Bose Docking Station

Bose has made it their life's mission to create "Better Sound Through Research." This means not only creating their own technology, but using today's technology and making it better than before. This is what they did with the Bose docking stations they have created for the iPod and other MP3 devices. Docking stations such as the SoundDock series, which is compatible with iPods and iPhones.

Bose docking stations all have the same slender look to them that Bose is known for with their products. They also all recharge the iPod when it is in the docking station. There is no need to get up either to change the song because all of them come with a remote to do just without getting up. It isn't the similarities in the products though that make them special, it is the customization to each docking station that is personalized to the consumer.

Starting with the original SoundDock 10 digital music system has an optional Bluetooth dock for playing music on your phone through your Bluetooth. This option is unique to only this Bose docking station and is a clever way of making this station multi-functional. This station also has the ability to recognize deeper low notes through stereo waveguide technology. A consumer will hear bass notes as they were intended to be heard, rather than a vibrating adaptation of the notes. And lastly, they have a video-out option, meaning they can play iPod video on the TV. There is no other docking station out there that has such amazing capabilities. This station will cost around $600.

However, the SoundDock Portable digital music system does have some advantages on the SoundDock 10 that aren't so much technology-based as they are convenience-based. For example, this Bose docking station comes with a rechargeable battery and a carry handle, so no matter where you go, you can always have good music. These advantages make this docking station more convenient and a better choice for people who are always on-the-go. Other than the additional technological features, this Bose docking station is equivalent to the SoundDock 10 system. This station will cost just under $400.

Lastly, there is the SoundDock II digital music system. This is the most stripped down version of the Bose docking stations for iPod. There are no extra bells and whistles, just the same great features, redesigned to better support the technology and perform when you need it to do so. Being the both the lightest and smallest version of the SoundDock series, it makes this docking station the perfect fit for anywhere in the house. Best of all, it still is compatible with your CD/DVD player, iPod/iPhone, and other MP3 sources. This station, the most inexpensive of the group, will cost around $300.

Remember when looking to purchase a Bose docking station for your iPod that there are many options that can easily customize to your lifestyle. It is a matter of weighing out what are your music needs and what is absolutely essential for your listening experience. You have already made the great decision of going with Bose, now, all you have to do is decide which one is right for you!
