An Unmitigated DISASTER
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The advertised "easy set up" (confirmed by some customers) is true only in SOME cases. Depends on your TV. I bought the Bose Solo 5 and attempted to connect it to my (relatively new) Sony Bravia Digital TV (a very popular model TV) and couldn't. Spent (believe it or not) over four hours trying to troubleshoot the problem with 3 different Bose customer service representatives in Manila before finally giving up and returning the product. Could not get the Solo 5 to sync with my TV...no sound produced. Tried everything, even running back to the store for a new optical cable because one of the product specialists believed it to be a defective cable...which was incorrect. Probably the most frustrating experience of trying to hook up an electronic product in my life. One of their "specialists" suggested I send the product to a service center for repair (though I had purchased it only 4 hours earlier!) All-in-all a terrible experience.

Posted .Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the Solo 5 experience. We are disheartened that you were not able to complete your setup after speaking with several technical support representatives. This is not typical for our support team and we sincerely apologize.
This system is designed to be easy to set up, as you've noted, and it is very important to us to get you enjoying this system as soon as possible. Please email us at [email protected] and include as much as detail as possible and we'll figure this out with you: name, address, make/model of your TV and any other components used in the setup (cable box, DVD, etc.). We look forward to working with you.
Great not having to use CC TV anymore !
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our flat screen which we have had many years got to the point soundtracks were deafening yet words were couldn't be heard. This unit gets 5 stars because has brought back enjoyment of TV when there is something worth watching.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Sound Bar for a Small Room
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar is simple to set up and for the cost, provides great sound. We purchased to use in a small bedroom TV used mainly for video games. The sound quality is crisp and clear at low and high volumes. I would not recommend this for a large room, but it is perfect for those bedroom TVs.
I would recommend this to a friendLove Bose
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love Bose speakers and this doesn't fail to change that opinion. While it is a smaller one, its perfect for a bed room or a small living room when you don't absolutely NEED a surround sound system. It still makes you feel immersed in the movie, song, or game.
I would recommend this to a friendSmall but loud!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this on sale for $199. This is all you need for movies. Voices are clear and sharp. I also bought a bose subwoofer however I always have it low. Try it first before getting a sub. If you feel you need it go from there.

Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my dad. It was easy enough that he could set it up and use it. wish I'd bought one for myself/
I would recommend this to a friendWorks with Xfinity Remote!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our TV has horrible speakers and wanted something to make conversation easier to hear. This soundbar is great and the best part is it works with my xfinity remote so we don't need to worry about juggling multiple remotes.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat sound
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have wanted a Bose system for awhile but pricey. So when this one came out at this price I debated is this one and wondered is this one going to have a good sound. And the answer is, yes it does.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Bass
Not so impressive
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are looking for Bass, don't go for this soundbar. It lacks Bass and I did not find so impressive for its cost. Yamaha 106 is good substitute for this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Not that great
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Bose products. That being said I am pretty disappointed in this product. Maybe I am missing something but I constantly am having connection issues with this sound bar and my New Samsung 4K tv. I typically have to turn off my tv, then the sound bar like 4 times before I can get them to pair. Sometimes I must remove the Bluetooth device first then re pair it. I have used numerous Bluetooth products in the past. The sound quality is okay. I am use to a real nice Triad Surround sound system. I am in home where I can't install my Triad system.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience with the Solo 5 system. If there are connection issues with the television's Bluetooth output, we would suggest trying another Bluetooth device such as a smartphone or tablet to compare the results. If the issue is unique to the television, we'd suggest using a wired connection or contacting Samsung to troubleshoot. If the issue occurs on multiple devices, we'd suggest contacting our product support team to troubleshoot your Solo 5 system with our technical experts. You can reach us at 1-800-379-2073. We are open from Mon. – Fri., 9 AM – 9 PM EST.
