TCL Q85H vs Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus with Sub + Speakers

The TCL Q85H is better than the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus with Sub + Speakers in most ways. The 7.1.4-channel TCL has additional discrete channels compared to the 5.1-channel Amazon. The TCL's additional surround and height channels help facilitate a more immersive Atmos listening experience by bouncing height cues off your ceiling and improving the tracking of panning audio objects in the soundscape. Both soundbars support most audio formats, but the TCL has lower audio latency and the option to pass through video from a gaming console to mitigate A/V-desync. That said, Amazon is the less expensive pickup with lower optical latency, making it better for use with older home theater gear.
