The Only Difference Between Men and Boys..

Date of Review:  Nov 8, 2001
The Bottom Line: Very pricey, very high quality sound. Costs as much as a used Mercedes, so expect it to last as long as one. It probably will.
Review: About Bose
Before I type another word, let me simply say that in 21 years of owning Bose products, I?ve never had the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with them. As an example, in 1980, I purchased a pair of Bose 901 speakers from the PX while...

BOSE LIFESTYLE 28

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2003
The Bottom Line: Recommend this product without reservation if you can afford it.
Review: I was not going to buy this because of the price and some of the negative feedback but I bought this system from a closeout sale. I got it for $700 less which is the only reason I considered buying this system. I thought $2499 was just to much for...

Date of Review:  Sep 14, 2004
The Bottom Line: With $3000 burning a hole in your pocket, say goodbye to Bose. Grow up, and look into some real speakers.
Review: First off, I should state that I work at a major electronics retail store in the home theater department. Every single day, I try my best to put on a happy face as I show customers the multi-thousand dollar Bose packages available. As far as sales...

B is for Bose

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2008
The Bottom Line: You can shop around for other brands but as a long term Bose user I think it's a deal.
Review: This is written by a dinosaur who made the $1999 purchase in June 2007. The store then had a $200 discounted price (rare for Bose products) three weeks later but they honored the 30 day price guarantee and returned the difference to me. So, my cost...

Wait until the BUGS are worked out.

Date of Review:  Sep 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: Do your research and buy another brand.
Review: I had so many problems with the first receiver out of the box that I took it back. Bose did replace it with no hassle. I then had problems with the remote which they replaced. The second system would turn on in the middle of the night on it's own...

Save your money

Date of Review:  Jun 4, 2009
Review: We bought this until a few years back. So far we have had to send it to Bose twice for service, at our expense. $175 min each time. The unit is not worth the cost. You spend good money for quality and they don't stand behind their stuff with out...

For brand lovers

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2002
The Bottom Line: Novel for situations where aesthetics and compactness take priority over value, however, way too many shortcomings for high price.
Review: Bose is a well oiled marketing machine that has very effectively parlayed its brand name to sell products at "rip off" prices while somehow duping their unsuspecting buyers into thinking they received value for their purchase. No doubt, Bose has...

AMAZING

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2004
The Bottom Line: Highly recommend if it's in your price range, amazing sound quality, versatility, beautiful sound-can't say that enough, looks great, easy set up, adapts sound to your room. I love it!!
Review: I bought the lifestyle 28 (summer 2004) after listening to a couple of other systems at a few places. Always wanted to hear what they were like. Must say up front that I am not a professional or expert on audio equipment, nor do I work for any...

Lifestyle 28 is overpriced and glitchey

Date of Review:  Nov 10, 2002
The Bottom Line: Too pricey for it's feature set and average sound. Many manufacturers offer $1000 all-in-one solutions that sound as good.
Review: I purchased the Lifestyle 28 system after an impressive live demo at an electronics store. On getting the unit home, I found it to be missing one of the two users manuals, and the software driver. After receiving it in the mail from Bose a week...

Best Overpriced System Everywhere!!!

Date of Review:  Mar 6, 2003
The Bottom Line: For $1100 or 1200 dollars you can't buy a finer system. But for $4000.00 you can't buy one that fits into a room and sounds this good.
Review: I was tempted to get a "real" home theater system from Yamaha, but when my wife saw the size of the speakers she freaked out. Due to the fact that our family room is the nicest one in the house, I agreed that big black speakers would be better left...
