This site is the first Bose Wave IV charm rhyme 4 official replica US purchase experience, out of the box and a simple evaluation (feat. Bose Bluetooth audio receiver)

A few months ago began to remove Zhang Aunt, has been diving in silence to absorb everyone's experience. In order not to reach out to the party and to treat lazy cancer for many years, she specially shared her Bose Wave Music System IV that she bought in August and took a box drawing but has never written an open box and evaluated it. Is called the charm rhyme 4?). It seems that the title is a bit long. The following official introduction begins. Please do not mind the language comparison.

This article, @ Viking's magic introduction should be III generation, but I feel the appearance and IV is really the same, so my article can be regarded as the site of the first sun ha ha ha

Purchase background and information

In the summer vacation, when I went to the US UCLA to exchange, my mother said that she wanted to buy a small but sound-quality audio player in her living room. As a Bose powder, I checked on the official website and discovered more than 5000 wonderful rhymes in the country. 499-599 knife. Of these, 499 are for CD, radio and aux only, and 599 are available in two versions: One is an additional support for online music playing sites such as Spotify and Bluetooth, and the other is a Bluetooth audio receiver.

This corresponds to the 499 knife version.

This corresponds to 5999 knives.

It can be seen that the conversion rate of 499 knives was only around 3400, and the maximum tax rate was only 3,800. This difference is still quite large.

Considering that sites such as Spotify are worthless in the country, but it feels necessary for Bluetooth playback, so I chose the 499 version and plan to return to the country and purchase another Bluetooth audio receiver (I will talk about it later).

Just when visiting LA's Outlet, there was a Bose outlet. The WAVE IV had a Factory Renewed version, which was also known as the official refurbished version. It only used 449 knives. The clerk told me that the official look was exactly the same as the new one in terms of appearance and quality, and at the same time enjoyed the one-year warranty service from the date of purchase. Therefore, he decided to start with trust in the quality of American shopping.

The price included tax is finally 485.95 knife. Calculated according to 6.67 exchange rate at the time of 3242 yuan .

Go back to the hostel to prepare your photos for unpacking!

Unpacking!

I estimate that the total package weight is about 6-7KG.

Packaging information:

The information on the label and the sticker below indicate that the purchase is an official copy.

The size of the box compared to my iPad mini2

After opening is a brief description (the first picture) and instructions, audio test disc (second picture)

This is the power cord. I saw the sign behind the machine. It looks like it does not support the domestic 220V voltage. Therefore, I need to purchase another transformer. I bought one on Taobao, and the quality was good. When I bought it, it was 79 yuan, which was bigger and heavier than I thought.


Only to find out how bad I was at the time... This is a comparison of bare metal and remote control and my qc25. The camera is actually not big, but it is much heavier than it thinks, because the magnet inside the speaker is still very heavy. From this we can see that the sound quality can be expected! Talking about the sound quality.

Because at the time forgotten to follow more details, in fact the details can be seen from the beginning of the article, the interface and details of the third and fourth generations are the same. Although it is an official version, I have carefully observed the appearance, no scratches, no traces of the interface, including remote controls, batteries, and plugs.


Select Bluetooth Audio Receiver

The separate Wave Music System IV only supports CD playback, radio, and aux input, but now people do not listen to songs on mobile phones, so Bluetooth is a necessary factor. Therefore, I decided to purchase another Bluetooth audio receiver.

In addition to the aux, Wave's interface has a unique Bose link interface, and there is no universal fiber interface. However, this Bose link interface is also a lossless digital signal input, but only supports Bose's own products. The aux interface is an analog input and the sound quality is inferior to the digital signal input.


Because you can not put Taobao's link, you can only put the official website.

The first is the aux interface, and the second is the Bose Link interface. Here are two differences.

The first is the power supply problem. The aux interface requires external power, while the second does not. Then the aux interface does not support the remote controller to control the bluetooth switch, which means that the switch must be manually switched, and the second one directly controls the switch and the connection through the remote controller. In terms of sound quality, the digital signal interface is also completely better than the aux interface, unless you are a fungus.

In summary, of course, the second one is chosen, and the face value is much higher.

I personally purchased it on Taobao, bought the Bose link interface, 99 new unpackaged money, only 480 yuan. After receiving the basic appearance of new scratch-free, or very satisfied. Everyone is interested in searching on their own.

Simple sound quality assessment

In the end, of course, the most important part of the sound is also the most subjective part: sound quality.

The first time I heard the sound quality in the store, I was really taken aback. I didn't expect such a small speaker to emit so much energy, but this is one of Bose's specialities, just like when I first listened to Bose mini. . The high frequency is relatively rounded, the midrange is mellow, and the low frequencies are also quite powerful. Of course, it is not as good as a home theater with a subwoofer, but it is not as good as Bose's Acoustic Wave series. Although this price is expensive, but I really think that the low frequency is weak...


However, Bose's voice is processed. If you listen to a more complex music such as a large symphony, the sound may be awkward and the resolution is not enough. However, listening to popular music and the likes of adults and adults like Song Zuying are all stress-free.

When my mother listened to the folk song fever CD at home, the sound quality, the female voice sang my heart trembling... Bose's sound quality for the general public, the first time to listen to is absolutely amazing, even if you are fungus. That's right, I'm Bose dead loyalty hahaha.

However, to point out that when using Bluetooth to play, due to cell phone decoding problems, the sound quality can not be compared with CD. But if it is a mobile phone to play lossless music, the effect is still much more than MP3 format! Better than Bose Mini (this is not nonsense)!

As for the radio function, I purposely tried it. It is better than a car radio. If the signal is good, bass also has a good effect. However, the only regret is that the country cannot show the names of broadcast programs like foreign ones, but it is not injurious.

The last few supplements

The Wave IV comes with an alarm clock. You can set up two alarm clocks to turn on the cd or radio to wake you up. This is still very convenient, but because my home is a living room, I haven't used it much.

My living room is about 50-60 square meters, and the sound volume is already very loud, so don't be afraid to worry about the effect because of the small size of the sound. Small speakers, loud sounds, good results, is Bose's good show.

If you need a small speaker that can meet the needs of the living room, or put a sound in the study bedroom to enjoy your favorite music, then I think Bose Wave Music System IV is definitely your best choice!

The first time I wrote the original, I felt that I had written it very confusingly, and the photographs were not good enough. Please excuse me!
