 bose wave July 23, 2008
I've purchased 5 bose waves over the pass 10 years - all are still going strong. It's one of my favorite gifts to give since the recipient is always pleased. I did get one with a bad battery in the remote but this was easily replaced. Don't spend more than you need to for great sound - get the $500.00 bose radio/CD.

Amazing device. I had a chance to listen to this music system in Las Vegas at Red Rock Hotel. Simply amazing. Back to NY I ordered one from Amazon. A little expensive bur once I received it I forgot about the price.
For people that complain about the lack of buttons did you know that there is a Integrated Controller sold for $39 by Bose?

Some quirks, but the sound... oh the sound. June 3, 2008

Pros: The sound, the sound, the sound
Cons: Too expensive, CD player has issues
I bought my Wave about two years ago and I have to say that I can hardly listen to regular speakers anymore without cringing. Of course, I can't afford to Bose-ize my entire speaker assortment and it took me a while to make up my mind to get it (I don't like to overprice just for a brand sticker if the product doesn't deserve it) but I'm happy I did eventually shell out the cash for it. It's hard to believe that such expansive, rich sound can come out of such a small box and at first you'll be marvelled at how sound seems to be coming from places where there's no speakers; it does create a very "there" experience.
Issues with the design seem to be more of a personal taste thing. While customization in the form of a bunch of knobs and buttons sounds good, I'm sure I'd have found a good setting and left them there most of the time so I'm not against the button-less design as it's quite stylish and unique. That said, a hidden, inset eject button would have been useful for when you need to change CDs without having to unplug/replug the unit if you've temporarily misplaced the remote. Speaking of the remote, it does have quite a reach and I can usually use it from another room in the house just as long as I'm pointing towards the bedroom door. I've even used it under the covers and it works.
When I first got my Wave the CD player started getting stuck and ejecting some CDs on its own within the first 30 days. I returned it back to Bose who sent me a new unit free of charge but the CD issues resurfaced a couple of months later. Since I didn't care for the hassle of sending it back again as it seems to be a design flaw, I kept it. Nowadays I do get the CD issues every once in a while but they are not as annoying or as frequent as they seemed at first. For the most part, it plays just fine. I love Bose speaker technology, but they don't make the best CD players. In all fairness though, the unit plays hassle-free both audio and MP3 CDs 95% of the time and with great sound. Recommended.

Amazon is a great way to make purchases and the Bose Wave radio is also great. I am very satisfied with the whole process.
