    "Muddy Sound, Cabinet Vibrates"

    by BllyShears on April 6, 2005

    Pros: Convenient way to play iPod music quickly.

    Cons: The sound was extremely disappointing. There was no detail to the midrange and it seemed as thought the bass had been boosted so much that it drowned out the clarity of the highs.

    Summary: Terrible performance for the money. Sound is distorted with no means of adjusting bass or treble. Low end has been boosted so much that the cabinet vibrates. I also had to unplug the system twice to "reboot" (as Bose tech calls it) because a glitch in the SoundDock was randomly advancing tracks on the iPod in the middle of the selection I was trying to listen to.

    I agree. I heard the product in a store and it sounded absolutely terrible, worse than the Infinity computer speakers that came with an old 90s IBM. Those are good speakers, but not so good as to outclass anything worth more than $50.

    Bllyshears take to his review is yet another review that tries to bring down BOSE as a company. Simply put, Bose has made a great product, and it shouldn't be bashed just because of the name. Bose haters will say all that they want, but when it comes down to it, they produce quality products. I don't even find it prudent for me to have to review Bllyshears horrible review except to say that Bose SoundDock produces amazing sound quality. Hear it from a Sounddock owner. I love it, though I do believe it to be a little over priced.

    Thanks for not just saying "bose sucks" with no reason.

    question: was your iPod's EQ flat? i didnt hear any of these issues today when i went to have a listen.
