    Rich Deep Sound in a small box

    Bought the Bose Sound Touch after reading some reviews. After the buy, I am convinced about the rich room filling sound coming out of those small speakers. I had other bluetooth speakers which were far more cheaper, but the sound quality too was compromised as compared to Bose Sound Touch. Add to it the radio and the crystal clear sound coming out of it - thanks to the wave technology, was quite ipressive as well. On the flip side, everything is controlled with a small remote, with no buttons on the player. The wireless module doesn't really add a lot of value, other than setting the smartphone app remote. And lastly, price is a significant factor. A point worth pondering the spend. However after deciding to buy, I am quite happy with the decision and enjoying some streaming music and the radio.

    My spouse wanted something easy but with great sound for the kitchen. The Bose Wave Sound Touch Music System IV was perfect. She wanted the CD player as she has a good collection. The wifi and blue tooth capabilities will replace the CDs in time.

    As with all Bose products , it is high quality with great features, but I wish the bass was deeper. There are only 2 adjustments for the bass, which is normal bass & less bass. The bass is okay, but I wish there was an adjustment for a deeper bass. The highs are nice and crisp, but for my personal taste, I like a lot of bass. That is my only small complaint. I like to sleep to music playing and like the sleep timer which be set in increments up to 90 minutes. There are 2 alarm settings which is nice. There is a CD player to play CDs, and which you can even set a particular song from a CD to be your alarm. I like listening to Spotify, Pandora, IHeart Radio, & Internet stations from all over the world on it from my wi-fi connection. I can connect to my Napster account through the Bluetooth connection. It is high quality & would easily give it 5 stars if I could get a little more bass. Bose has great products! As with most Bose products, this one is also high priced. I guess you get what you pay for! If there was a 4 1/2 stars that is the rating I'd give it. It is a great product, and I am glad I bought it!

    I have several Bose SoundTouch products, but this is my first experience with the Wave Radio. The sound quality is great and the size is very convenient. I love the WiFi and Bluetooth capability. I recommend using this product in larger rooms if possible because small rooms and offices do not allow the product to deliver its full range of sound

    I really love this machine and use it all the time. Was very glad that it plays not only regular CDs, but also CDs I have burned myself from downloaded songs. The only reason I did not give it 5 out of 5 stars is because the base separates from the main machine: I don't really see the point of this and it reduces functionality by making it harder to move the machine from room to room, as I had anticipated doing. I have downloaded the app and use the streaming for music. Setting this up was easy and there has not been a hiccup with the streaming, so it works very well. I have only used Pandora, but I expect it would work equally well with other services. The radio stations also come through very clearly.

    This is an easy system to set up. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I've tried putting the radio in different parts of my apartment and have gotten great sound everywhere. It's pricey to be sure, but the system delivers as promised; whether using the radio or the CD. I'm extremely pleased I decided to purchase the Bose.

    Compact CD player/fm stereo radio is elegantly designed. The player is easy to set up. Remote is user friendly. Sound quality from such small Bose speakers is amazing. Bass is rich and solid. It also pairs with smart phones and tablets for sound streaming although I have never used this feature.

    I LOVE this.....if you have the love of music this is what you sound get! The sound is amazing for such a small system. Using wi-fi and bluetooth you can get any kind of music you want to listen to. Just download the app on your phone or tablet and it becomes another remote. If you are thinking about it, don't think twice! You will love it. Set up is so easy anyone can do. No need to be real tech able. My problem was I had to get a wi-fi entender for location I wanted to put it in.

    WOW!! Bose has lived up to its reputation for fantastic sound systems and then some. The Sound System IV is a little pricey but you get what you pay for. Excellent selection of music sources from around the world, and the system fills any room with crystal clear music. Some reviews of the Bose app used to control the system have been negative. However, my experience could not have been better. Use it on 2 iPads, iPhone & iMac computer - all work flawlessly.

    Excellent sound from a small footprint. Great presence to lower end frequencies. Sources include a wide array of internet services, broadcast radio (antenna not included— really?? C’mon Bose) and physical media. Remote control is small enough to keep in your pocket but big enough to be very practical with all operating functions other than setup programming. Requires Bose app/website to program unit.

