Price Paid: $0.00 from Australia Summary The Bose CD Wave CD Radio is a little wonder... While it didnt cost me anything (long story) I would have got one sooner or later...now my parents have one too. Like many of the comments there has to be some perspective. No its not a BIG sound systems ... No its not that feature packed ... No its not a CD changer / DVD boom box Yes its small and damn easy too operate Even my wife and parents can figure it out - and I am quite sure most people out there are not into running wires all over the place and reading 400 page manuals just to be able to do this.... Go to sleep at night with a cd of your choice and at a nice volume. No have a display that acts like a night light when the lights are out. Wake up in the morning to a radio station that I like and at a volume that is different to what I like to dose off to. And wake someone else up later in the morning with something that they like - perhaps a different station / beeping or whatever. It even keeps the clock and time and stations all set in memory with a backup battery if the power goes off. All in all this does everything I need at the bedside but make coffee. Every home should have at least one!Strength Everything is good, very little lackingWeakness RF remote with alarm contols would have been a nice touch... A tad pricy for a clock radio with CD but it does the job MP3 CD playback would have a been a big plus.Would you like to Comment?

Price Paid: $275.00 Summary The packaging,features,instruction book, demo disc and aesthetic looks of the Bose are all first class. The natty credit card style remote is stylish too. It looks very classy at the side of my bed, but what about the sound?? I was a little disappointed, it sounds like an average ghetto blaster. Its definately not as good as a similiar prices midi systems. My lap top attached to the Acoustic Energy Aego 2 is definately better in a direct head to head. However lets get put this all in perspective. I think the Bose is for people with spare cash whom can afford a very stylish top of the range clock radio/ cd player. The Bose is very convenient, has lots of features and does sound very good, if compared to other clock radios and cheap ghetto blasters. Unfortunately if one is money concious then you can easily get a better sound for the same money.Strength Convenience, stylish, it does look expensiveWeakness Overpriced if you want the best sound for the pound.Would you like to Comment?

Reviewed By RAV4_driver(Audio Enthusiast) From nj, usa Review Date 11/04/2002 Overall Rating 5 of 5 Value Rating  3 of 5 Rate this review? Price Paid: $500.00 from bose store Summary This is such an incredible system. it is worth the $500. but i found out what the speakers are about. the right speaker is in a sealed enclousre and does not produce deep bass. The left speaker is more beefy and that speaker is in the acoustic waveguide, having the port by the right speaker so it sounds like both speakers are producing the bass. that is why when you go to bose store, ghey have a demo that lets you pull 1 speaker out and notice the difference. thats it! they only let you pullout the LEFT! but it still soundsa incredible and you can compare the sound at moderate levekls to some shelf systms. it sonds espically great on jazz. Very easy to use, would reccomend it to anyone.Strength deep bass, clarity, size of unit, availability, line in/out, lots of special featuresWeakness price.Would you like to Comment?

Price Paid: $255.00 from Ebay Summary I bought mine used but in excellent condition off Ebay. It was seldom used by previous owner and kept in a guest bedroom. I am very pleased with the sound and may soon purchase another one with CD from Ebay for another room.Strength Great sound, especially with Jazz. Has a rich bass for the small size. I love the remote and the clock's dimming feature.Weakness It is expensive, even for a used radio.Would you like to Comment? Join audioReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Price Paid: $550.00 from Retail Summary Listen, folks. No matter what the money, you can NOT get such a quality unit for the size and portability. It sounds GREAT outside thanks to the amazing soundstage. It sounds quite good as a TV's speaker replacements. It is not a full-size system, nor is it a bookshelf. It is a portable, sound-pumping machine that lacks a superior, not even an equal.Strength loud, wide, and flexibleWeakness not all things to all people (you idiots)Would you like to Comment?
