Bose SoundDock Series II 30-Pin iPod/iPhone Speaker Dock (Black)

I got a really good deal on this Bose Sound Dock system. It works great with my iPhone 4s (ignore the other customers who says it doesn't). The original price was $249.99 on Bose.com and I knew I could find it cheaper so I went here to Amazon and found it at a really good price. If you don't know about Bose, it's a high quality sound system. It comes installed in most GM cars, they have surround systems, speakers, and even a suspension system for your car that gives you a smooth ride. I would know because I have the Bose stereo system in my car and the Bose suspension system. But anyway bragging about how awesome Bose is... The Bose Docking System II is very small. The sound quality is so clear. The packaging came within it's time frame. It was very well packaged. I purchased a used docking system but I can't tell it's used because it's in such great condition. In the back of the product, it has an auxiliary output. It didn't come with an auxiliary cord. I don't know if it was supposed to but I have my own cord so it didn't matter to me. Also in the box is the remote (new remote). The volume, play, and off buttons are the only ones that work. I don't have a problem getting up and changing the song myself. The sound quality is what you would expect from Bose. And if you are a common Bose customer, you know that Bose makes the smallest products and they get REALLY LOUD. The sound is really clear (unless you have a song that is mono; I strongly recommend that you have all songs in stereo. Songs in mono sound crappy on any sound system). I haven't turned it up all the way because I stay in my dorm and I don't want to get a noise complaint lol. I couldn't bring my huge stereo on campus so the Sound Dock replaced it and is just as loud and saves a lot of space. I think this product is good for a party or a get together. It's pretty to look at as well. Simplicity of sound at it's finest. And also on my invoice I received a coupon at blinq.com I do plan on using it soon. I give it a 5-star review. The thing is pretty awesome and it's a good deal!

Wow..the sound is absolutely incredible. I went and gave this device a second chance and saved a lot of money. Im so glad I did. It gave my old iPad new life. I can listen to all the music that is on it again without a wired headset. Had it on all day Thanksgiving and the unit also charged my ipod and when I went to turn it off. It had a full charge. The unit has a great bass and volume can go very loud. Sound quality is what you'd expect from Bose. Im so glad I read the reviews on this. I was on the fence with this. So very Happy with this product. It was so easy to plug in and start listening. The ipod connected right in on the pins. Couldn't be easier. It's perfect. Don't be afraid to give a product a 2nd chance. My family and friends were very impressed with the sound. I wish the video sound would give it justice.

The sound quality is fantastic. The company was easy to work with.

The Bose SoundDock has the Bose quality sound you would expect. It is a great way to play your IPOD, just plug it into the dock and play. You do not have any control over bass and treble, just volume. The remote has a good feel to it and responds well. There is a small green light in the dock that lights up each time you press a remote button. You will usually use the remote to change the volume, select the next or previous track and turn it on/off. The SoundDock itself only has 2 buttons for volume up and down. The volume goes louder than I expected and I never have turned it up all the way, even when the kids are playing their IPODs. There are a few things they could have improved......The power cord has the transformer built into the middle of the cord, it should have been built into the unit. The power cord plugs straight into the back of the SoundDock with a small round plug and it will come out easily if the unit is moved. The docking station is a seperate piece that is attached and it moves around a little which makes it feel loose. There isn't an on/off switch on the unit, just the remote, so you have to turn the IPOD off or use the remote to turn them both off, or just pull the IPOD out. My SoundDock was missing one of the stick on rubber feet on the bottom. I called Bose support and they mailed me one free. Overall it's a great quality unit where it counts but Bose cut corners where they could on the rest of it. We do love it and use it almost everyday.

Wow! It took a while to get. But it was worth the wait. The sound quality on this Bose docking station is outstanding!

Even expecting the best in a Bose product, this recondition far surpassed that. Many thanks Loe $ Nick. All the Best.

I am very pleasantly surprised with this thing. Though not a hardcore audiophile, I do take my equipment very seriously, and have generally avoided Bose based on the recommendations of the "experts". But I am VERY discerning, love all types of music, and only buy excellent quality stuff. Enough about me... My intent was to buy a competitor to this unit the day after Christmas, but I received the Bose Sounddock 2 as a Christmas gift. Its outstanding with my iPhone 4 set to "Rock" for a bit of treble and bass boost. Bass is full and tight, much deeper than I expected from such small speakers. For tracks with very deep bass punch there will be holes...4" drivers can only go so low, but the limits are way down there and I can't imagine any small unit can go there anyway. I've been on a Moby kick lately, and the Sounddock handles almost all of his ever-present bass. Treble is fine...present but not over-boosted. All the detail is there, but it doesn't sound artificial or over-done. But where I think the Bose really excels is in the midrange. Vocals are perfectly clear and distinct, shockingly so. Its difficult to describe, but I really do feel that I hear much more of the music with this unit. It isn't at all "tinny" like cheap units that over-boost midrange. Its...just right. Overall sound is superb, rich with detail. Cello is full with all the bite and edge of a live performance. Opera is beautifully balanced with unbelievably clear and detailed vocals perectly balanced with the orchestra. Anything acoustic is as life-like as I've ever heard with the subtle details that aren't easily reproduced in recordings...guitar, strings, drums, etc. Rhythm and big bass are tight, with much better than expected low-frequency response. Also, whether at high or low volume the sound is the same...something you wont hear with lesser-quality audio bits. So much to my surprise Bose has won me over with a well-balanced and superbly-detailed sound. Hope this review is useful to you.

I'm a bit disappointed but I guess I'll keep it. It came with the charger and the remote as supposed to. I haven't tried the remote yet as I don't have a battery but that's not too big of a deal as I know you can purchase new remotes. A couple little smudges on the unit though that doesn't really bother me. The main things were that the dock worked properly and charged the i-pod/phone. Next of coarse the sound. As the dock charged my old iphone 4s I was glad. Then getting into listening to some music. Right away I noticed the right side was way louder that the left. Though lows still came through the left speaker I could easily tell it was no where near as loud as the other side. Luckily I bought one of these brand new many years ago and have it in another room. I went and tested that one just to be sure it's not how they were. That one was equally loud on both sides. So yup. One blown speaker. It still goes very loud and if you are a bit away from it, it still sounds pretty good. One other thing. As I'm listening to it right now. There is a much louder than normal buzzing probably coming from the connection from the phone to dock. Maybe this would not be if connected through the audio input on the back. I saw a couple people leave reviews about blown speakers. I was hoping my would be in "very good" condition as stated it should be in. Oh well. Sad the people selling these don't at least listen to them or check them out to see if they are up to par. Or they just don't care. I hope others who order one of these used units gets one a little better than mine. Hey, they don't sell them anymore so roll the dice I guess if you really want one.
