Robert Abresch says
Circa 1997-2000. Age: late forties. Drummer/singer in a four-man, country rock band with usual equipment to set-up: large amp, four main speakers/stands, monitor, cables, etc. – you know the drill. Me? Roland electronic drum set for quicker set-up and portability. Total set-up time: 30-45 minutes (depending upon the gig particulars). Total breakdown time: 20 minutes (+). Band dissolved in 2000. Bought a keyboard, amp and four speakers, all the connections, etc., and tried to go it alone. For the next ten years, the routine was: load up all the equipment at home, drive to the gig, unload the equipment, hand-truck it to the gig site (sometimes up to 100 yards away), set everything up, play the music, break everything down, tote it back to the car, load it up, drive home and unload it. Take a nap. My friend, our old lead guitar player, I and our wives were visiting the outlet stores in Edinburgh, Indiana one Saturday afternoon in November of 2011, when we saw the Bose store. Stopped in and there was an LT1 unit. Regular Price: $999 On sale for $899. Not a rich man, and didn’t know if I could afford it. My buddy said … “You oughtta’ get it.” My wife said … ” It might make it easier on you.” Longer story shorter. Bought it that day, and never looked back. (Bought the T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine a short time later). Today, almost ten years later, here’s how I do it. I record all my music on my very versatile “Y” (I won’t mention the brand name) keyboard, record that music to my “Z” (won’t mention the brand name on this one, either) Portable Recording Studio. Burn the music to a CD and download that CD to my laptop computer. Since I’m the only vocalist, I record every song in a key I can sing along with. (Almost like a Karaoke set-up). Now I shoulder sling the LT1 tower extensions, grab my base unit in one hand and the laptop computer case with my mic and other accessories in the other hand, and walk in to the gig site. Set up in less than three minutes, tops ! I can say … unequivocally and without hesitation … purchasing the LT1 was the best $1000 bucks I ever spent. (Truthfully, the sound from the LT1 unit itself is so good, I seldom use the T1 ToneMatch Audio Engine for my gigs.) It has been a life-changing experience. Gotta’ trust these people at Bose. They know how to do it right ! Thanks.
Linda Elliott says
I have purchased Bose products for the last 20 years but this is the first time I’ve ever had to deal with their customer service department. They are absolutely horrible when it’s comes to receiving a refund from them. I have been lied to twice and have had to call them 4xs . Speaking to 2 supervisors then finally I asked to speak to a manager that was extremely helpful and thanks to him I will remain a Bose customer.
Linda says
I’m having the same problem as Linda
I bought sleep buds from Bose which I have subsequently returned. They informed me they received my sleep buds on November 21 and John said I would receive my refund in 6 weeks. Its been almost two months and still no refund I am now being told the package had been tampered with and the sleep buds never arrived. The charger was there but not the buds. Which makes no sense. I find this a bit suspect since I was not told this when I spoke to John in November. John said they had arrived. The only reason I found out, is because I had to follow up AGAIN at 7 weeks when I had not received refund. I returned them after John Roselli, GM Bose Corp. sent a letter that I could return them. Not great customer service when your team does not follow through on what the GM promised!! I have been given the run around and am now forced to take my issue to social media and hope Bose delivers on their promise.

Sir,
Thru this letter we wish to highlight our complaint towards the lacklustre attitude of BOSE stores staff of Bangalore & CP showing their negligence, neglect & slackness towards customers. In fact they are only trained being rosy & shiny towards the prospective buyers visiting the store & are totally casual displaying utter lack of knowledge in customer service.
This poor, pathetic attitude was never expected by us who are using different Bose products since last almost 12 years.
We bought a non-powered soundtrue ultra in-ear headphones from Bose CP Store on 17-11-2016 vide invoice no. 461011204, product serial no. 069738P61820638AE, item No. 741629-0070. Due to poor quality of plastic / material used, a crack has developed on the earphone.
While in Bangalore, we went to MG Road store. They informed that since this product is a non-powered speaker having warranty of 5 years, so, shall be replaced. For that we need to approach same store from where it was purchased & on showing original bill (which is a must), it shall be replaced there and then.
It took us some time to trace the bill of our three year old purchase. Finally we were able to locate it. On some work in Delhi, we came to Delhi and visited CP store yesterday. To our utter displeasure & disappointment, we were told that store deals only into sales & they do not accept items for service. We even mentioned that we have been guided by Bangalore store to contact you & that the reason, we have come all the way from Bangalore. Then the staff told to contact some Saket Service Centre. When we insisted that you keep the product & send to service centre, we were straight away refused for any help except of noting down our name & contact no. with a promise to call again tomorrow between 11.00-12.00 noon.
We had never in our dream could have expected such type of inconvenience.
We shall request you to kindly look into the matter on urgent basis & arrange to do the needful asap to maintain the name & goodwill of BOSE Corporation & products for which they are known form all over the world..
Thanks & Kind Regards,
SK Jain

