TCL Alto 6+ vs TCL Alto 8i

That being said, it is a hundred bucks and a budget soundbar system, so it's still pretty nice quality for what you're paying. Now, let's move into ho...

Earlier this year I bought a TCL 5 series TV. I've tried three different soundbars (TCL Alto 6+, TCL Alto 8i, and now Hisense HS218) and all of them cause lag on my Switch and PS4. I connected all of them via eARC with a brand new HDMI cable so I could control the volume with the Roku remote. Unfortunately when I use the Switch or PS4, there is a delay in when I use the control and when the TV responds

The sound is great when the subwoofer actually works properly. It won’t stay connected. I have to unplug and plug everything back in to get it to work but as soon as I turn of my tv for the day the next day I have to do the whole unplug thing all over again to get it to connect. I have moved the subwoofer around and now it sits next to the tv on floor so range is not the problem

1 setup with dual subwoofers integrated into the bar, so you don't have to find room for a bulky sub in your living room. Despite its compact design, it's still a versatile soundbar, and it's one of the few bars in this price range with Dolby Atmos support.

This soundbar is advertised to work seamlessly with TCL Roku TVs, allowing you to use this TV's remote to control the soundbar and access controls. It has a decent, although somewhat dark, sound profile, and it comes with three EQ presets so you can customize its sound. It can also get loud enough to fill a large or crowded room, and streaming your favorite audio to the bar is easy as it supports Bluetooth. While it doesn't offer many extra features, it's an alright bar for those on a budget

Out-of-the-box, this soundbar has a fairly neutral, though somewhat dark and boomy sound profile due to the extra bass and recessed treble range. As a result, vocals and lead instruments are reproduced pretty clearly, but they can also sound veiled. Fortunately, there's a standard selection of sound enhancement features available to help you customize its sound, including bass and treble adjustments as well as some EQ presets.

Good sound but the subwoofer constantly disconnects so I have to unplug and replug regularly.

Right now the Multibeam is $200 off in Canada so I want to pick one up. But do many people have any idea if it's good?

There's these touch buttons, the power button, uh, there's the input or source change button, the bluetooth button and uh sound up and down. Okay, let...

Nice system, brought it in July just opened it was waiting to move. No remote in box I asked if a remote came with it was told yes. But it was been a while since I bought it so can't return it. I end up buying a remote

This is nice. Looking sealed box, uh says power, consumption 25 watts. So it's not an overly large power, a system, and it's not that wasn't the point...

The user interface could be better. There is a dedicated button for Bluetooth, but the ARC connection is on HDMI2 and it requires several button presses to get back to it from Bluetooth. When there is only 1 device physically connected, it is annoying to have to press the source button repeatedly to get back to the TV. It’s really easy to leave it on Bluetooth and then not have the TV sound go through

This is a great feature and probably my favorite part besides the overall sound and bass. Overall i would definitely recommend this unit for the movie and music lover

Finally, my big screen has the Roku TV built-in and this model is designed to work with my TV. The sound bar will work great for any TV, but if you have one with the Roku TV built-in, then this feature is a must, since set up was so easy - just connect the HDMI cable (included!!!) from the sound bar to the TV, plug in the sound bar, and turn on the TV. The TV instantly recognized that the new sound bar was connected and ran through a quick self-setup. Once connected the sound bar is controlled with the TV remote - it turns on and off automatically when you turn the TV on or off , volume up and down, etc
