We wanted to get the new Bose device but it is ridiculously priced so searched for a better option. This  has everything the Bose has for a reasonable price and equally good sound. The bass isn't the best but it's not terrible (buy the bigger unit for deeper sound).
Recommended!

We purchased a Bose for our 'reading room' in the front of the home. The music really drifts through the entire house with excellent quality and clarity. I was skeptical of the price vs size vs need but we are satisfied with all, I shopped for many small systems and we decided on the Bose and are pleased. I wish the multi change cd player wasn't so expensive, we would have added it already but we're just living with the single player for now.

I've owned the Bose Acoustic Wave Music System II for the past 5 years, and although I have no complaints about the way it performs, I believe that it's way overpriced. Prior to owning this unit, we owned the original Bose Acoustic Wave Machine. When we purchased the original version, it was priced similar to what this one is priced at. At the time, and even when I purchased this one, I felt that the price was justified for the high quality performance that the system delivered. My feeling is that the high price of the original unit, as well as this one when it was first released, was justified because of the years and years of research that Bose put into the design of such a marvelous device. Now, since it's been almost 30 years since the original version was first produced, Bose should realize that prices for electronics have come down. The Acoustic Wave music system ll is very similar to the original version. The way I look at it is this. If you purchase a High Definition TV today, you'll end up paying about 75% less than you paid for a similar TV just 6 years ago, yet the TV you buy today will be a lot better. The same applies to most consumer electronics. With the Bose Acoustic Wave music system ll, you're basically getting the same thing that you would have, had you purchased the device when it was first introduced back in the 1980's. Yes, there have been some improvements and additions, but none that would justify the price being kept so artificially high.

There is no question that the performance of the Bose Acoustic Wave Music System II is phenomenal. Compared with much larger systems with separate speakers, the Bose performs admirably. On this scale, it definitely deserves 5 stars. If you've never listened to it before, you'll be astounded that such a small music system could put out such incredible sound. Even in a very large room, the sound produced by this device is nothing short of phenomenal. It has rich bass, and crisp mid range and treble. It's truly astounding when you hear it for the first time. The problem is that there are other companies that are producing similar systems for a fraction of what Bose charges. They may not be quite as good, but at a price of less than half of what you pay for the Bose system, you could purchase one from a different manufacturer that would sound almost as magnificent as this one does.

The bottom line is that this device gets 5 stars for performance and 1 star for price. That's why I rate it an overall 3 stars.

Well Well Well, this cute little pocket sized gadget is just what I had wanted since I bought my first Bose Cinemate Theatre Syst., but had no idea one was already on the market; until I almost purchased the Bose Wave Touch recently. Three days ago while scrolling on Amazon I saw this, and was soooo excited, because I can now experience crisp trebles, and heavy Base filling my house while listening to my favorite music. [And] yes it works flawlessly. However it wasn't pairing, and I was wondering why, then I decided to unpair one of many of my BT connections on my phone, and instantly I was paired with Bose. Great job again Bose!!!

Excellent purchase -- only radio in my home that can pick up the stations I like to listen to most.  Sound is outstanding/crystal clear.  CD is great, and remote functions easily.  The unit is fabulous. Best part is that I purchased the Bose Wave Music System IV at a great reduced rate.  Love it!  Small enough to place anywhere, but very big on sound.

Not sure what the previous poster is talking about. I just purchased a PRO Series EVO5101 from a home theater distributor in my area. Once installed and properly calibrated by the sound technicians that did my installation, the system sounds much better than my Bose Lifestyle setup. Whatever system on here that is for sale for $500 or so is surely a counterfeit or simply a refurbished item. I paid just under $3,000 for mine with my IC discount and couldn't be happier.

"Boy I tell ya what..."  Great sound!  Bose is simply stellar!
I miss my Wave Radio that I had to leave with my last job.
I love my noise cancelling headphones ... never has traveling been nicer.
NOW my home theatre has never sounded better (& I work in an audio profession!).
Thank you for the joy of sound, BOSE!

Wow! When I first heard the system I could not believe it was coming from this small little box. It's a great value for money. Don't know what Bose Wave Radio sound like but hard to imagine it is better than this little jewel. Surprisingly good bass. Now, I get full use from my XM Radio -- moving it regularly between car and home office. Thanks audiovox!

Wow, this little system sure puts out the sound...unless you are hooking your bluetooth up to it, then you need to blast the volume just to hear your own music.  But, that was not why this was bought, Nice system, small size.  Works great.

I've been stopping by our Bose Factory Store n Wrentham, MA for quite some time now and test driving their products.  I finally broke down and bought my wife a Wave Radio and love it....now I made the mistake test driving the Companion 20's for my desktop at home.  I was hooked immediately.  I think if the engineers could have stuffed a 901 into these enclosures they would have :-)  I'm absolutely tickled with these.  I almost bought the Companion 5's and still may yet.  Yes...they are expensive...but if you want quality sound that occupies a small footprint on your desk, this is definitely the way to go.  Tim in Mattapoisett, MA

I am very happy so far of this setup . I was using the Bose Companion 2.1 , which has a headphone and mic jack , this doesn't . But who needs one when you have front jacks on your case. Good move , less wiring . The sound of this system is pleasantly satisfying for a computer speaker . Now you got remember , audio sounds different from ear to ear , so what I like you may not . But I gotta say , these sure are hitting the mark for me and I listen to a wide range of music .

Just bought the Bose SoundTouch 30 last night at a BOSE outlet store.. So far the unit is doing what I expected. Within half an hour,  I was able to connect my ITUNE library on my computer, and Pandora and SiriusXM on my Ipad.. And my Android phone has all the control as well.  I read many reviews  that the app was dysfunctional and don't come close to Sonos.. I personally thinks there is a lot of personal preference on sound system.  I've always been a BOSE fan ever since my first 901 system that I bought almost 30 years ago.,, and those speakers still outperform any other speakers that I've bought and discarded over the years.  Thus I might be a little biased when it comes to BOSE sound system.. But the SoundTouch does everything I want to do so I can finally retire my analogue system (CD, FM tuner, etc).
I'm totally satisfied with this purchase.  I plan to buy additional BOSE SoundTouch to get music flowing throughout the house.

The systems is well thought through to balance between the technology and user friendliness. The surround sound is an interesting tech brought the room with vivid sound effect but simple setup without the wiring headache in 5.1 systems. Audio effect wise, I used to have a 2-channel tube systems powered by Audio Reserach, and Bose is not comparable unfortunately. Nevertheless, due to Bose's user friendliness, it actually brings more music to my room than my tube systems so you are the judge what type of audio systems you would choose. The only suggestion is the systems should bundle/include the BlueTooth. What Bose suggested is to buy a BlueTooth dongle with additional $60 and required a separated power plug, it works fine though.

I am so happy with this stereo system.  No hiss on CD play, no automatic turn-off.  It sounds every bit as good to me as my mom's Bose Wave, at a fraction of the cost.  I specifically wanted one with adjustable bass & treble and this one delivers rich, round, great sound and plenty of volume.  I have it in the kitchen and keep it at about 24, but checked it out at 35 and could hear it fine 2 rooms away with no distortion.  A huge bonus is that the FM antenna picks up my favorite radio station where my old boombox did not.  After all the reviews mentioning bad packaging, I was surprized Amazon still hasn't gotten a clue about how to properly package this item for shipping.  I posted feedback on their packaging link, and sure hope this stereo wasn't damaged by sliding and slamming around in the way-too-big box they shipped it in w/o sufficient filler around it.  Sheesh!
