Advantages: Sturdy unlike some of the small speaker systems Disadvantages: none
I purchased the Bose SoundDock a few years ago to take my Ipod classic, it does however take all types of ipod. I think the quality of the sound is excellent & the speaker is so easy to use. After I had purchased the speaker system they brought out a battery one, this would have been even more value for money in my opinion as it would be easier to transport to the garden etc. The only buttons on the system are the volume + & - , I think this is adequate as the treble/bass etc can be controlled via the ipod itself. I don't very often use the remote but this is small & compact. I have had many great parties using this speaker & totally recommend it. In future I will always buy Bose. ...
Advantages: Great sound, looks cool. Disadvantages: Will have to purchase a second iPod!
Awesome bit of kit. Just bought this for my wife, for our wedding anniversary gift! I know weird, my wife actually asked for a gadget for a gift!
Simply plug into the wall, slip in your iPod and away you go.
The sound output is excellent and operation is easy. Cant give you any technical detail or references, but suffice to say its good.
She has it set up in the kitchen so she can slave away listening to her favourite tunes. The sound dock is so light and easily portable to which ever room you want it in.
Design is very contemporary and fits nicely into my MAC lifestyle apartment.
Remote has basic functions and works well, skip tracks, volume and on off.
I bought mine overseas and was considerably cheaper than the prices quoted in the UK.
The only downside is I will have to purchase another iPod as the wife keeps mine at home ...
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 ...
