Amazing Bose sound in a tiny Bluetooth package

Amazing Bose sound in a tiny Bluetooth package.  This beats any self powered Bluetooth speaker I've heard so far anyway.  It's not cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for here.

Bose is well-known for digging good sound out of the most unexpected places.  It's gotten to the point that buying a Bose is buying sound quality whether in a large or small package.  The Sounddock 10 is not the smallest package (at 18 lbs) but by no means is it a large package.  It can be moved around, but be prepared to find a good spot for it and leave it there.  And it sounds great everywhere I've put it.  It is the best sounding Ipod Dock out there and the easiest one on the eyes.  It is not an eyesore like its two closest competitors.

I have an iphone and it works perfectly with this sounddock.  All you have to do is attach it to the dock and start playing.  All of the controls are on the remote so don't lose it or you will have to buy another one.  It was less than 10 minutes from opening the box to listening to&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Bad-Romance-The-Remixes/dp/B00316DE0S/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Bad Romance - The Remixes</a>.  I also tried&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Rachmaninoff-Piano-Concertos-Nos-2-3/dp/B00008PXA2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Rachmaninoff: Piano Concertos Nos. 2 & 3</a>.  I fell in love with my Bose Sounddock 10.

I then bought the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Bose-SoundDock-10-Bluetooth-dock/dp/B002RJLL6O/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Bose SoundDock 10 Bluetooth dock</a>.  Here is where there is room for improvement.  To get Bluetooth to work, you have to detach the traditional iphone/ipod attachment.  Removing this attachment and installing the Bluetooth attachment took less than 10 minutes, but it is clearly not something you want to do over and over.  Now, I don't say what it looks like, but the bluetooth adaptor is not the prettiest thing, especially when you consider the handsome looks of this Bose dock.

How does it sound when streaming music from Iphone to Bose Sounddock 10 via Bluetooth?  Great. But (yes there is a but) you are going to immediately have breaks in sound.  First, the iphone's WI-FI, if you have it on, will cut through the sound everytime the Iphone tries to send or receive mail.  I had to turn off WI-FI.  You will also get some breaks in sound if there is a stray Bluetooth signal running around.  I live in a condo and you can't avoid all the WI-FI and Bluetooth signals running around.  I alone have at least 8 components communicating via WI-FI.  BTW, even when the Iphone connects to email via the Edge network, there will also be a break in sound.  This has to do with the Iphone's limited multi-tasking capabilities.  Also, when in bluetooth mode, the Bose remote control will not work other than for volume.

Still, it is nice to have the phone near when someone calls and not have to get up and detach it from the dock to answer it.  Hmmm, maybe the best solution will be to have an Ipod just for the dock.

When all is said and done, it is expensive.  Can you put a price on great sound? Yes, and $600 seems a little steep.  I love my dock and can live with the price I paid, but the additional $150 for the Bluetooth adaptor is something I could have done without.  In short, for $600 you get a reasonably compact, easy to use, good looking and great sounding dock.

I'm really pleased with this purchase. The sound quality is extremely impressive for the size and likely matches that of Bluetooth speakers 3-4 times the cost. It's a really strong choice to bring to parties on a back deck or to carry with you to the beach. Your friends will be amazed at the volume and sound clarity from such tiny speakers (mine were). And the price!

Pros:
Small size
Rich sound quality for such small speakers (good highs and mids, fine bass)
Small and extremely portable
Gets LOUD for the size
Nice packaging and comes with flat wire 1/8" mini headphone cord (male/male)

Cons:
Short Bluetooth range (5-10 feet unobstructed, 3-4 feet obstructed, i.e. you must put your phone down on a table nearby)
Won't play while charging

At first I was surprised with slightly bigger size over the mini some.  But playing my iPhone music list on this using Blue Tooth music sounded like the bigger Famous Bose Wave Radio. Now we have our favorite music available anywhere in the house. Terrific Hi-Fi sound,  rich not tinny or cheap sounding. And the nice color helps me find where it is when not in use ! Battery life five hours plus ! Any charger with usb slot works in Wall or Car.

It's no Bose, but for the money, I was pleasantly pleased with the quality of sound this little guy has. I bought it for the shower, but was so impressed that I took it with us to a sledding party.  We were outside in the cold and snow but it played like a champ for the entire 8+ hours we were out. Still had plenty of charge left. Because it is so small and "pack-able";  I am Looking forward to taking it on my outdoor journeys this summer.

This is an AMAZING speaker. I've paired it with my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 5. Both times it has worked so well. The sound is wonderful and the size is perfect to take along anywhere. It is roughly four inches in diameter and kicks out a high quality sound in such a small package. I'm planning to take this on vacation with me since the sound is so much better than just listening to my phone or computer. (however, the music did skip occasionally when listening to pandora from my macbook -- I never had that trouble with music or pandora from my phone.) We have a B&O A2 which my husband literally takes everywhere. We are thrilled with these speakers. I have not used the speaker as a speaker phone. When I do, I'll update the review.

Received mine in the time frame they said, and I couldn't be happier. It was packaged very well, and once I read the short, simple instructions I paired it to my Android phone and began listening to Pandora Radio on this device. I can't believe the sound quality that is coming out of this little thing! The bass is really amazing for such a compact piece, and the volume is also amazing. I struggled with the decision to purchase the more expensive, well known brand name one...but now I'm thoroughly convinced that I made the right choice and only spent a 1/3rd of what I was originally going to spend on one of these wireless Bluetooth speakers. Excellent product, I'm sure I'll end up with a couple more of these over the years.

