    I wanted to replace the non Samsung bar I had with a sound bar that was fully compatible with my Samsung tv. This bar was easy to set up and mate with my tv and provides very good sound.

    These are a great set of speakers for someone looking for compact plug and play speakers. I do wish it could also be powered by a receiver though, but I can't complain they sound great

    I have a 75 inch TV. I think it came with one inch speakers. I would turn them up loud but still the sound was muffled, especially the dialogue. I finally decided to spend the $250 for the Bose sound bar and it was the best money I ever spent, as far as hearing TV is concerned. It even has a dialogue button that clears up the speech even further. It's a shame that what I spent on the TV didn't include better speakers, but the Bose was the solution. Whether you're hard of hearing or not, you'll enjoy a more rich and clear sound.

    Bose can never be disappointing. For the size of the bar it has an amazing sound quality and all the ways possible to hook up with electronic device.

    I gave this five stars because Bose builds high quality products that I love. I had to return this unit though because it was not compatible with my TV. The Bluetooth sounded great though!

    I bought this because the dialog on our TV was always too low. This soundbar solved our problem. It was very easy to install and setup as well.

    This is not the speaker you want if you want to blow your walls off and rattle the floors for movies and get surround sound feeling, but it is plenty loud enough to enjoy and get the feeling that you are in fact watching a movie. The main reason i did get this Bose was for the clarity of the dialogue.It has a special dialogue button which reduces background noise and emphasizes the voices so you can actually hear what people are saying. 1 word to the wise, make sure you hook it up from the cable box to the speaker, not the tv to the speaker. For some reason it makes an incredible difference, especially the loudness and deepness of the sound.

    Probably could hear the unit 5 miles away if the volume was turned on high. Great sound definition even with the actors who seem to want to mumble their lines.

    The Bose Solo 5 was very easy to set up and it sounds really good but it clearly is not what I expected in a small package from Bose. Bose is legendary for putting amazing sound in small packages but, overall, this soundbar dissapoints.
