Big bad bass, I got this radio/cd player for my wife who is the primary listener. She seems to like it, but I am hard of hearing and don't like it at all. There is no way to alter the bass/treble of the sound, and as delivered the bass is very strong. I like to listen to voice radio and because the radio is so bass-heavy I cannot understand what is being said; it's all mooshy. Likewise, the bass "thump, thump, thumps" in popular music overwhelm the melody. But my wife, whose hearing is better than I'd like it to be, thinks it's fine.
Great Product!!, (What's this?) The Bose Wave Music system is everything it advertised. The sound is superior and amazing for something so small. I couldn't be more pleased. I probably would have gone with a lighter color though if I had to do it over again.
At Last, a Radio for Audiophobes,, . . . . by which I mean those who love music but hate all the gadgetry inherent to most audio systems. For decades, I have listened to my beloved classical radio station through a couple of different inherited stereo systems, each hooked to large speakers by wires trailing into the corners of my living room. Both sets were black, and located on low shelves inside an entertainment cabinet. The print that differentiated all the dozens of buttons, slides, and knobs on these systems was pale grey, and they were all difficult to see and read. For crying out loud, all I wanted to do is listen to the radio, not grope around on my knees with a flashlight and magnifying glass trying to turn the systems on and make them work. It was difficult to even see or feel the right button to push to merely turn these systems on and off. Most recently, the music that came out of the speakers sounded like a mouse orchestra playing on walnut shell violins into a tin can microphone run with tiny strings to the speakers. So, it was time for a new radio.
Although this radio/CD player is ridiculously expensive, you get what you pay for. I like that it is made in the USA, even if of imported components. You pull it out of the box, plug it in, turn it on, and it plays, beautifully. The sound is fabulous. It was even easy to program it to play my station when I turn off a CD. I do wish there were control buttons on the unit itself, even on the back, in case the remote fails. I suppose that I couldn't use my flatscreen TV without the remote, either, and it will probably never be a problem.
Refused to play new CDs out of the box second day onwards, (What's this?) I had read a lot about how great the Bose wave music system is and since ordering it on amazon I was waiting in anticipation. The product arrived one afternoon and it didnt take me a long time to set it up. Everything seemed perfect the first evening. I played a whole range of music: some ghazal music, rock, pop, instrumental, Indian classical concerts etc. The sound was great and the ambience matched my anticipation. I went to bed that night a content man.
The next morning was a shocker!! I tried to play CDs but my new Bose system would refuse to play any of the CDs I inserted. To be precise, it would play one track or a couple and then show error message and stop. I tried to play new CDs I had bought from BestBuy recently, CDs I had for a long time, or even CDs I had played to my satisfaction the night before. The same routine continued -- it would play one track or two and stop to show error message. I was stunned when it started doing this to new CDs out of the box. I did not play a single CD that I had burnt mp3 files onto.
Bose Wave Radio, (What's this?) My husband is really enjoying his Bose Wave System. It is able to pick radio stations very well especially in this area. Beautiful sound.
Bose Wave Music System, (What's this?) The music system I received for my wife's Christmas present exceeded our expectations. The product quality is superb and the shipping was very timely.

Bose Radio, (What's this?) We love the Bose Radio system and it has excellent sound quality, the remote is great, and it is our 3rd one, so we are dedicated users of the Bose Radio.
Bose Wave music System, (What's this?) After shopping a dozen stores and listening to who knows how many systems, large and small, I found the Bose Wave Music system to be in a class by itself. Yes, it is expensive, but the sound quality makes it well worth the price. The sound fills the room, and spills into neighboring rooms in a magnificent manner.
Good guy to deal with, (What's this?) Glenn is a good guy to deal with! The problem with my order is corrected, and I would be glad to business Glenn again.
Fantastic Product, (What's this?) A great product for quality music lovers. Awesome sound quality with minimal structure size. Delivery was within time and product performs as expected.
Though after a month's usage, I face a small issue. The battery of remote control seems to be dying out. Surprised me as remote usage was absolutely minimal...
