Bose Wave Music System III

 

A premium CD player & radio that finds the competition tough.

Size-defying audio performance ; Integrated CD player & DAB radio

Warm, bass rich sound neglects higher frequencies ; Eye watering expensive compared to the competition ; iPod dock (£130), Bluetooth (£130), Multi-CD changer (£130) optional extras

technology, with its signature warm sound created by bouncing the lower frequencies off an almost intestinal maze designed to filter the signal.

Bose Wave music system III

 

Bose's long-lived Wave finally gets DAB+ digital radio

Rich sound ; Slim profile ; Now has DAB

Excessive price tag ; iPod dock is an expensive extra

The addition of DAB+ digital radio to the Bose Wave music system is a small breath of life for the aging system. Apart from its lack of iPod connectivity, it’s the perfect all-in-one mini hi-fi... until you look at the price tag.

Bose Wave Music System III

 

We had heard great things about the latest Wave Music System from Bose, so we were more than happy when the model III dropped on to our desk. And it didn't let us down.

Great sound; DAB+ digital radio; RDS; sleek look; touchpad

Reliant on the remote; no inbuilt Bluetooth or AirPlay

There are two Wave Music System IIIs on the market; with ($799) or without ($699) digital radio. It seems $100 is a small price to pay to get the clarity and range of stations which digital radio has to offer. The sound performance, alarm options and...

Bose Wave Music System III review

 

The new Bose Wave Music System III is aimed at audio lovers who appreciate great design and like their music pure and simple.

Bose’s Wave Music System III system does not have its own app or wireless streaming or any of the bells and whistles of other products which aim to deliver convenience and connectivity over quality.

Another impressive Bose music system with some new features like an in-built drive, a touch panel, the dual alarm and above all the price, which at 34k is not the best in the market, but for a Bose Wave series product, it is a hot cake.

This is a truly wonderful music system. I had wanted one for some time so when the Wave III came out, I bought it. I was primarily interested in hooking my HDTV to it for better sound. [I got my Wave III directly from Bose as they offered the...
