Customer Review: A great audio compliment
Summary: 4 Stars
With so many of these ipod speaker docks on the market, it was sort of struggle to decide. Ultimately, I felt very comfortable going with the Bose brand. Plus, in my opinion, this is about the sleakest and best-looking unit out there (I went with black; I'm not an Apple-white drone). The sound is very, very good for small to medium size spaces. There are not a lot of features to the unit, which I think is a good thing - it just focuses on the sound and the small footprint. Mini remote control work well and again the small size makes it unimposing in this world of too many remotes. Power cord is plenty long and I like the fact I can easily move the thing to a different room if I need music there.Customer Review: Sounds okay, but other problems
Summary: 3 Stars
Sounds pretty good, but its not nearly as good as some people seem to think (this is not some magic box). Also, the remote is a little spotty - it stopped working consistently a few days after we got it (we'd press the buttons and nothing would happen). So we replaced the battery ($4 btw), which turned out not to be the problem. The remote still works around 90% of the time, but that other 10% is annoying as %&*@!. The problem is that if the remote doesn't work, you're out of luck - there are no controls on the unit except for volume. We may have gotten a lemon, and we may still return it (if we can - the return policies are lousy), but overall I'm not so sure I'd buy it again.Customer Review: Pricy---but WORTH IT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems obvious from reading the other reviews that the relatively high price prevented some reviewers from giving this product five stars. Well, I've seen the rest and this is (in my opinion anyway) the best of all at this point. The sound is spectacular for a small speaker system and compares favorably to much more expensive equipment. It appears to be well made (time will tell) and it has a simple but elegant design. My 30 gig Ipod and the SoundDock just look like they belong together. Yes, I agree with others that the cord and power brick are a little cumbersome but not enough to give it less than five stars. Don't try to "cheap out" here--this really IS worth it!!Customer Review: good product...great customer service

6th Ave. Electronics provided superior customer service when the product I had ordered was no longer available due to the fact that they had sold out and they sent me an upgrade of the original product at no extra cost, while continuing to keep in touch with me concerning the status of my order. Bose® SoundDock® Series II digital music system for iPod® - BlackI was very impressed with their professional service. They even offered to let me cancel by order because of the delay in shipping, which was only about 2 weeks.
I would not hesitate to use this company again.
Customer Review: full disclosure in product description
Summary: 2 Stars
This review does not address the actual piece of merchandise, the Bose SoundDock II for the iPod, because the iPod was not compatible with it. The description of the product should include limitations and compatabilities. The SoundDock II did not work with the 3rd generation iPod (the one that charges its battery through the FireWire port). A call to the company confirmed that the SoundDock II was not compatible with that generation of iPod, but this fact was not included in their product description. A lot of hassle, and shipping charges, to the buyer and the seller could have been avoided if this known limitation was revealed in the product description.
