    I am a big Bose fan, have two of their surround sound speaker systems and love them but this soundbar is missing something like the base or depth to the sound. Returned and bought a more expensive one with the subwoofer, much better.

      Hello,

      We are glad to hear of your support, thanks for taking the time in providing us with your feedback.

      Sorry that you were disappointed with the bass response of your system, did you know you can adjust the audio equalization controls via the remote control?

      - On the remote control, press the Bass button: The light on the speaker blinks white three times
      - Press the + or - button to increase or decrease the amount of bass
      - Press the Bass button to save your setting: The light on the speaker blinks white three times.

      Kind regards,
      Tegan - Customer Support bose

    The worst sound bar

    By far the worst choice for a sound bar I could have made. It’s terrible. I’m very disappointed in Bose. I thought they were supposed to be a leader in electronics. It’s a shame they charge so much for TV’s theses days and can’t put good speakers in them.

    Sound bar actually works excellent

    Speakers on my TV are bad so I bought this BOSE sound bar. Sound bar does an excellent job being a sound bar and major improvement from my TV speakers. I do not hear any static or unwanted noises from sound bar. Still sounds good when played loud. Not too big, not too expensive, and easy to hook up and use. So far I have no issues. Great sound bar.

    I bought the Bose soundbar because I bought a new TV and wanted to have that "loved" Bose sound(I have a Bose Acousticwave doublestack and Bose companions 2) and love them, I was expecting the same with the soundbar, let me just say that the speakers on the TV was louder and cleaner than the Bose, my opinion, stay away from this soundbar.

    If you trying to get a cheap and great sound out of your tv, go with Vizio sorroundsound. It's half the price and it comes with a sound bar, a Bluetooth bass and two other smaller speakers

    I purchased this to provide more audio quality then my Sony 40" TV. It was not much louder then the TV when bar was as loud it would go. TV went louder then soundbar. I did connect it to Bluetooth to my iPhone and it was slightly better but not what I was hoping for.

    This sound bar was honestly cheap. I own many Bose products and I was disappointed with the quality it put out... I had it up as far as it would go and it still sounded almost identical to the tvs regular output speakers... bose was just a name on the product. I took it back.

    I was disappointed in the performance of the Bose Solo 5 that I purchased. The volume of the sound was very low (and could not be raised) so I had to return it. The unit had very little capability in creating a stereo effect as the speaker sound appeared to be in mono.

    It's just ok. Not very robust, and not nearly as loud as I anticipated. My Beats boom box is way louder and richer than this sound bar. The first Bose product I have ever been disappointed with. I bought this item because of the price though, and you get what you pay for!

    We bought this assuming that Bose would make a great sound bar, like their headphones that we love, however this soundbar was a a major disappointment. We returned it and bought a ZVOX brand, which we love.

      I am so sorry that you were disappointed with the sound, this does seem unusual. Had you not have returned the speaker, we could have got this fixed for you with the troubleshooting here https://bose.life/2E1jgvi.

      I hope you will consider Bose in the future.
