    It didn't work with our TV or receiver. Think it would have been great otherwise.

    I bought this system to supplement the new Samsung 40 inch flat screen TV I bought at Best Buy. I think it's ideal for use in a small room.

    This sound bar is sleek and looks good on the TV stand. It sounds good for what I use it for (bedroom), but in my research I found this soundbar to be rated fairly midrange. I mean its good for the price, but I'm going to pay a little more and try the Sonos Beam bc of the Alexa integration. That being said this is still a good soundbar.

      Hi Gmiles,

      Thanks for sharing your experience of the Solo 5 soundbar. Glad to hear that you're enjoying it for your needs. We appreciate the feedback on the sound. If you're interested in a better sounding system, we recommend that you take a look at the Soundbar 500/700 that come with Alexa built in.

      Thanks again, and have a great day!

    We like the sound bar and the sound it projects. I prefer seeing some type of bar showing the sound increasing or decreasing when changing the sound level.
