Reviews for Bose® SoundDock® Series II Digital Music System

It is a great system with fantastic sound quality, but I bought it also to be able to listen to the radio via the iPod Radio Remote - this does not work because Bose Sound System and the radio remote use the same connector to the iPod! It also does not work with the Griffin iTrip for the same reason, so no possibility to listen to the radio while using iPod and Bose Sound System II! Big disappointment.

Expensive and heavy, but sounds awesome...the original sounddock doesn't have subwoofer or folded horn; the sounddock II is essentially same as Bose radio, which u can't buy in the storE.

If it was cheaper, I would give it 5 stars. Also, u cannot lower base...thankfully it sounds crispy.

I had my iPhone on the dock and it was playing music for about an hour. I just began using the dock for the first time today. While listening to the music, there was a sudden drop in sound volume; sound could only be restored by increasing the volume. This happened a few times. Eventually I heard a loud popping noise and the music stopped. When I checked the dock, it did not have any power. I called Bose and they walked me through several steps to restore power to the dock, but nothing worked. My iPhone seems to be fine. Bose is sending me a new power supply cord and I am hoping that it will fix the problem. If that doesn't work, then I have to ship the dock to Bose to be fixed which is estimated to take two weeks. The power supply for my dock was plugged into a Monster surge protector, however there weren't any electrical issues present that could have affected the dock; all other a/v equipment plugged into the same strip are working just fine. I am really disappointed with the dock and with Bose--I expected better quality. I got the dock as a gift two years ago and was just getting my first chance to use it after moving recently. After reading some of the other reviews, it sounds like others have had similar experiences. If the dock works with new power supply cord, then I plan to use with an iPod only--not my iPhone. I am concerned that using the dock could affect my phone and I don't want to deal with any more inconveniences. This experience may get me to rethink my tech choices-big Apple fan here. This problem has really surprised me--I expect quality from Bose and Apple.

had this for xmas well pleased bose sound is just to good! must buy!!!!!!

This speakers are very amazing!!! compare to the size of them sounds very good.

I usually NEVER review products, but if I can save someone from this TRASH I will do my best. I just brought this home from Best Buy an hour ago and its already NOT working. Five SECONDS after plugging it in there was a constant clicking (this happened 5 or 6 times) then the music just stopped playing. Now I'm trying to get it working and it is DEAD! For $300 Bose has to do better. Oh, and the sound/loudness wasn't that great either.

I don't actually own this sounddock but I had the opportunity to use it while I was staying at the Royalton. The sound was anything but hifi. The sounddock itself vibrates too much, creating tons of awful resonances. It kinda sounds like an average clock radio to me. With that being said, I do like the portability of it and the design maybe because it is hardly original. Nothing about it speaks high quality or hifi. It's kinda cheap and nasty for what you get at this price.

Although it's better then those big, old fashion sound systems- it has it's flaws.
The sound qualityt is bad, and it seems like look weird with the colorful, smaller iPod's in it, but that's just my girliness talking out.
But, my biggest problem with it is that I need something that will play CD's. I may have have over 320 songs on my iPod, but that's not all of my favorite music.
But, if you don't mind less then great sound quality & if all of your music is on your iPod, it won't be too bad for you.
