Our verdict

A simple one-box upgrade over flat TV speakers for a bedroom or small living room. It has no separate subwoofer or surround speakers, so movie bass and effects stay modest.

Overview

Bedrooms and small living rooms with a flat TV suit the Bose Solo TV, a single speaker that rests under the screen and plays clearer dialogue and music. Speaker array technology and DSP spread sound across the room.

One cable and one plug turn thin TV sound into fuller, clearer audio with almost no setup. It is a single cabinet, so there is no deep subwoofer bass or rear surround.

Who it's for

Viewers who simply want TV dialogue and music to sound fuller get an easy fix. People building a cinema setup need a multi-speaker system.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • One cable to the TV
  • Optical and analog cables included
  • Wide, even sound
  • No extra equipment needed
Cons
  • No separate subwoofer
  • No surround speakers
  • Remote has only basic controls
  • Large footprint under the TV

Performance notes

Sound spread comes from the speaker array, which aims drivers to fill the room rather than one seat. DSP balances effects, music and dialogue. Bass is limited to what the single cabinet can produce.
