This is a great soundbar, especially in this price range. I only wish the TV remote controlled the sound,though. So as not to need the supplied Bose remote. One of these days I’m going to get a universal remote to combine all my TV related remotes into one.

Sound quality was great, blue tooth feature was great but over all not much more than what the TV provided. I thought that it would be an economical solution, but I returned it because I’m willing to spend a little more to get a little more.

Good added base in a small size at a reasonable price. My only complaint is about the remote.......it will not accept the device code specified in the Bose book for my Samsung TV. So I have two remotes to control the volumes.....one for the TV, the other for the Bose unit. Not ideal. I still like the product.

Good sound, but we needed not only clarity but the ability to still use our Cable remote to get On Demand. Did not want to control through soundbar remote. Also, no place for us to put the soundbar that it did not block our TV remote, so it did not work for us.

Bose. Need I say more? The sound went out on the TV after several years, and when it was working it was hard to hear because the speakers were so small. But Bose changed all that, the sound became richer, louder if I want, and very clear. An excellent speaker bar.

I had the original Bose Solo for years. I needed to replace it and was pleasantly surprised to learn the Solo 5 is much smaller and has even better audio quality. If you are looking for a tv sound bar, this one is really great. I highly recommend it.

We replaced another soundbar with this Bose model and couldn't be happier. The dialog mode is perfect for watching shows when you almost need to strain to hear what the actors are saying.
I've used Bose speakers in my media room for years and also use Bose for my DJ gigs.

The new flat TV's have a very real sound issue, because the speakers are so small and the sound comes from the back of the TV. The Bose sound bar solved the problem for me and I will be purchasing a Bose sound for every new TV I purchase I purchase in the future.

....not happy that the soundbar controller isn’t integrated with the TV Controller. You need to turn on the soundbar with one controller and the tv with the other controller. Anoying! Would be much more efficient if one controller managed both the TV and the soundbar. Too many controllers!

Love the sound bar no complaints. The only issue is integrating it w directv controller. When you turn on the television w the directv remote the bar does not automatically power up. But when you use directv remote to turn off the television the bar does power off. So I have to keep track of two controllers now

The connection is seamless. Be sure you have a place for it. If in front of your tv, make sure it won’t block your screen. Check your stand height for this. The quality is great, but it doesn’t seem to get too loud. It’s perfect for a smaller living room or bedroom. The remote is pretty cool too.

My concern was to Improve the quality of the tv sound during the time that the air conditioning fan, which is near the tv, is running. The solo helps some with that. It greatly improves the sound overall.

Great soundbar for our room. It was easy to set up and work with our tv.
I wish there was a attachment device for attaching it to our tv since it is mounted in the wall.
I am having a difficult time to try and get the remote to work with my direct tv remote.

I chose this Bose sound bar mainly for price but I ended up disappointed. It was okay, but didn't provide that "wow factor" I was after. Hardly no bass at all. I ended up taking it back and getting a much larger Bose sound bar with a bass box.

I was disappointed when I first unpacked it. I had been told in the store that it would attach to my TV, when in fact it would not. After looking into it a bit farther I found that a wall mount could be bought for it for another small investment and decided to keep it. I'm glad I did. I love it!

Excellent Sound but Annoying Issue

The BOSE Soundbar delivers typical BOSE pristine audio quality. I would give it 5 stars EXCEPT there is an annoying issue I have not been able to resolve. The unit often (like every other time I turn it on) freezes when I turn it on, forcing me to unplug it and plug it in again. Then, it works fine.
