Pros Looks good!
Cons Costs too Much and doesn';t have enough expansion possibilities!
Recommended it? Yes

Small with the power of some of the Big Systems! This is a Home Theater System that can be placed almost anywhere. Yes everything with the system is small, the biggest part is the subwoofer and you can just hide it somewhere like behind your couch.

The system can also be hidden out of... Read full review »

It's summer, and I have so much time on my hands when I'm not doing Kaplan! So, I decided to go downtown and also to some malls. I have already reviewed the Bose Lifestyle 25, and I have finally decided to check out their flagship system. The Bose Lifestyle 50. Well, now considering that "Bose is... Read full review »

Why you should not buy a Bose lifestyle 50

Pros Svelte design, looks cool. Multi-room sound control (with extra purchases)
Cons Piece of trash never functioned properly since it was purchased new.
Recommended it? No

I purchased my Lifestyle 50 in late october '01 from a reputable chain electronics store. From the beginning, there were nothing but problems. I needed to change the CD/Tuner THREE times for defects. The powered subwoofer needed to be changed TWICE. In the end we (store rep and myself) determined... Read full review »

I think this system must be a practical joke.

Pros Size, Remote Control
Cons Everything else
Recommended it? No

Overall, the sound produced my this sound system has nothing to offer. I couldn't say enough bad things about the lackluster, half-absent sound produced by the Lifestyle 50, so I won't start. Considering the cost, I think Bose is selling this system for laughs. If the system cost $600 I could... Read full review »

Not enough for $3500.00

Pros So called "All in one" system with great remote. Outstanding for music.
Cons If you are only playing CDs, great. But forget about movies.
Recommended it? No

At first I was pleased:
The Lifestyle? 50 Home Theater System looked like the best choice with a 6 disc changer and 4 source selection for multiple rooms. I like the remote and would think you would have a couple of those around the house wall (master bedroom, upstairs, outside). However, for... Read full review »

Pros Easy to setup, sounds awesome
Cons big $$$, only 1 digital in
Recommended it? Yes

I live in a one bedroom apartment and needed a good home theatre system. I didn?t have any audio components before, so I needed the whole package. It needed to be small, but also scalable when I move into a house. I bought the LifeStyle 50 and am very happy. For the price you get a complete system,... Read full review »

Pros Quality, aesthetics, sound, remote, cube size, 6-disc changer, instructions,...

Recommended it? Yes

Please don't be confused w/ irate reviews from people who claim to be audiophiles.

Take it from a person who's spent several years in the music industry both recording & performing, as well as spent years & years buying, comparing, etc. re: audio systems for car & home. I've been to the... Read full review »

Pros 4-Inch tall jewel cube speakers, touchscreen remote control, 4-room expandability,...
Cons Price, amplifier, no DTS (or any notion of Dolby decoding at all).
Recommended it? No

In the Bose outlet store the first thing I noticed was the sample theater they had featuring the exact Lifestyle 50 system. I was blown away by the sound and then I learned that the sound came out of speakers small enough to fit in my hand.

Contrary to Soupcraze's submission, the speakers... Read full review »

Pros Great sound for small system, CDs, Very cool remote, has "wifeability factor"
Cons Price, radio listening, non-learning remote.
Recommended it? Yes

Audiophiles beware?

Let's get something straight. I do recommend this system for most people. However, if you don't mind the tackiness of large speakers and you have the space, get larger speakers. It is is simple physics that state you will typically get more full-bodied sound with... Read full review »
