Great Sound and Easy to Use But There's a Catch
By M. JEFFREY MCMAHON
The Bose Wave Radio II is easy to use, has top-of-the-line speakers and has a high-quality build. I use mine as a TV stereo speaker. The auxiliary input works for that function and what I like is that it doesn't take up a lot of space next to the TV. Indeed, incredible sound for the size of the speakers. So why only four stars, not five? Because the Bose, for all the money it costs, is not a top radio performer. It has only average AM reception with its internal ferrite antenna and worse its FM relies on the power cord for what is truly a lame "antenna." So as a speaker, the Bose is great but as a radio it is well below par. For hooking up to your TV, the Bose is outstanding. But as a bedside radio? No way. You would be better off buying a 159-dollar Sangean WR-2, a 259-dollar Sangean HDR-1, a 159-dollar Eton Sound 100 (my favorite for its retro look) or a 159-dollar Tivoli Songbook for your bedside. But if you're integrating the Bose into your TV home entertainment system and you don't mind spending the money and you're not fastidious about your FM reception, then you will enjoy the Bose.

By T. Garwood Jr.
This latest model has excellent sound and an elegant look. However, the controls are no longer on the unit itself but only on the remote. Aside from the problem of where to store the remote in a secure spot so that it doesn't fall behind the bedside table or on the floor, I use this radio as an alarm so this frequently creats problems when I am sleepily fumbling for the snooze button or the off button and I either can't find the remote or I brush it off the bedside table and under the bed. Of course, that means that I do get up but in a very irritable mood.

over priced product
By pop fan
It wasn't worth the money that I payed for. It is a good radio if you have an external antenna. I would play it in the office and could never get a decent signal until I had to pay an extra $30 for an antenna. If you are going to pay $300 plus you should get something that works out of the box. I could have purchased a lesser know brand and recieved better reception then what I got. Overall if you want to end up purchasing more products to make your system work to perfection this is the product for you. There are plenty of products that don't cost as much and deliver everthing this did and more.
