My sounddock occasionally skips, too. Did you figure out what the problem is yet?

Does anyone know what causes this phenomenon?]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/09/17/bose-launches-sounddock-for-the-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/09/17/bose-launches-sounddock-for-the-ipod/
Seemingly it would be much cheaper.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/09/17/bose-launches-sounddock-for-the-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/09/17/bose-launches-sounddock-for-the-ipod/
Sound wise, it's pretty good - the box isn't small but does offer a sound larger than you would imagine. Bass weight is pretty impressive for a small unit. I wouldn't think the RMS rating is much more than 15 watts, but, having said that, Bose Speakers are pretty high sensortivity - and it really is quite powerful, enough to fill a small/med room.

Value wise, it's poor... because there is no additional source capability. Otherwise, for sound quality - I don't think it's that bad. ;-) And, I've heard Klipsch, JBL, Altec - they are great for the price, but the Bose has a sparkle - i can't explain. Maybe it's their PsychoAcoustics technologies they have been looking into. ;-)]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/09/17/bose-launches-sounddock-for-the-ipod/http://www.engadget.com/2004/09/17/bose-launches-sounddock-for-the-ipod/
BOSE= another fancy label.

Buying a pair of Nike's won't let you jump any higher or run any faster. Save 50 bucks, buy an altec lansing, which is portable btw, and have a better experience.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:03AM
