Bose SoundDock dispensed with the XT completely on the usual material mix of metal and plastic. All parts are molded in plastic and have a mat surface. The most striking design feature has been designed for the front, behind which hide the speaker. Instead of a cover made of acoustically transparent cloth, the engineers rely here on a nice hole, the irregular expires at the edges, giving you a modern look. Even the Dock, on the iPod or the iPhone be parked is now much nicer integrated into the overall and no longer acts as "flanged" in previous models. To operate the volume are located next to the Lightning connector, the buttons for loud and soft. If the actual control of the music on the audio device you are using. On the back are the connector for the power cord, and an Aux input for connecting external devices.
Conclusion: The SoundDock XT like it very much because of the appealing designs. It is simple constructed schnörkelos and focuses on the main feature, the sound! Here I believe the sound across the board. He is differentiated space-filling and balanced. The bass sound full, but do not cover the midrange and treble. It's amazing what the little thing can do. Who can do without Bluetooth or fine materials and is set to minimalist design, which is very well served by the SoundDock XT.
