Over All Rating: 
Price: $1,799.00 (currently priced/price may change) Return Policy: The Bose Lifestyle 28 Series III DVD Home Entertainment System comes with a 30-day FULL money back guarantee from original date of purchase. The product also comes with a limited 1-year transferrable warranty. Brand: Bose Model #: 40431 Recommended Merchant: www.amazon.com About The Product: With all its unique characteristics, the Bose Lifestyle 28 Series III DVD system is designed to deliver premium performance and elegance into every home entertainment area. It comes with the ADAPTiQ audio calibration system which delivers well-distributed surround sound presentation while offering greater alternatives for speaker placements. ADAPTiQ is a proprietary technology that analyzes and adjusts sounds based on dimensions, speaker placements and preferred speaker locations. The media center features an integrated DVD/CD player, an AM/FM digital tuner plus the Bose link home networking technology to create a compact hub of an entire home entertainment system. This technology enables the connection of compatible Bose products to the Lifestyle system for sound distribution in as many as 14 other rooms or even on the exteriors of your home. A horizontal center channel speaker locks dialogues on-screen while Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays blend easily with your home design to provide elegant and efficient sound distribution throughout a room. The redesigned Acoustimass module is even better with its newer design that's 30% smaller than the previous model but packs the same features in reproducing deep, resonant notes. And if you still have your TV and film classics on VHS format, the Lifestyle-28 DVD system features an integrated suite of signal processing capabilities, including Videostage5 decoding circuitry and digital 5.1 decoding. |

Our Verdict:
The Bose Lifestyle 28 Series III DVD Home Entertainment System stands well because it is so easy to use. Although most argue that it can be quite pricey, you can't argue with its looks, the lack of wires, RF remote features and the overall ability to easily position and control all your equipment. There's nothing better than BIG size sounds in a small package since typical home theatre set-ups can be quite bulky and obtrusive. Wiring on the Bose Lifestyle 28 Series is well hidden and the AdaptIQ feature is sensational in adjusting sound tuning to the overall design and structure of your home entertainment space. It's a great home theater system for an apartment or a condo, or just about anywhere needing great sound quality without the bulky eyesores of traditional sized systems. |

Customer Feedback-
"I like the speakers because they're small and unobtrusive and the sound is crisp and clear. It's amazing the sound that you get from these little speakers when watching a movie with a lot of action and different sounds. More than once I heard a dog barking or a phone ringing in a movie and thought it was coming from my home instead of the movie." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "Excellent, I can't stop using it... I have listened to many others home theaters brands, but nothing like bose home entertainment system." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "I bought this system a few years ago and have never regretted my purchase. The first time saw and heard it was in a crowded electronics store, out in the middle of the floor, terrible acoustics and lots of noise all around. They had the unit sitting on a display with two arching arms going back over where I stood in front of it and maybe 9 or 10 feet behind me. The sound was amazing, even in that environment." - Actual User Review - Netmall.com "Of the all the Bose lifestyle systems this is the best fit if you can turn down the need for the internal storage and jewel speakers. It has all the other Bose features. It still carries a price. But you are receiving alot in the product. The setup seems simple as it goes for a surround sound system. There is no other comparable compact DVD/Receiver system." - Actual User Review - Audioreview.com |
