3.0 out of 5 starsExceptional sounding system ~ Vastly overpriced
By Expressed Reviews TOP 500 REVIEWER on December 22, 2012
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.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAll you could ask for in versatility
By T.D.C. on January 6, 2011
I have had the Bose Acoustic Wave Music System 2 for about 2 years and find it amazingly versatile and with rich true sound and clarity. If you want sound that is true to life as in natural instrumentation and natural voice this system can't be beaten. If you are looking for the electronically "enhanced" bass that shakes your neighbors three doors "or cars" down this is not your boom box. If you like your music to sound as if the orchestra or vocalist is in the room or outdoors with you this system is perfect. Whether it is radio, CD, MP3, or your Ipod, your music will sound great. With the optional case and battery pack you will have a great system by the pool or to accompany your gardening, etc. The only improvement, in my opinion, would be a display in front as in the Wave Radio instead of on top.. but you are usually too far away from this system to be able to read it anyway. Put on an MP3 or a favorite playlist on your Ipod and enjoy the incredible sound.

2.0 out of 5 starsThe sound is great but too quickly it doesn'ty produce
By Thistle Brown on June 28, 2010
After a few years - say, five - it doesn't play some CDs - and Bose has a very casual view of my complaints. To send it to Bose and have it repaired, including S&H from here to there,is, as I recall, more than $250. So again and after three years - or so - it is choicy about what it wants to play. I was asked if I play copied disks - sure, sometimes. But it too often doesn't play the Real Stuff.

I have a boom box from Walmart,for cryin' out loud, that'll play anything. DO NOT BUY BOSE - and I did buy from Bose twice. Bose does not support its buyers except to argue with them - okay, me - and charges so much that there's no point in buying what they're offering.

An addendum: I NOW HAVE A STACK OF CDs - MAYBE 8" HIGH - ALL OF THEM COMMERCIALLY SOLD THAT I SHALL HAVE TO PLAY ON THE CHEAPY BECAUSE I'M TOO IMPECUNIOUS TO PLAY THE BOSE GAME YET AGAIN.

I WOULDN'T TRUST ANY BOSE PRODUCT AT THIS POINT INCLUDING WHAT USED TO BE (AND STILL ARE?)EXCELLENT SPEAKERS.

4.0 out of 5 starsLovable Dinosaur
By shopper on October 4, 2010
I bought a Bose Acoustic Wave ten years ago -- right after Bose upgraded the unit by replacing the old slider controls on top with electronic ones and included a remote. The single tray CD player on top was perfect for what I wanted it for -- a simple to operate, decent sounding stereo for my wife. She is not comfortable operating the main stereo in our house, so for when I'm not at home and she wants to play her swami-candle-chime-hippie CD's, she can easily do so. We use it as, basically, a kitchen radio. It excels at that. Easy to turn on and off, get the news and traffic while gulping down the morning coffee, play in the background when eating at the table etc.

As far as its sonic quality, you know what they say: "No highs, no lows -- it must be Bose."

Don't get me wrong -- it's the greatest portable radio ever built. If you ever have to listen to radio for a long time, you'll be a lot happier listening on this than any other self-contained radio on the market. Too bad Bose can't keep up with the world and put an HD radio in it -- the Acoustic Wave hasn't changed in 11 years. If you don't need the radio, you might be better off with the $600 Bose Sound Dock -- the one with the woofer built in. It'd be a lot cleaner looking sitting on your shelf than the not-so-small Acoustic Wave, and you wouldn't have to have a separate iPod dock sitting next to it. Besides the news and traffic, why would anybody listen to a radio anymore?

All in all, the Acoustic Wave is OK if you need to play music loud at a party. For a kitchen radio, it's overkill. For an audiophile, it's water torture.

Bose decides what frequencies you want to hear and thus you cannot change the frequencies. I could live with that, but after making this unit for decades, the price does not... Read more

Love the unit, but was disappointed that I had to go to other suppliers for miscellaneous parts (power pack, rca plugs, wires and carrying case). Not a one stop shop!

5.0 out of 5 starsCompact system with huge sound

''Extraordinary sound without being a nuisance to your neighbors'' is my verdict for this system and with the Bluetooth adapter, I can listen to music from all my devices.

1.0 out of 5 starsLousy sound quality for way too much money

For $1000 you can get much, much better sound. Heck, you can get something better for $200. Poor quality construction, boomy, dull sound with no real highs and one-note bass. Read more
