Improved sound over the tv's and better than previous less expensive soundbar. At 4 stars as I'd like to have old school controls for treble and bass. Both the Bose and other soundbar mentioned provide a button to enhance the voice and a button to add bass.

Bose Solo Soundbar improves tv sound. I wanted a system with rear base and speakers but my wife would not go for it thinking it would be too loud for our home. I bought this as a compromise. Bose is known for it's reputation of putting out great sound. This soundbar has a small footprint and sits nicely in front of our tv. When my wife wasn't home I cranked it up for the Mandalorian and a Marvel movie and I have to say the sound was really pretty good for the size of this little soundbar. I did not get any distortion at a high volume and the sound filled the room. This soundbar does one major thing that the tv sound did not do and that is you can hear people's voices so much better. It plays beautifully when Spotify is selected on the tv. This may not have as much bass as some systems which I tried in the store. I am enjoying having purchased this even though I wanted more.

This sound bar is supposed to enhance speech from the background noise. We found hardly any difference in the sound with and without the soundbar. The instructions are very skimpy as Bose expects you to download the owner's manual for any additional information. Only one connecting cable (optical) is provided, which we could not use because our 5 year old Sony (flat panel) did not have an optical port. Had to go out and buy a coaxial cable. Also, the sound bar does not have an HDMI port. Not worth the money.

Speaker doesn't work! Even purchased new cord for it, no sound! Will be returning to the store

Easy to set up and connect to Bluetooth. Great sound, and takes up small space.

Great product. Enjoying it.

Works great needed it for a spare room tv, much nicer sound than the speakers in the tv

Great soundbar used outside on the deck.

This sound bar didn't work

Sound is great easy to install and use