My daughter bought me this portable, Bluetooth Bose speaker. It arrived yesterday. The sound is amazing! It was very easy to set up, is lightweight and very attractive. So far I am very happy with it! I own three other Bose systems (sound docks) and I am confident that this new addition will be just as good years down the line as the other three.

This little speaker rocks!  The sound is amazing for the size.  And it has fairly intense bass.  Sounds like a mini boombox.  The bluetooth works spot on, and connects with your device quickly.  I am truly amazed at the sound that comes out of this little box.  I get even more from this speaker by placing it inside a medium sized clay flower pot, which has been turned on its side.  It magnifies the sound.  Try placing yours in different places to boost the sound.

I really like these Bose speakers. I use them for my home theater as well as for listening to music, and the sound coming out of them is rich, warm, clean, and loud, especially considering their small size. I'm powering them with a Sony STR-DH100 receiver which I bought for $130 on Amazon, and I believe this is a good pairing. At the current price, these are also excellent value, which is a odd thing to be saying about a Bose product, as they are generally known for being over priced.

There are only two caveats to mention. First, the cube speakers sound very directional, so you really need to be in front of them to get the full effect.  Secondly, while this system produces a very warm sound, it doesn't do a great job with deep base because the sub-woofer is just too small to hit those lows, and on top of that, it doesn't have its own amp. What this means practically, is that playing songs by the Beatles, or Green Day is going to sound great...but playing something from Bone Thugs in Harmony will sound a bit muted.

One more thing to say. I've had the small cube speakers by my TV for a few years, with the sub-woofer in a corner nearby. My fiance, who's lived with me the whole time, recently found the box (the sub-woofer) sitting in the corner and said, "what's this box doing here, can we throw it out, or move it to a closet?". Funny, but I guess it speaks to the small profile that the system has in your home. She just assumed it was only the two small cube speakers.

Amazing sound  from this small machine! Only complaint that I was already aware of from other reviews is I have to remove my phone from the case to dock it, but I use the Bluetooth option anyway so it rarely matters.

I have always been very pleased with Bose products in general. I really like my Bose companion 5 which I bough for my computer and now connected with my flat TV. I cannot travel without my Bose Quiet Comfort 15, so I decided to purchase the new Bose SoundTouch and try it at home. I love it. The sound is clear and music is perfectly amplified by this new music system. I decided to buy a second one so I connected them under the same wifi network. In this way I can listen the same song in 4 rooms (kitchen, dining room, bed room and bathroom) at the same time, or play different songs from each device.  I've also connected my favorite Spotify playlist to the Bose SoundTouch so I can launch it without using my iPhone. I strongly recommend this item !

This product is AWESOME. Right out of the box I was super impressed with this device. This bluetooth speaker is really worth the money, even when the Bose Soundlink Mini is the same price. I also have the Bose Soundlink so I can easily compare the two.

Pros:
-The programmable LED light-show is AWESOME. There are a ton of options to use and you can change the colors with every option so everybody is bound to find a selection that is right for them. The LEDs wrap around the device too so it can make an awesome table topper at a party. This one feature sets this device apart from the crowd and its a great thing. You can also control the brightness so the lights aren't always blaring when you have the lights out or if you want to turn them down or off to make the battery last longer. If you
-REALLY loud. Volume is comparable to any bluetooth speaker I've ever listened to. It easily fills a room with music.
-The ability to stand upright is also different and a great feature. It allows the sound to really spread out and fill a room no matter what direction  its facing because it has speakers on both sides. Really great once you have it and you miss it when its gone.
- There is an app you can download to control the device from your phone. This is really great so you can change the light show, the EQ, the music, and also download firmware updates for the speaker straight from your phone. I have never seen a controller app that includes as much as this one.
-Really easy to connect to your phone or ipad. It took me less than a minute to setup and start playing music.
-Has NFC so you can just touch it with your phone to connect if you have most droids.
-Battery indicator lights are great. Most other bluetooth speakers don't tell you specific levels, but just if the battery is low or not. This comes in handy if you're going on a trip and don't know the exact battery level. Its more useful than you would think.

Cons:
-Sound is not terrible, but it could definitely be better for $200. It does not compare to the Bose Soundlink. All the higher levels are just as good, but the bass is lacking for sure. This is definitely disappointing for the price.
-The battery life is lacking when the lights are on. When the LEDs are on, even on low brightness, the battery life is significantly reduced.

Besides those two cons, this speaker is one of the best ive ever tried. Its really cool and would be great for the younger crowd or if you just want to set the mood in your bedroom as you're cuddling with your lady friend. Seriously, its great for that.
Awesome, awesome device.

OMG ! ! !  I can't believe a speaker this small can produce such great sound, with great dynamics !  I opted for this as opposed to the BOSE
equivalent, which I had listened to extensively, and this does as much, perhaps even better than the BOSE for a lot less $ $ $ !  LOVE IT !

i haven't purchased one of these fine tuned awesome sounding radios from amazon. but i have purchased 4 of them so far through bose directly, and each person that recieved them as a gift was amazed with the room filling sound from these elegant little masterpieces. you will not be dissapointed either when you hear the sound, from the bass to the and spine tingling highs as well as the subtle mids. exspensive? a little, but well worth it.

Almost returned this item once I realized it wasn't Bluetooth capable - turned out to be a happy mistake. I tested it out after communicating with the seller (5 stars for eDepot Express too btw), who indicated they did not yet have a Bluetooth model as it would lessen the sound quality. I was curious about their claim, as well as the product's high ratings, so I hooked it up to my phone, Pandora'd some, and - Wowza. ! The volume and depth of sound this tiny little thing can produce is incredible.  And it's extremely portable, complete with carrying pouch. Great little speaker at a great price. Tempted to purchase another.
