There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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!
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.
Totally WOWED at the AMAZON seller, a RYAN PEIF working under the business name PEIFINATOR.... all good...NO - GREAT / TREMENDOUS ... and this MR. PEIF was easily accessible, cordial, reassuring, professional, pleasant, and above all, EASY TO WORK WITH ! !
