    Bose Solo 5 TV Sound System

    • A lot better than tv speakers - easy set up - my father really enjoys watching movies and this has added a lot to his enjoyment and it’s simple to use and set up
    • I have trouble hearing the TV sometimes, and this sound system really does help when I use the special setting
    • Solo 5 would be good for older folks to enhance their standard TV
    • You will never get true theater sound from a soundbar, but this one in particular is compact, make dialog especially sharp and gives dull, flat TV speakers a punch.
    • I have a Samsung Smart TV, and, while I love the TV picture, the sound quality is not that great
    • Simple to hook up - took all of about 2 minutes, the control is easy to work and works perfectly with a Vizio smart TV (what I have)
    • while the volume, which gets only slightly louder than the volume of the TV without the sound bar, can be set to a comfortable level in a quite room, add running water or activity in the nearby kitchen (or just background noise like talking) and the tv becomes difficult to impossible to hear (same for our teenage daughters)
    • Yes, it's one more thing to turn on (in addition to the TV itself, the cable box, etc.), but the sound level is from a different realm than even my Smart TV provides.
    • This is a very good TV Sound System.
    • it features bluetooth connectivity so that you can pair it to your phone to play music from this (even when the TV is off thanks to a nice wake-on-sound feature) and it has a remote.
    • First, when sitting in front of my TV on the shelf that my TV is on, it blocks the remote sensor for my TV (to turn it off/on, activate the Smart TV mode, etc.).
    • While the sound quality is good, overall it is only about 10-20% better than the flat-panel TV sound (Vizio), EXCEPT that 1
    • The remote works very well with my Vizio Smart TV.
    • the soundbar volume wasn't even as loud as the TV.
    • The sound quality on the Solo 5 is not much better than that of my LED TV
    • Other features include an 1/8" AUX in jack as well as optical audio in which many modern TVs have an output for
    • length is perfect for 32" tv - Perfect Sound
    • No more loud TV, which makes me a bitter neighbor
    • The sound when we are in the room watching tv is great at normal sound it gives you an almost surround sound effect which I love
    • It is a "bar" that sits just below our wall - hung TV.
    • I have a modern 52" Sharp brand TV, it has 7 HDMI ports and many other ports
    • My TV supports the Digital Optical Cable
    • Tech support is aware of this glitch but can't make a work-around for any tv box like cable or Direct TV etc
    • Has great sound - enhances the TV.
    • sounds good, would have ben good if it would have worked my sony tv.
    • Previously, I could have the volume on the television turned up almost to the max, and due to the noise from the treadmill while running on it, I still at times had difficulty hearing the tv
    • That might be true if you have a really cheap TV
    • My TV is louder than this
    • While sound is much better than our LG TV, trying to program your remote to work the TV and Verizon set top box is impossible.
    • We love our big screen HD Smart TV mounted on the wall but have never been happy with all the sound blasting out of the back of the TV.It would bounce off the wall and deafen anyone in the kitchen, but where my wife would sit in the living room she couldn't hear the voices unless it was sky high, and it would blast me out of the room
    • I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an excellent TV soundbar with great full range sound.
    • It's a great improvement to the sound of my flat screen smart TV!
    • It's a great improvement to the sound of my flat screen smart TV!
    • My tv is louder
    • The setup could not be easier and contrary to another review, you do NOT need to purchase anything else to connect the soundbar to a smart tv.
    • It is nice and compact but provides a great improvement in the sound from a flat screen TV
    • Thanks to my silent family and neighbors, I always felt like watching the TV on mute
    • I bought a TCL 55p605 smart TV and while the picture is amazing, I found the sound to be lacking (as per any review you will read
    • These new flat TVs have really lousy sound.
    • My TV is like brand new again, no more feedback and really easy to put on the TV.
    • There are better sound bars available at this price point (my Samsung sounds better, same room, same tv, better/simpler remote).PRO
    • I’m a big movie buff and love watching a good sci-fi movie or tv show and having a lot of good sound to accompany the program on my already great tv
    • but it really enhanced our TV's sound
    • My husband and I aren't getting any younger, and he in particular has had trouble hearing the TV ever since our last tube type TV died.
    • Why can’t the TV sound like the music?!?!The problem also lies in the remote from 2005 the size of a brick
    • we bought it to put on a TV in our workout room because the TV was hard to hear over the noise from the treadmill
    • For this price point, you wouldn't expect to!Rather, this speaker system is a nice, compact, way-better-than-your-TV-speakers sound system that's better suited to watching the late night talk shows and news reports than hearing the cinematic explosions of a blockbuster action flick
    • If you have a smart TV like ours (a newer samsung) you can literally just plug and play
    • I have a Samsung Smart TV, and, while it is a great TV in a lot of ways , the sound quality is not good.. very tinny and weak
    • If you intend to drastically increase the sound quality of your crappy TV speaker (TV speaker quality does vary, but usually even the best sounding are lacking), then I'd consider it.
    • Remote works for every device except accessing smart TV home screen
    • I recently bought a tv but didn't like the volume I really need to hear it this was a great
    • This is one great TV speaker.
    • 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
