If you love watching movies but loathe your TV’s less-than-stellar sound quality, we found a deal that will be music to your ears. Right now, the Bose Solo 5 Television Sound System—a small, but powerful wireless soundbar engineered to enhance on-screen dialogue—is going for just $199 at Amazon.

And if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

Satisfied Amazon shoppers are coming out in droves to praise the Bose Solo 5 soundbar for transforming their home-theater experiences. In fact, it’s so popular that it has earned a flawless five-star rating from an impressive 9,400 reviewers. “The improvement in sound from the TV speakers is remarkable—definitely Bose quality in a small package,” one fan wrote.

So what makes this slim, all-in-one sound system so dynamic? First of all, it’s by Bose—a name synonymous with quality, longevity, and timeless design. The brand was founded by an MIT professor of electrical engineering on a quest for better sound—and its state-of-the-art technology is now utilized in places like the Sistine Chapel and the Japan National Theater.

Bose is also the brand of choice in countless homes. This soundbar not only beats your TV’s built-in speakers by a long shot, but it’s also a cord-free, space-saving alternative to a multi-component sound system. The slim unit sits inconspicuously under your TV or on a media stand while broadcasting your favorite shows, films, and podcasts in crystal clear detail—thanks to its unique, bass-enhancing dialogue mode.

“If you’re looking for great sound and you don’t need something to shake the walls, this is what you want. I’ve tried it with movies, tv shows, ball games,” a pleased shopper explained. “The sound is clear, and you hear everything you should. I’m hearing dialogue in the background of movies I’ve seen countless times that I had never heard before. You’ll never go back to tv speakers again.”

This Bose powerhouse soundbar is a no-brainer for music lovers, too. One reviewer reported, “I also use this as a speaker to play music during house parties. It is easily loud enough for any type of music. This is my new go-to for playing music around the house or out on the patio.”

The Bose Solo 5 TV Sound System is a breeze to set up and use, too—even for tech novices. Prepare to be blown away!
