Sales rep did great job of explaining MOST of connection process. . Returned to store with questions about use of soundbar remote. Day after installation, tv (6 mo. old) developed major problems, First could not tun tv off with remote, then couldn't turn ON. Extensive exam by tv service provider, new remote control, tv still not functioning. Still undetermined if connection between soundbar installation and tv operation.

This was bought as a gift for my parents. It's an excellent brand name and has very excellent sound quality in such a small component!

Great audio, sleek look, perfect for enhancing voice in TV and movies without blasting music. Little pricey, but worth it so far.

Hooked up to a 60" tv. Good sound and it can be loud. Fools the dogs with the tv sounds. Too realistic for them.

Only have it a 3/5 because I feel that Bose could have had a digital display on it to show what level the volume is at. I also have tried the enhanced voice but it's had to know if it is on or off now. Also don't like that it doesn't sync up with my direct tv remote. Now I have the hassle of programming the bulky bose remote which I haven't gotten around too yet. All in all it works like a sound bar should, great volume for how small it is.

This soundbar sounds just okay. It is very short on options, for instance, it does not have hdmi arc in. That is available on most lower level brand soundbars these days even. The best part about this speaker is the vocals. I eventually brought this back and purchased a system with a separate sub.

This is a good one piece sound bar. It doesn't have the sound range of a 2 piece system, but very nice if limited on room.

This was just right for us. It is unobtrusive and simple to set up. I appreciate it having to have a big woofer to the system.

Much better than TV speakers

Did not want a complicated system or extra wires to run. This is simple and to the point. It helps the dialog come through much better than tv speakers. Our tv had the speakers pointing down so everything was muffled. This is perfect until we can get a better system that actually does more in the surround sound department.
Be careful of the optical cable connection. We've lost sound a few times and it was the optical cable that popped out.

Was on sale and sounds pretty decent. I'd prefer to have a subwoofer included for more bass but I can always add it later.

Hi, Shmo.
Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you're enjoying the Solo 5 Soundbar. Just to clarify, the Solo 5 is engineered as a standalone speaker and does not support additional components, such as a subwoofer.
You can increase the bass response of the system using the remote - https://bose.life/2tuQgRX. We hope this helps. Have a great New Year!
