Bose solo series 2 soundbar review Bluetooth#
The first one indicates if the bar is on or off, and the other one is for the Bluetooth connection. It has a straightforward interface with two LEDs below the front metal grille. Controlsīose has ensured a clutter-free, minimalistic experience for the Solo 5 soundbar. We would make a judgment error if we call it premium, but it justifies its below-$200 price tag appropriately. The plastic for the exteriors feels solid, and the added metal grille ensures further protection from any unwanted occurrence. Summing it up, the Bose Solo 5 is a sturdy device. Also present are two holes for wall-mounting, but the positioning is such that they can stifle the subwoofer’s impact if used. On the left, there is a built-in subwoofer.

Like the rest of the bar, its back is plain too, and you get a cutout on the right for the input ports. Also, there are no external accessories, by default, which makes the dimensions more tantalizing.

The Bose Solo 5 stretches 21.7 x 2.6 x 3.2 inches and can be termed ‘compact.’ It is not the iPhone XR compact, but doesn’t hinder the user and sits nicely on the front of your TV. It is all plastic and has metal on the front and sides for extra cushion. It looks bland, which is not a bad thing for a bar, and has an all-black exterior. We have seen several soundbars unnecessarily complicating stuff with a lot of awkward design choices.
