After the easy connection and turning the unit on (and turning my TV speakers off), the solo tv sound system made my TV sound so realistic it literally brought me out of my chair! From the first moment the solo was turned on, I was immersed in music (classical DirectTV channel) to the point I could distinguish between violins and violas (not easy when listening on regular TV speakers). The highs were crisp and the bass was not overpowering so as to vibrate the entire room (and distort the sound). Everything was crisp, vibrant, full-toned, well-balanced, and a pleasure to listen to! TV shows were even better! Dialog was clearer than with the regular TV speakers, and the system added a real depth to the TV watching experience. DEFINITELY worth the price! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! I kept switching between the TV speakers and the solo to get a comparison, and there is NO comparison! The Solo is an excellent system!
As a consumer, I wanted a home theater system, but did not want the high expense and all the extra boxes for the extra speakers all over the room. Nor did I want the wires or the wireless setup. When I set up the solo it was only 2 connections: to the electricity and to the television. Boom, done, finis. It can't get any easlier or simpler than that! The price was just right, and compared to other systems listed at much higher prices, the sound was either equal to or surpassed what I had heard before from those other systems (which, obviously, I did not purchase).
I have owned other Bose products over the years (Bose Wave, Bose iPod Travel Speaker, Bose home stereo speakers), and the quality is ALWAYS top-notch! Same for their Customer Service. The Solo is a fine addition to an already great product line-up by Bose. They really know sound quality! Congratulations Bose! You have a real winner with this sound system!
GET THIS SYSTEM. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! For me, it was love at first sound!My first impressions were that Bose took the time and effort into packaging the system (something which I've only really seen with Apple products to date personally). The product packaging securely kept the device from getting hurt during the shipping process and made it exciting to get the system out and setup for the television. The instructions even helped me understand something that I really should have figured out a long time ago -- the things at the end of optical cable are just caps that you're supposed to remove. As someone who never used optical cables previously reading through the instructions made things a little easier for me (not used to removing caps from cables).
In terms of the sound I'm shocked by the difference between it and my tv speakers. To see what sort of difference actually existed I tested muting my television speakers and the Bose Solo TV sound system one by one to compare it... it really doesn't compare. It just feels alive while my television speakers just kind of deliver sound... I'm not a guy audio guy so I won't be able to give a good idea of why it's great I just know it is.
The controller that comes with the system is sufficient although kind of tiny and I imagine it'll get lost sometime in the next few months. It only has a few buttons, however, because the system isn't that complex to control so I imagine that's very intentional. Either way the system was really easy to get into my universal remote so I no longer even need the little thing but I can imagine people who lack a universal remote may be annoyed at home many controllers they'll have after this (cable, tv, bluray, bose) but that's not really Bose's fault.