Very disappointed in Bose. Definitely not worth the money. Bought my wife a Soundlink Revolve for Xmas 2017. Worked 3 or 4 times, now it does not charge. Bose store people saying Bose as had all kinds of problems with this products battery, and the battery needs replaced. Sent it to the repair shop, got it back and tried it— it worked. Plugged it in and tried to use it again…. same thing does not charge? Called and CS said the repair center (see RMA S060548771) said there was nothing wrong with it, all they did was upgrade the software. The paper I received back, shows they replaced 7 parts. In any case, this is a $200 paperweight. Everyone said Bose was they best … you will not be sorry, – well I am sorry because I could have bought a lot of cheap speakers for what this cost. I do not think Customer Service is very helpful, there is a lot of background noise as well. I am not seeing any reason why people think Bose is a good product or company!!!
Estela Barrios campos says
very angry with the service I got a multi CD player, Bose doesn’t have it any more so they can fixed it so I got the insults they offer me a $20.00 discount for a nd adapter the cost in the store is $149.00 so I send my multiple CD player back to them I pay $129.00 and they will send me the adapter I’m very confused for a corporation like Bose this service is unacceptable
Bernice Bennett says
Please help. I have sent my bose 2 times to be repaired same problem still exist. This Bose is not 3yers old. The problem is the radio will play about 2,3,or 4 hours and just stop playing. The same with the CD’S. Also the clock lose time.
I thought Bose was the top of the line in radios. I owned a Cambridge radio for 15 years never had a problem during those years. When it went out I decided to purchase a Bose. Boy am I sorry I did.
Rich Wilson says
I have two original wave radio’s purchased in the 90s. The sound stopped working on one of them, and I’m told by Bose that its not repairable. A $350.00 radio should last longer than 21 years. I have a Panasonic that’s 50 years old and still working. Apparently your products just don’t hold up, after reading all of the problems above. Just to let you know, I’ll never buy another of your products. You are living off of your past reputation and that’s such a shame. Sears Roebuck’s has done the same and are about to go out of business.

Your customer service has dropped a ball since 6/5/2017. I ordered a replaced Bluetooth device and it been over a month, your customer no service doesn’t want to help. I was told they can not overnight a product but it’s your mistake. I want this solved today with a phone call which I have sent many emails to you.
Neil Munro says
I had the great misfortune to call your Dutch office this morning to speak to a Mr Dam. On enquiring if the offered discount of 20% could apply to ex flying instructors/airline pilots I was advised that I had to show I as currently flying it would not.
As I had lost my Professional license some years ago I have not been flying. Now advised I can apply, as a diabetic, for a PPL.
It appeared to be beyond this man that we have a chicken and egg situation here. To renew my license I need to fly. To fly I need a headset. If I have a headset why do need another?
Beyond him. He also thought that airline pilots had their own sets. Not in BIA they didn’t. You had fresh cotton covers that you fitted at the beginning of the trip which you removed at the end. How many airline pilots do you see at airports with cases, suitcases and headsets? Not very many I suggest.
Completely unable to think for himself, in my opinion.
I have two words for BOSE, David Clarke.
Hanna Bready says
Never have I experienced such bad customer service. Being placed on indefinite holds seems to be the only way the customer service agents know how to deal with issues. I would like someone to contact me immediately re order WH02111654. If I do not hear back before COB today (12/8), I would like to cancel my order and get a full refund within 1 business day. Honestly, worst client care I have ever experienced.
Abe Borenstein says
What happened to Bose ? From my first pair of 901 speakers in the late 70’s until today I used to believe that Bose stood behind their products. I have had very few instances that equipment was not up to performance and when it did happen you had technical support to speak to the same day. On a few occasions the equipment could be upgraded for a reasonable price. Today I experienced the slippery slope of “pass the buck”. Spent close to 2 hours getting circle jerked and no a single soul(ful) who wanted ownership of the matter. This after just a few weeks where I had been told to call back after a representative said there was not a substitution product available but would be happy to do so when it was available.After the first hour a ‘supervisor” named Mars called and left a VM, OMG! now I am back on hold again into 27th minute with no end in sight. Yikes !!! they just came back on the line with another story, They can not track the call I got! Bose has fallen down the slope and no one wants responsibility. Bring back the old days when the person who answered the phone took great care in being certain that you were happy before you got off the line. Here’s the kicker, I have recorded lines and would love to transcribe them and deliver it someone who counts….I sure didn’t speak to them today. Make Bose great again!

