Bose SoundDock Series II Description:

The Bose SoundDock Series II is the improved version of the original SoundDock (iPod only).  The Series II supports for both the iPod and iPhone which is a significant improvement.

While having almost identical design as the original SoundDock, the new version has an auxiliary input for playing music from your mp3 player, music-enabled phone or cd player. Another difference is the Series II comes with an eight button infrared remote control instead of the original's six button version. The new dock also incorporates two buttons for volume control.

Wireless interference is also kept at the minimum when docking an iPhone to the speaker system. Unlike the original, Series II charges both iPhone as well as iPhone 3G and although it does not charge the earliest dock connecting iPod, it charges all other version of iPods.

One similarity between the two speaker systems is the fact that they share the same simple and clean design, the system is practically buttonless, except the two volume buttons found in Series II.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Great Sound
Excellent Construction
Cons: Price

Review

The Bose SoundDock Series II picks up right where the series one leaves off. The Series II is an excellent way to listen to your iPhone.

The setup and use is very easy. Plug the bose system into the wall and insert your iPhone or iPod and go. Just that easy.

The sound lives up to the high standards Bose has set. Good Sound even at louder volume. Bose always seems to attract those who say they are no good, but to 99% of the population Bose speakers have a rich clear sound.

If you have the money to spend on a Bose speaker system you will not be disappointed. If you are looking to give the Bose SoundDock Series II as a gift, the recipient will not be disappointed.

The SoundDock Series II is just about everything you would be looking for in a home speaker system. It would be nice to see it battery powered. I am sure they will have that version out soon.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Designed well, sound is superior and will outlast your ipodiphone
Cons: none

Review

I've owned other speakers in the $150 - $250 range and they don't deliver the depth and clarity of the bose system. In addtion, the other brands wear quickly and start to loose their quality of sound. A good quality bose setup will outlast your iphone and probably the next 2 generations.

 

Not worth it

Pros and Cons

Pros: Clean looks, OK sound
Cons: OK sound, way overpriced compared to the competition

Review

Bose spends millions of $$ to get folks to buy their products. You can do just as good if not better for a 1/3 the price with most JBL & Klipsh produts.

 

It's premium speaker
