SoundDock Portable

This is a top-notch AC/DC unit that looks good and of course, it sounds good.
An earlier reviewer mentioned that there are no controls on the unit. There are loudness (often incorrectly called “volume”) control buttons on the right side of the unit.
Another earlier reviewer mentioned that he wished that the remote was waterproof. If you do damage the remote, at least a new one can be purchased at the Bose company Web site for $9.99 plus shipping. Most of their remotes are in fact priced at $9.99. The battery on the other hand does not come inexpensively – it's more than my car’s 60 month battery cost.
Reading the first ten pages (English) of the owner’s manual sheds some interesting information about the unit, including the unit's indicator light and the remote control. You might want to know how to get the unit to work if, after 14 or more days of no use, the battery goes into battery power protection mode, for instance. You might want to know what the various colors of trhe unit's indicator light means, and what a blinking light means. Yes, the owner's manual is online at the Bose compoany Web site.
This unit has some anti-vibration/shock features and the bass may even be better sounding than the non-portable unit because of the recessed handle area.
The unit does not have a video-out jack or an HDMI out jack.
The Bose Wave technology was used in the engineering of this excellent unit. Tip: To save money, look for package deals where the Sound Dock is packaged with an extra battery and carrying case. Bose products are rarely discounted; but might be when a model or color is discontinued, or when you find a money saving package deal. BestBUY is a fine store to shop.

I love this Bose speaker. It is so convienent and sounds great. We listen to it outside while we swim, we take it to the park, camping, boating, BBQ's, we take it everywhere. I don't know what we would do without it. The only thing that would be great is a water proof remote, so you could control it while you swim so you don't have to get out of the pool to change the song. It is a must have!!!!!

Incredible Portable Audio

The Soundock is an incredible little audio device. I use this all the time, even more than I expected. I am able to carry it wherever I want it, and the sound is incredible. I really don't know how they get such great quality sound into such a small package. If you are trying to decide whether or not to buy the Soundock, you should give it a try, you will not regret it.

Dock works with my i-Phone and has the Bose quality sound. It's easy to set up and it's conveniently portable. The only thing I would like is for the dock to have controls on the dock itself, not just the remote.

This is by far the best iPod speaker I've ever heard. Plus the portability makes it so much easier to carry it with you. I take mine to the beach all the time, and now i bring the party! lol.
