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 ...
Advantages: Interactive CD. Complete that stereophonics collection. you know you want to! Disadvantages: Not the Stereophonics of old - a bit TOO soft?
Listening through to all three of their albums - 'word gets around', 'performance and cocktails' and their latest offering 'J.E.E.P' - you can definately see kelly jones steer the band on to become a slightly softer rock band, without taking away all the defining qualities that make the Stereophonics such a good listen.
'word gets around' has more of their metally, hard rock style of music, whereas in 'Performance and Cocktails' you can start to hear a more possesive melody than in the rhythm driven first album.
In J.E.E.P this has been taken even further, and the result is Stereophonics most laid back album to date. This may not sit well with some fans who feel that the cynical view on life taken by the band, and writen into their songs was one of the best features of Stereophonics, and to tell the truth, there really arent many ...
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 ...
