Wave Bluetooth Music Adapter

Set up was easy to do. I had my iPhone, my computers (both desktop and laptop) and tablet up and running in no time. Just plug the Adapter into your Wave II or III system (note: read the instructions carefully that comes with the unit, the Wave II and III systems set up slightly differently). The Adapter doesn't have a power chord, it gets its power from the unit. That in itself is great and no need for yet another device plugged into your outlets! For those who are new to bluetooth as I was, the devices have to be "discoverable", so follow your device's bluetooth setup instructions carefully. All of my bluetooth enabled devices discovered the Bose Adapter easily. The Adapter memorizes 6 device settings...more than enough for what I needed. My laptop and desktop were not bluetooth enabled so I purchased the Medialink USB Bluetooth Adapter - Version 4.0 (Newest Bluetooth Version Available) Class 2 Smart Ready Adapter w/ Low Energy Technology - Windows 7 32/64 Compatible from Amazon and installed it on both computers. Both computers are Win 7 and I had no problem installing and getting it to work on either one of my HP computers (note:I did go the Medialink website and installed the updated Windows 7/vista drivers just in case. I probably didn't have to, but a few folks who purchased the bluetooth adapter mentioned that they had a few problems with installation on their computers with Win 7 on their reviews). As far as my tablet, my Toshiba Thrive recognized it immediately and had that operating in less than a minute. I have the Bose Wave III system. When I heard Pandora,Spotify and other music sites from my computers and my iTunes from my iPhone over the those Bose speakers, I was blown away! The sound is as incredible as the CD's that I play on the Wave III system itself. You too, will enjoy the great Bose sound you get from your devices compared to the inferior speaker systems on your devices! Finally, one more tip for the non-techie people like myself: If playing music through your computer, you will need to change a couple of settings on the computer itself. First, make sure that the computer setting is set for bluetooth (go to control panel,systems and security,then change to allow bluetooth devices). The other is make the Bose sysem as your main speaker output for your computer. To do that, go to control panel, then devices and printers, then change the speaker setting on your computer to the Bose system instead of the speaker default. If you don't change that setting, it won't play on your Bose. To do that in Windows 7, simply go to your control panel, click hardware and sound, then manage audio devices. You can change your playback device to the Bose system there. If you love your Bose system as much as I do, why just hear your CDs and the radio on them when you can use the Adapter to connect up to 6 of your audio bluetooth devices to it and enjoy that great Bose sound on all of them!

The Bose Bluetooth Music Adapter is fantastic. I gave this to my girlfriend for Christmas. She was getting a Bose Wave Music System III as a gift so this was the perfect compliment. Now she can listen to all of the music from her iPad on the new Bose. The set up was simple and it works perfectly. This makes the Wave Music System even better.

It simply did not work. I could not make it "discoverable" after connecting to Bose link. You are supposed to press CD button on remote for the Acoustic Wave Music System II until Blootooth appears on monitor. Well, it just tried to play CD no matter how long you hold the button. Of note, my music system is in perfect working condition. Frustrating. Will return.

We purchased this for our Wave Radio IV. It plugs into the boselink connection in the back and that's the only connection you need. Syncs with our MacBooks, iPads and iPhones perfectly. Takes a couple of seconds and off you go. Sound is good. The sound level is a little lower so you will have to go up in volume, but the sound quality is great. Easy set up. We've had no issues with range. We usually don't get further than 15' - 20' so I will vouch for that range of distance. Its pretty sleek and doesn't stand out too much. A little high in price but you wont have to connect it to a power source and its reliable.

I purchased this for Bose Wave Music System IV so that I could wirelessly stream music, movie sound, etc. from smartphone, tablet, laptop, or other Bluetooth device. Setup was easy. All I had to do was plug it into the Bose Link port. Since this external adapter can only pair one Bluetooth device at a time, I had to turn the Bose on, then press AUX to cycle it to Bluetooth. Once there, I pressed the 5 button to make it discoverable. Since it remembers the last device I paired, I did not have to make it discoverable again. However, if I wanted to pair a new device, I had to press the 6 key until the unit beeped (about 10 seconds) and then it would clear the Bluetooth memory and become discoverable again. One negative I did see with the external adapter is that the volume is about half that with Bluetooth enabled. What I mean by this is that a volume of 30 on the radio sounds like 15 when paired with Bluetooth. I found that I had to double the volume when using this adapter. In summary, it works even if it is a bit cumbersome to get use to and the volume requires an increase.

Works perfectly!

While this unit works fine and is a neat gadget it falls a litte short when it comes to features. having to turn your Bluetooth off and on to play another source is kinda troublesome. i think that the unit should be able to be programed to know which device is ready to be played and assigned some sort of code for each device. Other than that and it not showing whats being played on the radios screen it works well. It's just not something we'll use very often and might be a waste of 100 bucks..just my opinion.. Thanks

I have owned this adapter for about 7 years now and use it at least 5/6 times a week. I have it hooked up to a Bose Wave Music System II. It has worked FLAWLESSLY for all these years now. I have never had ANY connection issues, music distortion, or drop outs of any kind. I have totally got my money's worth! Definately "a buy"!

Get the right one -this one- and you can stream iPhone or computer. Easy to install.

Leider nicht ganz billig und nur noch gebraucht erhältlich, in meinem Fall für eine 15 Jahre alte Bose Wave. Funktioniert perfekt: Das üblicherweise als Zuspieler benutzte Mobiltelefon lässt sich mit der Bose-Fernbedienung steuern. Das geht mit der veralteten Docking-Station für iPods mit 30-Pol-Anschluss nicht, dort wird nur der Ton übertragen. Empfehlenswert, wenn mann eine alte Wave ins Streaming-Zeitalter retten will.

Great

Prinzess Helena hat pünktlich und perfekt die Ware zugesendet,super Service, Bose Adapter sehr gut 👍 Kann Helena bestens weiterempfehlen Vielen Dank 👍🫶

I bought a product for my Bose system so that it could be used to accept Bluetooth connections I was told it would work so I bought this product tested it out and it would not work , very disappointed. Had to send it back for a full refund thank you.
