Bose Wave Music System - Little System, Big Sound

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2009
The Bottom Line: The Bose Wave Music System - Unbelievable sound, Contemporary look, Small footprint but expensive. Audiophiles should like it but not as their only home sound system.
Review: I had been eyeing the Bose Wave Music System for years but at a cost of $499.00 I could never justify the cost.  After several disappointing experiences with stereo systems over the past twenty plus years, we just wanted a nice sounding music system...

Good sound, small size great styling

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2007
The Bottom Line: I recommend this because of good sound, excellent construction, small size and beautiful styling.
Review: Don't believe the marketing hype. This unit will not be as good as a component system costing far more. That said I am a musician and audiophile so I know good sound. The price isn't that bad when you consider that the original unit cost the same 15...

A premium $ystem at a premium price

Date of Review:  Jan 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: A high-priced but high performance system that does what it's told.
Review: I will admit it. I was suckered in to the home shopping network trap. Watching ShopNBC one night, I came across the new Bose Wave Music System. I was glued to the television for about an hour, after some intriguing demonstrations and countless...

CAN YOU SAY RIP OFF?

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: Do not waste your money on this. It has OK sound, but the cost makes it a below average purchase. Your paying for the expensive TV ads. Buy something else.
Review: As a former musician and long time audio buff, recent developments had me exploring the purchase of the BOSE WAVE MUSIC SYSTEM.

Recently, I decided to sell my audio system. We are talking about 15,000 worth of stereo equipment here. I only...

Bose: it's good but it's not magic, which fools rush to expect.

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: For the money and for its size, Bose is a bargain. It's got many useful features and delivers really good (not spectacularly magic) sound.
Review: In fine, the Bose Wave music system is a little wonder.

Reading reviews here and there, it's clear that people who don't like this system expect things it wasn't meant to do. Some complain that it doesn't do what a multi-thousand dollar...

Bose Wave Radio: The best clock radio money can buy.

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: The best clock radio money can buy.
Review: When I first got the Bose Wave Radio many years ago I was totally amazed at the quality of the sound. The Bose Wave Radio really did sound like a larger radio. How large? About a large boom box, but not a home stereo system.

Why I got it...

There is no treble-bass control !

Date of Review:  Feb 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: if you adjust the "tone" controls on your radio or CD player, beware this item, which has no such controls. Otherwise, if you have the money, go for it!
Review: I just wrote the following letter to Bose:

Gentlepersons:

I have wanted a Bose wave radio for a long time. It always sounds wonderful in the store and I finally bit the bullet for the $500 and bought one recently. It looks great...

Bose Wave music system - Small space, Big sound

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you can afford it get it.
Review: I am enjoying the great sound and it was so easy to hook it up to my TV. My TV is in an entertainment center and the sound was poor, now when I play my TV I can switch to Aux on the Bose and enjoy great sound. I was reluctant to spend so much money...

Bose blunder

Date of Review:  Apr 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend this product. Way over priced and functionality has gone down hill.
Review: I originally had a Bose wave radio/CD player (the old model) and was quite impressed at first with the sound it produced. I always had to wonder why they call it a radio rather than a stereo. Radio sounds so cheap but I pay a hefty price. At any...

WISH I GOT IT YEARS AGO

Date of Review:  Feb 18, 2008
The Bottom Line: I LOVE MINE AND RECOMMEND THIS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO TOO BIG STEREOS THAT I'VE NEVER FOUND SUPERIOR
Review: Mine black Bose was a Christmas present in 2006 and I love it. I had wanted one for some time and wasn't going to treat myself, so my sweetie drove to the Bose outlet which he thought was the place to purchase it. It could have more easily been...
