    Great on Paper, Falls Short in Practice

    I really wanted to love the TCL Q85 soundbar. On paper, it checks a lot of boxes, especially for a product priced below the competition with the same feature set. Pros: The soundbar boasts an impressive hardware setup: three front-facing drivers, two side-firing drivers, and two Atmos drivers up top. The included rear surrounds are truly wireless—just plug them into a power outlet—and each features both front- and up-firing drivers. The subwoofer rounds out the setup nicely. One standout feature is the TCL app integration, which includes an auto-calibration function. This tool is designed to tailor the soundbar’s performance to your room's acoustics, and it’s a welcome addition at this price point. Cons: Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end for me. My biggest issue is the lack of manual adjustability. Neither the remote nor the app allows for detailed tuning of the audio to personal preferences, which is a major drawback. The bass also left a lot to be desired. The low frequencies lacked clarity and depth, coming across as muddy. There was a noticeable disconnect between the mids/highs from the soundbar and the lows from the subwoofer, which hurt the overall sound cohesion. To be fair, with all the features packed into this system, some trade-offs are to be expected. But coming from a high-end Samsung/Harman Kardon soundbar (which originally retailed for $1499), I found the Q85 lacking in sound quality. Granted, they’re in entirely different price categories, so my expectations might have been a bit high. This soundbar might work well for someone looking for an affordable, feature-rich setup, but for me, it's not a worthy replacement. I’ll have to pass on this one.