    I purchased this radio to replace an old pair of powered monitors I used with my laptop at home. I was originally looking for a pair of wireless speakers and wasn't blown away by many of the options out there. I wasn't looking for a system to go throughout the home and I wasn't looking for something that was going to rock the neighborhood. I was simply looking for a small pair of speakers with a warm sound to use in a single room. Although this Bose system was well outside my price range I found it to be a perfect fit for my purposes. I decided to bite the bullet and here we are. I am happy with the purchase and it does have that warm, full sound which Bose has always been known for. I do think it is a bit overpriced for what you are receiving. As I said the sound is great, although I've never had any cause to turn it up more than halfway. The wifi and bluetooth connectivity could be a little better and the internet radio is pretty finicky to say the least. It's slow to load and often doesn't load at all. I think Bose may have some work to do on their wireless side of things. Perhaps a future update will remedy some of these issues. Also, it's a small thing, but I wish the remote was backlit or had some type of glow in the dark labels on the buttons. It's a nice, small, user friendly remote, but you can't see the buttons in the dark. I imagine I'll get used to it, but it's something I noticed right off the bat. Overall I think it's a good little radio. I think it's perfect if you're just looking for something small, but with good sound. I imagine it would be great for a dorm, a guest room or for a single person living in a small apartment or renting a room. Although I only gave it four stars I would recommend this product. I just feel it is a bit overpriced and there is some room for improvement. I have no regrets about my purchase though. If you're looking for a small, good sounding clock radio then I would say go for it. After all it is a Bose. :-)

    I got this for my mother as a gift she had found a Bose system shed wanted and I had kept reviewing that product until this one came out, it was a newer version and had everything she was looking for, Bluetooth, AM/FM, CD, Wifi and Aux capability. She loves it, the music flows through the rooms and even the house, it doesn't sound distorted and it's easy enough for her to use since she can use it with her computer or phone. The quality is wonderful it's not like any other audio player I've ever used. I would recommend it to anyone.

    Bose never disappoints when it comes to sound quality. I play a mix of classical and jazz music on mine and the range of sound crispness and depths of bass are amazing for such a small player! I needed something for collection of cds that I have acquired and it’s the best quality option for both the price and convenience. The only disappointing part is the Bose SoundLink app that won’t yet recognize my Wave so I can’t try integrating it with two other Bose SoundLink speakers I own. Also a poor customer service experience at the store where I had to insist that they did carry this product in the store and overcome the managers objections when she sold the sales associate that they didn’t have any wave units and that I would have to order mine. She was just lazy and didn’t want to bother helping me but I insisted and the sales clerk in the cell phone department said would look for one in back and he found it. It was worth the bad in store experience because it’s a great product!

    Amazing System

    Had to find a replacement for our Panasonic micro system when we replaced the bookcases in our living room. The new system had to be low profile, capture a few FM stations and play CDs, so I picked up a newer and smaller version of our old Panasonic. Just for fun (and at my oldest son’s prompting), I purchased the Bose unit, as well. After setting up both systems, my son did some A/B comparisons using Bluetooth on his iPhone. I had always considered Bose speakers to be overpriced and overhyped, but listening to the sound coming from this unit had me re-evaluating those thoughts. By purchasing the Bose system, I had opened Pandora’s box, and knew that it would be difficult to go back to a conventional system. My final hurdle was the price. I NEVER would have considered spending over $200 for a bookshelf system (let alone 3 times that amount), but I was already addicted, and couldn’t imagine not having the Wave system. I now have a renewed interest in listening to my music collection, and consider it a worthwhile investment for that reason alone. If you have a smartphone, install the SoundTouch app for additional options, including internet radio.

    I wanted a new CD player. Once I heard the sound quality of the Bose I was sold. It's compact, but has a great sound. It took us about an hour t set it up as it has blue tooth and works using a remote control, but once we had that done everything has been great. I love it and use it every day.
