Cons--a bit pricey, weak FM reception by using the AC line cord as an antenna, cheap on Bose's part for NOT supplying a dipole antenna. C'mom BOSE!!! Maybe the AC linecord works great as an FM antenna in some areas but not out here in the county in KY!! The biggest con is the remote control. It controls everything with the the exception of touching the top to turn on/off, ALL functions are contained in the remote. No control panel on the unit itself. Keep a spare remote just in case. For these reasons I have to give it 3 stars. Bose went high tech on one end and cheaped it out on the other.
Addendum---the parents have one of the first Wave Radios that came out many years ago and it is still playing and performing admirably. Some engineering changes over the years as one would expect. The III is physically larger due to the re-engineering of the waveguides. And the old unit doesn't require a remote since all the controls are in a panel on top of the unit. The longevity is there!! Same scheisty FM reception necessitating an external antenna.

I got this radio for work. There is a lot of work noise and this radio cuts though it very well and no need to turn it up to loud to hear it. There is also no bass control to be turned up and distort the sound. A lot of radios have a hard time to get good reception in the building, this one works very well. I did get the external antenna but I do not think I needed it.This was ordered for Christmas. Delivery was very quick. Of course this Bose is the best of the best. You get what you pay for.A bit pricey for a radio, good sound, but they really need to come down off the $$$. I guess if you like paying for a name then this is it.We love this radio. It gives excellent sound quality and is very easy to setup. The sound projects beautifully through the room.