I am a truck driver for swift I have been driving for three years my husband has been driving for over 12 years. We were to pick up a load in pheonix facility. In doing so your security officer I formed me to park in front of trailer not under it. Which I did. In a matter of minutes your employee the yard dog came up to my husband and said thanks for parking in middle of yard. Then left. Then he returned a little bit later and began berating my husband calling him a backwards hick swift driver.

Hello
I own 3 Soundtouch 20s, 1 Soundtouch 10, 1 Soundtouch Amp and 1 Soundtouch 10.
The sound from these machines is great. The ergonomics great. The software RUBBISH. I have had the systems and added to them for 2 years. They were new when I bought in and I believed that the software would be fixed, as it is clearly junk. It has only got worse.
Here are some issues:
== software updates don’t work, thus the software gets out of date and stops working.
== I have tried manual software updates, the system still wants to update.
== the Soundtouch app does not work well and does not connect to systems that are on my network and operate perfectly with airplay!!!! So Apple can run your systems but you CANT! What!
=== internet radio works and then stops working
Here is a suggestion
=== immediately fire the head of software and his team. Rebuild and restart. NO HISTORY NO FIXES. Fire someone and email me his/her name, I will feel better.
Now the kicker
I WASTE 10x MORE TIME ON BOSE SOUNDTOUCH than all of my other cell phones, iPads and IT combined.
Please FIRE them, please fix this
Thanks

Robert Negri says
What is ” moderation “? Is that another way of saying Bose will screen my comment and if it is negative you will not post it? Do you only post the positive comments? Please advise.
Atikacuh says
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program () Although I have a nice Sony Bravia TV, the sound can be a liltte disappointing. This is especially noticeable when we watch BluRay versions of movies like A Bridge Too Far or The Battle of Britan the TV begins to vibrate and buzz when the planes fly over. However, not being an overall audiophile, I had no desire to install a surround sound system with five speakers. I was looking into getting a sound bar when I discovered the Bose Solo TV Sound System.The Bose Solo is a single box, roughly the size of a standard DVD / BluRay player; the dimensions are 10.25 x 20 ; the TV is placed on top of the Bose Solo. Not having to find additional shelf or floor space for the speaker is definitely a plus! According to the package, this is designed for TVs up to 32 and in some cases up to 42 . The base of the TV must not overhang the Bose Solo, or else the TV may be unstable and fall. However, the base of my 46 TV fits on top of the speaker box with room to spare.There is a very small, thin, flat remote control that comes with the Bose Solo ON, UP, DOWN, PAUSE/OFF. According to the Operating Guide the unit can be operated with a Universal Remote as well. But since I don’t have a Universal Remote, I will have to add another remote to the growing collection on the coffee table.Hooking up the Bose Solo was simple once I located the corresponding jack on the back of the TV. There are only two connections to make 1) the power cord, and 2) either the analog (red and white jacks) or optical digital audio cable. The optical digital cable is recommended for best sound quality, so I wanted to use that but had no previous experience with this type of cable. The ends of the optical digital cables have protective plastic shields which must be removed before installation, and they are fairly small. It took me some time to find the optical digital cable jack on the back of my TV. I was finally able to locate it when I turned off some of the lights in the room, and then I saw the red light coming from the optical jack! The connections on the back of the Bose Solo are well labeled and easy to find.Once the TV and the Bose Solo were connected, I turned on the new box and heard some kind of distorted sound echo. A quick trip to the troubleshooting FAQ in the operating guide informed me that the TV sound should either be disabled or the volume turned all the way down. Once I disabled the TV sound, the sound coming from the Bose Solo took over.My personal testing included turning the Bose up to full volume. The sound filled the room and in fact could be heard quite nicely from other rooms, too. I put in my go to BluRay, The Battle of Britan no distortion, no vibration, no hum. (The lack of vibration is even more impressive when you consider this rather large TV is balanced on the speaker itself!) I also listened to music from classical to metal and everything sounded beautiful! I then went back and forth between the sound from the Bose Solo and the sound from the Sony Bravia only the Bose definitely has a richer sound with more bass; the TV now sounds a bit tinny by comparison. The TV volume can be cranked up higher, but the higher it goes the more distortion and vibration come through the Bose certainly cranks up high enough to fill a room (and possibly the entire house) and there is no distortion. Although the Bose instructions explicitly state that the TV volume should be OFF, I also experimented with the Bose Solo and bringing up the TV volume to just under the point where echo kicks in, and thought that sounded great, too!The bottom line is that while the Bose Solo won’t take the place of Surround Sound, it greatly improves the experience of watching TV and movies with a richer sound quality than the TV alone and no distortion or vibration. Since it’s a single box that fits under the TV base, it doesn’t take up additional space on the shelf or floor. It’s very easy to install add the power cable to the wall and the audio cable to the TV, and you’re done!Highly recommended!

