Is this radio really worth $500 ?? - GoFuckYourself.com

lil2rich4u2 · 08-03-2004, 07:51 PM

or this one for $1k+ ???

is the sound really that good? Even at high volumes?

how does it react to modern music?

hiphop/rap sounds good as well?

lil2rich4u2 · 08-03-2004, 07:58 PM

none of you bigshots have this thing??

isnt it suposed to be like the best thing for music since the guitar? lol

dnsmonster · 08-03-2004, 07:59 PM

Overpriced pieces of shit. Not worth $100.

Bose somehow managed to make general population belive that they can break the laws of physics and make small speakers sound good. Have you noticed though that Bose is never sold in stores next to other brands and places their producs in special Bose rooms? That's done so that you couldn't really compare it to other equipment. Also, next time you're in a Bose store being "wowed" by their sound, ask the sales guy to see their control room. I bet you won't see your off the shelf equipment there.

I bet you can get a $25 Ghettoblaster off eBay that will sound just as good as these Bose things.

rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lycanthrope · 08-03-2004, 08:02 PM

If it says Bose on it, it is decent, but overpriced...

xclusive · 08-03-2004, 08:04 PM

Bose is good yet overpriced it's just good marketing...Look at diamonds debeers has us all convinced that's it's the rarest thing on the planet yet it's just compressed carbon and it's all over the place it's just under their control...

lil2rich4u2 · 08-04-2004, 05:47 AM

alright so much for "filling my house with sound"

thanks so much for the feedback ...

johndoebob · 08-04-2004, 05:56 AM

Well Bose really has the best audio stuff, BUT the music mixdown and production quality for every CD you own has to be really good otherwise you won't really notice any difference between some cheap speakers and the radio.The production quality of chart hiphop stuff is normally as good as the money they make, but if it goes down to underground stuff and mixtapes forget it.The Bose radios are normally made for classical orchestral stuff.

EscortBiz · 08-04-2004, 05:58 AM

waste of money

Satisfaction · 08-04-2004, 06:13 AM

yeh they are awesome in sound but tend to be a bit overpriced as well..

strats · 08-04-2004, 06:19 AM

The only speaker company that gets so much as a dime from this god.

MickeyG · 08-04-2004, 06:21 AM

if you can afford it then get it. I'm happy with mine.

TheMob · 08-04-2004, 06:31 AM

i think it would make a great pussy magnet

kowntafit · 08-04-2004, 08:01 AM

Looks piss weak and over priced to me.

Yeah, Mackie is the shit. My uncle recently bought a couple of their "heavy duty" type speakers as part of his new DJ setup. Standing in front of the speakers at just a fraction of the maximum volume is just about enough to knock your fucking hat off, and the sound, goddamn, so sharp. Awesome stuff.

mardigras · 08-04-2004, 08:10 AM

I like having speakers in every corner of the room

NoCarrier · 08-04-2004, 08:10 AM

500$ clock radios?

Firehorse · 08-04-2004, 10:49 AM

Overpriced, but I have always been happy with Bose.

coolfuck · 08-04-2004, 10:52 AM

why do u like it so mutch?

Zerof8 · 08-04-2004, 10:57 AM

I dont think a radio can be worth a thousand dollars no matter how good the sound is

Then you don't have a good ear ... off course if you want to listen to boom boom it's not worth it .

I got a lot of musicians in my family and they are all equiped with fine sounds system ... they really see the changes .

Doctor Dre · 08-04-2004, 12:03 PM

Most of people don't even really LISTEN to music nowdays anyways ... we EAT it ...

There is always music everywhere so it's nothing special anymore .

A good or bad sound system don't make much difference for thoses people ... a good sub woofer does

Basic_man · 08-04-2004, 12:08 PM

Well, it's BOSE quality .. !

Nicky · 08-04-2004, 12:08 PM

hell no!! for $1k u can get a nice system with 5.1 sound......

Vitasoy · 08-04-2004, 12:09 PM

I have a bose deck in my car (came with it(, and it blows monkey balls

Marc P · 08-04-2004, 12:13 PM

I have one and use it for an alarm radio - the sound quality on mine seems pretuned to jazz - classical, which both sound great.

Everything else sounds so so however.

TonyL · 08-04-2004, 12:21 PM

Bose is all about quality and sound balance. Not about thumping bass or loud volumes. If you want a great quality system with excellent sound at normal listening volumes get Bose. I have both the $3k+ surround system for my theatre and the desktop CD player.

-Tony

en1 · 08-04-2004, 12:47 PM

no highs no lows....must be bose....

seriously though that bottom one sounds very fucking clear! you can find them for about 450 refurbed though.....

boneprone · 08-04-2004, 01:30 PM

I had to spend a fortune to rip out yhe Boise shit out of my Corvette and have it replaced with Alpine..

Fucking mess.

It wasnt a simple take the shitty speakers and deck out and put in Alpine. It was the fucking wires throughout the car as well.

They use a totally different ohm kinda wireing which makes it impossible to switch or upgrade to something that actually has some power..

Boise in the home may be ok, but in the car it fucking sucks. BAD!!.

No power at all. ZERO. And they are proud of that fact. If all you do is listen to jazz i guess its ok. But its very pussy like.

And when you want to upgrade they make it nearly impossible.

had to spend a pretty penny just to rip the wires out of the doors, the floor, and all over in the panels just to get regular wiring in so I could get a regualr AMP and Alpine speakers and a real deck in.

Fucking mess.

Pussy ass shit.

Pretty close..

Its great for the house. But not for the car.

Really fucking sucks bad.

you dont really need that much heavy bass or loud volume in a home to make it sound quality.

I agree, in the home Boise would sound nice..

But in the car audio world its a fucking joke.

Everything I own in all my cars is 100% Alpine system. Custom from the ground up.

The best.

lil2rich4u2 · 08-04-2004, 10:48 PM

BP thanks for that post, actually im big on car audio and noticed they offered it.

PS, even an external amp wouldnt help the situation?

thanks again

Lace · 08-04-2004, 10:57 PM

I love my bose systems in my house.

Boneprone: You're right, those bose car stereo systems blow.

As far as alpine goes, I like their headunits but it sucks when you've got all highs until you get the headunit up to about 18+ on the volume control.....

Id go with Pioneer for a headunit with a car...
