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 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.

Not the best choice for Samsung TV

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.

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.

This is a small sound bar with good sound. Can hear each dialogue very clearly. Can be mounted or kept anywhere near your TV. Can play the music through WI-Fi. Very Happy with this purchase!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