To Bose management : (concerns and suggestions) Bose is one of the best electronics/musical company on earth. Your products have gained reputation all over the world. It is surprising to me that you continue to make your products some with 120 voltage majority, instead of with multi voltage 110 to 240 to accommodate your foreign customers. It does not make sense for a great company of this manitude with good products not to meet customers needs. Customers have to buy step down to hook on Bose equipments to use in countries with high voltage. What will it cost the company to incorporate this into your products. Thanks, Friday Odey. 1 609 372 ****. Email ***@yahoo.com.

Dear Sir
My name is Robson Hall and I live in Alaska, over the years my wife and I have spent a lot of money on Bose products only to find when you have a nfl competition you exclude Alaska. I do not enter competitions, but as I’m a Pittsburgh steelers fan I thought I would enter. We do love your products, but I just had to get this off my chest. It is just as easy to get from where I live in Alaska, as anyone from New England.
I do appreciate you reading this email and thank you for such good products.
Please have a Very Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.

Felicia Thomas says
I purchased a bose right ear bluetooth for my phone and I paid $150.00 for this device in November of last year for my birthday. I had to send this product back because it had connection and or sound problems and it was a defective make issues about A few months. It’s now been about 8 months since I got my new one and I’ve had so many more problems with this product plus what I already expressed. The thing is from my knowlege bose is a company of excellence and I received less then that with this product. I believe if you pay a decent amount on a product it should last. I refuse to cheap out and buy bose and I feel like I should have went to your competitors at least I wouldn’t feel chappy if it had been awful I would’ve chalked it up to it was badly made. This is unacceptable for bose and I hope that it won’t just be swept under the table and not rectified. I don’t want a coupon for a few dollars off because I feel like you should replace a product you stand by. Since ive had this new Earpiece I’ve had to play doctor with it. I had just chalked it up as another company that lied to its customers. The more I thought of this issue the angrier I got.I felt used and lied too. So I decided to contact your company in hope that you are what you claim to he. I hope I didn’t waste my breath as well as my money.

We had purchased a Bose Wave Music System in December 2010 from your store in South City Mall, Kolkata, India. The price was Rs.35,000/-. We expected that it should have worked smoothly for at least 5 years. Unfortunately, right from the start, it has been giving us trouble. We had to visit your Service Centre in Camac Street few times to get the same repaired. In fact, we had also written to you during one such incident. It appears that this piece itself had some technical faults right from the manufacturing stage. Now we are back to square one – the system has again gone bad. We again went to your Service Centre. Over phone, they have given us an estimate of Rs.14,000/- for repairing the system. When we countered them, they said that they will waive off the Service Charge of Rs.1200/-. This is absolutely ridiculous. Imagine paying Rs.14,000/- to repair a system that cost us Rs.35,000/-. We do not feel that the product is as per the International standards as BOSE proclains its products to be.We are frustrated with the product and truly disappointed with BOSE. We are a working couple and we do not have time to run behind your people constantly for repair. Please do us a favour and take back the system and give us another system that will work. In case you feel it is not possible, please at least take back the system and use it for your R&D. We will think that we have donated something to BOSE for their R&R initiatives and we will be spared the mental harassment of seeing a system that we bought with high hopes and expectation of having some great music, just lying idle in a corner of our room. We expect to hear from you at the soonest.

