Reviews for Bose SoundDock Series II Digital Music System

This is the best sound system ever. Very easy to use and charges your Ipod as you play, great. Lightwegiht and easy to transport.

The remote is ok as remotes go but as read in someone elses review could do with a mini screen to choose the song from the remote instead of having to keep getting up to do this manually.

Overall an excellent item. Have had for about 2 years now with no problems. If you want excellent sound and something easy to use buy one now.

I bought this while passing through duty free so I could listen to quality sound while overseas. Unboxed and set it up in minutes. The sound is very good considering the price versus some of the competition so I was happy with that. That is until I sat back and tried using the remote. It is absolute minimal and unless you are happy to just skip forwards, backwards or up and down the volume it does nothing else. Anything other than that then it's off you chair and back to the scroll wheel or buttons and that is not acceptable for kit of this quality and cost. I have a far cheaper item in the house and the remote is fully functional so why Bose cannot produce the same leaves me at a loss. All in all I feel let down even although the sound feels worth the money. Of course if you are happy with one playlist then this won't bother you but, if like me, you want to change at will then don't buy this

With my old cheap docking station failing i was delighted to get the Bose 2 at Christmas. The sound is fantastic as many of my friends had told me. However the remote control is pretty useless other than volume control. The only interaction with my ipod library is by selecting different playlist, it then starts playing the playlist from track 1. My ipod has 4 playlists each with over 600 tracks so if my desired track was in the middle (say 300) i would have to press skip forward 299 times! There is no 'enter' or 'menu' select button. It is made more frustrating as my old cheap station had full control of the ipod. In our lazy age i am now getting fitter as i have to keep getting up to manually select tracks that i desire - Could do with losing a few pounds!!
The sound quality is worth the purchase but prepare for exercise!

I sadly have to announce the death of my Sounddock after a very short life of just over one year.
It happened suddenly on meeting my iPhone 4; a shock to us all, especially my wallet.
My advice is - don't buy one in the first place. It's better to have never had then to have had and now lost.(£250 that is)
Sorry Bose and Apple, but one year is not good enough!!

Great product and really happy with it and would recommend this product. The bass can over power the sound at high volume but still what a sound from such a small unit. Puts a lot of big sound systems to shame. Possibly slightly pricey now that other products are on the market.
