And dual independent alarms let early birds rise without having to reset the wakeup time for a late-sleeping partner.

Best Most Helpful Customer Reviews For Wave® Music System III - Titanium Silver
Bose Radio from Amazon.com
Good sound from a small box
The sound from this system cannot compare to full sized Bose 901s at heavy volume, but it sure does sound good in our large kitchen, and gives us the options of radio, CD, or iPod music (with the optional connect kit). Other reviewers (Superwinch 1510200 LP10000 Winch Review) have mentioned the lack of FM sensitivity and I agree, having had to purchase the FM antenna for an additional $9.99 to get clear reception. Weak FM reception should not be an issue with any radio at this price. Despite that, it is a terrific small music system and I'm happy with this purchase.
Wonderful Instrument
This system is absolutely beautiful, functions very well and fulfills my expectations. This was a gift to a family memeber who often tells me how happy & satisfied he is with this machine. Yes it's pricey, but in this case, it's worth the price. Well recommended (Electronic Muscle Stimulator | Electric Muscle Stimulator).

Wave music system
It was a wonderful purchase. The sound is wonderful. I'm so happy with the purchase and the its great to listen all kinds of music from oldies to sympohny music. Love it. Thanks Amazon for making it so easy.
Well worth the money
When they say "you get what you pay for" they had this system in mind. Although it is pricey, it is well worth the money. I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he is overjoyed!! The sound is better than any stereo or radio that we have ever owned.
It's wonderful
I chose this as my early Christmas present. My sister has one and I've always envied the sound quality. The reception with the optional antenna (2 Satellite TV Antenna For Traveling Review) is great. I love playing (Spalding Portable Basketball Hoop 60") the music from my iPad on it.

| The most helpful favorable review WHAAAT!? 500 dollars for a stereo? Is this the 80's? I bought this system through the Bose website because they offer a 90 day no questions asked return policy which includes shipping, PLUS 6 month zero percent financing, so I could try it out and only put up a hundred bucks to decide if I want to keep it. The first thing I thought when I saw the different options were that the prices are RIDICULOUS. For one of these guys without the CD player, it's 350 bucks. You add a simple decades old technology CD player, and they bump it up 150 dollars. Insane. However, if you don't listen to CDs and use your iPhone or MP3 player to listen to the majority of your music, you can get the CD playerless model, and add bluetooth connectivity for 100 bucks, which totals 450 for the system. I opted to go for this model, partly because I can always add bluetooth later but can't add the CD, and because I buy most of my music through amazon and it's all burnable to MP3 format, so I have CDs with over 120 songs on them in alphabetical order that I listen to in my car, and it's a huge bonus that they all work on this CD player. So, moving along... Unpacking and getting it up and playing is as easy as the listing said it would be. Take the cord, plug it into the unit, and plug the other side into the wall, and voila- you're ready to go. One thing that I want to mention is that this does not come with an FM/AM antenna included, but the instruction manual says that you can plug one in, so that's something you may want to consider if you're living in the boonies or out in the middle of BFN. The unit uses the power cord as the antenna, and the manual states that the cord should be straight to get optimal results, but I haven't really had any problems with getting the stations I want to listen to, so it might be YP, but not MP. (My problem) The design of the unit is very simple and seemingly seemless. There is a "touch pad" at the top of the unit, which is nothing more than an invisible button useful for the alarm functions, a slot for a CD, an lcd display, all on a clunky, though charmingly attractive box. The remote control is essential to this music player's operation, and Bose is probably counting on me losing it so they can wring me out for more cash. The remote is nothing special, and almost reminds me of those remotes I used to get when I had Kenwood CD players and disc changers installed in my car. Nonetheless, if you lose it, you won't be able to use this thing for much. There are four inputs/outputs on the back of the system, and they are: FM antenna (2 Satellite TV Antenna For Traveling Review), Bose link, AUX in, and Headphones. The AUX in and Headphones outputs are both 3.5 mm, which is the smaller of the two main connectors, but if you have a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter (that costs like 2 bucks on amazon) you can plug in your digital piano, or guitar (cordoba c7 guitar for student) from the amp into the AUX IN. I've done both, and the sound, especially from my Casio Previa Digital Piano came out about a million times cleaner and more pleasing than the stock speakers. You can also use professional headphones with quarter inch jacks with the adapter, but that almost defeats the purpose of spending 500 bucks+ on a stereo set. After taking the time to learn the components, the remote and operation, alarm functions and time setup etc. and finally getting to really listen to music, it's easy to remember why I bought this thing in the first place. The sound is as good as money can buy. I'm a leisure musician living with a family of musicians, and we all appreciate the distinctive Bose sound. The songs I've listened to seem to come to life, and the speakers don't miss a single detail. Playing Christopher Cross's "Sailing" turns the living room into a warm day in the bay, listening to Kenny Chesney takes me back to my roots in Tennessee, "Turkish March" transforms the space into a music hall, and the bass from Juvenile's "Back that Azz Up" really makes my house feel like the VIP room at the club. When I listen to my Wave, I like to just close my eyes and absorb the sound that you almost never get to hear in your car or from your ipod. It's ear candy. By V. Yalung |

The most helpful critical review
Just Okay...Not Spectacular- Over priced
Needed a new radio for my livingroom and wanted a quality, small sound system. this Bose Wave Radio III had many of the features I was looking for except for two things, no integrated iPod/iPhone connection and the price was a little higher than I wanted to pay. I purchased the Bose Ipod dock separatley for $99 None the less I brought it and am happy with some of the sound and quality. The remote control seems cheap and could be an issue if you use the radio/player a lot (buttons might wear out sooner - seems they could have added some extra buttons on the radio itself - not just only rely on the remote). There is the touch power off/on feature which is nice feature. It plays MP3 disks and regular music CDs. The sound was only good. I had to turn the volume way up to get a decent tones and sounds from my music CDs do need some volume to get the best (Silhouette Cameo Electronic Cutting Tool) sound, this system did not perform as I would have expected. I eventually moved it to my bedroom which is smaller. That's the only way I was able to get the nice loud sounds I like from the big box speakers. Unfortunately i ened up purchaseing the big speakers and system for my livingroom. This system is not for those that like to adjust bass and treble since there is not a button to do so. i also do not like that you have to use the reomote for everything. this could potentially be a problem in the future if the reomte is misplaced or damage.
