Bose Lifestyle 28 Series III DVD Home Entertainment System - Black

I bought this item not along ago. Today I went to the Bose website to register my product when I put in the serial number it comes up Bose lifestyle 18 and when I bought the product on Amazon it was the lifestyle 28 series III dvd home entertaiment. I can't believe that amazon will put an item from one of the sellers and the they will send something else. Of course now it's to late or try to get a refund they only give 30 days. My advice to anyone that is going to spend a lot of money on the system verify first if the company is legitimate.

Listen - I know deciding on a system is a difficult thing to to do. I speak from experience as I've owned high end equipment and now this Bose Series III. Everyone who states that the sound quality is not brilliant is absolutely correct. I knew that going into the purchase. If you are one that is difficult to please when it comes to audio quality, stay away. If, like me, you know what excellent sounds like but are ok w/ pretty good and you want a system that is a snap to install, a snap to operate, a snap to expand, looks great and takes up very little room....this is your baby.

I have this system in my living room w/ a pair of speakers on each of 2 patios and in my master bath, each w/ a separate remote (the patios share one remote). I can run 2 sources at a time - easily. No muss, no fuss. No wires and no massive speakers taking up the corners of my living room. Hit FM before I hop in the shower and listen to tejano (it's a recent fad for me) while my wife watches TV in the living room - good to go. I know you can have this set up w/ a more complicated system to do the same but this was much easier...and my wife can operate it without a problem (she's very intelligent BTW but hates wasting her time w/ this stuff).

I was after good sound quality, outstanding design/construction/customer service and ease of use. It beats the pants off my previous system which sounded much better as I enjoy using it so much more - it is as non-obtrusive a system as you can get.

In the end, ask yourself what you are really looking for. 3 stars for sound quality and 5 stars for everything else - and I am impossible to please. Enjoy.

All I can say is, "Thank you Amazon," for offering such a great product at such a great savings. My husband and I researched the net and stores thoroughly before purchasing this equipment. What we found was that we could save several hundred dollars by going through amazon.com. We love our new system simply because it is everything that we were promised that it was and more.

I spend at least 3 months doing some research on which home theater system was the best for me. well after trying some brands that, according to the whole internet, are quite superior to Bose, and some super cheap configurations that according to some reviewers (from other sites), where better than Bose, I ended up coming back to my choice number one from the very beginning....BOSE lifestyle systems...

My friends have "yamaha", "sony", "klipch", and all the additions you can put on those HT's, but I was no satisfied. maybe it was their configuration, but the sound starts breaking after a couple of minutes after playing in higher volumes, DVD's whete OK in the sony, ang good in the yamaha, but blue ray disc soundtrack was horrible in both of them...


tryed a magnolia 1000 dollars worth from BB, andit was good, but not what I was looking for.

then decided to put some more money in my investment and ended up buying my Bose lifestyle system 28 series. I am totally satisfied. the Bass is not cheesy neither booming, is perfect. tremble was adjusted in a little lower setting, and the ADAPT IQ did the rest...since I have the bose VS-2, the DVD resolution is excellent, and sound is powerful, crisp, NORMAL (not timpanic membrane breakingly abnormal), CD playback is excellent. Playing games is a pleasure, with sorround sound, Dolby digital via optical cable...I also have a logitech squeezebox duet connected to it, and works astonishingly, with the coaxial cable connection...

well I do not know if thiis HT system was made for me, but fullfils all my entretainment demands, in one single package, easy to install and configure, and no matter how you try to hide the it (for nobody to judge just by the brand), every guest I have had, have made comments about the sound (it doesn't matter what we are doing in front of the TV), somebody notices a difference for good.

An advise is: NEVER READ REVIEWS from the interner about this brand, because the ones so called (I did not have enough money, so I decided to write a bad review instead), are WRONG. It is a grear HT and if you have the money available, get one of those, and you will forget about all those difficult to use configurations and systems that work partially.

note:
the good: great sound better that everithing else around, easy to use and set up, excellent support service, and does what it whas meant to do.
the bad: pricey, bose shuld invent "WIRELESS SPEAKERS" (all 5 of them) because cables aren't easy to hide.

all in all, bose is a matter of afordability, but if you can afford it, GET IT

excellent , i can't stop using it... i have listened to many others home theaters brands , but nothing like bose home entertainment system
