ASIN: B00006AL0K

Amazon.com Product Description

The Bose Lifestyle 50 listening system was designed to replace the appearance of a rack of conventional audio components with its palm-sized wireless Personal music center remote control, which is smaller than a videocassette. The system has other components, of course, but most are meant to be hidden from view. Tiny Jewel Cube speakers no bigger than a computer mouse replace room-filling loudspeaker cabinets, blending elegantly with any decor. A hideaway Acoustimass module (subwoofer) delivers full, deep bass for movies and music. The rest of the system--including AM/FM tuner, a full-function 6-CD changer, and the cables and connections for up to 4 rooms--can be easily tucked out of sight.

The Acoustimass bass module uses a technology that launches sound on a column of air rather than directly pushing air with a vibrating cone. It delivers full, natural bass sound without distortion--all from a compact enclosure, which can be located anywhere in your room (perhaps behind a curtain or under a coffee table). This means you'll enjoy the same quality of sound wherever you're standing or sitting.

The award-winning Jewel Cube speakers are the most visible components. The product of more than 40 different innovations and technologies, these speakers are about the size of a computer mouse, yet they're capable of filling a room with rich, lifelike sound. Their patented signal-processing technology automatically adjusts their tonal balance, ensuring your audio programs always will exhibit full, deep bass and clear, natural vocals at any listening level.

The touch-screen Personal music center, the heart of the system, communicates through radio frequencies, unlike infrared, sight-line dependent conventional remotes--so you don't have to aim it at other equipment for its commands to work. The remote's intelligent simplicity uses layered touch-screen menus to indicate and control functions such as radio tuning (with 50 station presets), track programming (up to 50 tracks in one sequence), volume adjustments, source selection, etc.

The Personal music center can control powered speakers positioned in different rooms (additional-room speakers not included). Or, with the purchase of additional Personal music centers, multiple users can simultaneously operate up to 4 different music sources--say, a CD player in the living room, a television set in a bedroom, an AM/FM player at the patio. For multiroom listening, Bose recommends its Virtually Invisible 191, 161, Acoustimass 5, or Acoustimass 3 speaker systems.

The Lifestyle 50 is also equipped with a digital signal processor called Videostage 5, which heightens surround-sound realism for both movie soundtracks and music recordings. The Videostage decoder processes analog formats--as well as 2- or even single-channel PCM and Dolby Digital bitstreams--and helps to deliver movie-theater excitement right in your home.

A feature called Digital Dynamic Range (DDR) compression automatically monitors and adjusts the system's level to let you to hear soft sounds, particularly dialogue, while preventing you from being overwhelmed by loud special effects. This is especially useful for late-night viewing, freeing you from having to constantly adjust the volume.

Dolby Digital decoding delivers up to 5.1 discrete audio channels (that is, 5 for the independent Jewel Cube speakers and 1 for rich bass from the Acoustimass, or subwoofer module) from DVD, digital TV, advanced cable boxes, and digital satellite receivers.

What's in the Box
Personal music center, a CD changer, a multiroom interface, an interface power pack, 5 Jewel Cube speakers, 5 speaker cables, 1 Acoustimass module (subwoofer), an AC power cord, 14 self-adhesive rubber feet (4 for the module and 5 pairs for the Jewel Cube speakers), an audio input cable, a CD changer cable, a stereo cable, 4 AAA batteries, an FM antenna, an AM loop antenna, an AM antenna base, a CD magazine, a Lifestyle system CD, and a test CD.

Rare, impressive Technological Achievement.......2004-09-09

To be honest, I haven't yet owned a Bose Lifestyle 50 Home Theatre System but I had heard it in a demonstration in a Bose Store and I couldn't believe my ears then. What impresses me most about Bose technologies is that I haven't seen a speaker as tiny as the cube jewels featured in this system and similar Bose Lifestyle systems that can handle 100w (RMS) of amplification power. Speakers this size by other manufacturers can handle power as high as 45w (RMS) which is still below half the power-handling capabilities of Bose cube jewels. This difference alone demonstrates how superior Bose technologies are to the other speaker manufacturers'.

I know that the LS50 is discontinued right now by Bose but the new LS48 is now available and I will save for it. I'd rather spend all my fortune on one piece of Bose products than spending $150 on an inferior audio product.

Worth the green.......2002-11-05

Ok first of let me say this. If you are looking for a system that has THX go else where. But let me also add this, I work in the movie bizz, so I have a good bit of know how and what when it comes to things like this. THX, and you can ask a dealer for your self, is only trully heard when its set up by a pro, hense a home system that bosts THX, will not sound as good as it does in the theaters, this has more to do with room layout etc then the system.

