I had to convince myself and Zack was already ordered and connected even more quickly.
My first impression was good, I looked different series like The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother and was amazed. The dialogues were good to understand the background noise were highlighted. For the series is ideal.
Live rock concerts listened to, except for the many bass, also very good. But when I made my Jucks and Dollerei Zeppelin Air for comparison, took, I noticed that there simply missing sounds. Not that they were quieter, no they were not there. Well, at rock concerts I could do without, I thought, I want to watch movies yes.
Next, so I wanted to find out what it was like with action films. The Dark Knight, The Avengers, but please Blu-Ray, but please DTS! Nanu? The Bose Solo can not DTS. No Sound.
So there is Dolby Digital. But then the next disappointment: The bass that I never expected without a subwoofer rumble just so throughout the film. Whole scenes are incomprehensible, because the background noise is inflated and drown out the voices. "Do you hear what you've been missing." is the motto on the Bose page. Background noise that this example serve to recognize that play scenes on airplanes, have been deliberately added by the filmmakers quietly, so as not to interfere with the dialogue. However, these are amplified by the Bose Solo now and interfere yet. Hear what you've been missing!
I pulled added neighbors, to be sure. There were comments like "Send 'the thing back, it sounds cruel to" - "400 for a system without DTS in this day and age?" - "Can you please times the bass I turn down getting a headache."
My Conclusion:
For talk shows, event shows, series, Rosamunde Picher, etc. very well. Switcht to the sound but in between times on the TV back and puts his hand on his heart, there is no 400-well.
Action comes on, the Bose Solo comes easily to its limits. Occasionally, even distorted voices (eg Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds) continuously, since parts of the frequency seems to be missing.
In action scenes (helicopter flies past) you miss the "stage" that can usually be found by Bose also from smallest speakers.
In my opinion, the Bose Solo system is totally overrated and overpriced above all. As this many positive reviews come about, I can only explain poorly, except that no one compares or has lodged no NEN action movie or a movie with DTS sound.
I must also say that it would have been smarter Bose to offer the user a treble and bass controls, because there is an infinite number of locations. All covered with a single sound setup, can not even succeed in the ominous Bose laboratory.
Pro:
- Design
- Space requirements
- TV sound "without action"
- + Fix join operation (pensioners friendly?)
Cons:
- Only one Toslinkanschluss
- Thumping bass
- Unintelligible voices in films with background noise
- No DTS - Support
- Poor, not adaptable, Color Shift
So I'll now return the system, which is already offered by Bose in advance. They know the product so ;-)
