Cons Not an intuitive user interface
Recommended it? Yes

We received this system as a wedding gift. Having already enjoyed a Bose Wave radio for the past 10 years, we coveted this bad boy when we saw it in a Bose showroom. The sound, of course, is mindblowing. The ease of setup, amazing. Ease of use.... eh. We still haven't mastered the navigation of the... Read full review »

Pros Sounds great - Solid, well laid out remote - Compact, Simple to use!
Cons Ethernet Port not utilized - Doesn't play VCD/SVCD, DivX or SACD - MP3 navigation...
Recommended it? Yes

This 2.1 system delivers more stunning surround effects than the Sony 5.1 system it replaced, and the sound clarity is much better. It's not a thumping, rocking-out system, but it's very crisp and clean.

UPDATE: After a couple more months of use, I've discovered that the surround sound is... Read full review »

I have had this system for about 7 months now, so hopefully I have experienced all I can and offer you my full personal opinion about the Bose Lifestyle 38.

Pros The versatility of the system is the biggest asset. The technical support is outstanding.
Cons The biggest downfall has been the inability to load MP3 tracks. I HATE THIS!
Recommended it? Yes

We work from home and were listening to music through our NuTone intercom system. Although we could connect CD players and MP3 players to the NuTone system, it was only a monotone unit. After meeting with several vendors about the retrofit of a whole house stereo system, we elected to purchase the... Read full review »
