Not happy with Bose

Does not fit my Bose Wave. approx. Bose is 15-20 years old. There is no connector on the back of the radio. I've given up trying to solve it. I have bought a number of Bose products in the past and have always been satisfied, but this situation confuses me. Why would Bose make such a good product (not cheap) and not offer the option to connect an antenna? Reception on this $500 radio/CD is terrible. I really have no idea why Bose doesn't have a connection to screw the antenna to the radio. Hasโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Can I add anything

Plenty of room in hell for 5 star reviewers!

About as useful as Stevie Wonder's reading glasses! I can't imagine why almost half of the reviews given are 5 stars. Perhaps this is a passive-aggressive attempt to make other buyers feel as dumb as they spent $25 on a 6-foot speaker wire soldered to a connector. I think I could also improve reception by putting a wire tag in my ear and whistle. SHAME ON YOU BOSE! And think of the money I've spent on your systems over the years! This is absolute POS and complete plagiarism! I'm mad it wasn'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Lots of things

Glue aluminum foil or hangers.

The Bose Wave my dad gave me has poor radio reception unless there is very strong signals in your area. Away from the city, it's just a paperweight or bookend. I invested about ten dollars in hopes that the factory antenna might give something other than half a signal from a cowboy station 23 miles away. . . EPIC MISTAKE! Stations that I can receive in my car in my driveway do not generate any noise on the wave, even with this antenna. You can get the best antenna for free at dry cleanersโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Useless features

Dissatisfied customer about AV accessories

When we ordered two of these antennas about a week ago, we didn't realize that the one we needed was a plug-in antenna and the other was screw-on. We left the plug on; But when we sent another one back for a loan, we found that it was not eligible for a loan or a refund. Buyer warning! I think Bose really must fool the little 72 year old lady. You need money more than me. I'm not mad at Revane at all. We love Revain and are proud to be Revain Prime customers. Shame, shame, shame, boss! Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Works well with Android smartphone. FM radio tuner

I don't have Bose products; I bought it to use with my Android smartphone. For years, many Android phones have included Qualcomm chips with FM radio tuners, but major service providers in the US initially forced phone makers to disable the feature to force customers to pay for the additional data usage for streaming. Over time, providers began to remove this restriction, but the technical snag remained: smartphones require an external antenna to receive FM frequencies. If you're listeningโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • This worries me
