Great sound! December 18, 2007

Sounds and looks great. The only downfall is that there are no controls on the unit so if you loose the remote you cant use it.
 Bose Wave Radio II November 11, 2006

This latest model has excellent sound and an elegant look. However, the controls are no longer on the unit itself but only on the remote. Aside from the problem of where to store the remote in a secure spot so that it doesn't fall behind the bedside table or on the floor, I use this radio as an alarm so this frequently creats problems when I am sleepily fumbling for the snooze button or the off button and I either can't find the remote or I brush it off the bedside table and under the bed. Of course, that means that I do get up but in a very irritable mood.
Close to perfect, but not quite... August 15, 2006

Great styling, sound, and features really make this a standout product. The Bose Wave radio is a thing of beauty and will enhance any room decor, while the sound quality is outstanding. It has nice features, with the auto dimming LED display and the gradual volume increase on the alarm particulary well thought out.
I have one gripe - all the time setting features are set by remote control, which in theory is cool, but in practise is a pain in the neck. On most clock radios, to get the digits turning quickly when setting the clock / alarm time, you hold the button down - same with the Bose remote, except that the infrared link isnt perfect, so instead of being able to advance the time quickly, the time advances slowly (painfully so) because the button never stays 'held down' long enough. It took me about 20 mins to advance to the desired time - doesnt sound too inconvenient, but when you've just shelled out over $300 for a clock radio, it's a bit frustrating.
Still highly recommend product - only loses a star because of time setting shortcoming.
 over priced product July 26, 2006

It wasn't worth the money that I payed for. It is a good radio if you have an external antenna. I would play it in the office and could never get a decent signal until I had to pay an extra $30 for an antenna. If you are going to pay $300 plus you should get something that works out of the box. I could have purchased a lesser know brand and recieved better reception then what I got. Overall if you want to end up purchasing more products to make your system work to perfection this is the product for you. There are plenty of products that don't cost as much and deliver everthing this did and more.

This radio, which stems from the original Bose Wave radio is an outsanding product. The quality of sound is incredible and stands in a category of its own. The reproduction of each frequency sounds superior to most anything I have heard in the past (and I have plenty of hi-fi stereo experience). The radio is incredibly small and if you had your eyes closed you would guess the item was much, much larger. Many people are complaining about poor FM reception, or problems because there are no more buttons on the radio, etc. What I will say is that a radio is and should be reviewed for the sound quality before ANYTHING else- because that is its main purpose. The alarm clock works well, and through Boses promotion program you can get a bigger remote that works in the dark. This product should receive 5 starts for the way it sounds and how small and convenient it is. Yes, it is a bit pricey but the difference in price and resale value sets this product in a category of its own. (Check out ebay if you don't believe me for resale value!) I will say the aux input (allows you to connect an outside CD player, or IPOD, mp3 player, etc) is a 3.5mm input this time instead of an RCA jack (but that problem is solved at radioshack or best buy easily) and the FM antenna input is now a 3.5mm also instead of a coaxial input (yet again, this can be solved at an electronics store). The display is large and it dims when it is dark in the room where it is placed. This system is well worth the pruchase and can save you money as you avoid spending hundreds more on several audio components (receiver, cd player, speakers, subwoofer). Bottom line is that this thing sounds great and will fill a room with incredible sound at any volume. I highly recommend this product or an older Bose Wave Radio if you are considering either.
