Bose SoundDock Digital Music System Review

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

...Bose SoundDock Digital Music System I happened to get this as a gift and it turned out to be quiet interesting Summary: This dock is used mainly for ipod and allows you to connet mp3 players to it and listen to high quality music via speakers. It is idle for homes and small gatherings, although I would not run a party off these. Pros: This system has terrific sound and can go very load despite its relative small 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...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

Bose..... Wow!!!

Advantages: Pure Sound, Great Bass, Suprising Volume!
Disadvantages: None

...I did not expect this level of sound quality from such a small speaker! The Bose SoundDock is a small, compact speaker system for the Ipod range. It has great looks, amzing sound quality and suprising power! There are two different sound docks.. the first one was basically a plug in speaker system just for use with the ipod, perfectly good for anyone who is looking for amazing quality. This one costs £199. The second one they bought out, which i have also got, is the same system apart from it has few extra features. It has a rechargable battery so you can listen to it on the move, it has a carry handle built into the back for ease of transportation, the dock is on a rotating platfrom so it can be made to fit flush to the dock and then open at a touch and then most importantly it has a 3.5mm Aux input that now the user is not limited...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

BOSE: Music for the soul

Advantages: Great sound quality, perfet at loud volumes, just in general FANTASTIC
Disadvantages: none so far

...the Bose Sound dock is that even when it is at its highest volumes, one can NEVER hear difference in sound quality which is uncommon with most other speakers, and certainly highlights this soundsystem over others. It is remarkably easy to fill the room with sound, and you always expect the best of the best from BOSE. anyone who feels that they neglect their iPod , should seriousl consider purchasing this system. (ps... read my review on ipod phone/touch) It is useful for at home, at the gym, in shops, in the park.. anwhere you can imaine, the bose soundock comes in useful, but it IS THE IPOD SPEAKER SYSTEM that everyone is talking about. Thank you for reading, i look forwards to hearing your comments Joshm12...

Bose rocks

Advantages: Unbelievable sound Quality
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 the ipod dock which makes the speaker quite slim) 4.56 lb (2.1 kg) . COLOUR Available in black or white PROS Unbelievable sound. At high volumes there is little or no discernable distortion in the sound so the music is as crystal...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

Not up to usual Bose standard.

Advantages: Easy to use speakers.
Disadvantages: Poor sound quality and quite pricey.

...around. Docking the ipod is also a bit of a fiddle too, it feels a bit loose which makes you think it isn't docked properly. when you switch it on the remote works fine but the buttons don't always activate it first time. My biggest gripe however is.... the sound quality.... poor, total disappointment. Obviously you are playing mp3's and mp4's so they aren't the highest quality tracks, but the Bose shaped speakers just don't seem to have the usual Bose ooompff you would even get from a Bose radio. Since buying the system it has had minimal use because of this, it was bought to use in the office but we have gone back to using our stereo system or playing mp3's via our computer speakers. This may just be a dud unit I've ended up with but other people I know who have bought the Bose Dock don't seem particularly blown away by it either....

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

Bose SoundDock is remarkable quality, clear and crisp sound

Advantages: stylish, perfect clarity, long lasting, valuable remote
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 easy to function and from my point of view speakers which come without a remote are an uneccesary hassle, fortunately the Bose Sounddock comes with a very well equipped remote. Not too small to lose it among you things, and not too large to be...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

I'm glad I chose Bose!

Advantages: Amazing sound quality
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 covering a huge price range. I didn't want a cheap tinny sound, but am always a bit wary about spending a lot of money on electronic goods - how much are you paying for the quality of the item and how much for the hype of the name? My brother has...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

Bose Sound Dock (2nd Generation)

Advantages: Incredible sound from such a small unit, good build quality
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 streams itunes from my laptop to my bedroom although I have used it in a friends house with my ipod too. The sound quality is good for its size which is about the same as a hardback book and it weighs in at about 1 kilo. You can take...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

HOME CINEMA ON A BUDGET? TRY THESE.

Advantages: Small,unobtrusive satellite speakers.
Disadvantages: Not as good as larger speakers.

...I brought my set of tannoys 15 months ago and, at the time,they cost £300.Now,with a little searching around,they can be obtained for under £200. What you get in the box is five satellite speakers(two front,two rear and a centre speaker) plus a seperate powered subwoofer. You also get wall mounted supports for the two front and two rear speakers and all the speaker cables(i changed the cables to 79 stand q.e.d. speaker cable to improve the sound). Setting up the system is relatively easy:you just need an electric drill for the the wall mounted stands and once fitted,you just connect the cables to your home cinema amp. Easy!! Once you have connected everything,it is time to try out the system. My first reaction and i am sure yours will be the same was one of complete disbelief!! The sound quality for such small speakers...
