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...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

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.

...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 system up you have a selection of ipod adapters to choose from that sit in the front cradle, allowing you to dock different generation ipods. This is a feature that I liked but the adapters are a fiddle to fit and not easy to swap...

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

...these really dinky Bose cube speakers for his own sound system and they sound amazing so I figured Bose was probably a good bet and decided to get their customised iPod SoundDock. After a lot of searching around for the best price, I ordered my sound system from Amazon and it duly arrived a few days later. Best £240 I have spent in a long while! I won't repeat all the standard stuff about it having adapters for all the different types of iPod or any of the technical jargon- that's been said before so you don't need to hear it again and what's more I can't pretent to understand what any of it means. However I will repeat what others have said about the quality of the sound. Even on the highest volume setting the sound does not become distorted - not that you should ever need to have it on the highest setting. Although it only runs off...

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

...the battery off as this is the bit that weighs a lot. The controls are easy - you put your ipod on the dock (or connect something else to it) and then there are two touch sensitive controls on the right hand side for volume. It switches off automatically and charges your ipod whilst it is connected. I don't think that you could compare it to a decent separates system, but for the size of the unit, the sound is incredible. You can turn up the volume quite loud and there is no distortion. There is a sound port on the back which doubles as the handle, and I found that putting against a wall gives a much deeper bass. The only negative I have to say about the unit is that the power adaptor is massive and could have been designed better. It also comes with a remote control that lets you mimic some of the control features of your ipod - volume...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

A must have for all serious IPOD owners.

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

...Spec: Size: 29.8cmx16.6cmx16.3cm Weight: 2.1kg 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 much more expensive.....so why should you buy it ...or not? Sound This is, as 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...
