    We bought this because our tv was not loud enough. We didn’t care to have any extras just a soundbar. This works great for what we needed it for. I would recommend and purchase again. Only problem we have had was unable to get the remote to program to our tv.

    The Bose Solo 5 Soundbar was a very nice addition to my new flatscreen television. The audio quality enhances our movie watching experience. There is a crispness to the sound that is not on the built-in speaker in the television. It is what I expected from Bose at this price range.

    I’ve had it for quite sometime and its been OKAY. The only issues I would say is that sometimes it disconnects from the tv and you have to reconnect it every single time which is annoying. I only wish that it was more bass heavy as well.

      Hi Goku, thank you for taking the time to review our product. I'm sorry to hear that it disconnects from your TV. I would suggest trying a different cable to eliminate that as the issue. In regards to the Bass, you can adjust the Bass on the system by pressing the Bass button until the indicator blinks white three times and press + to increase the Bass. I hope this helps! Thank you for your time.
      Have a great day!
      Kindest,

    I bought this for additional sound because let’s face it, they don’t make tv’s like they used to anymore. I have a Samsung 65” curved tv and the sound is subpar. I added this baby for extra sound and clarity, and I was blown away! I can’t wait to get the subwoofer soon.

    Love the sound bar. Easy to install and definitely helps with the uneven distribution of sound with TVs these days. My only complaint is when adjusting the volume you can't see it on your TV so you have no idea where you are. So it can be difficult to get it right for the room. But other than that it's awesome

    Bose lives up to it's reputation for quality sound! This was a requested present for my daughter who says it has turned her living room into an entertainment center. I have an older model Bose soundbar and I am still loving mine after 4 years.

    We “upgraded” from a Samsung sound bar and I wish we hadn’t. I understand that this is an entry level sound bar but the sound quality left me unimpressed - especially for Bose. I will probably end up replacing it with another Samsung unit.

    We purchase this smaller soundbar for a sound system we install into smaller churches. It reproduces the piano music we've had recorded in perfect clarity and in top quality. For the small church that does not have a piano player, this is the component we depend on for the best sound delivery.

    Bose is always a consistent top quality sound speaker and this one fits the mold. I hooked it up as a soundbar for a flat screen tv but via wifi can channel music from my phone and listen to any source of music, plus its easily unplugged and used anywhere I need a great sound system in my house via the wifi option.

    It's a good soundbar. It was fairly easy to connect via wireless to our Echo Dot to connect our Spotify and hear it well through the house. The downfall is the only visual is a blinking dot on the sound bar if you raise or lower the volume. We wished that it would showcase on the tv or even on the soundbar the volume in numbers.

    I love the sound this thing produces especially for the size. Huge drawback is the monstrous remote and inability to sync with the tv, it's sound controls operate separately from the tv forcing you to use 2 remotes

    This soundbar has good midrange accuracy and natural sounding high's. Low frequency response is good for the size. It would have been nice to have a sub output, that does not exist on this unit. That being said, we actually bought 2 to improve the sound on some of our smaller tv locations.
