Posted .Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our Solo 5 Soundbar!
We're sorry to hear that you ended up returning this soundbar as you were unhappy with the sound quality.
Although you have already returned this system, we would recommend adjusting the bass levels using the remote control, using the "dialogue mode" to enhance voice audio (if you should want to), as well as balancing/testing this with multiple sources to see if you can find a level that you were happy with!
We hope to win you back in the future, and have a great day!
Disappointing performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a Bose cube that produces better sound than this sound bar. Also could not get the sound bar volume to change without using the Bose remote.

Volume not the best
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The max volume is not what you would expect from a bose sound bar. Also, remote control is huge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBose love them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Bose. This was very And expensive but I still got it, it’s definitely worth it not as nice if I would’ve spent more money, but still worth it
I would recommend this to a friendOk but returned
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a large room where the TV is located and I had a VISIO sound bar with that TV. I was never happy with the VISIO. There are some tones that I have trouble hearing and I was having trouble with dialog in some shows. I purchased this Solo 5 soundbar and I was disappointed with the sound quality, not much better than the VISIO. I returned the Solo 5 and purchased the Bose Soundtouch soundbar. Big difference! I especially like the dialog mode. In my opinion, don't waste you money on the Solo 5.

Average sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expected more sound power from bose. Think it's a little over priced for a bose sound bar at this price point may look for a competitors sound bar.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for helping to understand spoken voices better. It is good but not great. I didnt realize it had to be hard wired to a tv.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOK SOUND BAR
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I PURCHASED THIS PARTICULAR SOUND BAR BECAUSE OF THE PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS OF MY WALL UNIT. HAVE NOT REALLY USED IT YET. IN A SMALL TEST IT IMPROVED MY TV SOUND ONLY MARGINALLY.

It's a Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Soundbar looked great and had good sound. Unfortunately the sound from our television was better quality and we returned the soundbar.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOkay... but bit dissapointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Size and design os slim. Connection ports are good. But sound quality isnt really bose... Feel like paying for design not for sound quality. Too expensive for this quality.

Posted .Thank you for taking the time to write your review. There are definitely ways to look at improving your experience with the Solo system. The most common is raising the volume on your cable/satellite box to about 90 percent to ensure that a strong signal is being sent to the system (or setting its audio output to fixed in the settings menu). If you like, we have experienced technicians available that can help explore your setup further. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM EST.
Made for watching TV only
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good enough to watch tv. Not good enough to enjoy watching movies (has no bass) and definitely not good for music. Upgraded to the next model with woofer and love it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBetter than TV Speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed on a 55" Insignia Fire TV, and while better than the TV speakers, I am not thrilled with it. For $200 I should be thrilled.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBose Sound Bar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a Bose. But, the demo in the store was much better then what this unit sounds like in my home. I am going to use for my bedroom instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood sound, but it has fading issues.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is great, but the sound fades out out for a secon or two when connecting to cable. This also happens each time you fast forward using the DVR.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot as loud as expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The zvox sound bar was much louder than this one, got them both to compare for a hard of hearing person And the zvox worked much better for that
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIt’s good but not great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The remote is gigantic and the volume control takes so many clicks to get the volume louder. I wasn’t too impress with the sound quality
I would recommend this to a friendGood product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an ok speaker for the price. We have a smaller version and this the sound quality is almost similar. This one is louder than the smaller version.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendTried because of no separate sub-woofer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bose is usually great. But this is a bit "tinny" sounding even adjusting the bass and I can't even tell the difference between the only two settings.
