The TCL Alto 8i 2.1 is acceptable for mixed usage. Its uneven sound profile may not be ideal for fans of a more neutral sound. It also lacks low-bass, so you don’t feel the deep thump and rumble in action-packed movies or bass-heavy music. It supports Dolby Atmos and surrounds content, but it doesn’t provide a very immersive listening experience. Fortunately, its balanced mid-range is suitable for vocal-centric content, and there are some sound customization features.
