Great sound bar!

You can app up the dialog and decrease the background noise!! Works great! We love it!!! Alsdo comes right on when we turn on the tv power. Other sound bar we had to turn on after turning on the tv. THis is so much faster and Bose sound is top notch!!

Bose Solo

It's decent all around the sound quality is what you'd expect from Bose. I will say the bass out of this particular speaker is lacking but all in all is sounds good.

Bose Soundbar

This was on sale and fairly inexpensive for a soundbar. The bass on this is pretty good considering the price. We just needed something to improve the sound from the TV speakers and this unit does a good job. Very easy to set up too.

OK, but not great

Its got good sound quality, and the Dialogue mode seems to work OK. My bigest problem is you have to use a separate remote control, and there are no volume numbers so you dont know what the volume is set at. Also there is no HDMI Plug, only the digital plug

I'm happy to hear you like the sound quality and Dialogue Mode of your Solo Soundbar II! The remote control (included) is designed to allow you to adjust volume, audio source, bass and more with a few easy presses. Although it isn't possible to know the exact volume level of the soundbar, the straightforward remote allows you to adjust the volume level easily if you find it's too low or high. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Disappointed with The Bose Soundbar

I have bought and used Bose products for years, i never even think about getting Bose. It is like Apple products, usually more expensive but the quality is never in doubt. I bought this sound bar and it was terrible, the sound quality was about the same of the Samsung TV. I was very surprised and disappointed needless to say I returned it

Hi Jeff, sorry to hear of your poor experience with the Solo Soundbar 2! If you're not happy with the sound quality, I would recommend trying Dialogue Mode. This provides optimal sound quality for e.g. news and talk shows, so turn this setting on and see if that makes a difference. Failing that, our support team will always be happy to take a look: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Great Bose speaker, just not compatible with my TV

I love Bose products, so it disappointed me that this soundbar didn't connect to my TV with a ARC HDMI outlet. A connection with the included optical cable does not allow you to control the power and sound volume of the soundbar and that just doesn't work for me. Great quality and the same Bose excellence, but maybe I just purchased an old model, but ended up returning both.

Hi Mack! I'm sorry to hear you returned your Solo Series II Soundbar. It's true that this soundbar doesn't have an HDMI port - instead, the optical port should be used. Your soundbar can still receive IR commands from other universal remote controls, allowing you to control your TV and soundbar with the same remote. Also, don't forget that you can turn on "Auto-wake", by pressing and holding the Power button on the Bose remote for 5 seconds. This will cause your soundbar to turn on automatically whenever you turn your TV on. I hope this information is useful. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Simple and you pay for what you get.

Bought this for an older TV that had terrible speakers. This is a simple inexpensive fix. It’s just not going to sound like a home theater, because it is not one. It is very suitable for a smaller size room for watching TV, or doing bluetooth tasks like listening to music or audio files. Simple to plug in and hook up and comes on when you switch the tv on, if you want to.

Best Soundbar for the money

This is the best soundbar we’ve had so far. We’ve had a Sony and a Samsung and the Bose beats the overall sound by a mile. It’s small and sleek considering the big sound that comes from it. I have a 75” tv and the soundbar is mounted directly under the tv. The price was so affordable.

Small Bose soundbar provides crisp, clear voice.

Bought this for the advertised dialogue mode. I have trouble understanding actors in TV shows/movies especially female voices. This very moderately priced soundbar was on sale at Sam's so I thought I would give it a try replacing my higher end Yamaha soundbar. Given it's a Bose product, it didn't disappoint. I can now hear 90+% of the dialogue without the need for closed captioning.

Great sound, but no hdmi input

Great sound, but no hdmi input was a killer. I wasn’t paying close enough attention when I bought it. It was the last one on the shelf and the demo unit sounded amazing. I tried to like it, but having to fumble with another remote wasn’t worth it.
