TCL S45HE

A compact 2.0 format soundbar, released by the TCL brand in 2024, primarily recommended for use with TVs around 43 inches in size. The model is targeted at users looking for a significant improvement in sound compared to built-in TV speakers, without additional modules and subwoofers. Despite its minimalist configuration, the TCL S45HE soundbar supports modern audio formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X.

This enables a surround sound effect even without physically separate rear channels — virtual processing technology creates a sense of depth and direction of sound. The nominal power is 100W, which is quite sufficient for an average room and everyday use: watching movies, TV shows, and listening to music. The soundbar features a basic set of interfaces, including Bluetooth for wireless audio transmission, as well as USB A, mini-jack 3.5 mm, optical, and HDMI input. This variety of connections makes it compatible with a wide range of sources — from a TV to a laptop or media player. In terms of size, the model belongs to medium-sized devices (810×60×98 mm) and does not require much space for installation, be it on a shelf or wall-mounted. Control is implemented via a remote control, which is familiar and convenient for everyday use.
