3.0 out of 5 stars Portable, but not durable..., November 22, 2007

By	Lauren Gale (No Left Turn, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love my Bose Sounddock. For this reason, I ran to the Bose store to check out the new portable sound dock with iPod in hand. I currently use my Sounddock in different rooms when cleaning/working out/cooking/etc. So it would be such a help to have a Sounddock that was more portable, particularly when moving room to room cleaning and for when I want to work outside this spring.

But I was rather disappointed. It's simply the old Sounddock with 'cubby' to put your hand (I never understood why there wasn't way to conveniently pick up the old Sounddock) and the dock swivels in. That's it. AND for that, it's $100 more. And it's not durable. When I think 'portable', I think it means something that one can take out to a park or when camping. I wouldn't take this camping...especially since it's $400.

It's great that Bose protected the most vulnerable part of the Sounddock (the dock), but I feel like it did nothing to protect the circuitry. Would this survive a drop? I don't think so. But Bose still makes the best iPod dock there is. The sound is second to none.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, if you have the money to spend!, January 6, 2008

By	Jay R. Chase (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Sound Dock definitely fills a niche. It allows you to hook up that Ipod without tying up any other sound devices... and it sounds awesome!! To get that sound takes a good bit of size and weight... I don't think their is much chance at any further trade-off, without spending a LOT more money.

The sound is typical Bose, rich, deep, vibrant, etc... I would be careful with the "portable" tag, because of the weight, but if you really need to, you could take it with you. No different than last decade's "Boom Box".

I use mine at work, because I really like the sound and it is low impact (just set up on the corner of my desk). I plug the Ipod in when I get to work and I've got podcasts, tunes, etc... all day long!

I suppose I could live without it, or have bought a cord to play into my old cd player, but for the money, I found this to be the most elegant and low profile solution. I highly recommend!!

All the best,

Jay

Bose doesn't always have the best in sound but this qualifies as the the best. Simple to use with a great sound.
