Bose SoundDock: Compare prices

By Brian Haverty on 14/02/2005

More Bose reviews , RRP: AU$499.00

The good:

  • Impressive sound compared to other portable systems
  • Charges iPod while docked
  • Rich bass Remote control included

The bad:

  • Only works with third- and fourth-generation iPods (and iPod minis)
  • Expensive for a set of speakers
  • Power supply is rather large

The bottomline:

If you don't mind the high price, the SoundDock will turn your iPod into a party stereo system where anybody can play DJ.

      The MYTube iPod dock throws everything it can into a dock, and then a little bit more. Only some of it sticks, mind you.

      iPhone 3G owners have a strong incentive to splurge on Altec Lansing's T612. Every other iPod owner should look elsewhere, though.
