    Slick piece of gear. Easy to install with good sound. Disappointed in volume available. Hard to hear in s noisy room-like for a sports event. Not easy to couple with cable control—so what’s new.

    We were running an older sound system. We purchased the Bose sound bar, it was very easy to install and program the remote. It has plenty of volume to fill the room

    Perfect low cost shredder for light use. In my situation, this is in a vacation home where I seldom have things to shred, but when I do, it is good to know I have this little guy to do the job.

      Hello!

      If you are after more bass from your Solo 5, you can increase the amount using the Bass button on the remote. Simply press the Bass button, then the volume + to increase the bass. When you are happy with the level, press the Bass button again to save the setting.

      I hope this helps!

    I purchased a Bose Solo 5 for my medium sized living room, and it fills the room with excellent sound. I especially enjoy hearing the voices speak clearly, separate from background music.

    After purchasing both the TV and the sound bar, and installing it, I realized that I will have to use 3 remotes to operate the TV, a not-so-friendly function.

    This thing sounds excellent for our 1100 sq ft apartment. The remote is a bit bulky but I've programmed the sound bar to my Harmony remote so I don't use it.

    The sound is what you expect from Bose. My only issue with it is you never know what level the volume is or know what function you are in.

    This sound bar works great especially in a smaller room. I also think it’s a great value for the price. This doesn’t have the hdmi connection though.

    Good acoustics but not impressive bass

    I purchased this soundbar because of the brand name and the fact that I still own a Bose solo TV speaker sound system which I love. This new one is only 35w output and my old one is 50w. There is a noticeable difference between the two. The remote is cheesy, but ideal if you want one control for multiple devices. I probably would not buy this item again, but would purchase the Bose Acoustimass 15 system instead. To save a bit of money, I took a chance. Plus, it is for the bedroom TV which doesn't demand a lot of Bass anyway.

    Great product, amazing sound but unable 2 control the volume with the TV remote. Sound bar will not pair with the LG remote. Must use the Bose remote 2 control the sound bar.

    I wanted a small-ish sound unit for my wall mounted tv without having to add shelves or a big hassle. This unit was perfect. Securely wall mounted beneath the tv also helped with cord control.

    I returned it. Sound was ok but need to use separate remote to control just sound not the best choice. Got instead Samsung soundbar that lets you control everything from small single Samsung remote.

    It seems that the large the TV's the worse the speakers are. This is the second Bose I've bought for my 2nd TV set. Makes me feel as if I'm in at the theater.

    I would have given this 5 stars, but the speaker doesn't have a light that indicates whether it is on or off. It's a small thing, but you would think that Bose could afford to have a light at this price point.
