I picked this up over the holidays... great soundbar for the size, however I had to return it as I was not aware it will only work with Bose proprietary subwoofers.

The unit itself actually outputs excellent base for its size, but I already had a subwoofer in place from a previous speaker set that I wanted to use. I don't think you'll be disappointed if it's just for a small tv somewhere or even up to a medium-ish sized room / setup.

I found an open box for 130 at Best Buy and hurried over to hear the display first. The voice is clear but all other sounds sound clear but no pop. I canceled my Oder pick up after hearing it.

I got this from Bose for $180 over the holidays, it's fantastic, sounds great, gets very loud, and has surprisingly nice little bass to it. Is there better? Yes. Is there better for the price? I doubt it. Highly recommend.

Its only optical cable and you have to use their remote so no universal. Other than that it's perfect

Wrong, the Bose tv speaker has hdmi arc. It's the new version of the Solo 5 now with center channel tweeter as well for better highs/dialogue

Will this show the numerical volume level on the TV as it is being adjusted?

I bought the Solo Series II from Costco earlier this week and also bought the TV Speaker a couple of days later from BBY to compare it to, as it's supposedly better with the additional tweeter. Both models are on sale now.

Honestly, I like the sound better from the Series II. The bass from it is a bit boomier, which is surprising given that the housing on the TV Speaker is bigger. The tweeter in the TV Speaker makes voices sounds somewhat tinny to me. The TV Speaker may sound better with HDMI (I'm using with the 3.5mm aux), but I don't really need HDMI for my particular use case. I'm putting this underneath a 27" monitor that's hooked up to my laptop with USB C in the kitchen to listen to music or watch the occasional TV show. Both of these fit the bill due to their compact size, but I think I'm gonna stick with the Series II because of the better bass performance.

Be aware if you ever decide to buy something directly from Bose:

They are one of the slowest, worst responders to customer returns you will ever deal with. I have sworn off the brand for life after returning a set of headphones on 12/15 and I am still trying to get my refund processed (on 1/28).

Their customer service chat lines are run from some third world country (you can guess which one), and their reps will make all sorts of promises that they never intend to keep. It's unreal a so called "premium" brand treats their customers so poorly.

You have been warned.

On my LG Oled it does not show the numbers, just a bar with with a plus and minus sign when you change the volume.

We bought one a couple of weeks ago and it's fine for the price. I replaced an older Bose system with a sub which had much bigger sound but got tired of all the cable clutter.

I have this in the bedroom and it's been perfect for that room.

You can directly hook in your Roku TV to the sound bar so you only have to use the Roku remote to operate it instead of two remotes... Really simple and nice feature.
