    Bought this to go with new 65 in smart tv. Not too big to cover the eye on tv remote. Only sad part is that I am unable to use the remote with my Phillip's 65 in Smart TV. Phillip's say it wont work and it doesn't. The quality of the sound is great and out ways the use of the remote

    Like the smaller bar, great sound, have used blue tooth for phone calls, plugged into headphone jack on older cd/record player, good sound. Only drawback is that to get higher volume, have to adjust volume on source device. Otherwise great sound at great price...got it on sale and rewards coupon.

    We went to Best Buy four times to compare different sound bars. We needed it for our hard of hearing father. It was by far the best voice quality and now, after nearly 1.5 months, our hard of hearing dad is enjoying television and quality sound like it was a brand new thing! Great product. Great price.

    I believe that Bose has the best sound quilting out there . Like the saying goes “you get what you pay for” . I have purchased other Bose products before and they last forever . I still haven’t had any issues with my much older Bose products . They are build to last

    I wanted something simple and compact that would supply quality sound particularly when it comes to hearing voices. I don't want big base or surround sound...I want to understand what people are saying. This product fits my requirements perfectly at a reasonable price. Bose consistently provides quality products both in my home and autos.

    I'm a big fan of Bose products and have been for a while so I was excited to get this sound bar but overall have been disappointed with it. It is super easy to set up and the sound is good for the size of the bar but it will only sync up with my 4K smart TV half the time I use it. The other half the sound is off sync so it doesn't match what we are watching. Some times the sound will be on for the start of a show and then there is a glitch and it's off again. I have turned everything off and reset all the devices multiple times but it's always the same hit and miss issue. The other night I had to turn it off completely and just use the TV for sound. From what I was reading in other reviews this sounds like a common issue which is a shame. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to returning items so I still have it but overall wouldn't recommend it.

      Hi jjhi2u,

      Thanks for taking the time today to review your Solo 5 Soundbar. I am very sorry to hear that you have had this experience and would highly recommend checking the TV to see if it has any kind of Audio Sync features to correct this. If you are connected to the TV directly and using an external source I would also recommend that you connect the source directly.

      If the issue still perists then please do reach out to us via the contact us page on our website so we can look into this further for you.

      Kind Regards,
      Hector B - Bose Customer Support bose

    This speaker fills the room with a good amount of sound and bass. Much, much better than the built-in TV speakers. This speaker will not replace a full surround sound system, but for a single speaker and the price it is a very good value. My only problem was that I could not control it with the TV remote.

    Bose did not disappoint when they made this this speaker. It provides excellent surround sound simulation for our Samsung 32" tv. Also, the extra plus is the Bluetooth connections which paired easily with our phones to play music beautifully. Highly recommended.

    We bought this sound bar because of it's length and that it was a Bose. The Samsung sound bar was too long for our TV stand, this Bose was a great fit. Sound quality is excellent. The sound from our new TV kept fluctuating and we'd have to continually raise / lower the volume to hear conversations. Now the sound is consistent.
