Based on transmission line speaker technology (fookin good) - I quite like em. Very big sound from something so relatively small.

My parents are looking at it too - but the IPod one (can't wait for the "tech support" calls about this!! )

Good bit of kit - IMHO

A friend has the I Pod system, very BIG sound from something so small.

Looking to purchase one myself

I was only looking at the Bose site last night at this. Bit too much for me at the moment with Xmas coming, but would like one later on next year.

so theyve stuffed a cd alongaside the radio ( which now has enchanced DAB )..! - dont know what it sounds like seems rather small and not exactly cheap

Apparition

Had one of the earlier models, found the bass too much. Sold it several years later for a very handsome figure on ebay .

£499 for a Radio CD, they're having a giraffe...

Yes, I've sampled one. It's ok for what it is: i.e as a replacement for a portable radio or mini-HiFi, But it is very expensive as well, so it should sound better.

It does give a big sound for its size. But it does lack very low bass - possibly drowned out by the mid-bass (expected - Bose's fabled boom for bass theology) , and it seems to lack in the upper frequencies (do they have tweeters? )

However, it won't sound better than a good pair of £100 Kef bookshelfers plus £100 amp and a £50 CD player.

It's no Hi-Fi, but most stuff in retail shops isn't either. If you want something small that sounds good, then the Bose will be fine for you. But it won't replace a big Hi-Fi

I'd agree with Shark Man, Ive got an iPod one and whilst it is impressive it doesnt handle lower frequencies as well as higher ones but a neat unit all the same.

You can get much better sound from conventional micro/mini/midi systems from the likes of Denon. Bose are a styling exercise dressed up as a sales gimmick. A lot of money for their capabilities, but pretty, if that's more important to you.

Mum and Dad have the older version.
Huge noise from such a small unit.
Dad also has the Acoustimass system (small cubes for mid and high range, bass bin for low range) and I have 301s. All good.
Bit of a Bose family really.
