    I really liked the sound. Very easy setup. Really is plug in and play. I really like the Bluetooth feature and enjoy listening to my music from I-pad when not watching TV. However if you want lots of bass this is not for you. Bass was good and adequate for me

    Easy to set up, great sound!! Purchased for my not so tech-savy mom and she loves the universal remote and is so pleased with this product. Also got Guardians of the Galaxy 2 to test out and it was theater quality sound.

    I read the reviews from "experts" and have not encountered any of the problems stated. I set up the unit in the store and walked quite a ways away from it. The focus of the sound was pretty good in store and decided to purchase it. First up, the universal remote was worth the purchase alone. It works with our TV, DirecTV receiver, and DVD player which has eliminated the remote control chaos on the couch. The sound quality is clear and clean. As for the "conversation" feature, it's not night and day. It does boost the voices in the program/dvd movies, but it's not enough to be noteworthy. Overall, it is a worthwhile purchase for our living room and tv/dvd experience.

    I have use a full separate speaker surround system 5.1, by Bose, and I must say the Bose Solo 5 Soundbar is very impressive. For such a small speaker, I get an amazing surround feeling and the bass level is kinda freaking me out because I can't figure out just how they are getting so much bass out of such a small package! Love it!

    Love my Bose I can connect my iPhone to it to play music Via Bluetooth which is great but I primarily use it as a tv sound bar.The bass for me is good but I didn’t buy it for that purpose I wanted my speaker to face me and not use the TV speakers which are behind it making the volume low.The remote is a universal remote so you might be able to program your other devices into it .I was able to program my tv but not my cable box so that was unfortunate.but over all I think the speaker is great .Wish my tv was Bluetooth compatible so maybe I wouldn’t need to use a optical cable but still worth it to me.

    This sound bar was worth every penny! It makes you feel as though you’re in the movie listening to it happen. I’ve actually heard Weslyan are different things that I thought were happening in my home that were coming from the TV because of the clear sound . I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a sound bar

    Amazing sound and perfect for our condo. We did not have room for a large bar and subwoofer but this does the trick. We watched Game of Thrones to test it out and WOW! I highly recommend this and it's at a great price!

    Love Bose products and this speaker lives up to Bose’s Reputation and my expectations. In use for the kids room tv. Perfectly simple speaker that provides beautiful quality sound with enough volume to watch a Disney movie enjoyably but also doesn’t allow the kids to blast music so loud that it disturbes the neighbors.

    Good price for Bose product. I also bought this because of its smaller size. Sounds good and fits better with a smaller TV. I also like that it’s bluetooth so it can be paired with phone or tablet.

    At first, I hesitated buying this product after reading some of the reviews. However, when it comes to sound, I've been buying Bose products for years and never been disappointed. Therefore, I took a chance and I'm so happy I bought this speaker to upgrade the sound on my Vizio TV. Previously, I was having a hard time hearing people talk through the TV's speakers when watching a show or movie. With the Bose soundbar, everything is a lot clear and I'm able to hear everything. I will highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking to upgrade the TV speakers and looking for a soundbar which doesn't take too much space. Bose is the best in sound technology. Awesome sound from little speakers. I love this product.

    This is the perfect solution. Our Flat screen speaker placement made it difficult to hear the TV and enjoy movies. I was expecting a small boost but the Bose soundbar is great. We get the full ambience and experience of sports, movies, and television. I will be looking to buy one of these for each tv we have.

    Setup was super easy, the remote works great, and the sound quality is awesome! We have Samsung tv, and the built in speakers suck! As a Bluetooth speaker, it supplies great sound for background music when the tv is off as well. Yes, it is not a "bangin'" system for throwing raging house parties, nor is it a full "home theatre surround" system, but it is an awesome upgrade over the stock tv speakers. Voices are much more clear with the Bose speaker over the stock speakers as well. If you are looking for a high quality upgrade for your tv room, get this! It is compact, easy to set up, sounds great, and a great value for high quality speaker.

    I always prefer Bose products and purchased this item based on past experience with Bose. I used an optical input direct from the TV which is used in a noisy exercise room that I use for cycle training. The bar does provide louder sound than just the TV audio so it was worth the expense to overcome my noisy environment.

    This small bar fits easily in front of my TV. It gives me great sound from music to speech in movies and programs alike. So easy to set up and made the TV sound like I was in a theater!
