Bose Lifestyle 48

Pros: Sound, easy to listen to, easy set-up, highs and lows are respectable.

Cons: Pricey. Larger speakers offer better range.

The Bottom Line: It's a good system, but for a set market. A family will sure enjoy this system, and whats more... you cant tell the system is installed.

Review: I'm going to try and write as best I can about my Lifestyle system, the reason I paid the money I did for it.. and why overall it isn't a bad system. I'll also explain what I dislike about the system. First of all, I'm not a newbie to speakers. I've ...

Pros: All of your TV shows are in surround sound, Movies, Sports, and Video games,

Cons: Price is high, but than the old saying that you pay for what you get.

The Bottom Line: Go to the Bose Store and hear it before you buy, And when you get it home and set up (RIGHT)it's sounds just like it does in the store

Review: I had heard of Bose, and I got a chance to hear it and I was ((wow)) by it for the size and sound. Movie,Sports and Video games is just so life like it unreal. I'm very happy with it. Anyone who is reading this should go hear it first before you knock ...

Pros: Looks, sound quality, processing, bass, sturdy build-quality.

Review: I have no idea what these other people are talking about, but this system sounds and looks absolutely astonishing. It has the deepest bass, clear highs, and great compatibility with my video i-pod. The DVD/CD player is amazing. It stores tons of ...

Pros: Balanced sound, accurate base, full midrange and silky highs. Great calibration software.

Cons: None for me.

The Bottom Line: Return policy makes trying it in your home at no-brainer. Read the critics but ultimately listen to your ears.

Cons: Expensive but I have two years to pay for it with no interest.

Review: This Bose system sounds great for movies and music. Watching movies on DVD look fantastic. This Bose product is very easy to setup and use. I bought this system because of limited space in my two story family room. I have a forty inch high ...

Pros: Brilliant sound. Access to anything in your collection within seconds.

Cons: Haven't found any yet.

Pros: Great sound, Expandable, Compact, one component does it all.

Cons: Maybe alittle pricey. But then show me another system this small and punches heavy weight.

Pros: Small footprint in a living room. Somewhat ok sound for the size.

Cons: LAN jack is not active

The Bottom Line: I would wait for the next system.

Review: I've had LifeStyle 48 System for almost a year. I was very excited to buy it. At the begging the sound was great until I heard other speakers... The size of the systems is great - small compare to other systems. Bose is doing a relatively good job as far ...

Pros: Love the great sound from compact speakers.

Cons: Everything good canceled out by known bugs because Bose won't spend profit to fix it.

The Bottom Line: $4k is too much to spend on a system with this bug. If you must have a Bose system, buy a speaker system but use another DVD player.

Review: I've had 2 Bose lifestyle systems over the last several years and have always found it unbeatable to get great sound from such a small package. However, my first Lifestyle system 25 did not have a DVD player, so I wasn't aware of the issues surrounding ...
