I would recommend this to a friendAverage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is pretty average for a quality brand name.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendVery disappointed!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased less than a year ago. Sounded great when it worked. Then it occasionally would not turn on with the TV which required taking it off the wall, unplugging it, then plugging it back in to get it to work again. Very annoying! Over time it quit working more and more frequently. Today it quit working altogether. Very frustrated that I paid $250.00 for this thing and it completely failed in less than a year!

Nope
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar is pretty horrible yes the sounds clear that’s about it. I exchanged it for a Sony bar that came with a slim subwoofer way better.

||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the levels capped by a factory setting and cannot be adjusted. very disappointed that this soundbar does not provide the sound so many other bose devices can. i get more base from my headphones.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDidn’t help my husband
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We purchased this because my husband has trouble hearing the tv. It didn’t help. Our new smart tv has a great sound without a sound bar. We returned the sound bar since there was not a great difference in the sound.

Posted .Hello, Aznewbee.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Solo 5 TV Soundbar. We are sorry to hear that the product didn't meet you and your husband's needs.
To provide some clarification, the Solo 5's "Dialogue Mode" can be enabled by tapping the speech bubble button below the BASS button on the remote. The solid green LED on the soundbar will turn to a solid amber. Bass will be decreased so that voices are clearer.
Though you have chosen to return the system, we hope you keep us in mind in the future. Have a great day!
Best Regards,
Jesse - Bose Support
insufficient volume
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased it to get greater volume since my new Samsung Smart T.V. releases the volume down toward the base it sits on. I was very disappointed that it really wasn't much better than what I had originally. Should have bought Wireless earphones.

Posted .Hello there. Thank you for the review. You should be getting plenty of volume from the Solo 5, especially in comparison to the TV's volume. We would like to help you get the sound you should be getting from the Solo and we would definitely like to help. Please call us at 800-380-4831 so that we may assist. We are available Monday through Friday 9am to 9pm EST.
I can not get decent sound out of it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It brings the voice forward which is good. But can not get good sound out of it, Voices are sounding like "muffled". Tried many times to adjust the bass but it is the only adjustment and is hard to do and still does not have good sound. I have a LG OELD 54 in and it does not have good sign so thought this would help and voice is better. Geek people said it may be because I watch a lot of the older recorded programs but I have a 10 year old Sony 44 in and can get better sound on it with only tv speakers. also must use 2 remotes does not totally set up with dish.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendStarted to crackle after 9 months
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first 9 months were great then one day it started to get fuzzy and crackly. Now every day it sounds like static through the speaker. Sooo annoying. Need to find a new one.

Posted .Hey there,
I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing some issues with your Solo 5 system.
I would recommend a reset. You can do this by unplugging the system from power for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in.
If this is unsuccessful, I would recommend reaching out to our team using the contact details here: https://bose.life/2GVl0Yf.
Thanks!

Poor Performance
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Expected a significant improvement over the TV volume, but the Bose soundbar does not deliver. The improvement is marginal at best. This product does not represent Bose well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDont Bother
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As someone who has spent of to of time building homes and putting tech in my homes and others This soundbar is as worthless as can be for the price . BOSE customer support by far the worst ive come across in years Ask anyone. They sell based on a name. Bass quality is garbage . Voice controls are subpar same compliants with all bose Vocals are lower . High limit volume is that of a duck When it reaches max you scratch your heas as to why they wouldnt make it louder
No, I would not recommend this to a friendJust eh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For having the bose name I thought it would be better. It’s nothing special and I would not use it in the main movie area. This is more for like a kitchen tv or a tv that isn’t used that much
I would recommend this to a friendNot what I expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for some additional sound for my big screen tv, and I was hoping this would put out a good sound. However it was not as loud as I hoped for. Also the fact that it was not wireless makes it limited
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose support
Posted .Hello there. Thank you for the review. The Solo 5 is a great option for improving the sound over your TV's speakers and should put out excellent sound quality with plenty of volume while taking up very little room. However, for even more volume, we have other products such as Solo 15 II which will put out even more bass and volume while still having a small footprint and Bluetooth for connecting wirelessly. If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 800-380-4831. We are available Monday through Friday 9am to 9pm and Saturday 9am to 7pm EST.
not a good value
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Heard such good comments about the bose solo 5. We were not happy at all with this product. We returned this to the store and bpought a different sound bar.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendExpected better sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice sound but not for the price I paid. I had higher expectations for Bose audio sound. Only thing I liked right out of the box was the size of the sound bar. the audio was a disappointment. Over priced

Posted .Hello there. Thank you for taking the time to review the Bose Solo 5 system. We appreciate the feedback. The Solo 5 is designed to dramatically improve sound over your TV's speakers, and you should be getting much better sound than what you have described. We would like to help you with that. Please call our technical support team at 800-380-4831. We are here to help Monday through Friday 9am to 9pm EST.
Sound quality was sub par for a BOSE sound system
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this unit for my wife for Christmas, but upon hooking it to our 4K television we were sadly unimpressed with the sound quality. Basically it sounded like our television speakers. I double checked the connections, Optical, pretty straightforward connections, but could not produce a sound worthy of keeping. We may have had a bad unit out of the box, but we decided to go with a different manufacturer that was similar priced.

||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Barley an improvement over my old tv’s standard speakers. Not as good as standard speakers on my new LG OLED. Fair rating is generous.
