Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Wanted a SoundDock for a long time. Heard good things. Felt as though Bose had a great reputation. Felt as though the price tag justified the quality I would surely receive and enjoy. Justified the purchase as an addition to the new baby room in our home. Felt I would be able to enjoy great sound at very low volumes. I do enjoy sound, ok sound, and a nice high-pitched buzz noise that never goes away. I've since tossed the packaging, but am trying to draft a believable story in my head so I can toss this thing on Craig's List tomorrow.

Strengths:
It's white.

Weaknesses:
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Review 2 of 3

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
The Bose SoundDock delivers very crisp, bright tones, easily filling a much larger space than it looks like it could handle. I've never even had to push the volume up much at all to hear it throughout my whole (admittedly pretty open) house. I tend to keep my pod docked there when I am not carrying it around with me, so it is always charged and ready to go, which is nice. The controls are extremely simple: just volume up and down buttons, nothing else. There's a downside to all this clarity and simplicity, however. When you switch from George Winston to Massive Attack, there's no adjustment you can make to accomodate the difference in sound. If you are going to be listening to music with great dynamic range that also requires support for a deep, driving bass, you aren't going to get it from the SoundDock. I have also found it to buzz occasionally at even quite low volumes with some heavy sounds (some of this is massage music, not even speaking of metal), and that's not good at all. So, if you are looking for simplicity, extreme clarity and great brightness, this could be the device for you. Otherwise, keep looking.

Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I heard this "THING" at a store on the Navy sub Base in Groton Connecticut. After 5 seconds i walked away. Wall of Sound NOT. Massive distortion YES. Will BOSE make anything that sounds like it plays MUSIC. This "product" does not even rate 1 Star. Remember Friends do not let friends buy Bose.

Strengths:
Makes a good door stop.

Weaknesses:
Bose. All marketing and no great audio. Bose is terrified to publish specs on there stuff because "we " do not need that information. Have you ever wondered why the Best car out there uses Mark Levinson Gear. Even James bond uses Linn in his aston Martin.

Similar Products Used:
Tivoli Model 3 table radio.

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
