Bose Wave Music System

NO answers as to WHY BOSE have seemingly prohibited older devices [5 yrs] WIFI from working.
I have Numerous Bose [4] devices in multiple locations and all stopped at the same time. I spent hours with Bose support without ANY solution nor acknowledgment of even an issue. Unable to EMail them, Write a Review to them or Contact. I have since found more than 10 people with the SAME issue including a Bose Retailer. Highly Suspicious. Will be changing manufacturers.

It suppose to work as internet radio, forget about it, no connection, not loading, looses all favorites, no support either, nerve braking piece of electronics, no support either, what a money waste!

I have used this clock radio for over 20 years, until my radio died.
The new version, purchased (IV) has no Battery Back Up!
An alarm with no back up!! Not Acceptable.

Have been trying to use Bose’s WhatsApp to try sort out a warranty issue with my wave iv (< 1year old). I uploaded all the docs to to their WhatsApp number last Sunday (as I did tonight in this app), with s/n and proof of purchase from JBHiFi, WA. I waited 3 days and no reply. I then tracked down their Bose’s service phone number, and was told in the call, ‘Bose doesn’t have a service agent in WA’, and at this stage they couldn’t assist me (are u for real Bose?)? The unit is under 1 year warranty!! The saga continues, and on Thursday (4-days la...

Thank you so much! I love listening to music all the time and with the quality of the Bose Wave System, I don't know how I ever lived without one. It's the best I've ever heard.

Love the sound, it is exactly what we want & expect from Bose.
Connectivity is poor, it keeps dropping the wifi connection to the point that we now just
bluetooth spotify from our devices. Phones, Ipads & computers. The bluetooth drops frequently too but is much easier to setup than going thru the wifi setup. The Bose app needs serious attention which is a bit dissapointing.

Bought a Bose wave 4
I expected it to be able to alternate with sources to play sound for my tv and also act as a speaker for my smart phone. That's not asking a lot this day and age. It's 2020.
So... Reality check. The wave 4 doesn't offer HDMI connection at all.... Like at all. You have to buy one of those red white and yellow cables to connect a tv. Or worse as I've found you have to plug a 3.5 mm into the headphone jack on the tv and then into the aud in connection on the wave 4.
It gets worse. Doing this means you cannot then toggle betwee...

My first Bose purchase was the "TV Speaker" several weeks ago... I was so impressed by its performance that I decided to go for the Wave Soundtouch IV system....
..... Quality packaging and contents. BASIC setup (CD, RADIO, AUX, BLUETOOTH) was fast and simple. DIGITAL setup, however, tested patience, with the app asking for my wifi network and password but moving on and looping messages. Frustrating... Until I called the Bose 1800 number for help. I was answered by a very helpful, and professional, Australian woman who asked what I was experien...

This unit has to function as a music player and also as a bedroom clock radio. The audio quality is solid without being amazing for that kind of role. The user interface however is awful. I wouldn't have found it acceptable in 2010. The fact you can't set the alarm not to activate in weekends defies belief at this price point. As does the fact the clock doesn't automatically set DST and doesn't synchronize to a server.

It really should've been a no brainer, it's Bose, it should have excellent audio quality. Not on this device though. I'm unsure whether the complete lineup is representative by this this, but I know this and the SoundTouch 10 are a complete let down. The audio levels between different media is atrocious, with some media having to double their levels in order to to the same as others. The bass is awful, even with the bass wound right back, washed out and with little punch. Dynamic range is shocking, absolutely no midtones and the app that compan...

The remote is garbage to operate is like pushing hard plastic bubble rap and the unit itself way to much base and this morning it has lost its clock and the functions are intermittent $900 going to the garbage which is a shame what happened to Bose quality do yourself buy something else check the reviews.

This was my first Bose product, and based on it's performance it won't be my last.
The unit comes well packaged, and is very easy to set up, only taking a few minutes until you have music pumping out. The clarity and volume of the sound produced is outstanding, similar to what you'd expect from a much larger system. The versatility of the unit enables you to play music from basically any source. The old saying, "you get what you pay for" is so true, quality comes at a price, and the Bose Wave makes every cent count.

I bought a system III about 3 years ago because of the Bose name. Even though I considered it expensive I thought it would be a good reliable unit.

Well, It worked well for about 6 months or so and then the remote failed - wouldn't turn it on or allow you to change between radio, CD etc. So I ordered a second remote. That worked for about a year or so and then it too failed in part. So we have 2 remotes which only partly work One is used to turn the unit on and switch between functions. The other is used to adjust the volume. I have not yet o...

The Bose wave music system is the best music system I have bought.The Bose has a CD player FM radio.Digital Radio.Bluetooth.and you can listen to music from Spotify.The Bose has a different speaker system giving better bass and treble.You have to listen to the sound to appreciate the quality. It is well worth the price.

My first complaint is that many times when listening to a CD, the vocals are drowned out by the bass. Even with the bass lowered on the Wave IV, the vocals still get washed out.
Secondly, my inexpensive AM/FM radio has no problem picking up a near by AM station. Unfortunately, the Wave IV has difficulty: the static is overwhelming which makes listening to one particular AM station impossible.
Finally, my other 2 Bose Wave radios (non-CD) had buttons on top of the radio which made it easy to 'feel' in the dark when changing stations, lowering...
