Incredible sound from such a tiny unit.

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you're very finicky about sound and want something easy to operate and very portable, buy it.
Review: The hype is really true; this little light-weight guy can belt out clear wide sound without distortion.

If you buy or listen to the unit and you are standing close the unit, you ll initially be quite disappointed. For whatever reason, the...

BOSE Wave Radio: Review from a novice

Date of Review:  May 26, 2000
The Bottom Line: The Bose Wave Radio is a fine product with fantastic sound and quality workmanship. But for me, it wasn't a "religious" experience as expected.
Review: First of all, I'll state up front that I'm not an audio expert. My only personal sound requirements are decent bass, good volume, and not too much treble. I don't like rattling speakers, either. Those requirements met, I'm a happy camper.

Bose Big sound small box

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 1999
Review: Bose Acoustic Wave system really has a great quality to it. It reproduces
like a large expense component system. My wife was never happy with any of the mini-component systems I brought home. I tried all the brands. I never wanted to spend all...

For music lovers only

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: I recommend this system to those who appreciate the quality, not volume of their music.
Review: I could see how someone could not like this system. It is not meant for those looking for raw power to blast their uncouth music. However if you really appreciate music and know how real music is suppose to sound, then this system is for you. It is...

The AOL of Sound Systems?

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,...

We're at the movies

Date of Review:  May 28, 2000
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...

Bose Acoustic Wave II ...great sound in a small box

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2008
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...

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...

Bose Acoustic Wave - Amazing Sound

Date of Review:  Sep 28, 2000
