kbolton72's Full Review: Bose SoundDock® (Black) Docking Station for A...
Long live the boomboxes of the world!!!
Times sure have changed. I remember as a little girl dancing around the huge record player that was head to toe, listening to the Beatles on a Friday night. As a teenager, I bounced around the beach with a sub-woofing cassette playing boombox belting out Huey Lewis and the News. Now, I have new and vintage AC/DC spewing forth from my Apple iPod, out the Sounddock station created by Bose!
While this does not work for any of the other MP3 players, as I wish it would for the hefty price tag, my favorite playlists are on my iPod, so I can live with it! It charges the battery, and plays music with amazing clarity and comes with a handy remote control for the volume and switching to the next song forward/backwards on your playlist. It is attractive, and is about 6" tall, 12" wide, very slim, lightweight and portable. It is much better than the iHome which I purchased last summer.
It cradles your iPod like a phone base, and has the appearance of a wide screen computer monitor or a small flat screen television. The music comes pouring out with heavy bass, even tones and no static or blaring. I like my music loud, and lucky for me, I haven't had to "crank" this at all to enjoy the tone and reverberation!
It can fit almost anywhere, I have mine set up in my entertainment center, where most of my auditory electronics are housed. Also, because it is in the center of my apartment, where I can hear everything loud and clear. The only negative? The uber-high cost! At over $200, you are in it for the long haul!!
I actually listen to it so much in the house, that I rarely take it out anymore, even though it is very easy to put it in the dock, or to take it out. It has the adaptors to fit any of the members of the iPod family, so it is easy to set up and get started on your playlists. My boys have their own iPods, so I do have to share, and at times, they will take it into their rooms to enjoy.
This is especially great if you do many things in your home that you want or need your favorite playlists, or are ongoing stream of favorite songs. Whether you work-out, renovate, have a home office, or host parties and social functions, this is much better than having a multi-playing cd player or constant radio. You can enjoy your song lists that you have personally created, even when you are taking a bath, outdoor grilling, or swimming in the pool!
