Bose Systems
Hello all!
Tonight I was going through Apple’s website. I ran across speakers which were fairly priced and look good, and seem popular with the fans, so I was considering buying it. I went through some of the reviews of this product. It had a rating of 4.5 stars(average), which is good to Random Computer Stuff staff, as you may know. I continued reading through the costumer’s reviews and came upon this one person that said, “Good product, but I would wait for the Bose system come out.” Which stuck, I should just look at the Bose site, since this review was from March.
When I type in “iPhone” into the Bose search bar it said, “0 products have been found”. The thing I don’t get is, if apple has figured out a way for iPhone users to keep there iPhones off airplan mode, so you don’t get that stupid little noise sound in the middle of your music, why can’t Bose Systems?
I know you will come back at me, “Well Bose systems might be figuring out some way now.” Or, “Just deal with turning your iPhone to airplane mode.” Or even, “Play your other iPod.” Well these are valid points, all which I am having to deal with, though I keep my iPhone with me at all times, since it is my phone, I rather play it apposed to my other iPods, because i don’t have them with me the entire time. Then I would want to have my Iphone off airplane mode just in case something happens and a urgent call comes in or some needs to contact me. And then I don’t know, maybe Bose Systems are still coming up with a model that let’s us keep our phones off airplane mode, but either which way, Apple beat them to it, and let’s face it, that is a little sad.
SO this is more of a rant than anything I suppose, but just so my boss doesn’t get mad at me for posting a rant and not a review of anything, I am going to rate some of Bose Systems products.
We bought speakers that were about a month pre-iPhone, it didn’t say anything about the iPhone on the box or website or anywhere, so i give it a thumbs up.
Rating: Pass
Once we got a new Bose systems that said, for IPhone users a month after the iPhone release, we thought that it would work, but no where did it say that I must turn on airplane mode, so I was ticked. But yet it worked as speakers with iPods, which it did say . So i am splitting the rating.
Rating for iPods with product: Pass
Rating for iPhone with product: Fail - It said nothing about turning on airplane mood, which is miss leading.
Last products which I was really happy with. Bose head phones. Both the little ear phones and larger rap around entire ear head phones. We were quite surprised by what came out of both sets. The price at first we thought was pricey, but looking back, it was a great buy, and I would recommend them to anyone.
Rating: Recommended

This is a problem with the iPhone’s shielding. I found that when I used the amplifier on my headphones, it caused static, but when I turned of the amp, it worked without problems.
