    Bose Solo 5 TV Sound System

    • Great for using in apartment, had a hard time hearing the TV since the speakers faced the back of set which required turning up volume to hear dialog.
    • Bought this because watching movies we had a hard time hearing the people talk
    • OK, OK, my wife hates it, finally alone time with our TV.
    • I bought this because I had serious difficulty making out speech on a lot of films and television; it sounded like everybody was whispering half the time
    • My first attempt was a Sony soundbar that I used about year, but the sound was barely better than the built in speakers and the soundbar would weirdly turn my TV off and on at odd times and exhibit other crazy behavior.
    • I am having a hard time giving this 5 stars
    • when I got this little Bose from there website I was just blown away at how crisp the words are and overall the sound, we spend a lot more time in the kitchen during the week now
    • but I have had a very difficult time programming it for our Sony Bravia tv -- more than likely my fault -
    • I am having a very hard time writing this review because the Bose sound bar is perfect for what it is, but I'm not sure that a sound bar is what I wanted to buy
    • You can always just press the dialogue button a second time to toggle back to the regular sound settings if you prefer.
    • Everyone had a hard time understand the words of a movie.
    • This time was a miss.
    • Have to set clarity each time you use it.
    • I had a hard time understanding the words through the TV speakers
    • n’t get it to turn on & the buttons don’t work lots of the time on the remote.
    • n’t rival any true surround sound systems, but it's really in the same market either
