Customer Review: Bose: the Greatest Sound (w/excellent remote)
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading some of the reviews, I thought that I would weigh in because as an owner of the Bose SoundDock and also a comparative shopper; I feel that I disagree in part with a couple of the reviews and wanted to just offer another opinion to keep in mind.
First, I own the product and the Bose's sound is unparalleled. Yes, it costs more than the Altec Lansing M602 but I think it is worth it. The footprint is smaller than the Altec and it is in my opinion very attractive and more attractive than the Altec. Aside from the cosmetics, the sound quality is better than the Altec especially at the upper and lower end of the spectrum.
I own Altec Lansing products (woofers) for my computer and the sound is terrific; but the M602 as a SoundDock does not surpass the Bose. Other companies have tried the same tactic as Altec: add some additional features and cut back on the price so that the Bose comes out at about $100 more. I agree that the sound of the Altec is good and can also fill a room; but it still is not the same quality clean and fresh sound that the Bose has. So if you are looking for the best clean sound quality, then go with the Bose.
Now for those who say that they are looking at the iM7! Yes, here the difference in price is about $50 and the sound is the same quality as Bose. If you like using your remote, you will love the Bose and dislike the iM7's. The iM7's remote has problems operating beyond 8-10 feet and this is a lot less than it states in its marketing. It uses a weak infrared and if you are looking at the iM3 that remote is even worse. So often I am in the kitchen and just shoot the remote across 15 or so feet with no problem with my Bose. You better like to walk if you buy the Altec. Check it out and you will see what I mean.
Additionally, the iM7 comes with a very short power supply cord. Many might like the design of the iM7 but I find the footprint to be larger and less attractive than the Bose. The Bose is definitely the most attractive. The Bose cannot dock to your computer but it does have a great remote control, great sound and superb styling and is very easy to use and set up.
If price is the factor then maybe the Bose will not be your choice despite its great minimalistic look and sound. If a good powerful remote is important; one that clearly can be used beyond 8-10 feet, then I would suggest that the iM7 or iM3 is not a good choice for you.
It all comes down to what you are willing to pay for the sound quality you want as well as the specific features that are important to you.
For me, I wouldn't trade the clean design, sound, remote, power supply for any other. Just thought that I would add some other details about the features discussed since I own the product and have listened to the others prior to purchasing.
Good luck with your purchase and enjoy whatever SoundDock you buy.
Note: (UPDATE)
Just noticed that Amazon has an incredible 42% off the price of the iM7; that price point might influence you since the difference in price is now $100 lower than the Bose. I am happy with my Bose; but that deal for the iM7 is a good one; (though I am partial to the minimalistic design and the Bose remote).
But did want to point out that this is an "extremely great discount" on the iM7.
