    I bought this one as PC speaker. First time, I connected it with 3.5mm audio cable, sound quality below the average. After I connected with optical cable, the sound is much better. The volume is kind of low. The size is perfect to put this sound bar under monitor.

    Yes, it amplifies the sound but I didn’t find that it improves the clarity of spoken words. I knew that this item wouldn’t deliver deep bass but for a Bose product I expected a little more.

      Hi, Lcwizard.

      Thank you for your review of the Solo 5 TV Soundbar. We would be curious to know if you've tried the system's "Dialogue Mode" to enhance the clarity of vocals in your programs.

      After pressing the 'speech bubble' button, which is located underneath the 'BASS' button, the green LED light on the soundbar will turn to a solid amber. This indicates that Dialogue Mode is enabled.

      Please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at 1-800-367-4008 for further assistance. They are available M-F 9 AM to 9 PM Eastern. Thank you, and have a great day!

    This is only a modest improvement over the speakers on my Sony 40" TV. I was unable to program the remote to operate the TV and Directv on the Bose device even though I followed all directions and must use two remotes to control both my TV and Directv receiver.

    I purchased this Bose soundbar to replace a Philips 5 speaker surround sound system. Bose sound bar is super easy to set up. Pulled it out of the box, connected the power cord and digital sound cable. Then paired the universal remote with my Samsung TV as shown on page 16 of the Owner's Guide. Sound and remote functions are working perfectly with DIRECTV. You can get to your recorded shows in DIRECTV by pushing the "menu" button on the remote. Push "guide" to get to DirecTV guide. It's that easy. You can easily record a show by pushing the red dot "record" button on the remote. (This doubles as the "delete" function when deleting shows from your recordings list...so be careful there) I did adjust the bass sound exactly as the instructions show on page 18 of the Owner's Guide for movies. The bass maxes out and does not provide bass sound like Pioneer car speakers, but it does have extremely clear sound and enough bass to my liking in my large living room. (400+ sq feet). As other reviewers have mentioned, right under the "bass" button, there is a "dialogue" button to press for extra voice clarity on regular dialogue programs. I turn it on immediately when I turn on the remote if I want decreased bass for news, talk shows, or regular programs. You can easily play music from iPhone by turning on Bluetooth on iphone, pressing Bluetooth icon at the top of the Bose remote - the speaker immediately pairs. (You will hear a beep and see a blue light flashing and know that it is paired) Then play a tune from phone and adjust volume from either the remote or phone. Sound clarity is excellent. Again, I adjusted the bass to highest setting, and while this still isn't a party thumping type of bass sound, it completely fills room with beautiful sound. I will be using the speaker often to listen to my tunes at a medium to low sound without shaking the walls. Overall, I love the ease of use and clear sound. Would definitely recommend this soundbar if you are looking for easy setup and Bose quality sound at a fraction of the price for full Bose surround.
