    Good sound but not enough for a large room

    This gives good sound but not loud enough for our large loving room. We had to buy another speaker to place near my husband who is hard of hearing. Had a big problem to get the two speakers to be compatible.

    My wife and I wanted a speaker where vocals were clear and not drowned out by bass. This Bose solo5 does the trick!!! Now we can listen to the T. V. at a realistic volumn.

    Sounds great and is easy to connect with supplied wires. The only gripe is it doesn't have any buttons. This is only an issue when your brother loses your remote and there is no way to turn it on!

    My dad just got this a week ago and it is really good for such a small sound bar. Being BOSE I didn't expect anything less and it sounds great. Could tell a big improvement over the TV speakers.

    Use this in my summer home as both tv sound enhancement and Bluetooth music streaming. The dialog mode is great for many tv/movie soundtracks with low dialog. Great for streaming music from Pandora

    This soundbar delivers high quality sound and is reasonably priced. There is no need for a subwoofer either; the soundbar has blu-tooth capability as well. We are very satisfied with Bose.

    The solo 5 exceeded my expectations. It is a true bargain at $249.00. The voice reproduction is incredible. Even without a subwoofer the base is adequately present. Buy it with confidence.

    I feel like when I checked this product out at store whatever setting they had was better than the way it sounds at guy house. Good sound but I just don't think its as clear or loud as what I heard at the store.

    I found the bass to be lacking, but for a sound bar it does ok when paired to a 40" bedroom tv. It won't serve as a home theater system, but does the job. The remote was easy and controls the other components.

    It's Bose...how can it be bad? We connected it to our TV in our den. It enhances the voices, in particular, so you can actually hear the dialogue compared to just listening to the TV speakers.

    Helps with hearing dialog because it has a dialog option. Keeps everything else clear when dialog option is being used. No distortion from this speaker even at high volumn. Can adjust bass to help with sound.

    Haven’t seen a remote this big since the early 2000s. I don’t know what Bose was thinking trying to make buyers use THEIR universal remote over the smaller streamlined remote of a much more expensive Smart-TV or a stand alone smart platform. This thing never just turned on when I turned on my TV. It refused to set as the default audio output for my Apple TV. Spent way too much time trying to put up with it. Not worth the money.

    Soundbar works good but the remote was a disappointment. It would not bring up my apps to watch Netflix & Hulu. When I programmed the Blu-ray Player it did put them on the DVR Button that makes no sense.

    This soundbar left me wanting more. It was a decent soundbar but not what I was hoping it to be. Overall, if you have some cash, this won't break the bank.
