My Samsung TV is louder
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice design but wimpy sound. It also requires you to use their remote control for your other devices. We are returning it.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was expecting a better product from Bose. No bass or depth of sound, ok for a small room maybe if you just want better sound than your tv gives.

Bose Is Back - Awesome Product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Recently I purchased Projector and I was looking around for a nice Sound Bar which gives Dialogue Clarity along with exact background instrument sounds, Tried different Brand 5.1 channel , 2.1 channel many different brands..some how i am not satisfied, but in almost all other sound system i commonly noticed one thing...Dialogue clarity. But finally I own after buying this product, This is what I am expecting from sound bar, any sound system gives drums and beats, i say those are very important...but at the same dialogue clarity also very important. Thanks to Bose ! If you are looking for excellent sound system with affordable cost. Then Please close your eyes and buy this. You will enjoy like me. Of course if you are looking for big surround sound system and booms..then this is not the product. Here are the high level details - Box: The Sound bar,Universal remote, optical and coaxial cables, adapter, manuals. Installation: Super Easy. put the plug in the power adapter and the sound bar and cable into device. The universal remote takes a little more time. Especially if you do not understand how it works. But the manual helps. Build quality: The build quality is excellent, the soundbar feels solid through the metal speaker grill and the plastic on top. All connections run deep into the sound bar so when he hangs up connections are still accessible. Bluetooth works great. No issues or drops at all. Very nice. Sound Quality : Profession quality.
I would recommend this to a friend Horrible sound for company like Bose - got a Vizio
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Horrible sound for company like Bose - got a Vizio based on reviews and couldn't be happier. Sound blows away the Solo 5.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDisappointed sound!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bose speaker sound is really low. I gave this to my kids and bought a Sonos system! Sonos is way better!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendFlat sound no bass
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound was flat no bass. Controller has an option for bass but even having set to the max it still sounded flat. Dialogue was very clear but why provide an option for bass when is not par to the dialogue option. Return item after 2 days and bought Polk audio 2.1 with a wireless subwoofer and love it. Bose should stop manufacturing this item or improve it after so many 1 star reviews for a name brand like Bose.

Bose has let me down
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always equated rich, deep sound with the Bose brand. Then I purchased this sound bar. Bye bye Bose - hello Sonos!

Posted .Thank you for trying out the Solo 5 system. We'd like to make a suggestion that has helped many of our customers with a Bose TV sound system. Let's try raising the volume of your cable/satellite box itself to roughly 90 percent. If the output of the box is low, you will not get the full benefits that this system has to offer. We also have product experts available to help take a closer look at your setup. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM EST.
Overpriced
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not perform as advertised, I was disappointed with performance for being a bose product. It was overpriced, remote was difficult to program.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDon't bother if your TV has good basic sound.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth the money. It is only useful if your TV has very poor speaker quality. It is a better idea to buy a true sound bar with the wireless sub woofer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSound not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I loved how small it was but the sound quality was not as good as my system that was $50 cheaper. I return the sound bar

The Bose sound bar is not very good.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Bose sound bar is okay for watching sports. It doesn't make too much difference with movies or regular television shows.

Very little difference
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hook up was easy but expected much better sound. Very little difference from the tv speakers. Disappointed especially for such a high price.

Doesn’t live up to the Bose name
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed. Performance matches low cost. Sound level at high is low and the base is so so. Had to return the speaker because it wouldn’t turn on/off properly causing it to get out of sink with the tv on/off cycle. It boils down to you get what you pay for. Pay the higher price for a better sound bar. You will be much happier.

Poorly made!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this less than two years ago and it no longer works. Within the first six months the remote stopped working. You constantly had to tap it like there was a loose connection. Now it no longer connects to the TV. Save your money and the trouble and avoid this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOK not great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an OK speaker but wasn’t much better than the built-in speaker in my TV so I returned it.
