass is strong, but I did have to decrease it a bit because I don't like strong bass. Overall, I am very happy with the sound quality of the soundbar.
It looks great under my monitor, which is also black color. The only thing I would change about the soundbar is the way it announces its Bluetooth connection. The voice prompt is a bit loud, and I prefer a gentle chime. However, this is not a big deal.
At this price ($50), this is a great soundbar for casual usage.

That I got last year on a crazy slickdeal here when they were something crazy like $15. I wish I bought 100 of them!
Anyway, since people say that the bass and treble on this TCL unit are overdone/off balance and the Majority Atlas if anything does mids very well, I plan on pairing the 2 bars on an analog setup with a 3.5mm splitter on the bedroom TV (yes, good ol old fasion analog, no fancy dancy arc or optical) and since I run everything thu a HTPC I will tweak with Equalizer APO / Peace.
The living room has the real setup when needed.
Thanks OP.
