The book also shows you how to change the bass as well

It is an amazing sound for it's size, especially the bass which is adjustable - the 3 different input option are very helpful

Like some have posted the bass is not that great, but so much better than the t.v. that I can't complain.

In short, it allowed me to do virtual surround, remove some of the harsh mid-bass, and enhance some of the higher frequencies.

No bass, sounds tinny and cheap

Bass really is lacking and the fact that this is a soundbar is no excuse.

Decent bass considering the size of the unit

The only problem I have is that the Bose and TV are in the bedroom, and the bass is very dominate on this speaker, so if I forget to turn the bass down, my husband and my dog let me know.

The bass is particularly impressive since the system lacks a discrete subwoofer.

A tip to people just beginning with the solo 5: make sure you adjust the bass how you like it, as printed in the manual

Brings out the voice with the dialogue option, but I think it could use a little stronger bass.

The bass is a joke and the loudness takes about 10 seconds to go up and down .

I also love that I no longer need a subwoofer for great bass notes.

Bass is clear at low volumes also

The bass is ok, but I would have liked a more deep toned output and there is no maximum indication on the soundbar for the bass, nevertheless the bass is decent enough.

it's fairly small but still has great bass and vioce option makes the dialogue clear on the movies i love.

- the bass is good, very clear and distinct.

It has just enough bass and you can hear the dialogue

On the downside, even with the bass boost, it just doesn't have enough bass.

Has been very good to my family with superb sound clarity and decent bass in such a small package

For a fairly small unit the bass is very good.

Just adds a little better sound and bass.

The bass is particularly impressive since the system lacks a discrete subwoofer.

Smaller then my Vizio bar and is A lot more Bass love IT.

if your hard of hearing, in this mode it lowers the bass and increases the highs and mids

The deeper bass tones (less some of the mid-bass) sound fine to me and are actually impressive at low to mid volumes.

The one complaint I have is a little bit of weak bass, but all sound bars I've demoed at stores have that same problem.

The bass is far better than expected- had to turn it down a notch.

Great bass, but it is necessary to reset the volume every time it is turned on and off

Not enough bass

Clear with good bass

Very poor bass quality.

I know it has no sub-woofer, but I have heard sound bars in this price range with much better bass that also had no sub-woofer.

Excellent bass

Given the size, I was not expecting it to be boomy, but I was actually unexpectedly delighted that there indeed was adequate bass.

Perfect bass

The bass gives me chills

I even think that the bass is pretty good

compact speaker,exellent all around television sound,good bass!

At the moment if I want to hear dialog I am left with the choice between the Zvox which has enough bass (maybe too much) but sounds oddly artificial or the Bose which sounds more natural but which lacks bass.

Bass sucks

If you desire room shaking surround and booming bass, this isn’t the solution

The voices are easily recognized and bass is impressive for such a tiny soundbar

Sound is ok, bass is poor.

It has good bass but not overpowering the spoken words or the sound effects in whatever we are watching

The volume enhancement comes from simply lowering the bass when deployed and the bass is weak as is so it led to overall mediocre sound

The normal setting is fine for movies, but when I want to hear dialog, all that bass is annoying, and I just want to have to set it once.

At the moment if I want to hear dialog I am left with the choice between the Zvox which has enough bass (maybe too much) but sounds oddly artificial or the Bose which sounds more natural but which lacks bass.

The Solo 5 has too much bass and is not adjustable, there is a voice button that is better for news, movies and most tv watching that makes vocals better but bass is still too loud, even uncomfortable at times

And dialog is as clear as with the Zvox.

I have a Samsung 3D 4K television that I recently purchased, but like most all televisions, the speakers are on the back and the sound quality is not as sharp as it should be for a television in this price range.
