![]() That's essentially what I did with my old Bose 301s. We'll see if it boots up after my next move and if not, I'll dissect it for fun.Ĭlick to expand.Haha. Probably time to put it out of its misery. Man, we've punished this poor little thing, but it keeps ticking like a Timex though. It's been subjected to a ton of sheetrock dust, tile wetsawing/sawdust, along with paint splatters here and there. Definitely worth picking up used from a garage sale, secondhand store, rubbish pile, etc.ĮDIT: We also used it as our re-modeling/construction radio too. Also vastly overpriced in my opinion, but price aside, it's a great little machine.again for a fancy clock radio. Doesn't play loud at all without sounding like poo, but we can only expect so much from a couple little 2" paper drivers. Is it a replacement for a legitimate stereo? HECK no. Yeah, this thing really is a little tank.Īs a CLOCK RADIO, this thing is really great for what it is. Oh yeah, and I almost forgot to mention that there's a nice curved melted spot on the surface where my wife accidentally left a curling iron on it. Since it's Bose and I typically hate on it, I've always tossed it all over the place without a care in the world. I have personally not been gentle with it either. This little thing has a flimsy, cheap feel to it, but by golly I am truly shocked at what it's put with. They have plugged/unplugged it Lord knows how many times while it was in action, shoved the CDs in forcefully (and not always right side up), eject, repeat. I really didn't care if they broke it at this point, hence why the babies inherited it. Then it got demoted to the children's nursery where it was just used to play their lullaby CDs. Then I used it as a garage radio for years. Spent years on top of her bathroom cabinet where she'd steam herself out, sauna style, listening to her morning radio. Trust your ears as I trust mine.Ĭlick to expand.Yeah, as much as I rag on Bose normally, I gotta give the little Wave Radio credit for being a sturdy little thing. While the Bose Wave CD/Radio combo was expensive even long time ago, I think the sturdiness and the all-around, good quality of audio output of my Bose Wave Radio well worth the money, especially when compared it to other brands, cheaper or more expensive.īuying audio equipments is a very subjective matter, so I respect everyone's purchase decision and urge them to appreciate the products. My FLAC and music CD are all beautiful on this old little device. The mid and high ranges are good for my ears. While this is no comparison with dedicated subwoofers, it is good enough for most of modern day's movies and certainly music sound tracks. My experience tells me the Bose has lowest bass frequency at about 50Hz if set the volume to 60-65, might get to 45hz if the volume gets to 70 or higher. Setting volume to anywhere less than 60 is meaningless and waste of time and money. The key is to make the Bose loud enough to appreciate the beauty of its audio output. There is no surround and I don't need it. Of course I watch lots of TV shows and movies too. One thing I did is to turn the volume of Bose to no less than 65, even to 75 when I listen to classical music. In this setup, the Bose works as a subwoofer for TV audio and works marvelously good. My Samsung HD TV has audio control only for HDMI and Digital, but not Aux, therefore I am able to turn on both TV audio and my Bose Wave Radio at the same time. The radio works perfectly even today but I hooked it up to TV Aux output to enhance the TV audio (there are no TVs that can output premium audio without external assistance). I got this Bose Wave Radio (with CD player) from my sister as a gift more than ten years ago.
