Reviews for Bose® SoundDock® Portable Digital Music System

I don't usually write a review, but I had to for this product. I had been a very happy owner of JBL ipod/ laptop speakers for a very long time. After about 10 great years from them, they finally shorted out. I decided to take advantage of Apple's Black Friday sale. They say you get what you pay for. The Bose SoundDock Portable Digital Music System delivers flawless sound. Is is November, so checking out the portability for outside will have to wait a few months, but if this is any indication, I won't be let down !!

Although you can't dock the iPad, you can still use the stereo input. This box ROCKS! Great base, definable highs. I have (3) Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere speeakers sets... All (3) have problems with the batteries recharging fully. I got tired of screwing around with them and decided to give the Bose Sounddock a try , and MAN, that was a great decision. I liked the. Profile of the Pure-Fi, but overall not the hassle. The sounddock is a little larger than i thought but how else coud speakers of this dynamic produce such great sound. I love the BOSE Sounddock. It's the Dr. Dre of the table top.

I have had my bose portable dock for 2 years now and it is the best dock I have ever owned or heard! Sounds just as good as my sound wave. My battery life is still great and would buy another if anything ever happened to it. I got a special deal on mine that included Bose ear buds and they are phenomenal!!! Highly recommend this product.

I was just a little afraid about if my iPhone 4s 64G with iOS 5.1.1 will work with this SoundDock. And it works perfectly!!! and it is fully compatible with my old 80G iPod Video and my new iPod Nano 16G too. Definitely, another great product from Bose.

If its the last thing you do buy this system. It is so worth the investment in a Bose. No lying true rich sounds. And I've now understood more Rolling Stones lyrics with it, than i ever would have. Once you experience it, you'll never want any other sound system.

I've had my Bose Sounddock now for over 6 months and have been nothing but delighted with the product! The sound is amazing (and it can actually play louder than you would think at first), it's clear and with no "disturbances". The design is simple and subtle and you hardly notice it, which I personally see as a good thing! On a positive note (seeing as I'm really bad at remembering to charge my iPod) the dock does it for you if you leave it in.
All in all I love this product, and generally almost anything coming from Bose is great!

I bought this Bose Portable Sound-Dock, sounds good, very clear sound - but sometimes sounded Tinny. I Also bought the Altec Lansing iMT Mix 800 at the same time and compared this to the Bose PSD. I was thinking that the Bose system was going to win easily, but that was far from the case.

Truth is, the AL Mix has much better bass, better highs, and better overall detailed sound. Again, the Bose also sounded tinny at times, and just could not fill up a large room with sound like the Altec Lansing Mix. The AL Mix is also a lot less money.

Also, for the money you spend on this Bose Sounddock, they don't include a carrying case. I think plunking down this money for the Bose system, you should get a lot more for your money, at least a treble/bass control, or even the carrying case.

For me, it's about maximizing the value for my purchases, and in the case of this Bose system, you pay for the name. I did a little research and found a much better system, and I just don't go for brand name recognition anymore, I want the most for my money, and Bose comes up short here. Sorry Bose, but I returned the Portable SoundDock, and I was not that impressed.

Great product, the best quality of sound, great for outdoors with an excellent battery. This is my second dock, nevertheless, I am very disappointed because it does not work with my iPhone 4, it did work in the beginning but after an update from Apple it did not work anymore, I have tried everything, hard reset the iPhone, unplugging the battery of the SoundDock, everything, what else can I do? As soon as I connect it it says " This accesory is not optimized for this iPhone"
