Hi JoeyBest, I'm sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the sound of your Solo 5 soundbar. It's worth noting that trying different connection options and cables could improve the audio experience. Additionally, you might want to check the bass adjustment and ensure that the TV volume is down to zero. If these steps don't help, please don't hesitate to contact our Customer Service. Our agents are always happy to help. Warmest wishes, Anne

Hello Jaket! Thanks very much for taking the time to review the Solo 5 TV Sound System. The soundbar is designed to replace the speakers that are native to your TV. One of the most popular features is the Dialogue mode which enhances vocals to hear each word and detail clearly. You can also stream music directly to the soundbar via Bluetooth! These are some things that you may find helpful in getting the most out of your Bose speaker. As always, if you have additional questions feel free to contact our support team https://bose.life/1RwxI8E. Regards, Greg - Bose Support

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoy the sound quality. One thing we've noticed with customers looking for louder sound is to check your cable/satellite box. It may have an independent volume and bring that up to 90% or so and controlling volume with the Bose should improve this dramatically. If you'd like to look at your setup further with us, we are here to help. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM EST.

Very disappointed. I brought this sound bar to add bass and greater sound when watching movies. The TV volume is better and louder. The bass is very low. There is no volume level indicator. I will be returning this for another LG sound bar which sounds great.

You hear the name Bose, automatically your mind think high quality. This sound bar is built well but it’s very high in treble and sound max is not loud at all. Returned it and purchased the Sonos sound bar. WOW is all I can say. Find my Sonos review.

I use it for long hours everyday. I have to unplug it almost everyday to get it to play. Very glad I bought the warranty. I’m waiting for unplugging it doesn’t fix it, then I will turn it in for a new one. If you buy this? I recommend you also buy the warranty.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We'd like to help with one point that may help increase the volume for you. Many cable/satellite boxes have variable volume output. Turning up the volume on the box (different than the TV volume) or changing the audio output to "fixed" within its settings menu are good things to check.

I got this knowing that Bose had a reputation of being the best of the best. And upon hooking it up I was really disappointed with the sound at. It’s like listening to tv through your car radio. In the store it sounded so much better and so much louder.
