Bose Acoustic Wave II 17817391207

Pros: Decent (though not too revolutionary) sound

Cons: price, lack of options, watching Herbie Hancock lose his dignity in the infomercials

The Bottom Line: Not necessary & not the second coming of sound...

Review: In an Epinion of one of their top-of-the-line speakers, somebody compared Bose to AOL in the way they have achieved a name for themselves mostly in the way they market their products, and not in the actual quality of the things they put out. Indeed,...

Pros: Terrific sound, easy to carry and operate

Cons: A little pricey

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...

Pros: compact and excellent sound

Cons: expensive

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...

Pros: Sounds great outdoors. The best "boom-box" you will find. Aux inputs helpful for iPod.

Cons: Sound quality just OK in critical listening. Muddy bass. Very expensive. IR remote vs RF.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for the best "boom-box" you can buy, especially for use outdoors, this is it. If you think this will replace a real stereo, it won't.

Review: For the money, the Wave should sound much better than it does. Don't be fooled by the "replace you entire stereo" hype, unless your stereo really stinks.

However, if you want a portable "boom box" that sounds great, and mini systems and...

Pros: Music is played clearly, top CD sound quality

Cons: Volume is minimal

Review: The Bose Acoustic Wave Radio:
I had been hearing about this particular system on a regular basis listening to Paul Harvey, and "The Rest of the Story", and had been building up high expectations of the product being that he guarantees it can...

Pros: great sound; no distortion even at 100% volume

Cons: a bit expensive, single-CD player

Review: I bought this product because I had heard it was a great sounding, compact unit. After I plugged it in and tried the demo CD, I was really amazed how much bass it had and how well it spread the sound. The demo CD contained nothing but real...

Pros: Extremely practical, extremely rich sound.

Cons: You might need to sell your car.

Review: Logic states that digitally reconstructed sounds will never sound as pure or clear as those which one may hear from an acoustic instrument played live; well forget logic, because the Bose Acoustic Wave Music System clearly does.
I bought mine,...

Pros: Clear concise sound

Cons: None

Review: I purchased the Acoustic Wave Music System for a gift to a family member. After hearing only rave reviews from others and reading many articles with nothing but great opinions of the Acoustic Wave,plus having the privilege of hearing the quality of...

Pros: Excellent Sound Reproduction

Cons: A Bit Pricey

Review: This small but room filling stereo from BOSE is the best purchase I have ever made in audio equipment. It is everything that Paul Harvey claims. The entire frequency range is excellent and it comes with a credit card size remote.

It is...

Pros: good quality sound

Cons: price tag is more than you should pay for this quality...

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...
