I have one. It's handy for me as I don't really have room for something bigger (nowhere unobtrusive to put speakers).


Sound quality is great to my entirely-untutored ears (but then I can't tell how rubbish the quality is in mp3 format) - but it can fill my flat pleasingly.


Only caveat is that some of the remote control buttons died (fairly crucially the on/off and volume buttons). To be fair it was after 3 years of use, but annoying as hell when the unit itself has no buttons. That said, the very nice man in the shop sorted me right out gratis, so I can't really complain.

I think RosieH nails it. For a small space, it's a good looking system and sounds good. It's unobtrusive and will give you some decent bang for your buck.


It's a little bit style over substance and you pay a small premium for that.


If it's going to be used in a big room and you have aural demands you might want something with more oomph.

I've had one for years, I do love it BUT it can be a bit bass heavy for talk radio.

( hmmmmm, unless vanessa feltzs' gastric band has dragged her voice down an octave )


Surprisingly good though for silly dancing after a few "refreshing drinks"


Anyone else tells you different is just plain jealous

Hmmmm.....For me, Tannoy speakers are the best. Women have a wider hearing bandwith than men (yes even you Rosie ;-) ) and pick up more mid frequency waves. Tannoy speakers are so good because they keep the mids crystal clear unlike many speakers that allows the lows to spill over the mids. If a track is badly recorded or mixed you'll hear it on a Tannoy speaker. You'll find Bose in most UK dubbing theatres, but in the USA you'll find Tannoy.

If you want something that's small, produces a lot of bass for the size, and you have a few hundred quid to spend, then these Bose things are just the ticket.


IMO the sound quality is very poor compared with proper hi-fi, but everyone has their own priorities I guess.

Sadly, mines a (ahem) vint-aage model darling.

( don't tell me I've wasted ten years without knowing this function exists )


You know, from back in the day we could only shout at the wireless, er I mean radio.

if you have an ipod touch or iphone i would go for a b&w zeppelin air, you can stream wirelessly from the ipod and use internet radio. I have the previous version and it sounds amazing

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
