Before we begin, let's just state that we have nothing against Bose. In case you get the wrong idea, we'd just like to point out that Bose products ge...
Quality, quality sound, Sleek styling, Radio doesn't need antenna
It's expensive, Pretty basic set of features
If it was a few hundred dollars cheaper in price (ok, maybe less than half?), the Wave Music System could have ground for a much higher rating. It sounds fantastic, but at this price, it simply isn't justified.

Bose Wave Music System
The sound from the second-generation Bose Wave Music System CD-playing clock radio is much improved and plays half an octave lower.

Bose Wave Music System
If you can deal with the high price, you'll get a sweet little tabletop music system.
Simple to set up and use; attractive design; improved sound; plays MP3 CDs; line-in support for other devices; 30-day trial period.
Expensive; no bass or treble control.
Bose's Wave Music System improves upon the original in both design and performance.

Bose Wave
Overall, this is a very nice product, if it's within your budget. In fact, it's probably a bit overpriced when compared to the competition (check out similar products from Cambridge and Klipsch). But if you're a Bose fan and can justify the expense,...

Consumer review (ciao.co.uk)
BOSE Sound Wave is a FABULOUS piece of kit!
I was sceptical at first about the claims made of the sound quality of the Bose Sound Wave 3. Having a PIONEER Home Theatre system costing £1100 I considered that the Bose would not match up to this. Having to create space due to a house move I bought...
Compact. Great performance. Long 5 year warranty. Excellent after sales service
Single CD player. Consider that multi play should be provided for the cost
