    I replaced my old soundbar because the Bose sounded better in the local BB store. I do not think this sound bar does as good with music as my old sound bar but dialog is much clearer. I wear hearing aids and the words seem to be crisper. I can follow the story lines better.

    After several other soundbars not meeting my expectations, I went ahead and spent the extra money for the Bose. It is good quality for a bedroom where strong sub bass is not needed. Voice quality is good and does not require high volume to understand speech.

    This is a great little bedroom sized sound bar. I actually use a Bluetooth connector on the TV and have the sound bar set up on the headboard. It's definitely better than the onboard speakers in the TV.

    Love this soundbar! We didn’t want a surround sound system or a sub woofer. Done that before. We just needed to be able to hear the tv better and this fits the bill. Very happy with this and would highly recommend.

    I have a TV stand for tradeshows showing technical videos of our products. The Bose Solo 5 Mounted right to the monitor bar with the optional mounting bracket. Looks great and sounds better.

    Bought this to use with my 55" LG TV. It's small and powerful. It's a bose so the quality is there. Don't expect to wake the neighbors because its not made for that purpose but is a huge upgrade from the tv speakers. overall am satisfied with it.

    I bought this based soley on the brand name and prior experience with other bose speakers. A very good speaker for smaller rooms. My dimensions are 10 x 12 in the media room. I would not recommend it for anything much larger, such as a great room or basement man cave.

    The Bose soundbar enhances the sound of the tv. However, I am disappointed that there is no control that allows one to adjust the bass, mid range and high range. I think the Bose products are good, but over priced and over rated.

    We recently needed to replace the speaker for our patio TV. We immediately decided on a Bose the same that we have had in the living room for over 2 years and has provided excellent service and sound. We love both of them.

    I researched sound bars for weeks, came down to this and a Sony as they both had the highest rated "clear voice" features. Due to size and the fact I specifically did NOT want a sub, I went with the Bose and haven't looked back. Absolute perfection.

    This sound bar improved the clarity of the vocal sounds. You need to push the button which is the dialogue box. I never had a sound at before. I was a little disappointed. I thought it would improve the sound more.

    Took a few minutes to get it setup. Sounds great for the price $199 but one month later it is $160??? That is a great deal. Wish bestbuy would give member a longer time to price match their own store

    This is just what I needed, but did not realize it. Sound is not great on big screen TV's, so I was always turning up or down on the remote. I have my Alexa Echo plugged into this and enjoy listening and great sound when playing music!

    We purchased this with a new TV. The sound from this Bose is much better than from the TV. We mounted it on the wall just below the TV and it fits in. We could have gone with a larger system with additional speakers but this one met our needs.

    I really love this solo for my Sony smart 60inch tv. But most of all my son loves it to play his music and games. It would have been helpful if I didn’t have to used 3 remotes. But I can live with it since the sound trumps the 3 remotes

    FANTASTIC SOUND !!! I wish we’d had enough money to buy one for each TV. Remote is overly complicated. (Many people would want to pair this to their streaming service remote.)

    This is very compact speaker has great sound but I wish it had operation buttons on the speaker itself. This has to be operated only through the remote which is the only downside to me

    was looking for a speaker that had great depth in sound for my tv. I literally would have to turn up my tv volume to 70 because I could not hear it once my a/c was on. Now with just a few clicks on of the Bose speaker the sound is so rich. Love it!
