Bose SoundDock 10 review

This powerful-sounding iPod speaker dock goes extremely loud and now it's more affordable

Scale, presence and weight ; goes loud ; Bluetooth support

Lacks subtlety at times ; doesn’t have the premium feel of rivals

A price cut sees the Bose jump a star; want big sound with Bluetooth? Here it is

Bose SoundDock 10 review

Bose has built a reputation for quality audio devices based on clever marketing, and the Bose SoundDock 10 is no exception. An iPod dock with no on-board controls, this device combines minimal styling with a neat remote, and certainly has the wow...

The Bose SoundDock 10 is a classy-looking accessory that offers distortion-free playback. For the price, sound isn’t exceptional, but bear in mind that it can be found much cheaper online. However, we don't particularly like the lack of controls on the...

Bose SoundDock 10 review

This Bose dock gives you plenty of box for a considerable outlay if bucks, and throws in Bluetooth too. Is it your iPod's best friend?

Big, bold and Bluetooth but it could be easier on the bank balance

Bose SoundDock 10 review

Believe it or not, iPod speakers were once rare objects--and Bose's SoundDock was one of the first to hit the market back in 2004. Since then, the company has followed up with the SoundDock II ($299) and the SoundDock Portable ($399), even as the iPod...

Really good sound from a compact, single-speaker; classy, minimalist styling; plays loud without distorting, and fills a large room; simple to operate; interchangeable dock system; composite video output/line input; GSM shielded for iPhones.

Expensive; optional Bluetooth dock accessory works well but is $150 extra; no radio; you can't charge your iPod/iPhone when using the Bluetooth accessory; video-out limited to low-res composite connection.

While it's expensive and isn't loaded with features, the Bose SoundDock 10 is classy looking and sounds excellent for a compact iPod/iPhone speaker.

Bose SoundDock review

It looks businesslike, doesn't it? But we reckon the Bose SoundDock can party with the best of 'em.

The SoundDock gives a great performance – along with a compact size and fantastic looks.

Bose SoundDock (white) review

Bose does iPod The huge popularity of the iPod has given rise to a cottage industry of iPod accessories , including various speakers that help turn your iPod into a boombox. With Apple's blessing, Bose has entered the world of iPod with its SoundDock...

The Bose SoundDock is simple to set up and use: attractive design; sounds good compared to other iPod speakers; charges iPod while docked; includes basic remote.

Expensive; works only with iPods (and iPod Minis) equipped with a docking connector.

If you don't mind the high price and lack of an auxiliary input, the Bose SoundDock will turn your iPod into a nice bedroom or office stereo system.

Bose SoundDock 10 review

Bose's SoundDock 10 boasts an iPod dock with a neat remote.

Classy looking accessory; distortion-free playback; can be found much cheaper online

For the price, sound isn’t exceptional; no controls on the dock; navigating controls isn’t perfect; Bluetooth dock costs more

We also found navigating iPod playlists via the remote to be less responsive then we’d like, which can lead to some frustrating listening.

Review: Bose SoundDock

Bose SoundDock is a “battery” powered digital music system, which enables your iPod to reach acme music levels through the fullness and clarity of the speakers.
