Bose Lifestyle 28 Theater System

Pros: Versatile, life like sound, small, high performance and feature rich.
Cons: Costly but worth it.

Bose Lifetstyle 28 DVD Home Theater System

This theater system is actually quite a bit less than the Lifestyle 35 that we were originally wanting. It was $3,000 where the Lifestyle 28 only cost us $2400. Six hundred bucks...

Pros: Small, easy to operate
Cons: Cost vs. Performance, generally bland sound

First off, I should state that I work at a major electronics retail store in the home theater department. Every single day, I try my best to put on a happy face as I show customers the multi-thousand dollar Bose packages available. As far as sales go, ...

Pros: Small size, ease of use.
Cons: Unclear sound,muffled bass, ridiculous price. No progressive scan. No component inputs. Limited inputs/outputs.

I recently started working at a higher end Audio/video store. I've worked at other big chain AV stores before but the audio selection at my current job is much wider. At my previous job, Bose was the top of the line and I thought it sounded great. ...

Pros: Ease of set up; unobtrusive speakers; easy remote use; great sound
Cons: None

This is written by a dinosaur who made the $1999 purchase in June 2007. The store then had a $200 discounted price (rare for Bose products) three weeks later but they honored the 30 day price guarantee and returned the difference to me. So, my cost was ...

Pros: None
Cons: Poor Quality, Materials, support. Technology that is outdated. I fell for it

My wife and I purchased this system mainly as a matter of convenience. We've subsequently removed the system and sold it via Ebay. I'm no audiophile, but I learned pretty quickly that with the Lifestyle system you get poor quality with a big price tag. ...

Pros: Fantastic Sound, Does Everything Well
Cons: Funky Wiring Layout, Pricey

About Bose
Before I type another word, let me simply say that in 21 years of owning Bose products, I’ve never had the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with them. As an example, in 1980, I purchased a pair of Bose 901 speakers from the PX while...

Pros: all-in-one system
Cons: glitches galore

I purchased the Lifestyle 28 system after an impressive live demo at an electronics store. On getting the unit home, I found it to be missing one of the two users manuals, and the software driver. After receiving it in the mail from Bose a week later, I...

Pros: All in one system, Easy setup, Plays all of the latest formats.
Cons: Very Pricey for what you get. Outdated software updates.

I was not going to buy this because of the price and some of the negative feedback but I bought this ...

Pros: Great Sound, Small footprint, Bose reputation. Everyone loves Bose
Cons: Pricey, bass could be a little better

The Bose LS28 is the last home theater system that you will purchase for years to come. First of all, the sound is awesome. I must be on the up and up and admit to you that I am a salesperson for a mid to high end electronics dealer, and I am not partial ...

Pros: Sound quality, set up-easy, versatility, looks great too.
Cons: a bit pricey, wouldn't mind an extra feature like slow-motion, or the progressive scan

I bought the lifestyle 28 (summer 2004) after listening to a couple of other systems at a few places. Always wanted to hear what they were like. Must say up front that I am not a professional or expert on audio equipment, nor do I work for any retailer ...

Pros: Small, smooth sound, All-in-One
Cons: Price, placement of sub

System is easy to setup and configure. Speakers are small so they won't
become another piece of furniture to arrange.

For an all-in-one unit Bose is a little pricey, but deals can be had on
ebay, watch out for fraud, never send...

Pros: ADAPTiQ Audio Calibration System, amazingly great sound
Cons: I can really hear how well or poorly CDs & DVDs have been recorded

I've owned lots of audio products over the years, and played with lots more consumer and professional equipment. I know that lots of time and effort goes into designing and using recording studio equipment, mixing the audio, pressing the CDs, and...

Pros: Awesome sound, Small size, Cosmetically appealling
Cons: DVD not progressive scan, Not listed in universal remote lists, cost

I was tempted to get a "real" home theater system from Yamaha, but when my wife saw the size of the speakers she freaked out. Due to the fact that our family room is the nicest one in the house, I agreed that big black speakers would be better left...

Pros: Beautiful, space-saving design; excellent sound; simple on-screen menus; plays DVDs
Cons: glitchy, relatively high price

I had wanted a Lifestyle System for many years, finally purchasing a model (Lifestyle 28) with an integrated DVD player. The media center is impossibly small, and constructed of aluminum. I have a small apartment with little or no room for a stack of...

Pros: - Sound, size, usability, expandablity, customer care
Cons: - Price, get addicted to Bose products

I am listening to my Bose Lifestyle 48 right now and am loving it! As our electronics employee says- Bose customer tend to be loyal. (Iam also assuming a little smarter than the average elecronics store employee). Oh...Audi and Porsche OEM Bose ...
