Bose Solo 5 review

Comparing Bose Solo 5 vs VIZIO SB3821-C6 what pleased me the most is voice intelligibility. You know, sometimes you rent a movie on iTunes, and it is so crookedly prepared that the music clogs up the dialogs, you start to make it louder, but it only gets in the way. I note that in a number of other inexpensive devices with speech reproduction, everything is not very cool, like a lot of bass, noise, din, but in fact it’s a mess. There is no such thing. I really like the sound - it doesn't separate the music all that well but it's only a couple feet long so I didn't expect it to do so - the bass is good, very clear and distinct. There are 2.0 built-in channels. To add, this playbar has the power output of 100W. Bose Solo 5

VIZIO SB3821-C6 pros & cons

Pros

  • So far, no audio sync issues with any sources or streaming apps
  • Syncing took about 30 seconds from my iPhone and Spotify was up and running and sounding VERY full a spacious

Cons

  • The Bluetooth cracked a few times

Bose Solo 5 pros & cons

Pros

  • If you want just one piece of gear for sound- this is it and is better than the TV. Small unit does fill the room
  • Clear voice feature good (but not better than my tv or other soundbars)
  • Overall adequate sound enhancement for BR like rooms but not exceptional

Cons

  • Bose bass is good but my ears tell me their technology has been passed by other makers
