...supplied was multi voltage. Bose claim there product is compatible with all dock connector ipods. The adaptors supplied cover the ipod video and mini and other ipods. The Nano insert was not included with mine but Bose sent me one directly. However I don't use it. We own two ipods a 60 GB Video and a 2 GB nano I use the adaptor that fit the 60 GB video player as I find the nano sits happily on the dock connector without any further support. Basically ...

Advantages: Super sound quality, Portable, Charges IPod
Disadvantages: Remote is easy to lose, Quite expensive

...wonderful sound docks from Bose. Bose are well know for the quality of there sound systems. The sound they produce is just simply amazing. You hear and feel deeper depths to the songs you already know and you fall in love with the tracks all over again. This being said i did my research and found i wanted this one. Picked it up for £279 with 2 years free guarantee from my local John Lewis. Which for me is a bit pricey, and there are cheaper ones ...
...CD or other MP3 players using AUX output. The Bose SoundDock is situable for all classic ipods, new nanos, ipod touch and the iphone. This SoundDock is a must for any one who lives and die with their ipods. I recommend it highly. Martin xxx ... Read review

Advantages: Superb Sound, Very Loud, Ideal for Ipods
Disadvantages: not go to travel with, Extremely Expensive

...size. As with almost all Bose speakers the quality is amazing, so long as the source you are playing it from is high quality it will allow the speakers to each its potential. I have a surround sound Bose set up in one of my rooms but now prefer to use this product as it is very simple to operate. Just plug the mp3 player in and press play and your set. Can't get much simpler. It also runs off a wall socket and depending on the country of purchase ...
...are often purchased for travel use, and although it is a small unit, it is still not that small enough to be ideal to travel with. It also should be run of a wall socket thus use of batteries clearly isn't a great option. Another major factor is its price. Of course you are getting high quality and warranties by paying the high price but it is expensive. Although it can fit other mp3 players its main focus is on ipods, so please buyers, make sure ...

Advantages: Superior sound quality. Credit card remote
Disadvantages: Expensive, Mains only, Some design flaws.

...Power: As a rule Bose do not tell! - exceeds 15 W RMS easily (ie will burst ear drums in a small-medium living room)... General A relatively large and heavy speaker. Why? Because like Apple (NB IPOD 60GB video) BOSE tend not to do things by half and the size and weight are needed to produce some of the loudest and clearest sounds possible. Dock your IPOD in the SoundDock and it charges too. However, compared to its rivals this speaker system is ...
...it is standard with most BOSE speakers, the principal focus and main marketing point. Should it be? Why YES, for its size this system quite simply is the best money can buy. It is loud, very loud. I have had mine up to full volume with deep bass music and at no point was there any distortion....the down side was i got a fuzzy ringing for an hour after in my ears - but what a pleasurable way to go deaf! Now it is not all good news, for those who love ... Read review

Advantages: Great sound, sturdy, easy to use
Disadvantages: Only runs off mains power

...my iPod yet. The Bose sound-dock is a piece of mastery in the area of audio technology. Beautiful, sleek and streamlined; it's large frontal speaker provides both volume and sound quality. The music I play on the sound-dock sounds almost incomparably better than CDs played on a CD player. It is almost unbeleivably easy to use. From opening the box to playing my favourite tracks took a grand total of about 30 seconds. It's as simple as; put the correct ...
...fault, my one gripe with BOSE is that you can't buy these remotes on their own. So, for the foreseeable future, I'm reduced to getting up off my couch when I want to skip a track or alter the volume!! (oh the horror!!) The third issue (and probably the most annoying for me), is that it can't run off battery power. While carrying it long distances for short periods of music listening is pretty unfeasable due to it's size and weight; it would be quite ... Read review

Advantages: Outstanding sound quality and a major step up from similar product (Soundock)
Disadvantages: Not cheap!

...The Bose Sound Dock portable represents a major step up from the previous Sound Dock product. The crisp, clear sound quality remains without having to fix it to one spot. It's portabilty makes it one of my most used technical items, as its ideal for parties and barbeques etc (not to mention the fact it's bloody loud at full volume!) A further development launching it far above it's predecessor is that it is possible to connect to other MP3 players and (especially useful) computers and laptops, you just need a headphone to headphone jack. Previously it was just Ipod users who could utilise the SoundDock. A couple of drawbacks is that its lithium ion battery makes it that bit heavier than other portable speakers, and you'll want to keep an eye on it the whole time because of the price! According to the Bose website, its costing £349... Read review
