Great product!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For such a long time, I wasn't able to hear a TV conversation, unless I cranked the sound to the max. Bose came up with Sollo 5, which is a little more affordable than the 10 and the 15. I just purchased it, and, I now can enjoy listening and watching this TV of mine. The set-up is 1-2-3, within seconds. Solo 5 is a great alternative to an expensive surround sound and this one works perfectly for me. I always thought that Bose was great, and, it is proven again.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as a gift for my husband mainly because the brand has a good rep. Highly disappointed.

Posted .Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your Solo 5 TV Soundbar, Mike. We're sorry to hear that the soundbar didn't provide the experience you were looking for. The Solo 5 is engineered for smaller rooms like a bedroom or den, and the sound quality is at its best if you disable your television's built-in speakers. This will avoid any possible "echo" sound that may occur when both speakers are active. For the most in-depth assistance in enjoying the soundbar, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at 1-800-367-4008. They are available M-F 9 AM to 9 PM Eastern. Thank you, and have a great day! Jesse - Bose Support

Posted .Hello Scooter, thanks for your review. Please note that there is no separate bass module compatible with the Solo 5 TV Soundbar, as this particular soundbar is intended as a standalone option.

Fits my needs perfectly
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Bose Solo 5 today. It was very easy to set up with only a power cable and digital cable. I could tell right away there was a huge improvement from the TV speakers. The bass is easy to adjust and there is a dialogue button that turns the bass off when it isn't needed. The bass doesn't have the power of a separate sub woofer but living in an apartment I don't need it to shake the walls. The remote is cool. It's about and inch longer than a standard DirecTV remote. It was simple to program and now controls my Sharp TV and DirecTV receiver. It turns both and the soundbar on/off at the same time and controls everything on the DirecTV receiver ( Menu, channel guide, DVR, channel up/down) Pairing the Bose Solo 5 with my blue tooth device was also simple. I put on some IHeart radio and the Bose sound really came through. It was awesome! The only problem I've had is when I disconnected the blue tooth, the sound bar continued searching for a connection and I couldn't get it to return to TV sound. I had to turn it off and back on. I'm sure this is operator error. It looks great and sounds great. Very happy with my purchase!

Posted .Thank you for taking the time to review our Solo 5 Soundbar.
We're sorry to hear that you had an issue with the audio quality of this, and would love it if you gave us the opportunity to make this right for you! It's possible that, depending on your TV, that the TV is recognising the output audio source and is using an internal "Headphone" Volume slider to adjust this, and is therefore limiting the sound output of the Solo soundbar. We would be thankful if you reached out to tech support in your region to let us work on this with you and get this up to the quality that you would recognise from in store!
We look forward to hearing from you!
