Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

It’s a really nice affordable Dolby atmos system. It’s plenty loud and the sub works well!! The rear upfiring along with the surround speakers really pull you into movies, games or really anything you’re watching. I highly recommend this especially for the price.

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.

Amazing sound system very powerful sleek design easy to use I am really happy that I bought this , truly impressive

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.

I have a TCL TV and I have tried 2 other soundbar/speaker sets. This set is amazing. I absolutely love the sound. Like you’re really there and excellent voice clarity.

Not only were the installers amazing, the sound is Fantastic! Bought with a 98 inch tv!

I have a TCL TV and I wanted to get their newest TCL soundbar and this was it. Great sound.

This sound system sounds great and goes well with our new tv

Dog loves the new tv and especially the mount. Sleek and holds the 98 without issue! Bestbuy also helped me with a price match after I purchased a tv and they were able to adjust and price due to there price match and refunded the difference. Thank you again Bestbuy!

Just one word AWSOME worth the price great sound great power got it for my 98 inch tcl q6 tv perfect

If you can find the TCL Q85H for under $500, don’t even think twice; just grab it. At that price, it’s an incredible deal. Sure, it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles some other soundbars in this range offer (like detailed controls for height channels or the subwoofer), but honestly, I think that’s part of its charm. It’s super simple to set up. Just plug it in, and you’re good to go. No confusing menus, no wasted time. It just works, which I really appreciate. I’ve had Vizio soundbars in the past, and I’ve run into so many annoying issues, from random disconnects to overly complicated settings. The Q85H feels like the opposite. It’s straightforward and reliable, which makes it stand out in the best way. If you’ve got one of TCL’s higher-end TVs, like the QM7 or QM8, this soundbar is basically made for you. I have the 2023 QM8, and adding the Q85H has been a total game-changer. The eARC connection works flawlessly, and getting Dolby Atmos across all my devices: my Xbox Series X, Apple TV 4K, and Panasonic UB-820 has been awesome. Bottom line: The TCL Q85H is a simple, powerful, and affordable soundbar that’s perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to mess with a complicated setup but still wants great sound. I couldn’t be happier with it.

With over 860 Watts this 7.1.4 sound bar is hard to beat for the price. Most sound bars that have rear speakers are sold separately and the ones that come included in most sound bars are much smaller. This TCL Q85H comes with the wireless rears included perfect to fill the room of any size. Great extra features like Wi-Fi 5 for software updates and AirPlay 2 so you can wirelessly play any audio from your computer , mobile phone or tablet. Also included in the box free wall mount kit along with HDMI cable. TCL also has a user friendly home app to control the sound bar and for software updates. You’d have to spend double or triple the price for these features and quality in a comparable sound bar. With TCL being a global technology company, they are producing some of the best electronics around from TVs home appliances, mobile phones display panels and even sound bars this 7.1.4 TCL sound bar is worth every penny. After setting up the sound bar, I used the mobile app to balance the sound output. It uses the microphone from my cell phone to make sure the sound is balanced in any room that it’s set up in great technology and it makes the sound calibration set up very user-friendly.

My previous soundbar died and I got this as a replacement. The demos I found of the Atmos feature were amazing, it literally sounded like objects were flying overhead. The sound was crisp and clear and I also liked the deep bass. I realize this isn't the absolute best, but I was surprised at tge quality, especially in this price range.

The sound quality is amazing, easy to install and easy to connect with the tv and the app.

TCL - Q85H Q Class 7.1.4 Channel Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos. Works very well. Sound is good. Bass is fine for the room we have it in.

I know the soundbar has gotten a lot of good and bad reviews... However, my experience has been positive.. I find the Fidelity of the sound stage. Very appealing and energetic, especially when watching movies. While it doesn't have all the customization of other soundbars that it competes with tinkering with what is given on the app and remote, I was able to find a very pleasing soundstage with bass, travel, etc. That I would have been looking for if I could have tinkered a bit more if given the opportunity . I will say doing the automatic calibration did make a big difference from my seating position and did tune out the frequencies very well. Probably if I had my biggest negative is that I'm an Android user, not an iPhone user. Therefore, I could not connect this soundbar to Wi-Fi, especially to do the latest software update. However, I did copy the file on their website and did a USB update and everything went perfectly. All in all for what I paid. $499 I have no complaints. I'm satisfied.

Good sound quality, I wish it had more options for adjustments on treble and base and volume levels of surround speakers

I absolutely love this item. We haven't hooked the surround speakers up yet. But the sound bar and subwooker packs plenty of punch. Paired this with our new 98" TCL TV and the whole tv watching more enjoyable.

Excellent sound bar with home theater unit including wireless subwoofer and satellite speakers, No cable hassle
