Presenting the Wave™ music system III—the latest evolution of the product that changed our perception of home audio. Its bold, detailed sound remains exceptional for a system of its size. Now, there's even more to like.
An advanced FM/AM tuner displays useful information like song titles and artists. Touch-top on/off/snooze controls and dual alarms make waking up a little easier—for both of you. You'll appreciate these welcome additions, plus the same lifelike sound, elegant finish and easy operation you've come to expect from this system.
A system that grows with you
The system's versatility is right in tune with the ways we get our music today. There's a built-in FM/AM radio and CD player for standard and home-burned MP3 CDs. With optional accessories, you can also enjoy music from your iPod or iPhone—even your computer, tablet or any Bluetooth® device. This system adapts to all your musical needs, and endures because of its unmatched sound.
The Bose technology difference
This sound, from prominent lows to crystal-clear highs, is the result of unique Bose innovations working together. Proprietary waveguide speaker technology combines with other Bose technologies to deliver performance well beyond the speakers' size.
Waking up has never been easier
One of the best things about getting up in the morning is not getting up … right away. We've made snoozing easier than ever. When the alarm or music comes on, just tap the top of your Wave™ music system III. No remotes to locate, no buttons to press. So easy, you can do it in your sleep.
And dual independent alarms let early birds rise without having to reset the wakeup time for a late-sleeping partner.
Simplicity by design
The Wave™ music system III is meant to be enjoyed right out of the box. Just plug it in and you're ready to go. Its sleek appearance is uninterrupted by buttons—the invisible touch-top controls supplement the convenient slim remote. There's a 3.5 mm (1/8") auxiliary input for your MP3 or other portable player, and a headphone jack for keeping the music to yourself.
