Digital camera reviews of Bose Wave Music System - Graphite Gray
Digital camera Review: 1 year warranty inadequate for a clock radio at this price.
Summary: 2 Stars
The sound is very good for its size...but for 500 dollars I would expect at the very least a TWO year warranty. The auto disc insert/eject is just asking for trouble. How would you feel if the disc starts to "skip" one day after the first year?
My preferred alternate solution is to buy a Bose Concept 2 pair of speakers (100 dollars) and attach a cheap (i.e. disposable) portable cd/mp3 player to it.
Digital camera Review: A Triumph of Marketing Hype
Summary: 1 Stars
Make no doubt, this system looks beautiful, but Bose sells what they make, rather than make what they sell. This unit is basically a stylized boom box. Try a blind A/B test with a competing system and you will see why. If you like the sound - great. But you do not get your money's worth with Bose.Digital camera Review: A case of too much tweaking
Summary: 3 Stars
I owned the Bose Wave radio 1.0 and wanted to replace it after many years of good service. However, this new version is a step backwards. The lack of control buttons is terrible. It may make the unit LOOK marginally better, but it really hurts functionality and convenience. The sound is pretty much the same as the first version, which is quite good. But I didn't hear any improvement over version 1, which is what BOSE claims. Overall, I think version 1.0 was a much better product.Digital camera Review: Adding my voice to the naysayers

Like it says above...
I've had this thing for less than a month and a half, have taken care to use it exactly as specified, but the problems with playing CDs mentioned in reviews below (not just CD-Rs, but full-fledged CDs) started not long after getting it out of the box, and by this point it won't play a thing without skipping, freezing or both. And I will say it has some nerve claiming in the booklet that failure of the unit to play CD-Rs is probably due to the recording process, when all of them play just fine on every other player I have. The sound quality wasn't bad when it did work, though not enough, I'm thinking, to justify the price tag. At the moment I'm thinking of just abandoning it by the road somewhere, but I don't want some other poor soul to find it and have to suffer as well...
Digital camera Review: After years of wanting....
Summary: 3 Stars
...a Bose Wave Radio, I finally invested in it only to be very disappointed. Unless you are a fan of heavy bass, this is not worth the money. The higher range is muffled and flat. Certainly not what I expected for $500. Aside from that, the CD player has no memory, no auto repeat, and the radio has no search or scan function. It bothers me that the only way to play the thing is with the itty bitty remote control which will probably be lost by the end of the week. I have 30 days to buy it or return it. Right now, I'm leaning toward returning. I'm so sad.
