Great for iPhones and iPods

Knowing Bose is a high end speaker system makes the bar a little higher for them. In this case, they have met it.

Design:
Perfect for setting up in the house, office or bedroom, the SoundDock Series II will fit right in. it’s modern, sleek and elegant. No disappointments there.

Summary:
Overall, if you buy this system you will be very satisfied. If it’s a gift, the recipient will be happy to get it. With Bose they have the brand quality and reputation that is one of the best in the industry and the SoundDock II lives up to the expectation.

Can't go wrong with Bose

After lots of research I decided to go with the SoundDock II and love it. I use it with my iPhone and it works great.

The sound is nice and clear and the volume will get much louder than I will ever need it to go.  This unit is very easy to use.   Others have mentioned the construction quality is not the best.  Did not see that with my unit, very well made.   Wish the price was a little lower but what are you going to do.
