I think the majority of complaints people will have with this device regard its range. Remember, Bluetooth is SHORT range radio. So this works awesome in the 10 meter / 30 feet range. But if you're halfway across the house, it's probably going to suck.

I was apprehensive about buying this because a couple people complained about interference. However, the Bose store promised I could return it if it didn't work, so I bought it. Setup was super easy, and I was playing my kids favorite music in no time. The device is setup right by our wireless router, XBOX, etc. I decided that a simultaneous "Speed Test" from two different wirelessly connected computers would spit out lots of radio signals and interference. Guess what? The Bluetooth SoundDock 10 kept right on playing the music, absolutely without a hitch.

Couldn't recommend this product more highly. I love the SoundDock 10, but in the store we were trying it out and my son snatched the iPhone out of the player. Not the best behavior ... but probably more likely than not with kids. This lets you have your iPhone or iPod wherever you want ... and not attached to the player.

Highly recommended for wireless playback. Sounds absolutely great, and I cannot tell a difference between the wireless Bluetooth connection and a wired connection. It's that good. Just remember, it's not meant for a long distance connection. This is a short range, wireless connection. So keep your phone or player in the same room (that is what Bluetooth is for, after all) and you'll have no troubles.

In my opinion, this is a very neat attachment to the Sound Dock 10 if you don't want to be tied down.
I generally use the SD10 with my iPhone 3GS and i love the fact that my phone stays with me and i can still play music from it from a reasonable distance.

If you can afford it, it's a lovely extra you might want to invest it.

i like it!!!

Purchased because we have a number of Bluetooth devices (including iPad, iPhone, iTouch and Blackberry Torch) that we wanted to use and having the Sounddock on top of the fridge is not friendly for controlling the iPod.

1) irritating to have pay $150 for something that should cost $50-60, but that's Bose,

2) works well and range in my house has been well more than 30 feet. The signal becomes challenged with multiple walls however,

3) using the iPod while not being 'trapped' in the dock is much more music friendly for switching around songs,

4) pairing is simple, but can cause some irritation with multiple devices: it helps having Bluetooth turned off on the devices you don't want to use so the device you want to use is not competing for the connection,

Again, expensive, but it works and makes the Sounddock much more user friendly.

I didn't purchase this thru Amazon but I will like to let interested people in purchasing this item to know that is not rocket science to know that a wireless data source will not be the same than a wired one. It's normal that the sound quality gets impacted; however, I'm not experiencing any issues. The sound is great so far and I love it. This works great with the black berry, iPod touch and my laptop with Win 7. Vista is not working (who cares about Vista anyway?). The quality and fidelity is awesome and the best thing is that you can control the party from your pocket.

Sometimes I'm in my bed, with my laptop (poor speakers) resting in my belly watching a movie and I sync the system with the soundock and it sounds awesome.

Regarding the distance, I tried it with more than 15 feet of distance and no distortion.

It's super easy to install. Perfect for a below average end user. :)

it is a very nice product.. you will not see any difference in sound quality when listening wirelessly..a great product ... very useful as you can operate soundock 10 remotely from you iphone or ipod... !

We have several devices that allow you to pair them with others by Bluetooth and this seemed like the perfect item to add to the Bose SoundDock 10, which we had already decided to purchase. It was a little frustrating to remember that you must turn off one device when you are finished listening in order to pair it with another device. But when my music starts playing down the hall on my "smartphone" it gives me a little chuckle as I search for the phone to turn off the Bluetooth on that device. :) Still, a terrific accessory to add!

I use this BT adapter with my SD10 and Droid, and it's probably the best BT receiver that I've ever used. Perfect sound and I get around 40ft of distance with Pandora. It's makes for a great sound system.

Fantastic item!!! I was very concerned prior to buying the bluetooth for my sound dock 10 after reading the only review i could find in which the gentleman completely blasted the product and claimed that Bose had dropped the ball. This is NOT the case in my opinion. I have been using the bluethooth to connect my Blackberry Tour to the bose Sound Dock 10. The sound quality is unbelievable and am able to roam freely around the majority of my 2 story home (2800 sq. ft.). Granted my home has a fairly open floor plan and my Bose Sound Dock 10 is centrally located within the home. I could not be more happy with this product!

I bought the sounddock 10 as my seventeen year old birthday present to myself because 16 was a car 18 was becoming an adult and I wanted to make 17 special too. But I truly love it! The product puts more sound out then I could ever imagine. And the bluetooth function is great! I connect it to my Ps3,Ipod,MacBook pro and my Samsung Charge 4G. It works great with all of them and easily connects between the different devices. The only downfall is you lose a little bit of power in the lower register so I just bump my EQ up while using the bluetooth connect to take care of that.

It's a handy device specially for me with 3 laptops and 5 external hard discs full of MP3s... Sound quality is very good up to 15 feet (5 meters) after that, you may experience noices like weak radio signal. It's not really a big deal, most important thing to know about this device before you buy it is that you can not run around your house with your wireless device and still listen to the music through your sounddcock. Another thing is an interription each 20 minutes, interruption lasts for 0.5 second or less, guess it's normal, not really a big deal either. Overall it's a good device and possibly the best out there but I think it's very overpriced, should be no more than $40. Considering this fact, I bought my Sounddock 10 with it's Bluetooth dock both for 400 on Ebay, lightly used of course because chance of failure of Bluetooth device or speakers is very slim, my Bose speakers in my car have been used for more than a decade everyday and they still play back like the day 1. Bose is great but very overpriced.
