Collection, The - Sounds Of Blackness

Advantages: Great sound, sturdy, easy to use
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-dock is a piece of mastery in the area of audio technology. Beautiful, sleek and streamlined; it's large frontal speaker provides both volume and sound quality. The music I play on the sound-dock sounds almost incomparably better than CDs... Read review

Advantages: Beautifully conserved
Disadvantages: Hard to reach

...called Deep Cove. Here there is a wharf, where we boarded another cruiser, a catamaran, and soon we were out into the Sound itself. From Deep Cove to the sea is a distance of just under twenty miles, mostly along a deep furrow between the mountains, known as Malaspina Reach. It was still early morning, and the eastern bank was in black shadow while sunlight slanted its way down to illuminate the slopes opposite. Both banks are precipitous, climbing straight up out of the water, so that necks and cameras are constantly craned back to take in their scale. If I describe the scenery in detail it will sound repetitive: torrents tumbling down rockfaces, dark patches of dense forest in the clefts, distant snow-capped peaks. Again and again. The words would be the identical, but the reality as seen from the water is infinitely varied... Read review

Advantages: Smart and tidy with excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: A little heavy

...We needed a new docking station and immediately we thought 'Bose', knowing that this was, in our opinion the best quality. Our Ipod was one of the cheaper ones but it makes no difference to the output of sound when in this docking station. It is Fantastic! The acoustics are great, base amazing and as the station is a little heavier, it is safe to place anywhere even with a toddler knocking the table every five minutes! It has a sleek design that looks perfect in the modern home. The sound is amazing! it has an easy to use compact remote control, which fits perfectly in your pocket. So while you are out having a BBQ in the garden and want to turn the sound UP or Down, it is simple and easy to do. You can also adjust the volume on the station with ease. Even at a high level, the sound comes out perfect...not distorted at all... Read review
