Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bose has a classic and clean design in most of their products. They hit all the check marks with this product. The sound bar is compact and looks amazing. I found that the sound quality is best for a small room. The sound is crips and clear which meets the expectations of a device in this price range; however, the base is not too strong so if you are looking for heavy base, get one of the systems with a subwoofer. The device works well in Bluetooth and connected quickly with my phone and computer.

Absolutely love my Bose sound bar! Easy to hook up and the sound is fantastic for TV, music and movies! Have already recommended to family and friends!

The Bose Solo 5 sound bar is a great speaker item both in size and price. The small footprint makes it ideal for smaller stands or cabinets. A bonus is the universal control that comes with the unit

Bose solo 5 gives you the surround sound for your TV on a budget. I purchased this because I love Bose products and they care about their customers when it comes to quality sound. This is a must if you on a bidget

The sound bar has a great sound and I do love how it is compact and doesn’t take a lot of room. The reason I didn’t give it a five was because I have to turn it on every time I turn on the TV.

The Bose sound bar was easy to set up and the sound quality is excellent. My only issue is that the remote would not connect with my Direct TV receiver.

I put this in our “extra” room 9x9 and the base rumbles. Pretty good speaker and it’s pretty small compared to our other sound bars. Sounds just as good as our others with subwoofers.

Got to love a bose !! Great sound, easy to hook up.. 1 cord!!! My kids had it up and working in 5 minutes!

I previously bought a sound bar because it was priced low... This Bose sound bar is so much better! The price was very good too. Well worth the spend! Start with this sound bar and you'll be happy!

I dont mind that the overall volume is not super loud, I have this set in a small room. my only thing is that i dont know the level of volume i have it on, sometimes my wife complains it is too loud and i think is just perfect. Guess it is all subjective. the speaker is very easy to set up, two cables, one for electrical power, one for connecting to the tv, it is an optical audio, so be sure to check you tv supports it. the other thing i dont kinda like is the fact that now i have 3 remotes for the tv. AS a universal remote, it kinda works sometimes, however not all DirectTv function are supported, or at least havent found the way to check the recorded shows.

Setup was fast and easy - less then 5 minutes. I have read reviews where users have said that the sound does not fill the room or that the sound lack bass when in use. I could not disagree more. I have the unit in a relatively large room and the sound is perfect. Bass can be added using the Bose remote, so that was not an issue.The one thing that I will state is that the Bose universal remote could not control my Xfinity X1 cable box so I had to train my Xfinity X1 remote to control the sound bar. Not a deal breaker by any stretch, but it would have been nice to have one less remote.But, if you're looking for a high quality Bose sound bar at a decent price, then this unit will fit the bill.

I purchased this item for my living room TV and also to listen to my favorite music. Very easy to install and set up, great quality and sound. I recommend this product.

This soundbar provided better sound than my TV and allows you to stream your music through it via bluetooth. It is very easy to set up and use. The sound is full, loud, and clear. Recommended.

This is a really good sound bar without needing a subwoofer. I live in an apartment, and this provides great sound without booming the floor. Very nice universal remote!

Purchased the Bose Solo 5 soundbar for my TV. The sound is SO MUCH BETTER than the speakers in the TV itself. Really like all its features and the universal remote.

I do not have a very big place, so this is a great soundbar. Love the way that it sounds and I love the remote, as you can program all of you devices in to it and only have 1 remote.

We have several BOSE unit's and this one is slightly smaller than our other units but it's for a bedroom TV so didn't really need to have a bigger unit and the sound quality is still excellent.

Works really well. Bass can be a little overwhelming. Easy to set up and does not take up much space. Better than the TV speakers on the Samsung tv for sure. Pricey, but get what you pay for.

I normally wouldn't purchase an expensive item such as this, so having gift cards and Christmas money helped with my decision. I was very pleased to note that my old Insignia TV had an optical output, and that the Bose included the cable for the connection. I have watched talk shows, movies, and listened to DVD's through my Blu-Ray player. What's nice is that the sound bar "remembers" the bass setting, so pressing the dialogue button on the remote for talk shows is great. My wife likes it better than having our old Bose Wave sitting on the floor in front of the TV stand. I was able to sell that, so that recouped some of the outlay for the Bose Sound Bar.

This is the best sound bar . I love its small size. Yet it works as great if not greater then a big one. I loved my first bose so much. I went out and bought a second one from Best Buy
