TCL S45H S Class 2.0 Channel Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos, DTS Virtual:X, Bluetooth Music Streaming, and Auto Room Calibration

I wasn’t sure what to expect at this price point, but the TCL S45H has really surprised me with its power and sound quality. For a compact 2.0 channel bar, it delivers a clear, rich sound that easily fills the room. The dialogue is crisp, the bass has more punch than I expected without being muddy, and the overall balance makes both movies and music enjoyable.The inclusion of Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X is a huge plus. Even without extra speakers, the virtual surround creates a much more immersive experience than I thought a budget-friendly soundbar could achieve. It really elevates TV shows, movies, and even gaming.Setup was simple—just plug it in, connect via HDMI or Bluetooth, and it was ready to go. The Bluetooth streaming works seamlessly for music, and the auto room calibration feature actually makes a noticeable difference in tailoring the sound to your space.Overall, this soundbar is an incredible value. It looks sleek, performs far above its price range, and is perfect for anyone who wants to dramatically improve their TV audio without breaking the bank.

I’ll keep it short and simple. I bought it and didn’t expect much. I just wanted something low end for my living room. The setup was easy. The floor speaker connected wirelessly right to the sound bar. I do have a 75 inch TCL TV, that could be why it was so easy to pair. Anyway, I watch a movie and immediately get immersed in HIGH QUALITY SOUND. The bass is unreal for the smaller floor speaker. The sound bar itself is amazing as well. Oh, you can also play your music through your phone as well by simply bluetoothing it. AMAZING PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE! Get it while it’s hot! This is NOT a paid advertisement. Build quality is very nice also. Volume works with TCL remote.

I have been hearing abound sound bars and how good they can be for a while now. I finally decided to get this one and try it out. I have a TCL TV so I wanted to stick with the same brand of soundbar. The install went easy enough, I used the HDMI (eARC) port on my TV and it found it instantly. The TV muted the internal speakers and now only outputs through the sound bar.I don't have my TV on the wall yet, it's still on a stand. this soundbar barely fits under the TV and even blocks the receiver. I had to add a few furniture pads under the TV's feet to give me enough clearance so the soundbar can fit under it and I can use the remote to control the TV.The sound quality sounded not good at 1st. I heard little pops kind of like static. I tried reseeding the HDMI cable and even tried another cable and it did the same thing. I installed the TCL app, (and setup an account at the TCL site). The app found the soundbar and did a calibration, after that it sounded much better.since plugging in the sound bar, the TV always turns on with the sound on. When I was using the internal speakers it would remember the mute between restarts.There is only a single light bar at the top of the soundbar to tell you volume levels and it changes color to indicate what input it's using. There is no way to tell if certain features are on or off unless you look in the app, this is mainly for surround enhance or dialog enhance. Also changing the profile (music, movie, sports) can be done with the remote, but it's best to do through the app so you know for sure which mode you are on.Overall not a bad entry into the soundbar world. It's affordable, and it works. I no longer need to put my TV volume to 35+ to hear what I am watching I can leave the soundbar down to 10-15 and hear it just fine.

Packs a punch! Previously in 2025 I had bought a large TCL flat screen at Sam’s. I recently wanted to get a soundbar because the TV sound isn’t the greatest per usual. I was going to go with JBL or Bose , but I live in an apartment currently and I don’t need anything crazy, just something to make the movie watching experience and Bluetooth music more enjoyable. I came across the TCL 2.0 and so happy I did. 1. I decided to get this because even though so many items are cross compatible I’m not tech savvy and knew a TCL soundbar would do just fun with a TCL tv, 2 . The reviews were actually pretty good. First suggestion; download the TCL home app and connect the sounbar, use the sonic Ai feature to calibrate the sound. To me this was crucial, I would’ve never known how to do this without spending at least an hour reading the manual. Also, since I already have a TCL tv I only have to use one remote, which I love!! Now for the sound!! Granted I live in 1,100sqft apartment so my living room isn’t massive, but the sound and bass are great for the price of the product. All of my calibrations are at mid range too so I know that it could be more intense, but I want to have respect for my neighbors that are in close proximity. All in all this is a great product so far, no qualms or complaints so far, set up took me maybe 15-20 just with plugging everything in and the Ai calibration. If you want something more affordable maybe for a guest room or porch, this is a great option for the price!!

Bought this to replace an aging Bose 3 2 1. And I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it is. Sounds awesome. And I can use the remote or the smartphone to change the settings. I have a TCL Roku tv. So no problem with setup. Recommended.

Works great, so far. Sounds amazing with the soundbar and TV sounds combined together. Of course, the source is the main input. Worth the $$$, imo.

I bought this because reviews were good and I have a TCL TV.Installation was simple. I advise you to connect this with your TV off. I had to do reset after initial installation to get it to work.It sounds great. The fake surround works well enough. This thing is LOUD. Setting the volume at 11 while watching “Sonic 3” had me reaching to reduce volume at times.It is really good at music. Playing Dolby Atmos-enabled music on the Apple Music tv app was surprising. There’s an actual soundstage, and the subwoofer provides just enough bass.
