Product Description
The Wave radio II delivers deeper tones and crisper, more accurate audio performance than the original. The key to the improved sound is the new dual tapered waveguide technology, exclusively from Bose. Engineers re-sculpted the interior of the Wave radio II to accommodate not one, but two 26″ folded waveguides. These dual waveguides amplify the low-frequency output, reproducing musical notes a full one-half octave lower than the original Wave radio. The result: Ins… More >>
I received this as an anniversary gift. No dual alarms and no buzzer. You cannot select one audio level for drifting off to sleep without it being too low to wake you the next day. It’s main value is in its’ compactness. I’m dissapointed with it but at least it did not cost me anything. I would check out the csw systems. They appear to have more value

This product is a joke. Bose is nothing more than a marketing hype. The speakers are highly inaccurate and the so called great bass is just the product of huge equalization.
Next, I challenge you to find an audio magazine that rates this product as good sounding and worth the money. It simply won’t happen. The drivers they use in these radios are no better than the cheapest radio at walmart.
Anyone who dares to put this radio in their house or office is simply suggesting to the rest of the informed world that they do not review before they shop, nor do they have any knowledge about audio what so ever.

A clock radio that you have to fumble for a remote to use….I don’t think so. I have the older models (CD & Clock Radio) and they are nice but the new model is irritating.
I also have the IPOD player and at least the volume controls are on the system. I can’t keep a system that I have to locate a remote to operate.

I’ve had Bose wave radios for about twenty years and at present have four — almost one for each room. One is ancient, but still going. I’m looking for another one. I see the latest has no controls on the radio itself. What was Bose thinking? Imagine having to rely on the teensy-weensy remote (lose-able, dog-chewable) to make it work.
Onward and upward! Tivoli? Boston Ac? Ah, thank goodness for Sangean!

When my family, husband, twin daughters and me, decided to move from Montreal to Austin, we had some major decisions to make. What to take, what to sell. We had a couple top flight stereo systems, a 5.1 surround sound system to beat the band, my camera gear, — I had “L” everything, three bodies and lots of other terrific lenses — and a decade’s worth of pretty nice stuff that we’d accumulated. We were pretty well off, but not rich, not even upper middle class. This move was a big deal for us. My husband had a new job, but what about me? I was losing a pretty good income.
But Austin, what a wonderful city. And it’s warm. We decided to go for it, so we sold everything we could, reaped a small fortune on eBay. So bye bye, beautiful sounding music, bye bye my cameras and the gear I loved.
That was a couple years ago and we’re doing okay now, better than okay. We have back a new big screen TV, a new surround sound system, but we still have beaucoup de rooms that need good music and on a THELMA AND LOUISE type driving trip with my friend Katie I discovered the Bose Wave Radio System. We stopped at the outlet stores at Woodburn, a city south of Portland, Oregon and when I walked into the Bose store I was blown away. I listened to everything and when I got back to Houston I made some major purchases, it’s nice to have some money again.
I have this radio in my dark room. Usually when I go in there to work, it’s dark, duh. Okay, so I’ve got this red light in there, but you know what I mean, you can’t exactly read the labels on your CDs, so I opted for the Wave Radio instead of the Wave Music System with the CD player. There’s an audio input on the back of the machine and I plug my iPod into it with the music set on random play and then I thoroughly enjoy the hours I spend in there. Music courses through the room, runs through me as I sing along while I work. I love the bass, not too much, not too little. I love the highs. I love this radio.
