Decent Sound for a Clock Radio

byjdek Mar 5, 2004
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Nice size, clock keeps good time
Cons Hugely overpriced, mediocre sound
Recommended it? No

Was given a Bose CD/Radio for Christmas. It has adequate sound, nothing more. Voice broadcasts are mediocre, an individual instrument such as a piano sounds piercing but OK. A big band or a symphony are more than it can handle. When I discovered how much it cost, I was dumbfounded. The thing... Read full review »

Stereo System for Your Bedroom

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Many nice and useful features, Bose sound.
Cons Would be nicer if cheaper.
Recommended it? Yes

When I think of an alarm clock, $20 comes to my mind as the limit. When radio capability is added? $100. CD capability? OK, maybe, $250.

Bose Wave CD/Radio costs $500! Is it worth the money? Yes, if you get to use it often enough, like every morning to get up and listen to radio or CD... Read full review »

Pros Compact, RCA connectors, Full rich tonal sounds, Alarm clock,
Cons I don't like the design. It looks like a cheap radio.
Recommended it? Yes

I haven't bought a stereo system in 15 years, so I decided it was time to get another stereo. I wanted a stereo that was small enough to be place on my dresser without taking too much space. I also wanted a stereo that I could play in the living room when I entertain without having a lot of wires... Read full review »

Decent but overrated

Pros Good for those w/limited space. Easy to operate. Men won't have to read the manual!
Cons Overpriced. Tonal quality won't seem flat to those with a critical ear. Cheesy...
Recommended it? Yes

I got the Bose Wave Radio w/CD free through a contest at work, so the price was right for me.

To give you some background, I've owned some high-end audio equipment such as Perreaux, Threshold, and Paradigm. I like to believe that I have a very critical ear.

I think that the Bose... Read full review »

A PRIME EXAMPLE OF HYPE OVER SUBSTANCE

byshutterbug_1 Feb 5, 2004
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros You can brag about the $500 you spent on a plastic radio.
Cons You can brag about the $500 you spent on a plastic radio.
Recommended it? No

The marketing folks at Bose astutely learned some time ago that Hype over substance prevails. This was a lesson Sony learned the hard way when they failed to promote the then vastly superior Betamax format. JVC set the way for hucksters in all flavors. This plastic megaphone like radio delivers... Read full review »

Raw, pure sounding radio

2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great, balanced sound that requires no alteration for any style of music.
Cons If people want gizmos they should buy a cheap quality hi-fi.
Recommended it? Yes

This is the perfect system for real music seekers. The sound is perfectly balanced and fills the room. It even worked when I took it to my school hall; it still filled the room even though it was tiny and the hall was huge. Wherever you are in the room the volume is the same and the quality is...

Pros Sound, sound, and sound!Pedestal is also a nice feature.
Cons Price, price, price!
Recommended it? Yes

Skepticism........

The one word that the majority of us would think is skepticism. Of course, we see the ads. Not really collecting the valuable information that is said. You think that the old stereo w/ clock in your living room or bedroom serves it's purpose. You continually contemplate... Read full review »

Pros Sound, Operation, Look
Cons Remote, Price (Radio/Attachments), Features
Recommended it? Yes

I would buy it again. I like many reviewers have debated for years about releasing the significant funds for a Wave radio. Is it truly worth it? I for one say yes. After reading an endless number of reviews my wife and I bought one in the hope that we could avoid a large sound system in our small... Read full review »
