    Great speaker! Connected speaker to our TV in the master bedroom. Sound is great and speaker is used along with a wireless headset. You can now hear most of the words clearly (no longer a low bass sound or muffled sound).

    Love this, but couldn't use the remote with TV

    We've had this for 1 1/2 years already, using it with a TV in the bedroom. Works great, and we love it, but the one thing that's an issue is that the remote won't work the Panasonic TV we're using. I can't get any of the codes for it to operate the TV. Not a big issue, as it works well to control the soundbar with our Dish remote, but I was trying it the other way around as we get ready to cut the cord and drop Dish. Sounds great otherwise, and we really like the 'Conversation mode' which makes the dialogue somewhat easier to understand. I've also used the Bluetooth connection to listen to music or podcasts on my phone, and that works great as well.

    This is the first sound bar I’ve purchased for a tv. Adds quality sound just like you are sitting in a movie theater. It also syncs with my phone and I can play my music through the sound bar. A really nice feature.

    Clarity Bose is known for. Soundbar can be heard cleary throughout our 2bd apt. Bass so so but i love bass. Bluetooth could be better, have to put phone close to soundbar to reduce Bluetooth static. Other than that darn good product.

    After listening to the Bose Solo 5 at my local best buy store I purchased two as gifts. Sound is crisp, clear, and makes a nice upgrade from the standard tv speakers. A little pricey, but was on sale, so I saved about 15%.

    Bought this for better sound for a new 50" 4K television. I wasn't expecting much because of its small size, but was very impressed after connecting it. You can hear voices much clearer & there's actually a little bass during action scenes. I would've liked it if Best Buy had a display model to sample, but I live close enough to a store to return if I didn't like it.

    I was looking for a medium size sound bar, a built in sub woffer, with known good sound. Bose is always a go to for me and the sound bar proved to work well for my needs. The Bose sound bar has definitely made an improvement for the audio from the TV!

    Extremely easy to set up, low profile is below the tv screen level on our cabinet, and of course the sound is awesome! We now have all Bose only products in our house. Very happy. The spoken word is easy to distinguish from background sounds.

    Easy setup. I installed this system on a Samsung Smart TV. It works flawlessly. You can use it wirelessly or wired. I preferred wired so as to save my bluetooth connection for other devices. The sound is great and clear.

    I did not want to spend a lot of money to improve my TVs sound. So I bought the Bose Solo 5 TV soundbar and have not been disappointed. It comes with a universal remote which is very easy to program. I especially like that I can set the bass level.

    LOVE the sound from this product. Have only used it for a few days but am really enjoying the quality of sound. Also, it is a shorter unit than some sound bars and thus fits in the area we needed to put it more easily. Seems to be a great product.

    I have bad tinnitus and some hearing loss but I love the PBS and BBC shows. The dialog feature is just what I needed. It also is a reasonable size to sit in front of my TV. My cable has music channels and it will improve them too.

    It was easy to set up and match to my TV. It's not that easy to operate though. It does take a little bit of getting used to and I'm still trying to find tune the sound. For the money, you can't beat this deal.
