Added the Q85 sound bar system to my 65 inch QM7 tv. Great addition as the sound is now alot better. Great for movies and sports. TCL is a great choice for a mid priced audio and video products.

Paring this with my TCL QM8 65’ inch setup. Wanted the same brand soundbar as my tv so i am ditching the Vizio I had. Easy setup out of the box. 7.1.4 for $599! I think the total watts this soundbar puts out is over 850 watts which is insane. Love the wireless rear speakers. Yeah the rear speakers still need power but at least you dont got to run wire everywhere from the soundbar. The CEC setup seems to be working good. The sub puts out plenty of power as well and is also wireless. Setup the SonicAI with no issues through the TCL app. Controlling the soundbar from the mobile app is working smoothly as well.

The severe lack of adjustment on this device is inexcusable for the price range - there are several within this bracket that have the basic ones (you know, +/- L/R/C/SW/etc.) You get a low/med/hi for the surround volume but the terrible app for the device doesn't even label it as such, just says speaker volume. You get a few canned presets, and a canned AI scan of your listening environment. If you're comfortable with this idea in this price bracket then it might be acceptable, but none of this is new and TCL has no excuse for unbinding at least basic volume leveling from the system. Sound quality is low-mid but that's subjective - sounds muddy compared to what it is replacing - almost like I'm listening to a set out of polarity. I can't balance the room because I can't adjust the output levels beyond a mix & match of their predetermined settings and whatever 'AI sonic' dreams up from my seating positioning.
