Introduction
The iPod has some good things about it: simple, easy to use (not relevant for iTunes though) and certainly, its storage capacity. Its sound quality faces criticism because of the really, really bad earphones that tag along. Ofcourse, it still has a fan following and since its conception, a whole new market for iPod accessories and complementary devices has evolved. Many companies including Apple have released speaker systems commonly known as iDocks for a better iPod audio experience. In this article, we shall see how Bose performs as an iDock with its SoundDock Digital Music System.


The Package
SoundDock Digital Music System (dimensions: 16.89cm x 30.26cm x 16.47cm and weight: 2.1 kg)
Remote control
Power cords (3 different types)
Power pack
Dock inserts (3)
Owner's Manual




First Impression
When I first saw the SoundDock, my eyes lit up. It's not that it looks amazing (okay, maybe a little bit), but the packaging was very appealing. The dock arrived in a rectangular whitebox which may have you believing the SoundDock to be a bit bigger than it actually is. I opened the box to find the dock neatly tucked between two cardboard casings, begging me to take it out.

Does any one have a problem with the top-loading wave radio? Bought one 4 years ago and after one year had to hand it in for repair because it would start to show "disc CD" on the display and then not play any CD. Gave it for repair to very fussy guys, but they finally replaced some part and returned it. Now in 2008, the same problem has come up. Last time they told me it was a defective/worn out CD lens which had a limited life. Question is, how limited? DO you pay 36 K for something that has to be replaced every three years? At a cost of 3000/-??? JJ

last year I brought Bose Wave Radio, same time also brought a Denon mixer/ amplifier along with Jamo Speakers. Later repented, I should have spent my money on Bose systems alone. Denon dealer sold and ran, no one in sight to repair my stuff.

Hi! In regard to Bose docker.... It is very good. But try the KLIPSCH its is styled better in black and surely worth its price. also has aux input!!

The sound quality is very good. What is holding me back is the lack of aux input. Why Bose has made such a nice product exclusively for Ipod, I cant understand. But let me leave on a high note, the sound quality it has is not found anywhere.

By the way JBL speakers are nowhere near it in sound quality as i checked it at their showroom.

I have used it for 6 months and noticed the by time the sound quality of BOSE actually gets better -- My friend was telling me something about burn in and told me to leave it at med - high volume for some hrs and voila, the sound(especially bass) became more deeper and now i use it everyday.. recommended to anyone who has the money. You can get it for 17.5 k's.
