By now it should be no surprise that the Bose sounds real good. Unlike other speakers I tested, the vocals and instruments sound full and alive. It can play quite loud without distortion. The original SoundDock has many reviews if you can find them.

This is the new model (Series II) of the SoundDock and, contrary to what the previous reviewer wrote, it does not run on batteries. For portability you must shell out another $100 for the model with the word "Portable" in its name. The Series II has a new slimmer profile, an input for other audio devices, and a slightly more functional remote. It now lets you switch playlists like the remote on the Portable. I'm not sure why they didn't go all the way and give the remote the ability to fully navigate the iPod menu and list system. You must still have physical access to the iPod or iPhone to select artists or albums which makes the remote a bit disappointing if you listen to music in full albums instead of via playlists.

If, like me, you care about subtle qualities in the sound or if you want to be able to play loud without distortion, by all means the Bose delivers compared to its competition. You will not get booming bass out of a speaker this size, but you will be impressed with the bass you do get.

It loses a star for the lack of full functionality in the remote and because it is expensive (like all Bose products). If you are not an especially critical listener, the Logitech Pure-Fi sounds very good for less than half the price and provides portability at no extra charge.

For it's size, this thing sounds fantastic. Obviously you won't get booming bass, but you'll be surprised how much you do get from such a small set of speakers. The design is easy on the eyes and I thought it'd look great on my bedside table. Sadly, I noticed that my iPhone 3G made a horribly loud noise about every 10 minutes. It sounded like a loose wire being wiggled. I'm going to take it back and try another one, but possibly it's my phone. Otherwise I'd give this 5 stars.

I've wanted this since It came out because all of the other sounddocks I've had did not messure up to Bose. You can't blare your speakers out, but, I don't think that's the point of a Bose sounddock. You will be very shocked for how awesome it sounds considering it is so small.

I also had trouble with the remote and Bose was very nice and sent me a new one in the mail next day delivery.

I'm very happy and would recommend it my friends and family.

I recently bought the bose sound duck system. I had a very nice surround sound system in my room so I was expecting to move all of that out and then just put the bose in their hahaha. Well I was wrong. The bose sound system is amazing in sound but still not comparable to like a surround sound system. Sometimes on certain songs I wish bose let you control how much base and treble their was because on some songs there was either to much base or treble. Also one more thing i didn't like how it affected the sound depending on were the unit is. I mean if it is on the floor the direction and sound sounds weird I mean I have to make sure when I am in my room that it is pointed at me because if it is not tghe volume is 2x lower. Otherwise it is GREAT. keep on rockin bose!