I may be blowing hot air in a black hole, based on what I have read above, but here goes……maybe someone will contact me and get me out of this nightmare I am in with an almost useless computer (mine) that I was left with from your tech support people remotely accessing my computer on July 11th @ 7:58pm.
I went to one of your store locations in Illinois. I told the salesperson exactly what I wanted, what my perfect idea of music on the move in my house and patio. He suggested the Sound Touch system that I could access through my home Wi-Fi set up. So, I purchased this product and it was about 1 month ago.
From the start – problems…….First the software would not load…….tech support said I needed an additional router and one would be sent at no additional charge. I received it, called tech support and got it set up. It worked for 1 week, then it would cut out or stop streaming (it had nothing to do with my computer settings). Called tech, now I need a range extender and that will solve all my issues with connectivity, again sending at no charge. Got the unit about 6 days later, the system could not connect; worked with 1 tech person, then another, then a 3rd. The 3rd one went into MS DOS and whatever he changed, lost the remote connection, all internet connection, and my computer screen went black. I have NO FILES, NO SOFTWARE PROGRAMS, and now I am logged into a temporary user.
In order to fix my computer I have to pay $300.00 to remove everything on my computer and re-install EVERYTHING. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????????? I AM SUPPOSE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR SOMETHING I DID NOT DO TO MY COMPUTER? All I get from your tech department is ‘sorry we can’t help you’. Seriously? They render my computer useless and I am suppose to pay another company to fix something I did not break? That is not how I live……I don’t expect someone to pay for something I did, and, conversely, I expect someone to pay for something they damaged.
So Bose Corporation, I am giving you a fair opportunity to fix what your support staff broke via giving me credit toward the unit I bought to offset the cost I must now pay to have my computer brought back to life.
I expect a reply within 3 business day, if not I will start an online campaign…….not a threat, I just want you to understand I will not let this just slide away. Stand up and take responsibility for the wrong, do the right thing, be a good corporate citizen. After all, did the supreme court just not mandate that you are now people too? I think that means you also cannot hide under the corporate banner. We can see, won’t we?
Kym Martin says
I have been an avid fan of Bose technology for over 35 years, firstly through entertainment and staging sound technology through to home systems and also specifying exhibition sound systems into visitor centres through my business Martinsintegrated.com.
I was stunned last Saturday when I entered the Hilton Bose store in Adelaide, South Australia to discuss an issue I had with my Bose Soundlink Air Music system that has ceased to work.
Steven Athanasiou, the sales consultant, when asked about my issue chuckled, then said that this model has been withdrawn from the market because it has been a problem with the software. That, by the way, was the second time I had been in as I could not get the wi-fi to sync with my iphone. I then added that my unit was not responding at all and that it could be the battery (which I had bought after the initial purchase). He then stated that he did not have a spare power cord and that he was not able to help in ANY way as it was not under warranty.
I have never had such poor service in any brand category let alone a high end product like Bose. I spend a lot of my time giving lectures on brand integrity and the importance of service and this is down there with the worst treatment I have ever encountered in a in-store environment.
I entered your store with a 35 year bullet proof customer loyalty and walked out feeling completely and utterly confused and let down. I then went home to a house without music.
This letter is 100% truthful and I have a witness that is happy to provide further details if you wish to persue the matter. As for me, If I choose to buy what I consider the best I expect to be treated with a level of respect that I would give to any of my clients. Please feel free to contact me should you wish to understand more about this this matter.

I have tried for almost 4 hours today to reach SOMEONE in customer service about changing the info on my bank card for my account. I have called (repeatedly) each and every number on the list. I even tried calling the Corporate number–NO SUCH LUCK. I recently bought the Bose Wave Music System; I absolutely LOVE it. my problem is this; without being able to reach someone; how the devil am I going to let them know about the changed/NEW info on my bank card so they can make the automatic withdrawal for my payment from my account. Good gracious, would someone help me?
Richard Lawrence says
Sunday, Dec 8, 2013, I drove 60 miles to your store in Michigan City, Ind. I tried to explain to the ylung female sales person what I was looking for. I needed a receiver . Not a home unit that she was trying to push. Just a receiver. I am an African American male in my 60’s. She told me she could suggest one but it was expensive. $500.00. She assumed because of my race I could not afford it. I already have one Bose system and wanted to invest in another. But she decided what I could or couldnt afford. I make over six figures a year. I could afford anything in that store. But I will take my business elsewhere. Tell your salespeople that all money is green, no matter what the color the hand holding it is. A FORMER CUSTOMER.

I bought a Bose sound dock five years ago, it worked fine for a while but only with the remote now it as ceased to work at all for a product that is supposed to be at the top end of sound technology I think is very poor.
I contacted Bose customer support who said that they could repair it for £80 pounds! I will not be taking up their offer and not buying another Bose product.
