Bose Solo 5 review

While testing two flagships Bose Solo 5 vs Yamaha YAS-108, I was pleased that a one-piece speaker system will add brightness to the sound of your TV. There is dialog improvement mode for speech highlighting. Built-in Bluetooth for wirelessly listening to music from your mobile devices. There is one cable for connecting to a TV and a universal remote control to control your TV, frequency balance, and other sources connected to the TV. There are 2.0 built-in channels. To add, this playbar has the power output of 100W. Bose Solo 5

Bose Solo 5 pros & cons

Pros

  • Solo 5 best for small rooms/less than 50" TV's
  • Adequate sound for the price

Cons

  • Remote massive and overkill in buttons most will never use. Massive size, does not light up until pressed so one fumbles in the dark

Yamaha YAS-108 pros & cons

Pros

  • The bass is surprisingly powerful for it's size
  • 3D Surround is probably something I'll keep on till this soundbar dies
  • Bass extension takes it to another level

Cons

  • DTS Virtual:X is horrible. It's supposed to simulate sound coming from the ceiling. You'll know when it's on when you see the surround LED blue
