Bose® SoundDock® Series II Digital Music System
Almost Perfect
Written by AH from Jersey City
26/09/2008
By now it should be no surprise that the Bose sounds real good. Unlike other speakers I tested, the vocals and instruments sound full and alive. It can play quite loud without distortion. The original SoundDock has many reviews if you can find them.
This is the new model (Series II) of the SoundDock and, contrary to what the previous reviewer wrote, it does not run on batteries. For portability you must shell out another $100 for the model with the word "Portable" in its name. The Series II has a new slimmer profile, an input for other audio devices, and a slightly more functional remote. It now lets you switch playlists like the remote on the Portable. I'm not sure why they didn't go all the way and give the remote the ability to fully navigate the iPod menu and list system. You must still have physical access to the iPod or iPhone to select artists or albums which makes the remote a bit disappointing if you listen to music in full albums instead of via playlists.
If, like me, you care about subtle qualities in the sound or if you want to be able to play loud without distortion, by all means the Bose delivers compared to its competition. You will not get booming bass out of a speaker this size, but you will be impressed with the bass you do get.
It loses a star for the lack of full functionality in the remote and because it is expensive (like all Bose products). If you are not an especially critical listener, the Logitech Pure-Fi sounds very good for less than half the price and provides portability at no extra charge. …More965 of 1030 people found this useful

Bose SoundDock Capatibility
Written by JS from Huntsville
18/11/2008
According to Bose and many other sources, the Bose SoundDock was suppose to be 100% capable to to iTouch. After getting it shipped, I found that the recharging feature only works for iPods and iPhones, NOT iTouch. This shortcoming is slightly implied on the Apple website, but I don't think anyone would have noticed the exclusion of iTouch for this feature since it should be obvious requirement. Sound quality is pretty good, but I'm going to return the unit since I would be running on battery power all the time. Live and learn! …More

Bose® SoundDock® Series II Digital Music System
Good!
Written by JS from Florence

I've wanted this since It came out because all of the other sounddocks I've had did not messure up to Bose. You can't blare your speakers out, but, I don't think that's the point of a Bose sounddock. You will be very shocked for how awesome it sounds considering it is so small.
I also had trouble with the remote and Bose was very nice and sent me a new one in the mail next day delivery.
I'm very happy and would recommend it my friends and family. …More459 of 511 people found this useful

Bose® SoundDock® Series II Digital Music System
Decent Sound for the Price
Written by SA from Port Washington
26/11/2009
For $300 you could get better sound from the iHome iP1 or for less money you can get better clarity of sound from the JBL 400P. The Bose SoundDock isn't bad by any means...but simply isn't worth the price. While I do agree that Bose produces the "warm" sound that many consider to be good, it is simply an over amplification of the bass. Bose has always made all their products pretty bass heavy (perhaps too much) by sacrificing the clarity of the mid to high range sounds. The crispness of the vocals or the snare drums, acoustic guitars, etc are all muddled with the Bose SoundDock. The distortion of the sound is pretty prevalent as well at higher volumes. On top of that, they don't allow you to change the balance of the sound so you're stuck with what you get. While it is simple to use, like I said before, no adjustments can be made. Other products are more versatile in this manner where sound can be fine tuned to your liking or WiFi, radio, etc is available. So overall, Bose SoundDock is ok...but for the price there are many other better options. …More

Bose® SoundDock® Series II Digital Music System
Better than expected!! It's Superb
Written by MC from Fanar
12/11/2009
I knew it's a good product however after buying it I was surprised by its great quality sound!
This product exceeds all expectations in terms of sound clarity and quality however the design and the material (shiny plastic shell) doesn't look good specially comparing to B&W speakers. What I appreciate is that even if you play it on very low volume it remains clear and keeps the same quality, that's hard to find in most of speakers! …More3 of 5 people found this useful
