Worse sound bar ever.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its so bad its not loud enough in my motorhome. Thats not what I bought it for. Sucked in my garage also. I had it awhile before I installed it so I'm stuck with it. So disappointed in a bose product
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot good sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as my second sound bar in a week. I have lots of Bose products in my house so expected the best. I am surprised Bose even put their name on it. It too was returned
No, I would not recommend this to a friendVery disappointing sound quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this Bose sound bar based on the sound quality of a portable Bose speaker and past products, but this is not up to par. It’s not even as good as the under $100 Visio sound bar I was hoping to upgrade from.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendFlat poor sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not expected from Bose such flat low quality sound. Your TV will sound better without it. I have returned it. In the store I listen Sony mp300(?) also small foot print with wireless subwoofer- much better 3d sound for same price
No, I would not recommend this to a friendVERY Disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've got a Bose Acousticwave and companion 2 systems, and both ROCK, the Solo 5 was a disappointment, the speakers on the TV was 5X louder and cleaner than the Bose 5, in my opinion, select something else if you want to have loud sound

Max volume not loud enough
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this to use with the TV on my back patio, But even at max volume it’s not enough if there’s any other yard noise. Even the TV volume without it is louder, so I end up not even using the Bose.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendMay be good for a very small room.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very disappointed in this sound bar. Couldn’t hear with it despite how loud it sounded in the store when tested. Wound up buying another sound bar so we could enjoy TV. Bose’s quality has slipped in my opinion

Worked Great--for about 4 months
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want a sound bar that works for at least 6 months (hopefully longer), I suggest selecting another brand. I was in love! But like love, you never know if--or when--it will just stop.

Solo 5
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not impressed with the sound quality when I got it home. It sounded awesome in the store. I'm glad I bought a 2.1 sound bar system instead.

Posted .We're disappointed to read your review. As your comments are atypical, we wish you had called our technical support team before returning as we're sure they could have helped with the connection to provide you with the Bose experience you'd expected.
Not Worth the Money!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of sound is terrible. Not nearly worth what was paid for it. I was so unhappy that I had to return it within a couple days. Quality rivals a bluetooth speaker found at 5 Below. Don't waste your time.

SOUNDBAR
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this open box but the box didn't display missing power & remote. So wasn't able to use it. Please make sure you check everything when purchasing open box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWorst sound bar ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have had many different sounders for multiple tv in our house but this one would not work no matter what we tried or what tv we tried it on.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendToo quiet!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If Superman wanted a speaker, this one would be perfect! I, however, am a mere mortal with no super hearing powers. Had to return this item. You can have it Supes!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendHad to take it back. Still waiting on new one.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system sucked. Tried to take it back the store would not return they had to send it to BOSE then get a call that Bose can not fix it and for Me TO COME PICK UP A NEW ONE. terrible COUSTOMER SERVICE !!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendreturning
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.very poor sound volume. Disappointed is to say the least. For a Bose fan, I will say they have lost it with this one. Retuning to get the Samsung 2.1 system for a better price and by far better sound.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Bose support
Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience with the Solo 5 system. Based on your description of the low volume, we believe there are some troubleshooting steps that can be performed to rectify this. For instance, the source volume (typically the cable/satellite box) would need to be raised to 90% or so of its maximum volume. Before you return the system, we encourage you to speak directly with our technical experts. You won't be disappointed. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM EST.
Rip-off
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly I love Bose but my TV speakers sound the same. The remote control is a brick too and doesn’t pair well with my optimum cable box.
