Bose SoundDock® (Black) Docking Station for Apple iPod

Pros: sound is rich & clear, great look and size
Cons: can't work the iPod via remote, remote could easily be lost

One thing I used to love to do was take all the songs I liked in my record and CD collection on create tapes - and later CDs - of them in random order. When I got my iPod last winter, I was thrilled as this meant I didn rsquo;t really have to do that ...

Pros: Exceptional iPod Accessory, Shielded Speakers, Charges iPod Battery!
Cons: No Input for other Mp3 or audio devices?

Let’s face it, iPods are here to stay. I would dare say that if many of us lost our trusty music companions, we would replace them in a New York Minute. Frankly I take mine everywhere from the car, in my briefcase, luggage and until just recently ...

Pros: sound is amazing, impressive looking and compact, easy to set-up and use, high-powered remote
Cons: a little expensive

The reason so many people have taken a liking to the iPod, is that it is so portable. I like them myself too, writing about the F ourth Generation 20GB iPod that I use. Sometimes though, you want music, but don't want ...

Pros: Small and really great sound reproduction for the iPod
Cons: Kind of expensive - unless it is a fit for you

We are in the process of moving our extensive CD collection from the Panasonic jukebox to the computer and thence to our 30 GB iPod. We are planning a move to the other coast of America in August and a three to four week auto trip to get there. When we ...

Pros: Sound Quality, Ease of set-up & use
Cons: Only compatible with I-pod. Cant control I-pod functions via the remote.

Why Did we buy this? My wife and I made a conscious decision to decision to tidy our lives up a bit, and so we decided to get rid of our large seperate Hi-Fi system, as well as the large amount of vinyl, and CD's we possessed. To facilitate ...

Pros: Great sound, Easy to use, Charges iPOD and great LOOK.
Cons: The CRADLE area is loose and doesn't hold the iPOD firmly.

I've heard about the BOSE Sound Dock, I've seen it on TV, seen it at Best Buy, seen it advertised in magazines and even been to a BOSE Store and played with it. That's when I knew I had to have it. I happen to have my iPOD with me when I went to the ...

Pros: Small, great sound, wonderful highs, rich mid-tones. Bass is good but not overwhelming. Love it!
Cons: Wish it were more portable or had ability to play AM/FM or even Sat radio.

This Bose SoundDock was not the first sound system I purchased for my Ipod but it will be the last. I wanted something for my office that would allow me to fill my office with sufficient sound to enjoy (and to provide some sound masking) but not ...

Pros: Bose quality sound No noise distortion no matter volume Charges the iPod while in use
Cons: No equalizer controls Remote only works in current playlist Pretty spendy (but worth it)

I expected the sound to be crisp, clear and "Bose-like", but having said that - this product has exceeded my expectations. Let me explain: The first Bose product I owned were the in-ear headphones for my iPod. I was blown away by the sound ...

Pros: Smart and stylish
Cons: Lack of USB connection and AUX port

The Bose SoundDock is a smart, stylish sound system for your ipod. The look of this piece of kit is smart, It looks very stylish. Available in black to match your ipod (white is also available). The Design is arched which allows for the sound to be ...

Pros: It has a very sharp and clear sound when playing your music.
Cons: The remote broke within the first month

After I had gotten an ipod I was only able to listen to the music that I put on the ipod either while I was driving in my car or with ear phones.  I wanted a way to listen to my ipod without having to use my ear phones or being in my car for example ...

Pros: Great sound, satisfying almost unbelieveable bass for its size, powerful remote, elegant looking
Cons: High price

I have had an Ipod for 2 years now and have finally purchased a speaker system. When I went to buy it..I listened to the Bose in the store and loved it...not the price tag though. I ended up buying a Klipsch instead. After one day, I returned the ...

Pros: Crisp, clean, crystal clear, deep base, loud, beautiful, attractive and probably the best sounding 
Cons: No FM tuner or clock display but I already have an alarm clock for that.

I actually purchased the Klipsch IGroove based on a lot of reviews I read and the fact that it also cost 1/2 of what the Bose SoundDock was selling for. Well, after just a few days of listening to what I would say was very muffled sound with big base and not so much clarity, I decided on buying the Bose. All I can say about this is very simple, if you are looking for absolutely beautiful, rich, clear, crisp, deep base, loud and worth every penny sound, then you have no other choice but the Bose. Yes, you can save some $$ and buy cheaper, but you will get what you paid for. Before you buy, go to your local electronic store and hear it yourself. 

Pros: Rich, bright sounds, extremely compact, attractive appearance, wonderful accessory for the IPOD.
Cons: Compatibility issue is serious. Too few controls on the dock.

This less expensive non-portable unit has great sound, looks terrific and it's compact. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with my newest Nano, the 3rd Gen. Nano, the square one with the big screen which plays videos.

My older 2nd Gen. Nano, the long one works fine.

The 3rd Gen. Nano will play for a few minutes and then turn off as if someone pushed the off button on the remote.

I've developed a work-around to play the 3rd Gen. I start with the 2nd Gen. Nano and then replace it with the 3rd Gen. without turning off the 2nd Gen. The 3rd Gen. will then play without a problem.

This is a hassle, and if I knew I would face this, I wouldn't have bought this unit.

I sent the first one back to the on-line retailer and got a new one with the same problem. I assume it's a design problem.

Bose has no explanation for the issue. They're blaming my 3nd Gen. Nano which works fine on its own or with the work-around I discovered.

Pros: Size, easy to use and sound
Cons: None

This sound system sounds like a larger premium system! I love it. It is easy to use and charges the ipod. The small size is wonderful to use in any room. I put it on my desk right by my laptop and use it everyday. The ipod docks easily and there are adaptors for any size ipod.
