I listened to the iM7 and the bose in Circuit City when I decided to buy iM7. Honestly this thing just thumps. And the treble is awesome too.

I haven't heard side by side by my next door neighbor has the Bose and I can tell you in my opinion the Altec blows his away. I would have gotten a Bose if I thought his sounded that good- but I went looking elsewhere. Turns out best is not only better but a heck of a lot less money!

This might not be the answer you want since I have never heard either, but this Yamaha sounds better than the Bose wave iii , which I mentioned in my review. I also have a recent model Onkyo mini system, which sounds quite good, but the Yamaha beats it out also. I think the Yamaha is well worth the price!

ah, mine never worked with my sounddock either, and I don't have anything else to test it on. I've had it almost a year and it's just been sitting around. it's too bad.

Yeah, I bought a pair of these and brought them to the office. My boss has a pair of QC2's and we compared them side by side. The ANC's do leak noise considerably more than the Bose. You can test them on your head with a partner, or you can turn the cups down on a table and listen for the leakage. I decided to send mine back and get the Bose instead. I also had issues with some very mild static on the ANC's on a flight last week - very slight, but it was there none-the-less.

I have a Bose Wave Music System III and like it a lot. The sound is amazing, it comes with warranty (Bose is good about repair and/or refund if there is a problem).

I don't have a Bose system to compare too. But I am very happy with the sound. For what it is.. I am very happy with the bass. I have several large living room and kitchen and lower half of the house. And the speaker fills whatever room rather well. I like boston acoustics sound. And you can adjust the equalizer on the device your playing the music from. To get a better sound.I have a home stereo with a designated Velodyne subwoofer which is great, for real bass. But for $150 and blue tooth portable this is pretty darn good.

Honestly, it's not as "bassey" as the bose systems. It is very clear at loud volumes and the bass DOESN'T become punchy. I have it in my office and it sounds great. If I was willing to be in the $500+ range I would go with the bose, but this is a great system in this price category.

Mine just arrived and it says 120vac only not dual or universal so it going back to the store. Besides I'm not happy with its sound, I expected much better sound for its size than my other bose sounddocks (1-sounddock and 1-portable).

its sounds pretty good outside too. put it on the floor to increase bass-response and raise treble a bit (more treble on ipod EQ) to counteract the somewhat directional treble response. i had it turned up to the max, although at these levels it starts to distort slightly and the sound becomes a bit compressed, but you can still hear it from some hundred meters away and you won't notice distortion if you don't stand very close to it. i even had it cranked up on a beach and everyone was turning around where the sound was coming from, as they couldn't see it as small as it is. i also have an altec lansing imt800 which has more bass and an overall fuller sound, but near maximum level both sound similar (the altec reduces bass at higher volume) and the sounddock is even slightly louder. as the sounddock portable is really small i think it is the perfect party-machine even for outside. at normal listening levels you can expect about 10-12 hours of playing time from one charge. at maximum volume it will play for 2-4 hours.

It works with any bose sounddock that has the same conection for and i pod, because instead you conect the bose you conect the teku one. Good and clear signal. Works great and cheaper than the bose one

I have been happy with the bass from the Boston unit given the context of what it is. I have only listened to the soundlink mini from Bose, but not directly compared the two. The bose unit is good but in my opinion the Boston unit is a better value at $150. It does fill the room with sound well and should work great in a 12x 12 room

They are cheaper than Bose, but Bose are better on IPhone. You can make a decision .

I can speak directly to a Soundlink 3 comparison. In my opinion, the TDK sounds comparable. Like you, I hate tinny sound, and can attest to the fact that the TDK is not tinny at all. It is rich and full at all volumes. Actually, it is shockingly rich and full given the size and the price. If you're torn beween the Bose and the TDK, I say buy the TDK with confidence.

Sorry I have not compared them.I was not as impressed as I expected to be. There are nice features like talk through button so if a flight attendant asks a question dont Ned to take headphone off. And the fact that if batery goes flat it still works as regular headphone but the Bose QC 15 us actually better on noise reduction
