Bose Acoustic Wave II 17817391207

Pros: neat looks,somewhat portable for a stereo system,the travel pack with battery might impress some friends...

Cons: Hate (1grandworth) to say it, but the sound kinda sucks, especially the anemic bass

The Bottom Line: Look elsewhere, don't get duped by bose advertising and showmanship

Review: I was searching for a sound system for my 'minimalist' bedroom to play my ipod on random. I looked at some desktop speakers (cambridge) and other stuff but decided to go to the bose store and picked up the bose acoustic wave, having longed for it a...

Pros: Sounds good for its size. Very stylish

Cons: Does not live up to expectations. Poor value for the consumer.

The Bottom Line: Definitetly not for all listeners. I do not feel that it sounds as grand as Bose claims.

Review: I saw an infomercial for this product that offered a "no-hassle" 30-day trial. I figured that this would be the best way to audition the unit as I was hoping to setup a listening area in another room of my residence. I have had trivial experiences...

Pros: Extraordinary Sound Quality

Cons: Pretty expensive

Review: I recently bought a 2000 Nissan Pathfinder and as a premium I was given a Bose Wave Music System. I have never seen such a powerful and clear output from such a small self contained system. It is lightweight and portable with the accessory carrying...

Pros: Looks nice

Cons: Incredibly poor performance for the price

The Bottom Line: A mediocre performer for the price, and outclassed by a host of simple-to-configure (and operate) alternatives, including many of the compact home theater systems currently flooding the market.

Review: You remember P. T. Barnum, the famous showman behind the Barnum & Bailey Circus. He once asserted, "There's a sucker born every minute." That Bose can get away with selling their mediocre-at-best Acoustic Wave system for around $1,000 is a testament...

Pros: Sound, size, built in CD player

Cons: PRICE!!!, design, display, remote, heavy, controls, features

The Bottom Line: Even though the sound is acceptable, nothing justifies the premium price for this system.

Review: After using the basic Bose Wave Radio for over a year, I had become strongly irritated by the arrogance of Bose, which in my opinion are nothing more than a scam to rid people of their hard earned money. I do not own this system, but have used it...

Pros: Excellent system, pleasing to the eye, nice topic of discussion!

Cons: Expensive!

The Bottom Line: I recommend the radio to any one who values great sound, excellent quality, and good taste!

Review: Ok, I might sound a tad bit bias when it comes to Bose products! Just because I own the Wave CD clock radio, 901, and 301 speakers respectively, and now the Acoustic Wave Radio doesn't make me a bad guy does it?

All kidding aside, I think...

Pros: Very portable, connectable to other things, great bass, really loud

Cons: none!

The Bottom Line: Bose will be the "boss" of all the other audio equipment in your home. Incredible!

Review: Earthquake! Actually, no! It's the incredible bass coming from the Bose Acoustic Wave System.

This is a GREAT system. I SWEAR! The bass is so surprising, coming from the tiny enclosure. It pumps out sound so loud you'll have a heart attack...
