TCL Alto 8i vs Vmai 2.1 Channel Sound Bar

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.

With the sound bar. You may adjust the input and volume using the smart touch surface on the side and using the included remote 2.1 channel sound bar ...

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 Vmai 2.1 Channel Sound Bar is a budget, entry-level setup that comes with two built-in subwoofers. Thanks to its well-balanced and neutral audio reproduction, it performs well with dialogue-heavy content like TV shows. It also has some EQ presets, a virtual surround feature, and a lot of inputs for its price point

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.

If you don't watch many movies, a PCM-only soundbar like the Vmai 2.1 Channel Sound Bar is a solid choice.

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

Remote died a few months after purchase. I notified them and they sent a new remote free of charge the next day

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?

The optical digital connection did not work even though I had carefully adjusted the television sound settings in accordance with the supplied manual. The resulting sound was a high pitched screech. The input cables were detached and reinstalled but the result was the same. Rather than contacting the seller, I decided to try the HDMI (ARC) input

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

Great speaker, mounting brackets poor design and made of cheep plastic. Keyhole slots turned the wrong way!
