Fortunately for Bose, P. T. Barnum's Old Assertion Still Holds True Today

Date of Review:  Nov 7, 2002
The Bottom Line: A mediocre performer for the price, and outclassed by a host of simple-to-configure (and operate) alternatives, including many of the compact home theater systems currently flooding the market.
Review: You remember P. T. Barnum, the famous showman behind the Barnum & Bailey Circus. He once asserted, "There's a sucker born every minute." That Bose can get away with selling their mediocre-at-best Acoustic Wave system for around $1,000 is a testament...

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 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...

Your New Boss is Bose

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: Bose will be the "boss" of all the other audio equipment in your home. Incredible!
Review: Earthquake! Actually, no! It's the incredible bass coming from the Bose Acoustic Wave System.

This is a GREAT system. I SWEAR! The bass is so surprising, coming from the tiny enclosure. It pumps out sound so loud you'll have a heart attack...

Thank God the Bose Acoustic Wave is returnable !!!

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2003
The Bottom Line: Overpriced, lacks room filling sound and has limited capabilities. Buyer Beware ! Bose does accept returns within 30 days . Kudos to Bose for this policy.
Review: I recently purchased this unit online from Bose. I did not see any ads or commercials on this product. I just bought it on a whim because of the 30 day return policy. Once I got this unit out of the box I was shocked to see how cheap the materials...

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...

WOW, I was and still am very impressed by the quality.

Date of Review:  May 3, 2005
Review: I've had my Wave music system with the disc changer for 3 days now and I haven't turned it off. Simply blows my Pioneer system away. Now I can take my music with me to the deck this summer and everyone can enjoy crystal clear music, the way it was...

Great Sound For Jazz Lovers; Maybe Not So Great For Others

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2002
The Bottom Line: Great sound depending on what your ear likes and it's easy to use. The radio is tops though there were few features for a premium price.
Review: Well let's see, where do I start. First, buyers have to contend with the high price of this system. I had a hard time justifying the $1,000 price tag. However, it was worth every penny to my ear.
The system is very easy to set up and I merely...

Bit of a let down

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2002
The Bottom Line: Good in its day - but that was 16 years ago. Better products arriving, but still a high quality system.
Review: I ordered this system after much deliberation. I used information from both this site, and others offering views of the hifi, and the adverts from Bose. Specifically I was intruiged by the 10 interest free payments - making the proposition much...

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: I don't know...if you get one and it works well...it may be worth the cost.
Review: I actually like the system, when it works.

My first problem came with a lightning strike at the office - okay, my problem because I didn't have some type of protector. Box her up, ship her to Bose. Pay a repair fee and there was the...