Bose are masters when it comes to audio, short of having a theater built in your house, this is one of the best systems you can get for the money, it has all you need. Granted it could offer more but so could any system that you look at.

I have heard THX on this system and belive it or not it does work. Again not as well as in a theater but still its damn nice.

I recomend that if you are looking at this system that you go to your local high end audio store, and bring the following. a dvd that has DTS or the like encoded on it, 3 cds of differnt types of music, i recomend rock, classical, and techno. But the key is the difference.

Now sit down and listen to all of the things one at a time. Try this with other systems that you are looking at and I am sure you will find that the bose is one of the best out there.

Also look at onkyo and nad but you will have to by more compents and speakers to get what you get in this package. Adding to the overall cost.

Optical cables are a must, that or the best cables you can get. Also keep in mind that the rear speakers should be higher them the listners.

Lifestyles of the Misinformed.......2002-10-21

What does the average consumer expect when they pay [this much money] for audio equipment? To be impressed, no less. Most people will be in awe when they listen to the Bose Lifestyle 50. They expect no less from a company like Bose. I, however, expected more.

My first disappointment is with the speakers. I didn't expect THX certification (a symbol of excellent audio quality), but the Lifestyle50 packs the same speakers from the cheapest Lifestyle setup. 2.5" paper drivers. Where does all the extra money go? The subwoofer is still passive instead of powered.

Then there's surround sound. It has Dolby Digital 5.1 (DD5.1) and Bose's proprietary Videostage5. DD5.1 is standard surround sound. It separates audio from front right, left, rear right, left, center, and subwoofer. The separation of channels provides a better movie-like experience and better sound quality. DD5.1 audio is the standard on DVDs. Videostage5 is odd in the sense that it divides the stereo signal into even more channels. The results are mixed, and often I wondered why it was there.

What it doesn't include is DTS5.1, or Digital Theater System. It is a step up from DD5.1. It provides much higher quality, but isn't available on all DVDs. When you find one that does you will enjoy it for every BOOM in the movie. It also doesn't include 6.1DTS, 7.1THX or any other features you would expect from a [$$] setup.

I lay in disappointment. I could get a receiver, speakers that at least had tweeters, and a subwoofer for one-fifth the price. Don't take my word for it. Go find a professional Bose Lifestyle 50 review with something positive to say about it. I'll go return mine.

Good and the Bad.......2002-08-03

Bose products are usually expensive and some people argue that they can get a better system at maybe half the price. Now it depends on various parameters on what their evaluation is based on. For me, any music system is good which gives you the utmost pleasure in listening.
This Bose product comes with 5 pairs of Jewel cube speakers which are a little different then the regular speakers taht Bose offers with their speaker systems. They give you more clarity of sound - you can almost hear the fingers strumming on the guitar strings, the breathing of a singer and complete surround sound where it is available. You can easily find the difference when you play the Bose and another music system side by side and listen to the same music piece.
The set up is extremely simple. So if you hate tangling with wires and pushing in knobs and buttons for that perfect sound, then this system is for you. But if you are into graphic equalizers, and are addicted to lots of ports and want a receiver which will be the control center of your Home Theatre then this is not the system for you. The Bose system does allow you to connect your TV, DVD player and VCR through the system but that is about it. You will not find any additional ports in the system.
So for that price, I think you will not regret anything about this system - the most impressive of all is the size of the speakers and the range of sound that emits from them.
I am sure you are gonna love them.

Ticking time bomb.......2006-05-09

I used to like this scanner except for the excessive amount of dust previously mentioned in other reviews, then, I unplugged it. I tried to plug it back in and it would not work, the twain drivers were not recognized. After reinstalling both the scanner and twain drivers per epson's 5 day late response it still would not work. I suspected compatibility issues with Photoshop or Fireworks, uninstalled those programs, removed any reference to twain extensions or epson from the registry to no avail. I plugged in a co-worker's scanner which worked immediately. Epson probably has some of the worst software coders I have come across. Finally, I solved the problem, running it over with my car ala Office Space.

Worked GREAT.. at FIRST!.......2004-12-29

Okay.. had I posted a review for this scanner within the first few months of owning it, I would have given it rave reviews a-la most of the other reviews here. I'm glad procrastinated. I noticed dust starting to appear in my scans. At first they were negligable, easilly mistaken for a spec on the picture itself, but I can fully attest that over time the dust will accumulate under the glass and your scans will have a considerable amount of noise. Sure your software can clean it up, but a quality scanner shouldn't make you do that manual work. So in short, I only recommend this scanner if you love dust! I wouldn't take it for free if someone gave it to me! The only reason I rated 2 stars instead of 1 is becaus it did work well for the first few months. After sitting, it's become useless to me.

