  Best speaker system for iPod

  by Jason-iPod-Fan on April 6, 2010

  Pros: The Bose really sounds great. It is loud enough to use at a party, much louder than you would expect for its size. Also looks stylish.

  Cons: I wish it came with the bluetooth connector rather than this being an additional expense. Also wish it had buttons in case the remote goes missing.

  Not that impressed considering the price!

  by Enpar4 on November 27, 2009

  Pros: Plays loud, clean simple design

  Cons: Slow sluggish bass response when playing anything with a bit of beat and tempo to a point that the subwoofer seems out of time compared with the mid/high frequency drivers. Certain low range frequencies boom and overpower the rest of the system..

  Summary: £700 price tag here in the UK and I'd be reluctant to pay even £400 for it. Don't get me wrong this dock will produce low bass notes, ...

  Summary: £700 price tag here in the UK and I'd be reluctant to pay even £400 for it. Don't get me wrong this dock will produce low bass notes, clear highs with bags of volume but the large woofer and little twiddlers just don't sound right together. The woofer booms and rumbles along but with a real lack of energy and engagement to point it almost seems to be lagging behind the rest of the system in its timing. I have been playing a sounddock portable next to this unit for quite some time now and can honestly say that the portable sounds better balanced and more realistic. I play the same track on both docks and find the 10 irritates me with is bloated lazy bass and thin mid range but the same track on the portable has my foot tapping along with the music. Ok the portable dosen't have the same scale of sound or sheer volume of the 10 but to me the portable is a much better system to enjoy music on at moderate volumes.
  I have the Sd 10 on 30 trial and it will be going back. I'm disappointed because I really wanted to like it...I was looking for something to upgrade the portable with to really fill our living room with great sound but unfortunately it only plays louder and not better for twice the price!

  Too expensive, poor quality sound for the price

  by bucswon on May 13, 2011

  Pros: Portable, easy setup, good design

  Cons: Little or no bass, tinny sound, can only operate with remote, the dock to click in your ipod, iphone is very flimsy and poor quality which makes it difficult to operate ipod, iphone device itself while docked.

  Summary: Way overpriced - better sound in PC speakers systems costing $100s of dollars less. Offers very limited video options through TV, etc.

  Deep, powerful bass.
  Cheap on the rest of the spectrum!

  by caligulaminus on July 16, 2010

  Pros: - bass can go deep, no turbulence noise (great acoustic design)
  - loud

  Cons: - cheap mid range
  - no treble (above 10kHz?)
  - hence expensive...

  Summary: I don't like it because I find for one of the most expansive docking in shops, it should have better midrange drivers, possibly a 3-way because I wouldn't ...

  Summary: I don't like it because I find for one of the most expansive docking in shops, it should have better midrange drivers, possibly a 3-way because I wouldn't take the risk to lose the one thing I like in there (bass)
  Retgarding functionality, not much to add to other brands (pure iPod dock, AuxIN)

  Typically overpriced item from Bose

  by josjoslyn on December 4, 2009

  Pros: Style, solid build

  Cons: Poor component add-ons - Bluetooth should be built in, Over-reliance on remote. There are MUCH better alternatives for less cash(and significantly better styled)

  Summary: Whilst this unit is well put together and does look - to a degree - stylish, but sadly now that 'look' is definitely more than a little dated, and to ...

  really wanted this to work , but sadly it was a fail

  by Shooter714 on December 12, 2010

  Pros: good sound

  Cons: My iPhone would not play through the dock, the salesman had to connect with a 1/8 inch jack. When I left the store I noticed that my iPone screen had four strange spots on it. Not a good demonstration :(

  Skimpy but something to listen too.

  by rlcato on October 4, 2009

  Pros: Solid, hefty system to fill a room with clean audio.

  Cons: Not a good tool. Can't recharge; pointless. No volume control? What were they thinking?

  Summary: When you look at it, quality workmanship is not the 1st thing that comes to mind -especially when it's 'painted' silver. Those slits -with indentations no less- in the ...

  Summary: When you look at it, quality workmanship is not the 1st thing that comes to mind -especially when it's 'painted' silver. Those slits -with indentations no less- in the top was an afterthought and it says nothing except dust magnet, hard to clean. The 'minimalist styling' dies right there, gone. The single, off centre, vertical opening on the back was a wasted opportunity if there ever was one (horizontal handle). It looks like a compartment to store something in. Just looking at it from the rear says 'Oops!' or television; butt ugly. You can never do enough without a smattering of ill-conceived plugs, off the shelf roundhead screws -indented, and big stickers. The only thing they spent several years on was locating the tramp-stamp: 'BOSE'

  Soundly overpriced

  by caponsacchi on December 16, 2009

  Pros: Realistic coverage of all frequencies.

  Cons: 12 times more expensive than the speaker I settled on.

  Summary: I was fortunate to pick up several Athena iVoices when they were going out of circulation, and I have yet to hear a system to compete with its broad imaging ...

  Summary: I was fortunate to pick up several Athena iVoices when they were going out of circulation, and I have yet to hear a system to compete with its broad imaging of the sound and "honest" bass (no artificial spiking), reproducing the lowest pedal board of a concert Tracker pipe organ.
