I received one for Christmas last year (2007) and have used it extensively. It even provided background music for a party of 100 people in a huge party room. People could not believe the sound was coming from this small thing. The quality and sound of the music is untouchable. The battery has lasted over 4 hours at a time with the volume pretty loud. Incredible! And I have not had a single problem. I have used it with 3 different ipods (2 different nanos, classic 80 gb, and ipod touch) and all work just fine. Well worth the money!!

I come from a family of Bose users. I bought my first Bose speakers about 20 years ago. I got this portable iPod dock unit today. I am not surprised at the quality of sound. I am already used to it. Nothing else can compare. I tried another brand but had to return it.

When listening to Beethoven tonite, it's like the orchestra is in the same room as you are. The full-bodied sound quality is so unique it simply cannot be paralled nor questioned.

YES, you will undoubtedly feel some pain in your pocketbook when you buy this product. It is very expensive but the enjoyment you will get out of it will last through many years and for that alone, it is worth paying the extra $$$.

If you were to keep this unit for 3 years, you will have paid 36 cents a day for enjoyment that is totally priceless.

Bottom line -- this is the ROLLS ROYCE of sound docks. The best sound to ever come out of an iPod sound dock system.

I picked up one of these for the bedroom. It really shines when hooked up to a 3G iPhone... You not only get remote-control access to your iTunes songs on the iPhone, or over wifi/3G, you get fantastic sound from music generation or streaming apps such as Easy Relax (free configurable ambient noise generator, fantastic to sleep to), last.fm (the "recommended radio" feature is excellent), Pandora, the built-in alarms, incoming phone call rings, and other application sources of sound. I just wish the remote could send forward-track messages to applications other than the built in iPod software player.

They have some kind of anti-vibration technology going on so even at loud volumes and with lots of bass, the unit doesn't vibrate at all. Knock Bose all you want, they still have some smart people there...

Trust me- You will not believe the sound from this thing, and since it's portable you can now bring it anywhere- party on the patio or roof, other rooms, just outside the bathroom door while you shower (it's probably not moisture-proof!), on business trips, in a dorm room, etc.

It is not cheap but you are certainly getting what you are paying for with this device.

Fantastic sound, so good and clear that actually enhances the original media. I have played classic Rock & Roll music of the 70's & 80's and the sound is better than the original. I have played this Bose marvel on an open beach at medium volume, many people have enjoyed the music from 50+ yards away, even more so in open water.
Many peoples are very curious when they hear the sound
from this unit and are amazed at its quality.
I use it as my ipod dock and also for my MP3 devices. I have had no tecnical problems at all. The remote control feature allows selection of various music types thru the iPod device. I raccomend it to anyone that enjoys good music sound.

Great unit - superb sound. Bose is pricey but this unit is worth it if you want an iPod speaker system.
