What Four Grand Won't Buy You

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2009
The Bottom Line: I can't recommend a system that is only miraculous in its ability to fool newbies into thinking they're getting more for their money.
Review: I made a trip to a mall in Tampa, to get a replacement for an iPod whose home button had gone to the great Apple in the sky.  While there, it occurred to me to walk into the Bose store and check out its "wave radio."  The moment my son and I walked...

Easy to Use and Good Looking; Bose just Sounds Awful.

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: Interested in ease of use and looks, and don't care about money? the Bose is for you. If you want good sound quality, Buy Other Sound Equipment.
Review: Bose is one of the most recognized names in audio. Bose's advertising is outstanding, but how about their audio systems? I took a trip to my local Bose dealer to put their Flagship, the Bose Lifestyle 48 to the test. It retailed for only $3,999.00...

Great for movies, Ok for Music... but... you pay a premium..

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2006
The Bottom Line: It's a good system, but for a set market. A family will sure enjoy this system, and whats more... you cant tell the system is installed.
Review: I'm going to try and write as best I can about my Lifestyle system, the reason I paid the money I did for it.. and why overall it isn't a bad system. I'll also explain what I dislike about the system.

First of all, I'm not a newbie to...

Bose Lifestyle 48 - Looks and sounds amazing.

Date of Review:  Oct 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: Buy one if you're looking for an easy-to-setup home theater system that looks great and is built well.
Review: I have no idea what these other people are talking about, but this system sounds and looks absolutely astonishing. It has the deepest bass, clear highs, and great compatibility with my video i-pod. The DVD/CD player is amazing. It stores tons of...

Super System 48

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2006
Review: This Bose system sounds great for movies and music. Watching movies on DVD look fantastic. This Bose product is very easy to setup and use.

I bought this system because of limited space in my two story family room. I have a forty inch high...

The Sound will blow you away

Date of Review:  Dec 6, 2007
The Bottom Line: Go to the Bose Store and hear it before you buy, And when you get it home and set up (RIGHT)it's sounds just like it does in the store
Review: I had heard of Bose, and I got a chance to hear it and I was ((wow)) by it for the size and sound. Movie,Sports and Video games is just so life like it unreal. I'm very happy with it. Anyone who is reading this should go hear it first before you...

Love the sound, but known DVD problems plague Bose Lifestyle systems

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: $4k is too much to spend on a system with this bug. If you must have a Bose system, buy a speaker system but use another DVD player.
Review: I've had 2 Bose lifestyle systems over the last several years and have always found it unbeatable to get great sound from such a small package. However, my first Lifestyle system 25 did not have a DVD player, so I wasn't aware of the issues...

Bose life style for the rich.

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: Dont buy it. It costs to much and you can find other good looking systems for less money.
Review: I was in the USA 2 years a go during my travels and I had a chance to look, see and hear the "life style system.
When I came into the the bose store I was invited to a show room to see the "amazing life style system" :) as the sales man called...