I have no complaints about this scanner!.......2001-12-17

This scanner replaces an old UMAX scsi scanner. From setup to first scan this scanner is a breeze. My wife uses it everyday and it hasn't given her one problem. It's fast, reliable and worth every penny.

Fast, sharp...DUSTY.......2001-11-09

An excellent scanner worthy of 5 stars if not for an inordinate amount of dust on the underside of the platen. I had been warned about this by previous customer reviews but decided to purchase one anyway with the hopes that mine would be different. Wrong. Thank goodness for Photoshop's Dust & Scatches filter which corrects the problem, though obviously does not solve it. Methinks another scanner is warranted...

Fast, crisp . . . DUSTY.......2001-11-08

A great scanner with excellent features that would have rated 5 stars if not for and excessive amount of dust on the *inside* of the scanner glass. I read about this problem from previous customer reviews, but decided to purchase it anyway, hoping perhaps my scanner would be dust-free. Nope. Thank goodness for Photoshop's Dust & Scratches filter which puts a band-aid on the problem, but obviously does not cure it. Methinks a replacement scanner is warranted...

Customer Reviews:

Looks good - But thats all..........2006-04-07

Very disappointed with the performance of this phone from ATT. Speed dial is useless, you need to press so many keys it is easier to look up the number. Caller ID only works on one line at a time. The keypad locks up once in awhile and requires pulling power from the phone to make it work again. Sometimes the phone "senses" a call waiting and mutes out the caller's voice for a few seconds at a time. And the last is the best; when answering a line, the phone will sometimes (not often) conference another line in and I get to speak to my customer on one line, and we both listen (at the same time) to a loud dial tone from another.
Final opinion: A hand crank phone is better (we have more than one of these phones, so these problems are consistent). After 6 months of ownership we used these phones for target practice and purchased GE phones. Now they make good phones!!

Flat out....these phones suck!!!!.......2004-08-23

We purchased 3 of the AT&T 955 phones for a small business. After about a week, they all have had their quircky problems.

1. One of the handsets broke, luckily they actually sent me a new one.
2. Occassionally when you pick up line 1 line 3 lights up (seems to be a common problem).
3. The lines "hum" periodically. After contacting the trouble shooting desk, they recommend I get the jack replaced,well, it still does it.
4. They do not work well with cordless phones, the lines do not release, unless you do it manually.

I am in the process of returning these and getting something else, they ARE NOT DEPENDABLE.

Horrible!!.......2004-07-10

Guys, I've owned this phone now for one year and let me tell you that this phone has constant problems. Sometimes when I press the number one line, both the number one line and the number three line will light up!! That's right, two lines come on at the same time!! I regret the day I bought this thing.

They work well but are not perfect.......2004-06-22

I have 2 AT&T 955 telephones and 6 AT&T 944 phones in a 2 story house. I purchased some new and some used from various sources in 2002. We had to return one phone when it was new, but all the others worked. We like several of the features *very* much (paging, especially) and wouldn't consider switching to other phones at this time but we've definitely had our share of problems. Two handsets which originally worked no longer work (and it's not the handset). We put them in rooms where the phone isn't used often and just use the speakerphone. We also have 1 phone where the display gets garbled. If you briefly unplug it from power, the display corrects itself but messes up again after several incoming calls. When you page a phone, it automatically uses the speakerphone. My son's phone recently started humming until he picks up the handset. Until he does, I can't hear him, but he can hear me. We have almost double the length of phone wiring that these phones are supposed to support so we're pleased the system works as well as it does despite the handset and display problems we've experienced with multiple phones.

We bought 2 phones for our home office on march 23. 2004. The 2 phones have been returned 7 times. Today, we will get full credit from Staples for the phones:

Problems 964: Bad handset . New unit actually was a repakaged unit in the box with a factory seal. Caller ID failed. Did not record calls. Had to reset numerous times. Got a replacement unit. This was a new factory sealed unit.

Seemed to work fine. tried to use the conference feature tieing 2 lines together. Put a loud hum in the lines so no one could talk or hear.

Problems 955 Seemed to work fine out of box. After 1 week. the speakerphone failed. Everytime used, had a loudfeedback noise into the line in use. Replaced phone. New phone had caller ID failures.

( When I was at the store doing a swap, ran into another customer who was also having problems. These phone are pure garbage. For an analog multiline phone, these are the
WORST I have ever owned..
Replaced with used Nortel Venture 3 line phones. Work great..

AT&T needs to take their name of this equipment. It is made by American Advanced Telephones..
