Bring Your iPod To Life
For those of you who have never experienced the sound quality of a Bose system, you need to go to your local electronics store and do so immediately. Forget reading the rest of this post, even, until you get back to your computer. And most likely, you will have one of these iPod docking stations in your possession when you do. With a wide variety of bargain basement iPod docks out in the market, you really have to do some research before you actually decide on which one to buy. While it is great that you can pick one up at your local discount store for twenty bucks, you will be so disappointed when you arrive home and hook it up, finding out that the radio in a 1970 Buick sounds better. If all you are looking for is to give your ears a break from the buds and get whatever sound you can out of your playlists, then that’s ok. But if you really want to rock out, you must consider the Bose SoundDock system for your listening pleasure.
I have experienced the sound of this system first hand, and I have to say “Wow!” I mean, for its size, you would not expect it to thump better than most full-sized stereos, but that’s what it does. It charges your iPod while playing, which is perfect for all night listening. Made to fit with any iPod out on the market, all you do it use the adapter, plug it in, and enjoy. You get a tiny little remote to control your playlists from across the room, and the dock is so slim and easy to fit in any spot in the house.
It is available in black or white, so you can coordinate with the original iPod colors. Now, you might be thinking “it doesn’t look like anything fancy” or “it cost $200!!??”, and I know how you feel, but the second you hear it you will pay every penny for it. Short of sounding like a Bose salesman, I would make sure this is the only iPod station used in my house. And no, I do not get any commission, so don’t bother asking. When I see a product worth the price it is going for, I tend to get excited about it.
