AiwaExos Home Speaker, Premium 30W RMS Sound System with CD Player, Bluetooth Connectivity, FM Radio, Optical Digital Input, Dual 1” Tweeters + Dual 2” Bass Units, IR Remote Control

At the price point, this is a very good sounding multi-function audio device.I bought it to use in my home office, mainly for the FM radio and CD functions. But it also works nicely for streaming. I live in a medium sized city with numerous FM broadcasters, and find that the included antenna (wired into the back and can be extended to approximately three feet in length) provides very good reception. The sound is crisp and clear from the tweeters, good midrange and adequate bass (but not deep or booming).I don't find the sound to be quite as good as the, now out of production, Bose Wave Radio/CD. But at the price, the AIWA is, IMHO, a great value for money.

My mother wanted an under-the-counter CD player for her kitchen, but they seem to be difficult to find these days unless used. Knowing AIWA has been in the stereo business for decades, I decided to go with this unit. She LOVES it! We added a riser stand that the CD player sits on and she can keep some CDs underneath. The sound is surprisingly good for such a compact unit. It's quality built and has a nice weight to it. It's also very easy for her to use. The included remote control is a nice bonus so she can control it without having to walk over to it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I was attracted by the sleek compact size of this unit, good sound quality, its blue tooth that connected flawlessly, inclusion of a quality cd player and the positive past experiences I have had with Aiwa products. On the negative side the only controls for this unit are via the remote control...sort of like most flat screen tv's. There are no tone controls. The bass and treble are fixed and not adjustable. My FM reception is not great at my home with most receivers I've tried. This one is a bit below average on FM reception.

I'm a repeat fan of BOSE products, and honestly, I was shopping for another BOSE "Wave", hoping they still had a CD option available, because while 85% of my music is MP3, I still cling to some of my trusty old CDs.I kept seeing this AIWA speaker/CD player and gave it a shot, primarily because the price was very reasonable and if it wasn't great, no huge loss.Well...this unit surprised me. The sound is clear, the factory set bass is decent, and the little speakers have some sound carrying power to them, not to mention that the unit itself is fairly compact and not heavyweight.I think this little system is a good addition to anyone looking for something to play at house parties or stuff like that. There's a remote control for those lazier moments, too.An added bonus: there's Bluetooth available on this system, and you can also link other devices to it (IPods/MP3 players, as well as sound for your TV), per the instructions.Overall, I'm glad I got this AIWA, and my credit card didn't hurt so much with the purchase price either.

Super device. Sound is great. The remote has decent range. It has the ability to do radio and CDs. Much of my music collection is on CD, so it's nice to be able to use it. I haven't played with the Bluetooth much, but looking forward to streaming too.

Very impressed with the sound and features. I wanted a Bose and didn’t want to spend that much money. This sounds as good as Bose Waves that I’ve heard. Would recommend. Sound quality is good. Size is perfect.

Good sound is the main reason I give this 3 stars. Also the CD player seems to work well. It plays factory CDs just fine and mostly played re-recorded ones, sometimes with a few skips, but they were pretty old so that may be the problem with the skips. Unfortunately there were 2 major problems that had me decide to return the Aiwa Home Bedroom Speaker.The fm preset tuner stops were very difficult to program. I think there is probably a quick easy way to do it, but the directions are so sketchy I spent hours and only got 2 stations programed. Reception also seemed pretty weak.The second problem I had was getting the Bluetooth to pair. I could not get it to pair with my Iphone and there does not seem to be a way to connect to ear phones? I tried contacting Aiwa's webpage for support, but never got an answer?? The product information link on Amazon did not help either and lumped several products together, making it a little difficult to tell what to do with the specific one I bought. I would suggest they put up a YouTube video on how to set this unit up. I looked and found a couple short reviews, but no set up videos.

Like many other reviewers, I bought this to replace my defunct fifteen-year-old Bose Wave. The sound of the Aiwa is fine; the CD player functions well. The radio also sounds good...BUT, as many others have noted, loading the radio presets is difficult to impossible. I spent 45 minutes trying to put in my go-to stations, only to have the presets not work. I tried again another day; still no-go. If I want to change radio stations, it's a process of continuous clicking on the remote. (Maybe Aiwa needs to talk to Bose about remote design, too...)
