Bose® SoundDock® Series II Digital Music System
Almost Perfect
Written by AH from Jersey City
Sep 26, 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. …More1003 of 1068 people found this useful

Bose SoundDock Capatibility
Written by JS from Huntsville
Nov 18, 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
Oct 8, 2008
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. …More482 of 534 people found this useful

Bose® SoundDock® Series II Digital Music System
Big sound, small package
Written by ME from Edina
Dec 19, 2009
I've had my Bose SoundDock for several months now, and I can't say enough good things about it. I use it with my iPhone, and it projects the big sound you would expect from a Bose product. I usually keep it on my bookshelf, but as an added bonus, it's small enough to tote around the house and set up in different rooms without much hassle. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants big sound without the bulk of a multiple-speaker system. …More

Brilliant sound but disappointed can't use i nano radio too
Written by RW from hayling island
Dec 9, 2009
Really great sound from the Bose speakers. Had assumed that the i nano radio would work when placed in the SoundDock but it doesn't. (Should have asked more questions.) You can only use the radio when wearing the i nano headphones. Disappointing. …More

Good Product iffy docking
Written by MS from Calgary
Dec 6, 2009
Great sound on this docking station. I have a concern with the Ipod's mounting port, I found that as I scrolled thru some app's and songs that I pushed the Ipod back and the contacts were compromised to the extent that the sound did not come thru properly. Concern I have is will the port become stretched out to the point of it being too loose to make proper contact. My unit is brand new and that was the first thing I noticed. Perhaps as I become more familiar with the remote this will not be an issue. …More
