    Almost Perfect

    • Written by from Jersey City

    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.     …More

    Bose SoundDock Capatibility

    • Written by from Huntsville

    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

    Good!

    • Written by 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.     …More

    very good sound, poor quality desing

    • Written by from Kuala Lumpur

    the sound is fantastic, no doubt. the device is worth the money.
    However, at this price the connection dock should have been a bit more solid. both my 3G and 4 are difficult to dock and sometimes don't charge. try the B&O device and it is rock solid.

    i have the portable unit, which is great, but half the times when i take the unit with me, I forget the remote. unbelievable that the folks at Bose did not think of a slot to insert the remote in or some other way to assure the owner brings it with. so for sound 5 stars, for design 1.     …More

    Bose Quality, Fills yard with sound

    • Written by from Upland

    I bought this system to replace my cheaper system that broke over the summer last year (one of the Costco TEAC ones) that was good, but I knew from experience that Bose was better. The minute I compared it at the Apple Store, I KNEW this was my next system!

    The bass is deep, but not overwhelming like some other brands. The mids and highs play nice as well.

    What's kind of neat is I guess they use a digital "sound manipulation" process that allows you to have your system on MAX volume (I personally never have) and yet have virtually no distortion. This process also allows you to use the EQ's on your iPod, or even Bose just suggests turning them off.

    What I LOVE is that I can fill my house, my 9,000 sq ft yard, and more, with this little system, and not even have it at full volume and it still sounds AMAZING!     …More
