Pros: Great sound! Not just loud, but QUALITY loud. Fits almost everywhere.
Cons: Its a speaker with the time on it. Lose the remote, your sunk.
The Bottom Line: If the sound is worth the money, spend the money on the sound. Goto the store and listen for yourself. If you get goosebumps, buy it. Otherwise, don't.
Pros: Bose engineers ensured I returned a very sleek unit.
Cons: Reduced features, poor unit reliability, inconvenient single-point failure remote.
The Bottom Line: Not recommended. Reduced features, poor unit reliability, inconvenient single-point failure remote, lack of repair service for abandoned models.
