    Absolutely wonderful sound!!

    This is easily the best-sounding dock for my iPhone and iPod that I have heard, and I have heard several by other manufacturers that are owned by friends/family. The music is full, rich and deep, no loss of highs or lows, and no "tinny" or mechanical aspect to the sound. Also,the ease of use along with the remote capabilities are exemplary, especially since my iPhone and iPod are both equipped with lightning connections; the remotes on other makers' products may not work well (if at all), even if using a pin-to-lightning adapter. Leave it to Bose to have the first lightning-equipped docks on the market. I am so happy with this Bose product that I have ordered another to keep in another area of the house. If you love music, why not use a product that makes your music sound wonderful?! Absolutely no complaints!!

    Surprisingly good

    I have never been a big Bose fan, but I wanted a dock for my office so I could listen to Pandora, Songza, and iTunes. I've tried Bluetooth speakers (such as Jawbone) and have been underwhelmed by the sound quality. Ditto with some all-in-one systems from Polk and Creative.

    So I reluctantly purchased this system and it actually sounds very good for what it is. This is not designed to drive a large room but it does offer very good sound for the money. Easy to use with the iPhone 5 and the included remote is a nice bonus.

    Not Bad

    Sound quality is consistent with other Bose docks. I listen to mostly heavy metal and if I had to nitpick I'd say that the bass is ever so slightly muffled and cymbals sound somewhat too tinny. Anything in the mid-range sounds great though. I'm still working on tweaking the EQ on my iPhone to see if I can get the sound exactly the way I want it.

    The sound does fill a room quite nicely, and I can turn the volume up a bit and hear this thing almost anywhere in my house. My previous Klipsch dock sounded great up close, but volume seemed to diminish greatly once you started getting further away. Not so here.

    Outstanding Sound

    Bose has done a excellent job at producing a compact, aesthetically pleasing sound system that produces superior sound for small to medium spaces. Throw in a well designed remote and the addition of a Lightening connector it's a near-perfect package. The only thing missing is a Lightning connector capable of docking both an iPhone and an iPad.

    i just bought this dock a day ago with my first paycheck (i am 14) and i opened the box and realized that you have to have the dock plugged into the mains for the dock to work :( which for me is a major bummer for me as i love to listen to music while moving around the house. I was also expecting a tad more bass from this dock but otherwise a great purchase.
