 Hear Bose sound before you bash it December 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I did quite a bit of research before getting the Bose SoundDock II. I wanted a dock that would work with my iPod touch 2G, have superb sound quality, and preferably charge my iPod while docked. Well I have to say that I got all i wanted and then some with this unit.
I read some reviews online written by "audiophiles" and supposed "sound experts" bashing Bose for selling overpriced and underpowered equipment. These people just don't get it. I won't go on to bore you in detail about the ridiculous things that were said but I will mention that these people are comparing the SoundDock to a home stereo setup that entails having a receiver with two separate wired speakers. Is this a fair comparison? I beg to differ.
To summarize this product it's a compact unit you can have in virtually any room in the house minus a bathroom (for safety purposes) and its sound can be described as warm and beautiful with deep enough bass to make your sound come alive but not wake the neighbors. Clear, never distorted at any volume. You get what you pay for.
Thanks Bose!
It's BOSE, what else can I say (smile) December 10, 2008

I have a Bose 3-2-1 and love their products and quality. I've been wanting a SoundDock for my iPod for over 2 years and so for Christmas this year I finally found it for a great price here on Amazon and went for it the new SoundDock Series II.
It's so easy to use and the remote works so good and from far off to. It has great sound and it works with the new 4th and 5th generation iPods so no worries there.
I love that it's small and fits on my dressor and yet sounds like I have a huge sound system.
what else can you say, it's BOSE, do I need to say more? =)
I will say one other thing (smile), BOSE, when is the great Bose going to get with the times and have a 3-2-1 Blue-ray?
 Great sound, nice looking and easy to operate. December 4, 2008

My husband bought this for me as a gift for my office. It is stylish and sleek enough for a professional setting, does not take up much room and is easy to operate. I agree with other reviewers that the Ipod holder itself is not a tight and secure fit. I have the Bose Waveless CD/Radio and love it as well. I had a 100.00 IHome prior to this and it is like a bubblegum machine docking station compared to the Bose! You get what you pay for in this instance. A great sounding electronic at all sound levels.
SoundDock Series + Aux In - True portability October 13, 2008
12 out of 16 found this review helpful
I have been using the SoundDock since 3 weeks now and I am satisfied! . Bose made some minor changes in this SoundDock series II by introducing the auxillary input.Sound quality is great and the clarity of the vocals amazed me. As opposed to the original SoundDock which was portable and priced at $399 , this one cannot run on a battery.Most reviewers here had complaints about the auxillary input and now they have got it at the cost of portability.Obviously my concern with this product is why did they remove the battery powering capability. I guess BOSE does not remove the outdated models.If this sounddock came with the same features as the Original Sounddock+AuxIn with the same price($399), it would have been great!
The manual does not contain any specifications on power output/bass capability etc as is the tradition with Bose systems.
All in all a good buy but not truly portable!
Good sound quality but poor build quality October 5, 2008
24 out of 29 found this review helpful
I bought this product yesterday for my wife at a local vendor. Upon initial inspection I found the build quality to be poor. The gap at the bottom of the speaker grill was about 1/16" and you could see into the unit. The actual docking area that juts out from the main area was a bit loose and does not allow the unit to sit fully flat. However in the grand scheme of things this is pretty negligible. I am just particular due to my professional training and these sort of things bother me.
The sound quality is impressive for such a small unit it. It can definitely light up the room once you have the volume adjusted correctly. The speakers are crisp and produce a well rounded sound overall but a little weighted on the low frequencies. I find most Bose products to be like this, but this is a personal opinion. I played a variety of music on this unit and the music sounded great. On several occasions I was surprised by the clarity of the sound. My wife who I bought this for was extremely impressed and happy with this unit.
Considering the price, build quality and sound quality. I would recommend this unit to the masses looking for a decent sounding MP3 speakers. I should mention that it comes with an AUX input at the back. I would not recommended this to pure audiophiles as I am sure they could find fault with this unit. As for the build quality, I may have gotten a bad unit but it is negligible. It might bug me (a design professional) but my wife could really care less.
