I really enjoy the Bose Portable SoundDock

I really enjoy my SoundDock Portable, the sound is great and very easy to take around the house or to the office. It was a little bit an expensive but I am glad I made the investment. I also own the quiet comfort 2 headphones. Same thing they were more expensive than the other options but I am glad I made the purchase.

It is a Bose product so the sound quality and construction is excellent. Plus the rechargable battery means not having to remember batteries or purchase them.

If have the money you will be glad you purchased this unit for years to come.
