Performance 

Using this Bose Sounddock series ii is as simple as simple can get. The iPod dock is located between the speakers with a volume button on each side. Set your iPad or iPhone to play, place it on the dock, and you’re good to go. The unit comes with a simple remote with large buttons that are easy to press. You can skip through your playlists and choose what you want to listen to using the remote. 

It is impressive that this Bose Sounddock portable has an external standardized mini-plug that can charge your iPhone while you play your music from another device. You just have to long press the other device’s play button, and this Bose Sounddock 2 will automatically configure and accept it. 

LED lights on speakers add a certain edge that is hard to resist. This Bose Sounddock digital music system has flashing green LED lights at the front, which indicate volume changes. They may not be as flashy as some other speakers like JBL, but they still make the Bose iPhone speaker a sight for sore eyes. 

Its patented digital signal processing circuitry powers Bose speakers for iPod and produces amazing sound. It is relatively smooth, the mid-range is full, and the highs are detailed. I do, however, find the bass to be exaggerated and the sound to lack absolute neutrality. You could add a subwoofer if you want, but the Bose sound machine works just fine without it.

Despite being against the price point, I must admit that Bose did a good job with this Bose speaker with iPod dock. Being such a small compact machine, it is amazing that they managed to turn it into such an expansive soundstage. All the elements are coherent and distinct despite everything being so compressed. Set up this unit in a medium-sized room, and you will be tapping your toes to every beat.

It is sad, though, that these iPod sound systems are not portable. This Bose iPhone speaker functions only off its wall adapter and has no battery compartment. It would have been nice if I could take it out with me for a picnic or something. This also means that without electricity, you’ve got no music either. 

Bose Sounddock for iPod is a major improvement from the original, which did not have an auxiliary input that this unit has now. The design is better now with the front and top curves compared to the oversized speaker grille on the original.

Conclusion 

iPod sound docks are a wave in the market, and many people are going for them. They come with exciting features that are hard to resist. 

The Bose sound dock series 2 is a wonderful product guaranteed to give you an amazing sound experience. I do, however, think the price is unreasonable. Not to say it is not affordable, it is; I just feel it could have had more to offer at that price. 

Still, if you want to elevate your experience, this Bose sound dock 2 is definitely a go-to sounddock.
