Big upgrade on TV only speakers!
Got this to go with my TCL TV. Plugged it into the ARC port and it just worked, TV remote does the volume so I haven't touched the soundbar remote since day one. Main thing I noticed is you can actually hear what people are saying now. Used to have the volume way up for dialogue then get blasted by the action bits, that's gone. The sub makes a decent thump for a small box, movies and music both sound way fuller. Atmos stuff on Netflix sounds a bit wider and more open than normal, kind of like the sound isn't just coming from the front. Not going to pretend it's like the cinema but for what I paid I'm happy. Low enough that it doesn't cover the bottom of the screen. Bluetooth from my phone works fine too. Only annoying bit is the little display on the front, can't read it from the couch. Not a deal breaker. Good buy if you're sick of tinny TV sound and don't want to spend a fortune.

Great Value Soundbar
Excellent value for money. The TCL 2.1 Channel Dolby Atmos 220W Soundbar delivers clear dialogue, powerful bass, and immersive sound that is a huge upgrade from built-in TV speakers. Setup was quick and easy, and the Dolby Atmos feature adds a more cinematic feel to movies and shows. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an affordable soundbar with great performance.

At a glance
This 2.1 channel soundbar is a strong step up from built-in TV speakers for households wanting fuller sound, deeper bass and easy setup. It suits bedrooms, studies and average living rooms, with Dolby Atmos processing, a wireless subwoofer and flexible TV connections. It is best for everyday movie, TV and music use, but it will not deliver the room-filling surround precision of larger premium systems with rear speakers.
What it’s great for
- TV Audio Upgrade
- Movie Nights
- Casual Gaming
- Music Streaming
- Everyday Home Entertainment
Where it works best
- Bedroom
- Study
- Apartment Living Room
- Average Living Room
- Media Room
Who it’s for
- Everyday Household
- Movie Lover
- Casual Gamer
- Music Listener
- Apartment Dweller
Things to consider
It creates a wider, more immersive front soundstage, but without dedicated rear speakers it cannot match the precise surround placement and height realism of premium multi-speaker Dolby Atmos systems.
Tv compatibility score
9/10 - HDMI eARC, optical and AUX make it easy to pair with both newer and older TVs.
Movie night suitability
8/10 - strong value for movie watching thanks to 220W output, wireless subwoofer and immersive surround processing.
Music playback quality
7/10 - good everyday music performance with solid bass presence and Bluetooth streaming, though not as refined as higher-end music-focused systems.
Room size suitability
Best suited to bedrooms, studies and average living rooms.
Installation ease
8/10 - compact design, wireless subwoofer, included remote and wall mount kit make setup straightforward.
Key benefits
- 220W Total Output: Delivers a noticeably stronger and fuller sound than most built-in TV speakers for movies, music and games.
- 2.1 Channel Audio: Adds dedicated low-end support for more impactful bass while keeping the setup simpler than larger surround systems.
- Wireless Subwoofer: Brings deeper bass for action scenes, music beats and cinematic sound without needing a cable back to the soundbar.
- Dolby Atmos Processing: Expands the front soundstage to make movies and shows feel bigger and more immersive.
- DTS Virtual:X: Enhances spaciousness from the front of the room, helping create a more enveloping effect without rear speakers.
- HDMI eARC Connectivity: Simplifies connection to compatible TVs and supports easy control through your TV setup.
- Bluetooth 5.3 Streaming: Lets you play music wirelessly from compatible phones and tablets with a modern, convenient connection standard.
- Multiple Sound Modes: Music, voice, movie, sports, game and standard modes help tailor the sound to what you are watching or listening to.
Q: Does Dolby Atmos on the TCL S55H give true surround sound?
A: TCL S55H uses Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X processing to widen the soundstage from the front of the room. It can sound more spacious than TV speakers, but a 2.1-channel bar without rear speakers will not place effects as precisely as a true surround setup.
Q: Will this soundbar work with an older TV using optical or AUX?
A: Yes. TCL S55H supports optical and AUX as well as HDMI eARC, so it can connect to many older TVs as well as newer ones. With optical or AUX, setup stays flexible, but control and audio features still depend on what the TV output supports.
Q: Can the wireless subwoofer be placed anywhere in the room?
A: No. The subwoofer connects wirelessly to the soundbar for audio, but it still needs its own power point. Placement is more flexible than a fully wired sub, though it works best in the same room and within reach of mains power.
Q: Can I control the soundbar volume with my TV remote?
A: Yes, when TCL S55H is connected through HDMI eARC, many TVs can pass volume control through the TV remote. If you connect by optical or AUX, remote behaviour depends on the TV and setup, so the included soundbar remote may still be needed.
Q: Is the TCL S55H better for bedrooms or large open-plan rooms?
A: TCL S55H is better suited to bedrooms, studies and average living rooms than large open-plan spaces. Its 220W output and 2.1-channel design are aimed at a noticeable TV audio upgrade, not the scale or speaker spread of bigger multi-speaker systems.
Q: Can I add rear speakers later to make it full surround?
A: No. TCL S55H is a 2.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, and extra surround speakers are not part of its documented setup. It creates a wider effect from the front, but it is not designed as an expandable rear-speaker package.
