The Players I Tested

The [Bose Wave SoundTouch Music System IV](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Bose+Wave+SoundTouch+Music+System+IV&tag=thetestedhub-20) was the overall winner. The Wi-Fi streaming and CD playback both sound full-range and the remote is laid out perfectly.

I dug out my CD collection and tested five Bose CD radio players in the kitchen, bedroom, and garage to find the best for daily listening.

Quick answers

Do Bose CD players still support older CDs?

Yes. All five units I compared played CD-R discs I burned in 2008 without skipping. They also handled lightly scratched commercial CDs well.

Can I use Bluetooth on these Bose CD radio players?

Four of the five I compared have built-in Bluetooth. The Wave SoundTouch is the easiest to pair and also streams from Spotify and Pandora over Wi-Fi.
