Bose Solo 15 Series II Soundbase (RRP $649) on sale at Myer for $381.65 with free shipping. Was on sale this week for $449 to match JB HiFi sale ($429), but now has been further reduced by 15%.

Just bought one to upgrade from the original Bose Solo, which was amazing in itself!
The Solo 15 Series II is the latest model introduced last year in October, which includes Bluetooth capabilities, universal remote and enhanced sound over original Solo TV.

EDIT: Now shows as 'Out of Stock' when you press on checkout :(
May still be available in store…

    No HDMI … hmmm

    • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 09:55

      I never understand why people want HDMI? The connection provided allows you to connect to your TV, and that's all you need really. But now there's Bluetooth as well!

      • Busabot on 05/02/2016 - 10:02

        my TV does not have optical output. it has only HDMI :( and standard RCA or something type output

        • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 10:06

          Ohhh I see. Well I think there's a standard RCA input that you can do instead of the optical.

          @lars06:
          yes but they write RCA does not give you the same quality as HDMI and Optical.

          on second thoughts how bad can it really get. my hitachi already has sub mediocre sound.

        • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 10:28

          @Harshbusa: Yeah fair enough. Can't really help you there. Nothing online about it?

          @Harshbusa:

          Complete tosh. There's nothing wrong withe the audio quality on RCA. It's still industry standard in many professional spheres. And there is NO quality loss through a good quality RCA cable. Now, I'd you're talking ability to handle multiple audio channels (i.e more than 2) then yes you'd need optical or HDMI. But the blanket statement RCA isn't as good quality is false. If anything it's a more pure connection with less digital interruption

        • poxy001 on 05/02/2016 - 19:26

          @D4NVT: Eh? An Optical or HDMI connection should offer much better quality audio as it is not susceptible to noise and signal loss you would have with an analog RCA connection. Source : Sound Engineer.

        I know … but I would have thought BOSE would have been all over it. Agree its not essential but having it synch up via HDMI and arc is great.

      • sleepyowl on 05/02/2016 - 16:01

        Hmm tempting @lars06 how is it in terms of communicating to the TV, can you control the volume using your TV remote or can it only be changed through its own remote?

        • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 16:03

          The old model could only be changed with the included remote. I used a Logitech Harmony Universal remote though, and that worked really well.
          But with the new model, there is a universal remote included, so you can use that to control the Bose and your TV.

        • sleepyowl on 05/02/2016 - 16:06

          @lars06: Cheers for the quick reply. I'm jarred from my last terrible soundbar haha!

        • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 16:08

          @ohhidayo: Aha no problem. Yeah I have never tried any other audio brands because I have never had a bad Bose experience.

        HDMI is better quality, it can pass Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio, while optical can't.

        • Busabot on 05/02/2016 - 17:16

          But Bose does not use dts or Dolby true HD they do their own thing anyways :)

        • Huck on 05/02/2016 - 20:33

          @Harshbusa:
          I was talking in general, as I think lars06 was too. HDMI is one of the reasons I went for the Sony HTCT780 in Dec, and I think it's an important point to consider for someone who cares about audio.

  • ShortyX on 05/02/2016 - 10:14

    How does this compare to the CineMate 15? I need a soundbar and I missed out on the Sony HTCT780 for $325 from JB last year - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/227694

    • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 10:18

      I've never seen the Cinemate 15 before. But after a quick search it seems that the Cinemate is more for a cinema experience. But the RRP's are quite close. So if I were you, the Solo seems like a better option at less than half the price. The sound quality difference would not be substantial.

  • Younge on 05/02/2016 - 10:15

    Ahhh… I do not need a soundbar… i do not need a sound bar… Actually… for that price, maybe i do!
    Bose are leagues ahead for sound quality just a shame i can't go and hear this one before i buy it.

    • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 10:19

      I have the original Solo TV and it's amazing. Really great sound that is no comparison to TV speakers. Excited to hear the Solo 15 too as it will be a big improvement on the Solo!

      You probably also own a pair of Dr Dre's beats. The BOSE marketing department loves you.

      The reviews show they are average at best.

        I see your point

        but you got the wrong product review

        Solo & Solo 15 are difference in terms of sound
        They use different speaker setting within the system

      • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 20:22

        The Bose Solo 15 has been said to significantly improve sound quality. And the original Solo is still great quality.

  • Younge on 05/02/2016 - 10:28

    i don't know if my TV has the correct connections…
    I only have two outputs
    Digital audo out - optical
    R-L -Video av out

    Will either of these connect?

    • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 10:30

      I'm pretty sure the optical output is the recommended connection. But you might want to make sure that it's correct for your TV in case I'm incorrect.

    • nayfon on 05/02/2016 - 12:08

    I gave it a try at MYER few weeks ago, and i was very impressed. The bass is strong, sound feels clear, solid and warm. Watching movies at home with this one feels like sitting in the cinema. I was very happy when i got it, even i got another one from YAMAHA.

    • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 12:29

    If i want a 2.0 or 2.1 setup and have space for floor speakers. Would I just be better off with regular speakers or sound bar for under $400?

    • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 12:30

      Personal choice I suppose. I doubt you will get regular speakers as good as these for this price though.

  • hummel on 05/02/2016 - 13:55

      It doesn't connect via Bluetooth.
      You connect it to your TV by an optical audio cable. Bluetooth is so you can connect your phone and play music wirelessly.

  • Wallace666 on 05/02/2016 - 14:11

    Does anyone have an idea how this compares to the the Sony CT 80??? There was a deal here in December: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/224828

    • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 14:18

      No idea, but judging from the RRP being 3x that of the Sony, I would assume this is better

      • poxy001 on 05/02/2016 - 19:52

        BOSE pricing is more an indicator of their marketing cost than the engineering of the product. You cant use cost as a guide here.

        • bigmez on 05/02/2016 - 14:45

          In all seriousness, i Wouldn't bother with this unit at all if you want a wall-mount. It's width/depth is about approx 35cm (could be wrong)?.. It would hang out off the wall by too much. Brings up another question which i don't know, can it be wall-mounted to begin with?

        • pennypincha on 05/02/2016 - 14:45

          @lars06: Okay, I'll admit - looks decent if you have a cabinet beneath your wall-mounted TV. Still though, not convinced that it would look good on a wall-mounted shelf beneath / above your wall mounted TV.

          Wouldn't work in a situation like this, for instance:
          http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2014/12/yamaha-yas…

    • lars06 on 05/02/2016 - 15:05

      I'm not sure exactly for the new model. But from my experience, it's a bit of a conservative guideline. The original Solo TV said up to 40'. I've had a 46' TV on it for more than 3 years and it's completely fine. But do it at your own risk…

      • KentT on 05/02/2016 - 17:23

        Weight won't be a problem if you have a TV from the past few years - they hardly weigh anything anymore.

        The issue is more the size and shape of the stand.
