you can connect it not only to your tv but also your iphone , music sounds good, tv wise is pretty good and gaming sounds amazing id say 8/10. But its for sure just meant for a small apartment living room or just inside a bed room. You also can’t hear it as much through walls which is a plus because you can just have it loud without bothering anyone. The fact that it is a Bose sound system with dolby and comes with the mounting kit it makes it very well worth the price. But check your costco because they have a bigger longer surround sound one ( bose ) for a little but more $

We bought this and I have mixed feelings. So far it sounds decent, but the functionality isn’t what I wanted. Everything is controlled by the remote. With small children, this is problematic as the remote grows legs frequently. The sound bar times out when inactive so if you do lose the remote, you end up with a black paperweight (because you can’t turn it on without the remote). If it can be controlled with a phone app I haven’t figured out how yet. There is also no indication of volume level so you don’t know if you’re at 30% output or 90% output. Mostly underwhelmed at this point.

I picked it up on eBay for 99.99 "refurbished" from Bose a few weeks ago, mounted it directly to our Samsung QLED 65 inch TV, Wife kept complaining she couldn't hear the diolog of movies. Which I did agree, anyways it does sound better than the TV speaker and the dialog button does work. I wouldn't be happy if I paid more, it is ok. I can't complain for the price

Thanks for the video. I was reading a forum at Bose in regards to this bar and they kinda confused me. Bose moderators mention that nothing has changed from the Solo 5 except the remote and visual difference (Logo placement). At the same time, they mention "The new Bose Solo Soundbar Series II in fact improves upon the best-selling Solo 5 system. It has improved overall acoustic performance, notably in loudness for video and dialogue mode." How did they improve it if the internals is the same?

Who ever heard of that!! We now have yet another control to mess with as the volume won't just follow the volume setting on the tv..if you let them both play there is a distinct echo...this thing is crap.

I bought this and returned it, There are better sounding soundbars out there for around the same price. Firstly I can not get the bluetooth to function properly with my phone and apparently it is a common problem with this model. Also, it just doesn't sound that great. It didn't do much for enhancing dialogue in the movies we watch and that is one of the main reasons people buy these.

Bose is well known for their excellent use of equalization and sound baffling for their amplified products. They use cheap materials, hence the tiny drivers, but their philosophy is that the paper cones and such are immaterial to the objective of great sound. They have decades of experience and were well ahead of the curve for a long time. They've always had some of the brightest engineers working for them (MIT, etc). The only problem with Bose products is the high chance of product failure because of the use of the cheap parts. And when they break you can't really fix it unless salvaging identical replacement parts from other junked units. At the lower end pricepoint, probably doesn't matter at all though since we routinely toss out e-waste of other objects exceeding the cost of this product.

Seems like they are relying on their previous reputation to sell many of their products. Sadly, they don't live up to it.
