Bose Solo 5 Soundbar Review. I review the Bose Solo 5 Soundbar. I did listen to the Bose TV Speaker Soundbar, and I thought the Bose Solo 5 Soundbar sounded better. I think the Bose Solo 5 belongs in a bedroom, or a smaller room as it can't reach the sound pressure level of the bigger soundbars. In addition, the base, while good for a bedroom, may not be adequate for a lager room, like a living room.
