Excellent quality in a small package

Good Audio System

"The system and sound quality are very good, but there are problems. I have had this system for 11 months and it works just fine. The remote operation is troublesome with regards to programming and the volume levels are very hard to get adjusted correctly. I have also had a problem using remote stereo headphones due to heavy static. Direct connect headphones work just fine. The CD/DVD player works very well, but ..." Read Full Review »

"Wow...talk about a GREAT sound! Who needs to go the movies when you can have your own theater sound at home?! We debated about spending so much, but knew we were buying quality with Bose.

"Nice product, but it ought to be in light of how much more it costs than most of its competition.



If you have the $$ go for it. However, even if you have the $$, unless you have $$ to "burn", I think that the marginal advantages of the more expensive Lifestyle Systems are simply not worth the …"  Read Full Review »

"This is so easy to use. I don't even have to explain how to use it to people. Although some people argue about the quality of sound of Bose and it's price. You can't argue with its Appearance, Lack of Wires, RF remote and the ability to easily control all your equipment. "
