Bose® - SoundDock® Series III Speaker - Limited Edition Color Collection - Green

I am so happy with my boss speaker the song is so Clear

I recently wrote a review for the IPod Touch 5th gen about being unable to play on the Sound Dock without having to remove the case. I spoke with the techs at the Apple store and explained the frustration as another reviewer previously wrote about. The tech recommended a solution. Use a case that has an open bottom instead of individual openings for the ports, and that should resolve it. Well, I had already spent $$$ on an Otterbox Defender case, but if I could find a suitable replacement case that would persuade me from returning the Bose Sounddock III , I would consider that. I found a hard shell case with an open bottom at Walmart for $15. This has solved the problem. Had I known about the lightning connector problem on the Sounddock before I bought the Otterbox case, I would not have bought the Otterbox case. Hope this updated review is helpful.

Looked at available iPhone/iPod speaker systems and chose the Bose unit due to it having a Lightning connector. I've always found Bose products to produce great sound. This unit puts out plenty of volume and has solid bass and rich sound. Not much to say for features as you just plug in your iPhone/iPod and then use the remote to play, adjust volume, skip. etc. The unit does not take up much deskspace and being only a few inches deep sits nicely at the back of my desk.

This set of speakers have Amazing sound. I am however disappointed with the sales person who sold them to to me. I specifically asked him for Bluetooth speakers I listened to a less expensive set Bose speakers I don't know through Bluetooth or not but these sounded much better and they're only $50 more but the sales guy never told me that they were not Bluetooth I bought them for my wife for her birthdayby the time she opened them and discovered they were not Bluetooth it was too late to bring them back. Luckily she likes them

Although I thought this speaker was priced too high I wanted a high quality lightning dock for my ipod. I've been using this for a while now and have really enjoyed music and podcasts. Like most stand alone speakers this one doesn't have the full dynamic range of a full blown sound system but then there's a price tag difference of several thousand dollars too. I have Bose speakers integrated into my surround system and they have performed perfectly for 18 years.

I really like this sound dock good sound, my only gripe with it is the iPhone connector and it's not Bose's fault it's Apple. If you have a case like an otterbox forget connecting it because it will not reach the connector it's not near long enough. I was reading somewhere that's one of Apples stipulations for the lightning connector it has to stay within a certain length. So I would def recommend if you have a case on your iPhone as 90% of people I know do purchase the Bose Bluetooth adapter!

I love that I can recharge my iPad or iPhone and listen to music at the same time. The remote works with quite a bit of distance between it and the system. The base I was great and vocals are very clear. Return your type of music. The only thing I would change is that you could operate it on batteries as well. Will have this for long time.

Purchased this to replace a broken SoundDock series I. Main problem with these is the connector. I purchased the Bluetooth SoundLink III but it was no comparison with volume & amplification. If not concerned with portability, get the SoundDock III. The III also has a secondary jack, so if/when the Apple Lightning connector fails, there is a backup connection.
