Wave Music System IV - Espresso Black

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.

Wrapped perfectly; the product was well protected. Delivered early. In used condition, exactly as described. Even some extra handwritten notes from the seller about how to turn the product on and off with a tap. Works beautifully. I would buy a used product from this seller again with confidence.

I love it so much! It’s just like new. I can play all my CD’s once again! The radio sounds great. I also received a free blue tooth connector. I already have one, but now I have a spare. I can send my iPhone music to the Bose and the sound is wonderful. Thank you so much!!!

I purchased the Bose Wave Music System IV It came very well packed in perfect condition. The unit looks brand new and the sound is AMAZING!! I’m very pleased with my system and look forward to listening to all my favorite CD’S again. Chris In Washington

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.

Nick and Leo included a note with this great Bose WAVE lV to get in touch with them so they could make things right before leaving a negative review. No worries, guys! I can only say good things about the secure packing and the fantastic condition of this item. I bought a Laicomein Bluetooth receiver and can easily stream my music into my Bose for its signature full sound. I will review that receiver and its drawbacks when I finish this review. The remote is easy to use so setting the preset FM stations is a breeze and the radio sounds great as well with the antenna left over from my dead Cambridge Audio system. The hand sticker on top to show the one touch on and off feature detracts from the aesthetics but it’s not a big deal. I don’t know if it can be or should be removed. I love the more compact size because I can fit my basket of CD’s beside it instead of on top like I had to on the larger previous system. The newer systems with CD capability have built in WiFi but they are bulky and expensive. The Bose WAVE lV sounds excellent for its size in our master bedroom armoire and I would highly recommend this vendor for a great deal on this older system.

I'm 78 years young and old school. Since I have a lot of Cd's I wanted a AM/FM stereo and CD player, no need for streaming. I wanted a system that would not give me good sound but exceptional sound and one that is compact. My previous system was a 2007 Sony DVA-HDX265 with 6 speakers and wires all over my entertainment center. Ugly. My Bose Wave 4 from Amazon and Audio & Scientific Corp cost me $583 used. Even though discontinued by Bose in 2017 this is exactly what I wanted. Walmart sells this exact same unit for $1700 new ! The seller Audio Video & Scientific Corp. made this unit looks brand new in appearance and function . My hats of to them. I can't believe the sound quality. If your like me and want a Bose Wave 4 contact the above two ! i wanted Walmart

Sounds wonderful with that extra bass kick with the music that's playing. Would buy again.
