      I like everything about the Bose Wave Music System IV. It's nice to have a radio that just simply turns on and off and a CD player that just simply plays when a CD is inserted, no need to get out the iPhone, connect to Bluetooth, etc. just to listen to a little music, no boot up and annoying menus. It's uncomplicated and Bose has thought of everything. It's easy to setup with the remote and the directions are easy to follow.

      It has good bass response. The default bass setting is fine for me. You can easily set the bass lower if the default seems like too much. The sound quality is excellent, a more refined sound than the average sound bar, subwoofer set up, most of which sound muffled and booming to me.

      The lack of Bluetooth is no problem as far as I'm concerned me. The unit will play an MP3 cd. CDs are cheap. Burning a cd with a selection of music is no problem. I prefer not to use the iPhone for music anyway. I rather burn a CD than fool with iTunes any time. The CD is backup for the music and save wear on the iPhone battery.

      The Bose Wave Music System IV isn't touchy like so much other technology, Bluetooth, touchy touch screens, etc., touchy volume controls that blow up your speakers or your ears. I turned off the touchy touch power on/off. You might like the feature. I didn't. The first time I brushed over the top to remove a speck of dust and the unit turned off I was a little put out, but I appreciate so much how Bose allows me to turn off that feature easily, I got over it and went back to loving it.

      I was hesitant about buying this because I had an old second hand one that was the pits. I had started to think that Bose was just overpriced and overrated. I'm happy to say I was wrong, at least about the Bose Wave Music System IV.

      I have been a very long time Bose Wave radio user and love it. Our older one that we have had for 26 years finally broke down. I wasn't real excited about the newer ones since I thought everything had to use the small remote and didn't see how that would work as an alarm clock which is what we wanted. I was very happy to find out (after watching some review videos) that the top was touch sensitive to turn on/off the radio and and that also worked for turning on/off the alarm. Our old one didn't have the CD so not sure how much we will use that but with the demo CD that came with it, it was fascinating to hear the sounds from it rather than always relying on the local radio stations. I've always been impressed with the Bass levels from these radios and as expected the new one doesn't let us down. The sound is great out of it. It does seem like the sound levels on this one has to be a little higher than our previous one but I don't know if that's just a difference in the volume range numbers. No matter what it still sounds great. I'm hoping we will get as many years out of this one as our previous one.

      Bose is known for two things: 1) Great sound, and 2) High cost
      Ours sounds great. There’s no way around it. It sounds terrific! The remote control is intuitive and easy to use (although there are no controls whatsoever on the Wave itself).
      I’m pleased with the player aside from the price (we received it as a gift).
      However, the advertising for this product is misleading. It indicates that it has Bluetooth. It does not.
      You have to purchase an aftermarket Bluetooth device which plugs into the back via RCA or auxiliary jacks. Now I can play songs from my iPhone via Bluetooth. And units are available for reasonable prices (just over $20). But when you pay this much for a Bose that appears to have Bluetooth only to find it doesn’t, it’s disappointing and frustrating.
      But as I’ve said, the sound is rich and deep and clear and beautiful.

      I bought this as a gift for my mother, but had to test drive it before I gave it to her. I have and use the much smaller Bose bluetooth speaker with my phone and it really sounds good for it's size. The Music System IV uses the same folded wave tube design as in the smaller bluetooth speaker (or vice-versa.) At any rate, the amount of bass produced by the system is impressive given it's size. On balance, it provides good full-range audio. The radio portion provides the RDDS info if the radio station provides it; seek works well in finding stations. The CD player functionality is all there along with CD-Text. There is provision for a telescoping external antenna and an auxiliary input. All in all, a worthwhile purchase.

      This latest purchase is the fifth time I have purchased a Bose Music System. The sound is incomparable and just fantastic. The only complaint I have is the way the delivery took place. I had asked that it be packaged in a Amazon box so the contents would not be made aware of, this was not done, also the delivery person this not advise me that he had left the box outside unprotected whatsoever and he did not even ring the doorbell to advise me of delivery. I was home all day waiting. I live in an area where theft it very prominent.
      A neighbour noticed my parcel and rang my door to alert me. This is not the first time that this has happened. Perhaps instructing your delivery persons to be a little more attentive on how they perform their deliveries. Thank you.
