Who knows Bose products and prices a bit, do not you get for 115-150 in the US company a lot of luxury and amenities, at best, but clean sound. The bass sound good, but unfortunately lacks an equalizer, you have to sound so like as it comes. For the size of the dock he is good, but there are, of course, Bose and others even better sound quality. The SoundDock is spartan. It has neither Bluetooth nor NFC, it has no remote control, no battery installed, is not to operate wirelessly, has no keyboard but two volume touchpads. Very inconvenient is that Sounddock constantly sucking power, because no on / off switch is available. Remains just pull cable. Also the power supply is at the end of the power cord and takes additional space during transport away. The charging of an empty IPhones succeed in just under 3 hours and is faster than with the iPhone cable alone. At the same load IPhone and play another device via AUX unfortunately not working. The design is decorated in white and dark gray, and the boxes have flashy sound holes promise a private acoustic design with quality sound. It is exclusively for Apple devices of the latest generation with Lightning connector port (from iPhone 5, all devices from 2012) and other smart phones / music player device via cable AUX-In used. The trough with plug is wide enough for an iPhone 6plus. Pure speakers without their own function. Thanks to 1.5 kilos, the 30cm wide system is quiet and safe. A trick of the Lightning connector is, the iPhone can not be loaded and operated with protective covers. If only a few millimeters between the connector and smartphone are, there will be no connection.
All in all with the highest standards you can not continue in this SoundDock, then you have to reach far deeper into their pockets. 115 is not a cheap deal, but processing and performance are good and I like the sound.
