TCL S55H 2.1 Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer for Smart TV | Dolby Atmos DTS:X Auto Room Calibration| 220W Power Wireless Bluetooth Home Theater Audio | App Control & Remote Control | Latest Model

A 2.1 bar with a wireless subwoofer, Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X decoding, and a rated 220W. It is the low-cost way to get an Atmos-capable bar with real bass for a bedroom or small living room.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Wireless subwoofer is included at a very low price, which adds bass a bar alone cannot produce
  • + Connects by HDMI eARC/ARC, optical, Bluetooth or AUX, so it works with almost any TV
  • + Auto room calibration through the TCL app removes most of the manual tuning

Trade-offs

  • - A 2.1 layout has no up-firing or rear speakers, so Atmos height effects are simulated rather than placed overhead
  • - Listed at 220W with a modest subwoofer, so it suits small to medium rooms rather than large ones
