I cannot get bluetooth to work nor can I keep wifi signal for sirius radio to work . I CANNOT REACH ANYONE AT THE STORE FOR TECH SUPPORT TO HELP!!!!!!!!!!

WiFi no longer works, and not able to return!!!!!!

We received an open box item and not brand new as advertised.

You might think at $600 for a clock radio/CD player with good speakers you wouldn't want for anything. Sadly, this system from Bose is very Underwhelming! First, the unit is not even attached which is awkward and it separates. I can see no purpose for that--it is just plain dumb! Also, only 6 presets for stations? Really? Even a $25 alarm clock offers that. And only one CD capacity, why not 3 at this price. I know a lot of people don't have CD's anymore, but if you're going to have it and charge these prices, let's go the extra mile for the customer instead of under-changing people. Then there is the alarm clock: you have two alarm presets and you cannot even choose days of the week--it's one size fits all. My Sony clock radio that was $20 had that...why cannot Bose offer that on this $600 clock radio? And then the icing on the cake, Bose does not have a way to turn the alarm off on the unit. Everything must be done on the tiny remote which can easily get lost. This has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. Yes, you want to go in the direction of less buttons but not at the expense of practicality! You have to order another $15 remote from Bose as a backup. As far as the reception goes, it's really poor with the built-in antenna which is actually the unit's plug. Bose actually charges you $10 for an external FM antenna. I couldn't believe that the above items were the case for this "state-of-the-art" unit, the creme of the crop of clock radios so I called up Bose. And wouldn't you know, I had to wait 15 minutes to simply speak with someone, and when he answered he did not say this is Brendan with Bose, he simply said hello, it seemed like I called a neighbor down the street. Really, this is how sad your customer service is Bose. At least Apple charges a lot but has excellent customer service. A friend of mine told me recently, at one time Bose was a great brand, when Mr. Bose was alive, but since that time, Bose has become a marketing company which happens to sell speakers. Ever notice any other speaker companies advertising or opening stores in every mall, no that's because those companies put their money into their speakers, ie. B&W, Klipsch, Sonos, etc. Bose over-hypes all of its products and charges top-dollar for them. Basically, Bose wants to charge you the most it can to give you the least possible in every way! For this price, I could've gotten Ihome's top-of-the-line clock radio/stereo and hooked it up to two Sonos speakers which would blow this thing away. I think it's one and done for you Bose!

Guys if you are tired of your place and thinking to move, dont :-))) just buy this sistem and your place will get new lite :-)))) Its just so balanced, incredible, i like it and bet my neighbors will too :-). Not crazy bum bum effect but just enough to give you amazing experience what ever you listen. Wish Bose give more than 6 places for saving your favorite but still perfect....

I love this unit!!!!! I think the sound is powerful and easy to use!

The Bose Sound Wave IV only comes with a bluetooth receiver and no transmitter. That means if you own Bose bluetooth headphones you can't use them with the Wave IV without WiFi or spending $20 on a transmitter that plugs into the earphone jack. This may seem minor to most, but it does seem that a company that sells both could at least make them work together when it would be such a small addition cost. The sound is get and this is the third Bose radio I've purchased, so I would recommend it.

I was looking for a multipurpose and compact CD player/sound system, and this Bose speaker system was the perfect fit and has exceeded my expectations. I love the blue tooth capability and the sound is amazing! Definitely recommend. It's worth the investment!

This is my second Bose wave system, the first one I got it back in 2011, the radio with CD player. its still sounds great! to this day. This unit sounds just as good but, of course also being it comes with all the modern day. Features.. Yes I do agree the price is crazy! I even called Bose and asked one of their customer service. Reps. And I said I just have 1 question why is it so much money? I would understand maybe 349 or even 399 but why 599. She didn't give me a good answer she really didn't know what to say? I guess you get what you pay for? But, yes the unit sounds great what can I say ? Try it if you don't like it take it back.

i got this for my wife, she had already bought a bose product before, this is the next level up she liked. she is really enjoying the sound this product gives and she likes the bluetooh hook up as well, very happy with this purchase

Spent time in the Magnolia room at Best Buy trying out different speakers. They were all very high quality and I'm very thankful to the salesperson who helped me. Best Buy in Lafayette does not have the wave radio on display so I took a chance and purchased it based high reviews. Keep in mind it can be returned if you don't like it. I put the display cd in and put the volume on 80 as per instructions. I was overwhelmed at the sound quality. After 4 months of listening to different speakers I can promise that this quality will easily pass or rival any of its size. Make sure you compare apples to apples when comparing.

I read one review that praised this unit as they replaced "a full rack of equipment with large speakers and couldn't be happier". I have to wonder what that system was comprised of. No question, this unit provides the best sound I have ever heard from something with dual 3" speakers. But that's as far as it goes. There is just no way to produce low end frequencies properly with something of this form factor-it's sweet spot is mid-range which shouldn't come as a surprise. I have it in my office at the back of the house, away from our listening rooms, where I am looking for some background music while working. it really is exceptional that you can get this quality of sound out of a small box. I have never tried the radio, but listen to CD's as well as my local music streamed in AAC format from ripped CD's. very nice app on my iPhone to control it all. It's a great product, and i don't think it is too out-of-bounds price-wise.

I compared the Wave IV system to the SoundTouch 20, which I own, and the Apple HomePod, which I owned briefly. The thing that stands out about the Wave system is the range of sound it covers; there are no weaknesses that I can hear. Rock, vocals, jazz, classical; everything I have listened to sounds... complete. I've owned it for 6 months, use it daily, and smile everytime I use it.

I use the radio feature in the morning especially, to wake up listening to news with my coffee. Great sound. Miss when I am traveling.

Purchased March 30th 2018 . Settting up the Bose was actually pretty easy . Connected to the WiFi simple . My first thing is did was play a cd . The sound quality? Eh ok . I then used the Bose app ,internet radio you have to turn the volume up because it’s so compressed and the sound quality again is eh ok . The best sound is from playing cds . The fm stinks . The internet radio quality stinks . I tried to like this $600 dollar overpriced marketing genius wave radio . Packed it up and returned it April 3rd . I consider myself a audiophile snob of sorts but this is based on sound NOT looks . I gave Bose a shot and Bose lost . Stay away from this CLOCK radio at best . Unless you got money to burn and you like crap sound then hey then this Bose wave radio is for you . One more thing I would like to add . The insignia table radio at bestbuy sounds worlds better for hundreds less . DO NOT BUY the wave radio . Trust this review or find out for yourself . Why are there good reviews . I have NO clue !

Problem I'm just looking for a Cd player, with radio. Antenna should be included with the price, too many alarm features, no RCA jacks, just too many things I will never use, making it too complicated. I would keep it but not for the price.

The CD player stopped reading discs after around 100 CDs

This product is perfect for your room and is portable m

Fair sound quality...had a previous model, but wanted to upgrade for Bluetooth capability. Took it out of box to set up for a party about two weeks later. Speakers are just too small to provide wide sound quality. No way to really adjust sound quality. Just past return time- and cannot return. NOT worth the hefty price.
