    This sound bar sounds great but if you just need something for a very nice small room. Do your research before purchasing. Besides that it works well & sounds great

    I have gotten used to having a soundbar with my TV as my hearing is not as good as it once was. I knew when I saw the Bose soundbar, that was the one I wanted and it lives up to its name. Great choice.

    I am disappointed that we are unable to see the level of volume. Each time I need to adjust up or down to hear different TV shows. Hopefully, you can let me know that there is a way to view volume level!

    My husband is hard of hearing and our family room is quite large. This sound bar was a brilliant choice for our house. I was really against the addition of the sound bar ,but I am more than pleased. Thank you BEST BUY.

    Small sound bar, but packs a punch. Sound is great for what it is. I’ve owned a few sound bars and none have lived up to the challenge. I’m impressed with the Bose Solo 5

    For the small footprint this little Bose speaker is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to add to their 42in or smaller TV for better than expected sound. Great for adding to a bedroom or small living space.

    I purchased this for bedroom and ended up purchasing for living room as well. The vase is not deep but my main focus was the volume sound. It is clear and I do recommend.

    The sound bar is the perfect fit for our tv and console. The sound bar fits easily in front of the tv and provides excellent sound. Any dialog is easy to understand and it is also great for watching sports.

    I bought this to replace an LG sound bar, which I felt was subpar, in terms of dialog clarity. This unit is considerably clearer. I would have given five stars, if the price was a little more reasonable.

    We didn’t think it was much different, and then on top of that, we had to use another control to turn it on. Wasted my money because it didn’t even last a year! Gargage!

    Bose-Solo 5 TV Soundbar is good to enhance voice and bass from your TV. Don't look for overwhelming loudness/volume. This unit has low output wattage but does do the job with Bose status.

    I was expecting much more out of Bose, this one fell short. My other Bose unit that’s a lot smaller has more sound so where is all the sound at for a sound bar? That’s a great question.
