The TCL Alto 8i is okay for mixed usage. Its sound profile is a bit dark and boomy due to the extra warmth in the bass and the recessed treble. Vocals and lead instruments still reproduce pretty clearly, making this soundbar suitable for most types of content. While it supports many different audio formats, including Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital, it has to downmix them into stereo for playback, which doesn't sound very immersive.
