We're at the movies

Date of Review:  May 28, 2000
Review: We just recently got the Bose Acoustic Wave Radio at our house. I think it's better than any other radio I've ever heard.

First of all, if you shut the lights out, pop a movie in, and connect the VCR to your radio, you feel like you're...

Not quite worth the money, but still very high quality!

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2000
Review: My wife and I recieved one of these wonderful contraptions from her father for our wedding present and we have enjoyed it ever since. The unit produces high quality sound which does actually sound much better than the average, run-of-the-mill radio...

Against All Odds

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2004
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...

Bose - The Godiva of Music

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is simply the best compact music solution on the market today.
Review: Up until three weeks ago, I was the proud owner of a carefully pieced together component stereo system which cost me more than $3,000 in 1993. Nakamichi tape deck, Bose 901 speakers, the works. It was a beauty and it took up an entire stereo...

Pure and Powerful for its size.

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: The acoustic wave combines lifelike, room filling sound, small size and incredible simplicity to offer the music lover an unforgettable experience.
Review: When the acoustic wave got home it had the job of testing out my Eagles, Hell Freezes Over DVD. I hooked up a set of Monster RCA cables to the audio input and had my dvd sound running through the Acoustic Wave. The sound was incredible, Henley's...

Incredible sound from such a tiny unit.

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you're very finicky about sound and want something easy to operate and very portable, buy it.
Review: The hype is really true; this little light-weight guy can belt out clear wide sound without distortion.

If you buy or listen to the unit and you are standing close the unit, you'll initially be quite disappointed. For whatever reason, the...

Honest Opinion non-biased

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: The best advice I can give is, Buy the System and if you don't like it, take it back.
Review: First of all I never considered buying a Bose product due to the cost untill my wife bought me the system for Christmas. I didn't know what to think at first but since there was a 30 Day return policy I thought what the heck lets give it a try.

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2008
The Bottom Line: Beautiful Status Symbol that plays music AND has a built in radio...Wow.
Review: The Bose Acoustic Wave Music System - Retail $1,100!!

It's essentially a $1,100 plastic box with speakers in it.

I listened to this unit in my home - This unit was not for me.

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2003
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...

Bose Acoustic Wave II ...great sound in a small box

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: Great as a main stereo. Perfect for apartments or condos!
Review: The Bose name carries a lot of consumer clout. The Bose Acoustic Wave II Shelf System is a killer system in a small box.

For anyone wanting concert quality sound, but does not desire a rack of stereo equipment in their living room...the...
