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!

Arrived earlier than estimated. Install was easy. Works like a charm. Great Mother's Day gift!

I really researched this item because I own a wave II player (before bluetooth) so it plugs in perfect. It would not link up to my player. Called Bose... the tech tells me it wont work with my unit. i will have to pay 80$ for another adapter (my unit plugs in perfectly) I go online and find there is a cd Bose can send me (for free) to update my unit which will allow my player to except the unit. "Money rules everything around you yall!!" Too much owner involvement for the cost of the adapter... .. .

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 love this small compact Bose Bluetooth device! I was missing this feature on my Bose wave system, but this option fixed our concern of not having the option of listening to Bluetooth music. Now we play music straight from our iPhone. Thanks to the seller for making sure my Bose wave radio was compatible with this device.

It works great and I appreciate the instructions included along with a note that says if I had questions I could call. I didn't need to because everything was as detailed! Thank you so much!

Was over price, but was needed due to Bose, Soundwave system was not bluetooth capable ability.

Though advertised with working with all Bluetooth devises without cables cords or CDs, it is not true. Previous versions of it came with USB adapter and remote. Also will not work with non- HD version of Kindle Fire. There is no compatibility list on amazon or Bose sites, so call them first to make sure it will work with your equipment. Finally, to return product they require you to pay for shipping by trackable method and insure it. This from a loyal Bose customer who has purchased numerous top end products from them for myself and family members. They thought the shipping policy was worth losing a customer.
