    5 Stars Such Amazing Clarity Out Of Such A Small Thing 20/02/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages amazing sound quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages you can't plug it in to your PC

    ~Introduction~ The Bose Sound Dock, is an exceptional piece of kit, the clarity of sound and the amazing quality really help you to appreciate the hidden subtleties that is the wonder of music. ~Simplicity for General Use~ If the sound dock can boast one thing it is ease of use this is because a technical moron could turn it on and have I working in under a minuet, there is no difficulty in the set up and no complicated wires to negotiate, with; this can be the case with other sound docks or speakers. All you have to do is chose the appropriate dock thing (sorry for the lack of specification ... more

    5 Stars Experiance the 'Wall of Sound' 12/01/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages In a word - quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages There is a reason why Bose are so good .................................

    I was looking around for a digital dock system that I could use on my iPod in the house. I wanted something that was fairly discrete, good looking and gave a good performance. After doing a lot of research across the web, I sort of narrowed my options down and tended to lean towards this Bose system. Bose are arguably the Rolls Royce option of sound system speakers (many upmarket car manufacturers use Bose speaker systems in their cars). Reviews seemed to be good and it was a nice looking system. So I bought it from Amazon early last year for just over the £225 mark. What do you get? Out of ... more

    5 Stars Bose sounddock - How music should sound 24/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages looks great and music quality is unriveled

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A lack of features may put off some buyers

    How music should sound I love listening to my music and usually i am satisfied with listening to it through my headphones on my ipod or my phone but occassionally i like to turn it up really loud and annoy the neighbours. I have had a Bose SoundDock ever since I bought my ipod as it is something I had always coveted when I had seen them in shops and im pleased to say that it didn't let me down. Bose is the crème de la crème of speaker systems and are available in high end department stores or their own stores as well as online. The Bose SoundDock is an extremely stylish sleek looking piece of ... more

    5 Stars BOSE-tastic! The best system for home iPod use! 01/11/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great build quality, top quality sound, simple and easy to use, good compatibility

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hefty price tag, slightly flimsy dock

    I've seen Bose sound systems promoted for years for their great sound quality, usually in newspapers and on the back of glossy magazines, with full-colour ads explaining how great they are. Because of this, I've always had an image of Bose products as having exceptional sound quality, and being generally top-notch well made technical products. However, with the purchase of the Sounddock System for my iPod, I was able to test the brand first-hand, and I was not disappointed... > I think it's important to address the price first, and it is one which is often identified as an issue with Bose ... more
