Hi. I’m Ian Noctor.
and welcome to AdoramaTV. today we're going to be looking at
the Bose Wave SoundTouch Music System.
The trend for sound systems that are small in stature but big in
performance continues
with this piece of kit, the Bose Wave SoundTouch.
Its about the size of an old 2 in 1 tape and radio machine from back in
day
but it's crammed full super technology. It comes with the option
of a CD player, but in this day and age I wonder why they even offer that option.
If you have a subscription to Spotify, or are planning to sign up to Apple’s
music streaming service,
then every CD you’ve ever bought is there for you
at the touch of a button. That being said for early adopters and for those of us who
have long ago sold or given their CDs away,
Bose have a version of the Wave SoundTouch that doesn’t have a CD player.
That would definitely be my choice. Why pay for functionality that you don’t need.
Use the money you save for a streaming subscription.
Speaking of buttons, they are conspicuous by their absence
on the Bose WaveSound Touch. There’s not a single button
on the whole device, with the exception of a button on the back
to reset the wireless. The touch-top controls for
on/off/snooze are completely invisible. This system fits virtually anywhere in
your home.
It will sit perfectly on a side table or entertainment centre,
or you can enjoy Bose’s high-quality, room-filling sound from high up on on a shelf.
Place the system on the opposite side of the room from you and you’ll be amazed
how Bose’s speaker set up fills the entire space
with deep rich sound. Getting set up takes just a couple of minutes.
You’ll need a smart phone or a computer, and a wifi connection.
Download the app, follow the simple set up instructions
and you’re ready to go. The Wave Sound Touch has an auxiliary
in jack as well as the CD, but its streaming functionality is where
it comes into its own. In all the time I had the system
in my house I never once felt the need to use either, because it is so easy to
utilise the vast
universe of streaming music to fill your room with
its rich deep sound. If you are a lover of radio
and I am, playing internet radio through the Wave is a sinch.
DAB stations are also catered for,
and if you’re old school and like to listen directly through FM or AM,
the Wave caters for your tastes too. The song and station information appears on the
large visual display,
with adjustable brightness and automatic nighttime dimming.
The Wave doesn’t have Bluetooth, but again I didn’t miss it
because the way in which the wifi is set up means Bluetooth
Bluetooth isn’t necessary. The only time I used the remote control was to adjust the volume,
because it is more sensitive to minor increases and decreases
in sound level than the volume control on the computer
or smartphone screen. The Wave SoundTouch also doubles
as very high end alarm clock. For snooze control addicts
there’s no fumbling around trying to find the snooze button.
Just tap the top of the Wave SoundTouch.
No remotes or buttons to locate. There’s also a very clever dual independent
alarm set up to allow early birds rise without having to reset the wakeup time
or a late-sleeping partner. Nice. And practical.
Setting and changing the preset stations couldn't be simpler.
When it comes to music, you know what you like. That’s why
the Wave SoundTouch system remote features six presets
hat can easily be set and changed directly on the remote
or with the free SoundTouch app.
The Wave SoundTouch system features the legendary performance
of the award-winning
Wave music system. Patented waveguide speaker technology delivers clear,
size-defying sound
you won’t expect from a system this size. As well as the Wave SoundTouch system
there are two other great options for you in this family - The Wave
Music System III and The Wave Radio III,
both great options to suit your musical preference and budget.
If you love great sound, if you love streaming music,
if you love a really well thought through interface, then this
is the system for you. I love, love, love the
Wave SoundTouch, and I’m pretty sure you will too. Thanks for joining me here
