"A Fantastic Product!!" on by Paul_Hill
Pros: The Sound quality is fantastic, when playing a variety of different pieces of music (Classical to Rock etc) what is apparent is how good the dynamic range is. Great low range but crisp clear highs great separation too
Cons: If The video out would allow you to display the your music on screen so you can use the TV to navigate
Summary: One thing that is apparent is that the Sounddock 10 is a bit bigger than other Bose Sounddock's, this is because Performance was the focus of this model. When playing classical music (Johann Strauss On the Beautiful Blue Danube)I noticed the range of the product to be great, from the low range of the drums to the clarity of the wood and string sections, and the higher range of the percussion section, all where very clear and well seperated. Then a bit of Rock (Kings of Leon) then some metal music (Metallica) and finally a bit of country (Rosanne Cash). For all these genres the Sounddock 10 handled all with out a problem, it sounded just amazing! With regard to some issues that have been mentioned in other reviews, such as lack of clock and alarm etc, these features are all on your ipod. If you loose the remote control the Sounddock 10's set up allows you to use the Volume control and navigation on the Ipod itself. In the case of the Ipod Touch you will see the volume controls disappear momentarily, and then re-appear. With Classic Models and Nano Models, use the click wheel. When using the Bluetooth Adapter I found it to work flawlessly with My Sony Ericsson Mobile Phone, and with the Bluetooth feature on my Ipod touch. For me I noticed no difference in the sound quality, it was just great. I got a longer range from my mobile phone than my ipod touch. Remember the Bluetooth Adapter is a receiver therefore the range you get is more dependant on the transmitting range of the Bluetooth device you are pairing with it. Yes compared to other products it costs a bit more (In the UK the price is 699GBP with the Bluetooth Adapter included)However for me I feel it is worth every penny. I always have it on when I can, I love my music, and for me its just great, five stars! If I could change one thing it would be for the Video Output to display my music tracks so I could navigate my Ipod using my Television.

I agree. It is called a Sounddock and not a radio/alarm/ clock. I'm sure most people have the music that's playing on the radio in their media player already. And I'm sure one could play internet radio over this system too. Sorry Apple- ites, my EVO has a built-in radio if my company really has to listen to the radio. Good review.
