It sounds good but not as advertised
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I couldn't get the volume to work with my cable remote. The sound doesn't approximate surround sound as advertised.

Posted .Hi Joey,
I'm glad to hear that your like the sound of the Solo 5. To make you aware, the Solo 5 system is a one-piece soundbar that brings noticeably better sound to all your favorite TV programs. It’s engineered to help clearly reproduce everything from dialogue to details. And for even more clarity, its dialogue mode makes every word easier to hear. It was not designed to imitate a surround sound system.
We would be more than happy to assist you with controlling the system's volume with your cable remote. To do so, we will need some additional information, therefore I would recommend that you reach out to our team using the contact details on our website.
Thanks!

Great sound but won't sync to TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the performance of the sound bar, however, it's supposed to sync to the TV so I can just use one remote and I wasn't able to do it despite many attempts.

||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not good as expected from Bose . Nothing special as any other sound bar
No, I would not recommend this to a friendLoud speaker
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, the speaker is loud enough. However, I was disappointed that the coaxial cord didn’t come in the box.

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not bad for the money. The sound is very limited and doesn't have the highs and lows like the Sonos does.

Worst soundbar ever!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this soundbar online yesterday and picked it up at the store. The sound was so plain as the bass was not just enough after increasing it to the maximum. I am definitely returning this. I guess when company that makes high end products tries to make cheap ones they make them so horrible so that you can buy the expensive ones.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great Price, Low Bass
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is amazing for its price but it does not have any decent bass. A subwoofer add on option would have saved this product

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBose Bummer
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had Bose speakers for the last 20 years. I have an all Bose surround sound that cranks through the entire house. I was pretty disappointed in this product. The sound quality isn’t that good and it’s not that loud when you crank it up. It was very difficult trying to find a website that has the remote control codes. I would not recommend this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOverpriced soundbar
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I know, it's Bose and every Bose product is overpriced. But the sound quality of this soundbar barely beat my Samsung TV speaker. I used it for just a little over 1 year and replaced it with a Vizo sound system. Now I wish someone could have told me not to buy Solo 5 in the first place because it sounds like garbage comparing to other soundbars / sound systems
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Compact size, Sound quality

Not worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Speaker was not loud enough as people could still speak over it very easily... on BT mode while playing music the quality sounded horrible as it's only 2- 1inch woofers and the remote is complicated ... it's a sound bar it should only have volume up and down ... source and maybe different audio settings remote has about 40 buttons and bulky ...also you can't turn the sound bar on without the remote

Posted .Hi Squishimonster,
Thank you for purchasing and taking the time to review your Solo 5 TV Soundbar. I am deeply sorry to hear that you are unhappy with volume that the Soundbar outputs and would highly recommend that you ensure that the Soundbar and the TV are both set to the desired volume.
I would also recommend that you perform a reset via turning off the product and disconnecting it from power for 1 minute before reconnecting the power cord and attempting to use the system again.
If you are still experiencing this after you have attempted these steps then please reach to our customer support team via https://bose.life/2XnA0oS so we can assist you further with this issue.
Kind Regards,

Was expecting more for the price paid.

Posted .Hello Lefty16,
Thank you for leaving your review of the Solo 5 TV Soundbar.
The speaker is a 2.0 channel speaker system which does not feature surround sound effect implementation. It is only capable of distribution a left and right stereo audio field.
Many thanks again for your review, and thank you for considering Bose.
Kind regards,

Great soundbar
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited about getting this soundbar but when I get home open the box try to pair there was no remote in the box., I was so disappointed I had to return it, then they told it actually says it on the box. No it didn’t where she showed it says it. Not even a computer would be able to read it. I just took her word for it guess. But I really liked it and it was the last one.
