    Great Product for anyone!

    • Written by from STERLING

    I've owned the sounddock for a while now, i know it is expensive but it really is worth every penny. It is very loud, loud enough to play music at a party with 20-25 people and very portable. If you are looking for a great sound system and appreciate sound quality then i would get the bose sounddock portable.

    Perfect sound and function

    • Written by from Calgary

    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 !!

    I Phone 5 Compatable

    • Written by from Winter Springs

    Just received Apple's Lightning to 30 pin adapter & it works perfectly with my new I Phone 5. It locks in, stands straight, & enables me to play my music & charge my phone. But it will not lock in if left in a case. Needs to be free on the bottom.

    Bose Soundock for iPhone, iTouch, iPad

    • Written by from Spring

    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.

    Worth it!!

    • Written by from CROSS LANES

    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.

    WAS REALLY GOOD!!!

    • Written by from Hattiesburg

    Worked great before IOS 5 in November for iPod touch and iPhone. Since then I've talked to Bose and Apple none of which wanted to help. Works fine on my classic iPod and nano but kind of a waste of money if it doesn't work on iPhone or touch. The sound is great but with it not working as described it gets one star.

    A great product

    • Written by from cali

    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.

    Awesome

    • Written by from WEST COVINA

    Bose bass is strong, and give u crystal clear sound that is very ease to listen. My tip is to buy bose rather than beats. Beats is juz beautiful but the sound quality isn't as good as bose.

    Great improvement over the first generation

    • Written by from Grand Junction

    As always it produces the great sound quality we have come to expect from Bose. The added features over the first generation (aux input to use with AirTunes, swivel closing tray and touch sensitive volume buttons) makes this one of the est compact speakers out there. I know it is kinda pricey but if you use apple products then you know that you get what you pay for and realize quality is more important than price.

    BUY THIS

    • Written by from knoxville

    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.

    Fantastic sound - Not iPhone 4s Compatible

    • Written by from Charlotte

    I love the Bose SoundDock Portable. You can tote it anywhere and the sound is great. And Bose is a fantastic company who takes great care of their customers.

    Note that it does work with my iPhone 4 but NOT my wife's iPhone 4s (if anyone has figured out how to get it to work, please let me know).

    Very Very Very Good!

    • Written by from Slagelse

    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!

    Not That Impressed with the Bose PSD

    • Written by from Jacksonville

    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.

    Best in class

    • Written by from Fredericton

    I had the original SoundDock and it was very good; the Portable is even better. Tons of rich sound and will run 2-4 hours on battery power.Nice option at times.
    Occasionally will reproduce sound equalized a little strangely, but overall very good sound quality.

    Best Quality of Sound but it does not works with iPhone 4

    • Written by from Greensboro

    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"

    Just O.K.

    • Written by from Lockport

    This is a nice unit for low to mid volume levels, but i use mine outdoors in a big yard,and it does'nt have the power you need for higher volumes. There is too much distortion/bass rattle for clear sound. I received this as a gift to replace my apple hi-fi dock,which still sounds great, and blows this out of the water as far as power goes, but unfortunately i left it in the rain and it does'nt charge anymore. All in all,this is a nice unit for a room in the house, but do not expect to rock the beach or yard with it. Why did apple have to discontinue the hi-fi.....
