The Bose SoundDock Series 10 is a docking station and speaker system for your iPod iPhone or other Mp3 devices. It’s basically one big speaker with the docking station for the iPod built into it. The dock is also compatible with the iPhone. It also has a basic 3.5 mm auxiliary input, but that’s about it in regards to connectivity. The auxiliary jack is great if you want to connect other devices to the dock other than your iPod, for example a CD-Player or other mp3-Players.

Personally, I use the auxiliary jack to connect my Blu-Ray player to the Sound Dock, which is great to replace the built-in speakers of my TV. In spite of the fact that my TV is a dolby stereo set, the SoundDock gives better stereo separation and deeper sound. When the iPod or the iPhone are connected through the docking station, the mp3 files sound very rich as the dock outputs the sound so well.

The other benefit of course is all your gadgets are being charged, even while you’re playing songs. 

 The speakers are protected by a metal grill on the front. The slim design makes this speaker portable, as it’s surprisingly light. I take it with me when I’m teaching Yoga classes for example, and it’s so easy to just Pop it into my bag. The sound really fills the room beautifully.

The modern design looks good too, so you can use it in any room in the house. This one is the Bose SoundDock Series 10
which is one of Bose’s top of the range docking stations and so it is a bit more expensive than the others, but just check out how good it looks!

Lets take a brief look at some of the Bose SoundDock Series 10 highlights

  • Advanced waveguide speaker technology–only from Bose–enables full-bodied sound, especially in lower registers, for more natural-sounding bass and percussion instruments.
  • Newly designed woofer has a larger magnet than conventional woofers – for powerful performance, with low notes you can feel.
  •  Bose digital signal processing circuitry enables finer control over the sound for more consistent, life like music reproduction  even at  low volume levels.
  • The SoundDock 10 digital music system is Apple-certified and compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, iPod nano, iPod classic and any iPod featuring a click wheel.
  • Video output lets you watch iPod/iPhone video on your TV while listening on your SoundDock 10 system.
  • Auxiliary input allows you to play an MP3 player, CD/DVD player, or TV through the system.
  • Remote control handles power, volume, track seek, and iPod playlists from anywhere in the room.
  • Docked iPod/iPhone charges, even while playing, as long as the system is plugged in.

Overall sound quality is quite impressive for such small speakers. Even at lower bitrates, the sound is broad and expansive. The bass notes sound great too. This is achieved by Bose’s sound technology called “Waveguide”. This technology allows for rich and lifelike sound in smaller units like the Bose Sound Dock. Normally you would need a much bigger system to get a high quality sound like that.  

 In my opinion it’s clearly the best iPod docking station out there.

The Sound Dock comes with a small remote which is quite nice. It has a uniquely “simplistic” design, which makes it very easy to use, typical for Bose. People who prefer remotes with a lot of different functions might be disappointed, but ease of use is without doubt the priority in this case. The functions are limited  to on/off, volume, forward, backward, play/pause. Whilst it’s not possible to navigate through the iPod menu using the remote, as you can with some of the exceptionally expensive docking stations, but you can use the remote for playlist navigation, which is great.

The Bose Sound Dock Series 10 is typical Bose.

Top quality, sleek design and more importantly powerful responsive sound even in the base range. I’m recommending it. It’s awesome!
