Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research
 

Now you can get the legendary Bose sound for your iPod. The Bose SoundDock Digital Music System is as simple to use as the iPod itself. Just slip your player into the unit's dock — your iPod is now fully connected to the speakers, and it's automatically charging. The SoundDock's slim speakers produce surprisingly rich, full sound with lots of sonic detail.

The SoundDock comes with Dock adapters, so it will securely hold any docking iPod.

With the SoundDock's credit card-sized remote, you can control your iPod from anywhere in the room. Change songs or pause them on your iPod, and adjust the SoundDock's volume. The SoundDock's sophisticated iPod-inspired styling makes it an excellent shelf system for any décor. The speakers are video-shielded, so you can even place it close to a TV or PC monitor.

I felt this Bose product was too expensive despite its good performance. It was therefore a pleasant surprise  to find out on your website that the price had gone down to a more reasonable amount. So now I own one and I'm  enjoying the room filling sound that this amazing device can produce. I wish that its power transformer is smaller and easier to hide though.

Bose SoundDock = FANTASTIC! June 5, 2007
Reviewer: Jason from Lawrenceburg, KY  
I must admit, that with a few of the slightly negative reviews out there, I was a little hesitant in purchasing a SoundDock. But I have been a long time believer in Bose products. I do not have many, but most of my family has Bose home theater products, speakers, headphones, etc. They all sound great. So I put my faith in the Bose product and will say with 100% certainty, I made a great choice!

First off, a bit of a disclaimer. I was not looking for a music system to play music during parties or for entertaining. I only wanted a device to play music in my office, bedroom, or sunroom. I really got the SoundDock for use in my home office. It is PERFECT for this. If you are looking for something that plays loud, thumping music, you should probably get the Bose home theater speakers and coordinate with your CD/MP3 player.

The SoundDock is a very attractive system that is very compact and fits nicely on any bookshelf or desk. It has a GREAT sound and sounds great listening to everything from podcasts to hard rock to smooth jazz or R&B.

My only gripe with the SoundDock is the remote control. Specifically what you can and cannot control. It will only allow you to do basic functions such as volume up/down, next track, fast forward/rewind, and power off. In order to select playlists, podcasts, albums, etc., you have to do that on the iPod itself. The SoundDock would be even better if the remote would allow you to navigate the iPods menu functions.

I love the SoundDock so much, I plan on purchasing another one for our sunroom/bedroom, or I might even put it in my office at work.


 
What can you expect? It's a Bose! April 30, 2007

There's nothing that I can say more about this product.  My Bose Sound Dock is awesome!  It delivers a very crisp sound.  It was worth every penny!


 
Good sound - for the average Joe February 7, 2007
Reviewer: Adam from Cold Springs, KY  
Well for sometime now I have been studying several ipod systems and was real undecided on which would best fit my taste. I like Bose products but have some postive and negative opinions about there stuff. Bottom line is that I want what sounds good no matter who makes it. I have a pair of Bose triport headphones and love them.
I heard the Bose SoundDock before I purchased one and I can say the best advice is to take your own ipod and listen to music that you know before making a decision on a dock. Once out of the box the SoundDock is nice looking and dose put out some room filling volume. As far as sound quality, Bose SoundDock, not so much.
The SoundDock is lacking upper treble (could easily be solved if Bose would use tweeters in more of their stuff) and this unit dose pack some decent midbass but no lower bass is evident (but hey look at its size). The midrange is in my opinion a little overbearing but I think this is were the unit gets its volume.
The price on this unit is a little excessive considering what you are getting as well. There are no input/output jacks and there is no way to adjust the bass or treble. I tried adjusting the eq on my ipod and immediatly noticed distortion. Another down fall is that this unit is in no way portable and the plug that came with this unit has a huge power pack.
I can honestly say that I would have kept the SoundDock if the sound quality, and some features were there but there not. I have been obsessed with sound quality for the last 10 years and several faimly members of mine are the same way. I know what sounds good and what dosent. For the same price of the Bose there is alot more out
