Which is better for a TV?

The Memorex. HDMI ARC and optical input give a direct digital link to the TV, and 24W fills a room better than 5W. The TILEMU relies on Bluetooth or aux, which adds lag and a weaker signal.

The TILEMU runs on a 2,000 mAh battery rated for 240 hours, so it plays without a cord. The Memorex needs power for full output and its battery is a backup, not a long-run source.

Is the Memorex worth stepping up to?

Yes if the bar sits under a TV. You get HDMI ARC, optical input, a wall mount and more power. Skip it if you need something portable.

Does either support Dolby Atmos?

No. Both are stereo bars without Atmos or surround decoding. For Atmos you need a higher-tier bar with up-firing drivers.

Can the TILEMU replace a TV speaker?

Only for casual use. It connects by Bluetooth or aux, so lip-sync can drift and 5W won't fill a living room. The Memorex is the better TV replacement.

Do both come with a remote?

Yes. Both include a remote, and the Memorex also ships with an aux cable, power adapter and wall mount kit.

Memorex MX-SB270 Soundbar vs TILEMU Wireless Bluetooth TV Soundbar

Buy the Memorex MX-SB270 for a TV setup. It has HDMI ARC, optical input, 24W of power and a wall mount, so it connects to a TV with one cable and stays in sync. The TILEMU is a small battery speaker rated 5W with a 3.8 rating from 18 owners; its 240-hour battery life and FM radio suit casual listening, not movie sound. Neither has Dolby Atmos or app control, and the Memorex's 2.0 drivers are modest, but it is the more capable TV bar.

Choose the Memorex MX-SB270 if you want a wall-mountable TV soundbar with HDMI ARC, optical input and a remote.
Choose the TILEMU if you want a cheap, portable Bluetooth speaker with a rechargeable battery, FM radio and TF card playback.
