Bose Wave Radio II

 

An almost $700 clock radio. Who else but Bose...

Superb sound quality, No antenna needed, RDS, Remote Control

Price, No outstanding or amazing features

At almost $700 and with no outstanding features you’d be mad to purchase the Wave Radio II. However, if you did, you would be absolutely amazed by the quality sound it produces.

Consumer review (avreview.co.uk)

EXPENSIVE, POOR OVERALL SOUND, NO DAB.

 

I use this as a bedroom solution listening to a lot of classical music and the sound is very poor. Given the exclusion of DAB and the distinctly poor performance from any source I would have to say the Bose would be a let down at 200 let alone 450.

Neat looking one box solution. Nice remote. Bass digs quite deep.

Very expensive for what it is. Poor overall sound on CD other than with acoustic material. Case distorts at high volumes. Cannot handle complicated music well - ie classical. No DAB and need a good aerial to use radio. Ipod connected through AUX sounds...

Very poor Quality

 

I have been using this Bose Wave Radio for about 3 months and overall I think the product is very poor quality, the radio reception keeps dropping in and out, the small paper speakers sound very bad, it is true the sound has no highs or midrange it...

Poor Built quality, cheap paper speakers, way over priced, radio reception drops out, very poor product.

Very Disappointing!

 

I have had this less than 3 years! Loved the sound quality at first, except for static of the radio at times, but thought that was possibly my location. Now my cd player has quit working. Very disappointing, as much as I paid for this system!!!!! But I...

Great item

 

I pondered spending this amount for a radio but when my cheap clock radio died I decided to give it a try. I figured that if it wasn't as good as the advertisement I would send it back. It is the nicest way to wake up in the morning. I was able to pick...

Best Radio Ever!!!

 

I had been considering purchasing a Bose radio for a long time. I'm glad I finally bought one! This is a great sounding radio!!! It's well worth the price!! I will eventually purchase the CD player.

Incredible Sound Reproduction!

 

I purchased this with the CD player built in, a few years ago. To begin with, at first I thought it would not be worth the money. I received it from QVC a few days after ordering. I apparently had buyers remorse as I let it set in the box for 10 days...

An excellent clock radio.

 

I purchased this no replace my previous clock radio which had very poor quality sound, this is fantastic, it fills the entire bedroom with a really rich sound even on AM radio stations, the display has 15 different brightness settings which is really...

Great sound, Bose quality.

Remote only, no buttons on unit.

Love the Bose!!!

 

This is my second purchase. I bought the Bose with the multiple changer a year ago and was so happy with it. We use it in our family room. I just received my second one yesterday ( without the multiple changer) for the bedroom. It was so nice to wake...
