Bose have a great reputation in the audio market for the excellent product design, build quality and of course their audio performance. Best known for their high end hi-fi equipment and wave speaker technology, Bose have turned their attention to the digital market over the past few years and now hold true their excellent reputation in the iPod dock market with the highly rated Bose SoundDock range of docking stations. These SoundDocks are fantastic way to quickly transform your iPod music collection from their rather tinny headphone only world into a full on hi-fi experience in your home (or even on the move depending on which model you go for!).
The SoundDock range is split into four different models each with different features to cater to individual needs. Despite the vary level of price between the different models they all share one thing in common which is fantastic audio reproduction. The base model, its full moniker being the 'Bose Sounddock iPod Digital Music System' will cover most peoples needs and does exactly what you'd expect. Simply dock your iPod in the cradle and you'll be enjoying rich quality sound in your living room. The base model, as with every model in the range, charges your iPod when it's docked, and comes with a remote.
The next model up is called the Series II and is more or less the same as the base model with the exception of one particular feature - the Series II is also equipped with an auxiliary port so you can use pretty much any kind of audio equipment with it, not just your iPod. The third model in the series is called the SoundDock Portable... can you guess what sets this one apart? Running from a rechargeable battery, as opposed to mains power, the SoundDock Portable can be grabbed by its carry handle and hey presto, you've got the Bose audio experience on the move! The final, top end model in the range is the SoundDock 10 - a genuine big brother to the rest of the series it really is a significant step up from its smaller siblings.
Whilst the rest of the range share very similar, if not identical innards, the SoundDock 10 usually a substantially higher end speaker and amplifier set up for genuine high-end hi-fi quality sound. The price of the SoundDock 10 is a tad eye watering, especially when compared to the lower models in the range, but for the audiophile it is certainly worth investigating if nothing but the best will do!
