Bose's Evil System: The Bad and the Ugly

Date of Review:  Jun 13, 2001
The Bottom Line: Read my 'Verdict'
Review: Today, I was able to see all of Bose's mini-systems. Everyone has been raving about the Bose Acoustic Wave. I saw it at one of those stands. That Bose stand happened to be across from the stoor which was right next to the Sharper Image! So I was...

Date of Review:  Nov 24, 2004
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...

Don't do the CD!

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2000
Review: I purchased the Bose Wave Radio for my husband's anniversary/Christmas gift.(a bit selfish I know! I am enjoying it as much as him!) We discussed the purchase before I ordered it and came to this conclusion. Why pay almost $200 more for the CD...

Good, not great, but what other "Super Boom Box" choice is there?

Date of Review:  Oct 30, 2004
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...

Worth the $799 we paid at their outlet store!

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 1999
Review: We've had our Bose Acoustic Wave since March 1999 and have it hooked up to our television set. The sound quality is much better through the bose. Our living room is 700 square feet, so sound often is distorted with other systems. Not with our Bose...

Bose Acoustic Wave Music System - for Jazz and R&B fans only

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 2003
The Bottom Line: Too little performance for too much money. For that price you can buy a REALLY GOOD surround sound system.
Review: I bought the Bose Acoustic Wave Music System after watching the TV infomercial. I was a bit disappointed. The system performs really well. It is just like they say : no-nonsense system, without any hassle of wiring, connecting or some rocket-science...

Does not even merit a 1 star rating!

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Avoid this overpriced hype and trust your own ears, not the advertisements.
Review: I have to start by saying that I was completely open minded about this product, if not leaning toward the positive before purchasing because BOSE Stereo speakers actually sound very good.
I can say without reservation that I was shocked by the...

Bose Wave Radio

Date of Review:  Feb 23, 2000
Review: When I started getting ready to go off to college I had to decide what to take with me and what to leave behind at home. I had to carefully choose items that wouldn't take up too much space in my crammed dorm room. I knew my Sony receiver and 5 disc...

The AOL of Sound Systems?

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2001
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,...

Bose Acoustic Wave...Bose does it again!

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2001
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...
