Samsung HW-B650 vs TCL S55H

The Samsung HW-B650 and the TCL S55H both fall into the budget soundbar category but fulfill slightly different purposes. The Samsung's 3.1 setup comes with a discrete center channel, which makes all the difference when compared to the TCL's simulated phantom center. It also has a more balanced default sound profile and a better dynamics performance, which makes it a great fit for those who value clear and detailed dialogue. It also has lower latency via HDMI and comes with an HDMI In port, meaning it can function as a hub between your console and TV. That said, the TCL is Atmos-compatible and comes with a better suite of sound enhancement features, like AI Sonic-Adaptation, which tunes the sound to your room's unique acoustic characteristics.
