I bought this for BF from Walmart and returned it right away. I love subwoofers, but this one is too much for the sound bar—they just don't seem to work all that well together. The max volume isn't all that loud.

I have a 24" Vizio sound bar that puts it to shame in terms of loudness, sound quality.

Either way, worth a try if you might have a different experience/opinion than mine. But, for me, it was a clear no-go.


PS: I don't get the downvotes to this comment. I'm just sharing my experience for those wondering.

I bought this on the last $50 deal. I read the reviews and the warnings and I just had to find out. I was a little upset with myself that I opened this the night before recycling pickup and got rid of the box. I might have returned it. A pair of inexpensive bookshelf speakers would have been better in almost every respect. The sub isn't really a sub. I don't know that it's actually capable of sub-bass. It's more like a mid-range mud-box. The bar itself isn't terrible, except that there is no mids. It might as well be filled with tweeters. Honestly if your expectations are low, and the audio you currently have is not usable - this does get the job done, it's just not a high-fidelity experience.

I strongly recommend this $65 refurbished Vizio V21d-J8B-RB 2.1 sound bar instead: https://www.ebay.com/itm/374235908892

It is refurbished and sold directly by Vizio, you get free returns, and it comes with a 2-year warranty—longer than new products' 1-year.

There is also an SB362An-F46 2.1 sound bar for $55. But it's a little older, so it might be missing some features compared to the above. (https://www.ebay.com/p/1604927654...4921227833)

Agree with past comments - tried this last black friday, and it's mediocre at best. With the subwoofer on there was a sound delay but without it you might as well use the TV speakers.

The Vizio V series was about the same price and sounds way better even without the sub

I caught this at $29 clearance and it's utter trash..
sub is gross, main bar sounds like a pair of 1" drivers with a 9v battery to drive it... because that's what they are.

The TCL Alto might be the worst sound bar I've heard. The subwoofer sounds like clean, bean based flatulence. It's just awful.

I bought it last month and returned it a week after.

How many watts is the output for this? Could not find it in the description. Also planning to return my tcl - I am not impressed with it's volume or subwoofer performance doesn't look like a 200w

TRASHH!!!! I couldn't return it because I threw the box away, the worst $50 spent of my life. I'm embarrassed to even give it away or sell it because it's so horrible

I suggest stop posting this deal. This sound bar is not even functional because it tries to pass off dialog in the subwoofer. Last time this deal was posted, I think everyone said they returned theirs

Exactly my experience, dialog often sounds muffled and you can hear the sub cutting in and out during conversations.

I got it for a friend and she likes it. It's definitely better than the TV's sound. No, it's not a premium sound. It's an entry level sound bar. If it sounds too off, you might have to turn off any sound enhancements you have set in your TV.

I have it and I hate it. Voices come through subwoofer and it's impossible to adjust even with the sub at its lowest setting

I dont know what everyone is expecting out of a $50 soundbar WITH a subwoofer, but it exceeded my expectations. I'm just using it with my PC and 32"monitor and am very pleased. Definitely doesn't compete with a $100+ soundbar, but definitely worth $50-75.
