How does it compare to the Bose SoundDock: Has anybody heard them side by side?

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!

It sounds great! I listen to alot of Rap and HipHop music, the bass works well for my taste. I've yet to hear any sound distortion at all! Does it or will it sound as good as a Bose, I can't really answer that question cause I never really heard the Bose portable speaker system before. But I think this was worth my money! I like the sound!

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!

It does not fit. Just received this item and it does not fit the Bose Sounddock.

In my humble opinion the noise isolation feature of my V_Moda crossfade's are far superior than the Bose QC series headphones. One of my co-workers has the Bose QC-25's I tried them and he tried mine he agreed with me as well!

it's surprisingly good! i have a small jambox that sounds nice but it blows it away. i also have the bigger soundlink bose that i paid $300 for and it's only a small step ahead of the mini on sound, clarity, and bass! i hope this helps!

I purchased the Bose speakers and these at the same time and compared them side by side. In my opinion there was no noticible difference between the sound quality. I returned the bose and have had these ever since.

My experience has been with a pair of headphones when using shortwave. Its not bad doing FM for ambient background either. .rest assured it will never sound like a BOSE! Hope this helps

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).

I have not compared them, but the A5 from Bowers & Wilkins is the best sounding wireless speaker I have listened to.

In my opinion, the quality of these units is identical to that of the Bose. Besides, TIC originally invented these "in-ground" style outdoor speakers back in the 80's, so Bose's model is simply an overpriced copy of these.

I think these sound better than the Bose AE2s but are not as comfortable (the comparison is based on sale price since both are within the same range). These are pretty easy to drive using a portable device and the Bose will need a portable amp to get the sound quality comparable to these (but with lesser pronounced bass). The build quality of this far superior-the AE2s are plagued with cheap touches, down to the carrying pouch.

I found this dock had pretty poor audio quality. I'd recommend a higher end dock since they last a while anyways (if they have aux or usb connections) and spending more would make sense in the long term and give higher audio quality.

Not a lot of difference but Bose has an edge. Maybe not enough for the difference in cost.

They appear to be similar, but this is probably a question for Bose technical support. See the Bose website.

I don't know about the aptx but I can say that the sound is definitely superior and "open" sounding than the Bose.

They fill the room equally, I am very contented with the purchase. Sound much better with much pricier Bose or other systems. I have paired them with an Onkyo receiver and bi-amped them. I dont know your application but I dont think you have to be right in front of the speakers to experience great sounds quality.
