TCL Alto 8 Plus 2.1.2ch Soundbar: A Major Upgrade for $79

Author : Simon Jun 19,2025

Starting this week, Walmart has slashed the price of the *TCL Alto 8 Plus 2.1.2ch Soundbar and Subwoofer Bundle* down to just $79—with free shipping included. This is a massive discount from its usual retail price of $259.99, making it an outstanding value for anyone looking to upgrade their home audio setup without breaking the bank. Compared to the tinny sound of most built-in TV speakers, this soundbar delivers a rich, immersive listening experience that’s well worth the investment.

TCL Alto 8 Plus 2.1.2 Channel Dolby Atmos Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer

TCL Alto 8 Plus Soundbar

The TCL Alto 8 Plus features a 40-inch soundbar—significantly longer than most models in this price range, which tend to be under 30 inches. That extra length allows for improved speaker separation, enhancing spatial audio performance and delivering a more expansive soundstage. It also looks great beneath larger TVs (55 inches and up). Despite its budget-friendly price tag, the Alto 8 Plus comes packed with solid features, including a 2.1 channel layout complemented by two height channels for Dolby Atmos surround sound. While not as immersive as a full multi-speaker Atmos setup, it still offers noticeably better depth and realism than standard stereo speakers. The package also includes a dedicated wireless subwoofer, which adds essential low-frequency punch and richness to movies, music, and games.

For the money, this system represents an impressive leap in audio quality over typical television speakers. While high-end setups can cost thousands, the returns on investment diminish quickly beyond this point. To get something truly better than the Alto 8 Plus, you’ll likely need to spend significantly more.
