Product Description
The Wave music system reproduces one-half octave lower musical notes and delivers even greater clarity and definition than the original Wave radio/CD. With its deeper tones and even more lifelike sound, you might just feel like you're sitting in the front row. Inside, our new proprietary waveguide speaker technology combines with other Bose technologies to deliver enhanced performance at all listening levels. You'll hear the same clear musical nuances whether you turn the volume up or keep it soft. You'll also enjoy the full depth and range of every vocal or instrument on MP3s, CD-R/RWs, and conventional CDs. Listen to CDs created on your computer and take advantage of the digital MP3 format for hours of uninterrupted Wave music system quality sound. The Wave music system was engineered to be delightfully easy to use. There are no visible buttons. Instead, the entire system is completely and conveniently controlled by a credit card-sized remote control. And setup couldn't be easier. The CD player, digital AM/FM tuner, amplifiers and speakers are all built-in so you can enjoy quality sound right out of the box. The large, bright display panel is easy to read and understand, prominently displaying the artist, title and album names of your suitably encoded MP3 CDs. It's also easy to enjoy the system's full, rich sound with your TV, VCR, DVD player, or computer, thanks to an auxiliary input jack. And if you want to keep the music to yourself, you can simply plug your headphones into the headphone jack. The Wave music system may look familiar, but it takes the original award-winning design of the Wave radio/CD to new levels. With its absence of buttons and a convenient slot-loaded CD player, the slim, sleek profile shines through to complement just about any room.Its lighted buttons are ideal for low-light conditions and its larger, rounded design is comfortable to hold.

 Least Helpful Review Ever August 13, 2008
I cannot believe this thing has no buttons.
Hit the snooze with the remote control?
I don't think so.
As an object, an electronic device with no buttons is like a parapalegic.
A remote is not a necessity, on any electronic device. It is a convenience. Being forced to use what is erstwhile a convenience feels like house arrest.

I enjoyed my old Bose Radio /CD Player for five years and decided to "upgrade" to the better sound quality of the Wave System. I purchased a Wave Music System and CD Changer. Another reviewer said the CD player in these units is Dollar-store quality. That's being generous. The base Wave unit regularly "captures" CD's, often for several days, before deciding to eject the disc. Okay, I thought, just use the Changer. Wrong. The Changer more often than not balks, skips, and otherwise rebels if you try to get it to read a disc. Sometimes if you let it "rest" for several hours it will get over the rebellion. Usually you have to unplug and "reboot" the Changer, which corrects the problem every once in a while. Both units were returned to Bose and replaced (they were good about this) but are STILL not working properly. The second Changer is actually worse than the one that was returned. I won't bother returning these units again, but won't make the mistake of purchasing Bose equipment in the future.
The CD sound quality IS better than my "old" Bose Radio/CD player (when it's working), but the "old" one is DEPENDABLE. I agree with other reviewers the radio sound quality just ain't worth the price. I don't mind having to use the remote as much as other buyers, but purchased extras in case I lost one. They're cheap.
If I could purchase the Wave Music System and CD Changer again -- I wouldn't. The money I spent on these units is WAY too much for the quality. Bose used to deliver quality to their customers. Not any more.
 Bose the best July 29, 2008
Great sound, great looks, pricey but worth every penny! Replaces the large component system that took up a lot of space and block the window view in our dining room. It's like going from the large back breaking 500 lb big screen TV to the large plasma and HD flat screen TVs. I have purchase three Bose music systems in the last year - two radio/CD players - one for my 74 year old Mom and one for my dinning room and one entertainment system for my husband's Jazz room to go with his 52 plasma TV. My husband now wants to purchase another radio/CD player to replace the stereo component set and enhance our 42 plasma TV in our bedroom.

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.
