Bose Lifestyle 5 stereo: my dog thinks it's a new family member!

byBeauregard Jan 13, 2000

Pros sleek design with crystal clear sound
Cons basic (one cd)
Recommended it? Yes

I bought a Bose Lifestyle 5 system 6 months ago and have for the past 180 days been thanking myself for the purchase (so has my once skeptical wife!). This is my first true performance stereo, having graduated from a boom box. I was lucky and found this for $700 on eBay, but would still feel lucky... Read full review »

Pros Blends in well with any decor. Good sound.
Cons Overpriced and speakers need to be well placed.
Recommended it? Yes

There are many who would argue about the pros and cons of using traditional full range speakers vs. using satellite speakers an a sub-woofer; however, the Bose strikes quite a good compromise, especially if you live in a confined space.

First, I wouldn't call the Lifestyle 5 audiophile... Read full review »

Beautiful--for a price...

Pros Tiny, beautiful tones from a CD
Cons Can't use other devices, $$$
Recommended it? Yes

We recently moved, and needed a new stereo system for a smaller living room. Without a doubt, the Bose is the absolute greatest system available for a small space.

The tiny speakers fill the room with astonishingly rich sound, and other models with subwoofers are just mindblowing... Read full review »

Pros Radio frequency remote works wonders all through home.
Cons Somewhat high price.
Recommended it? Yes

Hello, I just recently purchased the Bose Lifestyle 5 Music System directly from Bose at a Factory Outlet Store during their holiday sale. I live in an apartment and was drawn to the Lifestyle System's amazing small size and ability to blend in well with the decor. Yes, space was a serious... Read full review »

Amaze your friends

Pros Powerful, nearly invisible
Cons Need to add a pre-amp to attach a turntable
Recommended it? Yes

I think the neatest aspect of the Bose Lifestyles 5 system is its appearance is so discreet you can almost make the entire system vanish. Everything except the two small satellite speakers that mount on the wall is hidden, making your friends wonder just where is all that big sound coming from... Read full review »

Pros Great sound, awesome remote, simple to use
Cons expensive
Recommended it? Yes

It is no wonder why Bose is doing so well. This system was the best thing I ever bought. The sound that comes out of these tiny little speakers is INCREDIBLE! This unit comes with a powered subwoofer that you can place into any corner of the room. The two satellites are also adjustable so you can... Read full review »

Pros very small in size, elegant appearance, excellent sound
Cons price is a bit high.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought it three and an half years before at about HK$10,500 (US$1,350 equ.) in Hong Kong. This system still functions well upto today. The exceptionally small size of the speakers and the music center (CD player & tuner)impressed me when i shopped around. Then i tried it in a showroom. I didn't... Read full review »

Bose Lifestyle 5 Not Recommended for $1300

bynigeltzeng Feb 21, 2000
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros small and easy to hide
Cons over priced for the sound
Recommended it? No

I've tried the Bose and frankly for $1300 you'd do much better following the Buying Guide for Systems under $2000 (www.audiosystems.com/RecommendedSystems.htm) I found on this site.

For $800 you can do a NAD Music System which sounds better than Bose and is cheaper than the recommended... Read full review »

Pros Great sound quality, small, easy to use, plays DVDs, CDs, videos, and TV!
Cons NONE
Recommended it? Yes

Recently, I have moved houses. My families old sound system was very old, and was often broken, so we decided to buy a new one. After a lot of research, we decided we should buy the Bose Lifestyle 5 sound system, and we all have no regrets. This thing kicks @$$! Although the speakers are small,... Read full review »

Pros sleek, small bits on show
Cons not cheap
Recommended it? Yes

OK it's not for real audiophiles who like to add together lots of fancy boxes with yards of amazingly expensive connections. However ... if you want something that comes in one box, and it's easy to connect up and get going (took me 10 minutes), then this fits the bill. Oh yes, and it sounds very... Read full review »
