Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Comes at a reasionable price considering the brand's quality
it has great mid and treble reproduction and will perform decently well for dialogue-oriented content like podcasts, audiobooks, and TV shows.
During our tests for this Bose Solo 5 review, we’re pleased to find out that the remote is very intuitive. It’s very straightforward with the buttons all labeled clearly. It won’t take much research to understand, which is how all remotes should be.
The Bose Solo is among the best-looking sound bars available, with a clutter-free pedestal design. The included remote is excellent and dead simple to use. Its sound quality is unambiguously better than a TV's built-in speakers, especially for movies and TV shows.
-
Enjoy crisp dialogue and impressive bass from this stylish, mountable sound bar that's easily controlled with the included Bose remote.
Decent sounding on stereo content, especially for its size

What reviewers didn't like

Louder voice and deeper bass would be nice
It doesn’t get very loud and lacks quite a bit of bass too. It also lacks height channels and Atmos support, which makes it a sub-par option for movies. It also might not be the best option for bass-heavy music genres.
User would need to press a button every use to hear clearer audio
It lacks a front-panel display, so you won't know if its volume level is maxed out or not.
-
Lack of DTS support; poor connectivity options
