    5 Stars The sound of a revolution 11/12/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great sound, sturdy, easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Only runs off mains power

    Before I got my iPod and sounddock, I was one of those who refuses to subscribe to the technological revolution. Prefering hi-fi and compact disc to the digital music phenomenon. However, within a week (once I'd worked out how to use it), I was hooked on my iPod and once I got the sound-dock, there was no turning back. I think it's fairly safe to say that the era of compact disc players and tape decks is over... The only reason I still have a normal cd player in my house is to listen to the radio, and those few albums that I just haven't got around to putting on my iPod yet. The Bose sound ... more

    5 Stars Bose Sound Dock (2nd Generation) 28/12/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Incredible sound from such a small unit, good build quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Price

    I bought this unit in November this year. There are two models, the original sound dock which I think is about £199 and the second generation one (the one I bought) which was £279 from John Lewis. The second generation one is basically the same as the first except: a) it has a rechargeable battery b) it has a swing out dock c) it has an auxiliary (3.5mm) jack input If you just want a basic model, then go for the first gen one. I got the second gen one because I thought the battery was a useful addition as is the auxiliary 3.5mm input - I have mine connected to an apple airport express that ... more

    5 Stars Bose rocks 21/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Unbelievable sound Quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive

    Before i start this reveiw i want to state that the Bose soundock is an exceptional piece of kit. Before i bought mine i toyed with the idea of a lesser quality and obviously less expensive option but was lucky to hear a freinds unit before i spent any money,needless to say the difference in sound quality is like compareing a honda to a porshe. Personally i'm a convert but i will try to be unbiased. SIZE 6.65" H x 11.91" W x 6.48" D . 16.89 x 30.26 x 16.47 cm . (Basically the speaker face is slighty smaller than an A4 sheet of paper and although it is just over 6" deep, 1.5-2" is taken up by ... more

    2 Stars Not up to usual Bose standard. 31/08/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use speakers.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor sound quality and quite pricey.

    The Bose Sound Dock.... where to begin.... well I bought this in autumn 2004 to go with my apple ipod. I had great expectations but sadly I was disappointed. The unit looks smart in the usual Bose way but in the areas you need it to excel it just doesn't. Firstly this isn't a cheap speakers solution, so you expect a reasonable quality product from such a specialised manufacturer. I own other Bose products but this one doesn't meet the same standard. In the box you get (as I recall).... the system, a remote control, instructions, power adapter and a selection of ipod adapters. When setting the ... more

    5 Stars Bose sound dock, Great sound and build quality, unbelievable! 21/06/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic Audio Quality, Good Battery Life, Very Portable,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Limited in Features, Expensive

    I bought the Bose Sound Dock Portable in New York this year. Having been quite undecided about purchasing due to the price etc I finally decided to go out a buy one after seeing / hearing a friends system. I can honestly say that this is the best portable speaker system I have heard. The audio quality is fantastic with what ever genre of music. My music taste changes quite regularly going from Jazz to the Latest top 20. The Sound dock makes every song sound perfect with the correct amount of bass and top end with never being too over whelming. The features on the sound dock are limited ... more

    4 Stars Bose SoundDock Portable, fantastic product, if a bit pricey 24/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Outstanding sound quality and a major step up from similar product (Soundock)

    Disadvantages 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 ... more

    5 Stars BOSE: Music for the soul 30/05/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great sound quality, perfet at loud volumes, just in general FANTASTIC

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none so far

    Anything made by BOSE can be trusted. Its sound quality is always at its best, no matter what soundsystem you use from bose, and it's true... you get what you pay for. Jus plug it in and press "ON" and you're set up! IT'S THAT EASY! bose is a big brang name, and everyone expects the best from, and how right they are. The sounddocks simplistic design brings out the best of your mp3 player, making it the whole music experience that much better. For (at most) £300, you are getting exactly what you pay for AND more! The bose soundock has an inate wonder within itself, which brings you to ... more

    5 Stars I'm glad I chose Bose! 01/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Amazing sound quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can only be used with iPod

    I must say I couldn't understand all the fuss when MP3 players appeared on the market - thought they were just the latest gimmick for teenagers. That was until my brother decided it was time to drag me into the 21st century and bought me an iPod for a "landmark " birthday. It didn't take long to covert me to the joys of digital music - I still find it amazing that I can have my entire music collection stored on something hardly bigger than a credit card. But this isn't a review about iPods, it's a review about the amazing Bose SoundDock. There are lots of speakers around for MP3 players ... more

    5 Stars Can't say enough good things about the Bose SoundDock 21/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages size, ease of use, sound quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can't connect to a computer, price

    I got this as a very generous housewarming gift after I had been lusting after it for months and I really honestly cannot say enough good things about it. The sound quality off of it is properly amazing, to the point where you can pick up all sorts of subtleties in songs you've been listening to for years that you may have never heard before. It's phenomenal how something so wee can produce such sound, this sits unobtrusively on a side table, and is hardly noticeable, until you turn it on. It's fantastically ease to use, the term plug and play was invented for this thing. I mean that's ... more

    4 Stars Bose SoundDock is remarkable quality, clear and crisp sound 13/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages stylish, perfect clarity, long lasting, valuable remote

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    In my opinion the Bose sounddock was a great spend. I was looking for a quality product to enable me to listen to my iPod. I shopped around and tried out a few other speakers, e.g. JBL onstage. The Bose sound was remarkable. It was so clear it was unbelievable. I got a surround sound feeling whilst listening to the speakers and there was no sign of the low hum or odd crackle one sometimes finds accompanies certian speakers. I have now had my Bose speakers for a year. One year on and they still look new (the newer model still looks the same) and the sound is still clear and precise. It is very ... more
