Great Speaker System

The Bose SoundDock Series I is designed specially for the iPod. Since it’s release, it has become a less needed in the world of iPhone speakers. However, this system is a great quality speaker system that works well with iPods.

Sound:
Powerful, full body sound is separates this system from it’s competitors. Set it up for loud crystal clear play back or use it for mellow soft ambiance. It all plays well through the SoundDock Series I.

Design:
Great contemporary look. It looks good and feels sturdy.

Functionality:
A few years ago this system would have been #1. But since the introduction of the iPhone and more advanced iPods, the uses for basic speaker systems have become somewhat obsolete. However, if all you need is a great sounding speaker system that works well with your iPod this system will do great. The remote has basic functionality.

Summary:
If your looking for a great sounding speaker system for your iPod the SoundDock Series I will accommodate you. It’s also priced lower than other Bose models.

Bose docking system limitations

It is a pity that Bose does not have a jack plug for playing other MP3/4 players.

The docking adapters do not fit snugly if the Ipod has a gel case.

Sound great with no distortion
