Retail for this Bose is "$500   (now $310 at HSN)

Am I missing something here??

"Bose® Wave® Music System IV with CD Player and Radio"  (Color:  Espresso)    ( 796-141 )    (Free S&H)

@JoyFilled Warrior   They're discontinuing them and are trying to get rid if them.  I got one a couple years ago and wish I had my money back.  The technology in this thing is so archaic that I'm constantly frustrated with it, plus I've found that there are few radio stations to which I can stand to listen.

I get better sound quality from my my old 250 watt stereo system  from Wal-Mart.

AHHH. Thank you for *pinchiing me. 

I thought it must have been *some reason* for such a reduced price!

I've been wanting a Bose for a longgg time.  Guess not!

I have a Bose I've had for about 10 years and it still works and looks brand new.  Haven't had any trouble with it and the sound quality is wonderful, to say the least!!

I don't listen to the FM radio too much.  Mostly CD's as i still own them.  I've never been disappointed in anything Bose, and highly recommend.

l paid $500 for my bose , really nice sound but the cd player stopped working , disappointed because l played some beautiful instrumental music on it .

I love my Apple Mini speaker.  It works with my IPhone and was $99--but you probably can find other speakers cheaper and with the IPhone it is so easy to connect and many of this small units sound great.

I have had a Bose for many years and get much enjoyment from it.  I have many CD"S and play them often and the sound is as clear as it was when I first bought the Bose.  I am tempted to buy another one at that price.  Quality product.

love my BOSE and the oldest ones are about 18+ years old now.

i have a few and all are still working.....no issues with the CD players either.

i would absolutely purchase them again if i needed one, especially at that price. the sound quality is excellent. i also have an amazon alexa device attached to one of them.

From the very first one I listened to years ago, bought by a friend, I never liked the sound. I have listened to many over the years, and not much has changed. 

I won't use the word "archaic", but it has never been "music for my ears". And then the price? 

Bose was a big name in speakers years ago, and in my decades in audio, I think that is where the name Bose, and quality started. Many of my friends bought Bose, think they were 301 models, and they sounded good to me, just too expensive for my taste.

Some love 'em, but this audiophile, has never been one of them.
