Customer Review: Offers great sound, portability, and a sleek design -- what more could you want!?!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is actually my second SoundDock. I purchased the first one (the non-portable version) in May 2005 and it worked perfectly for a little over 2 years. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of inserting an old iPod that had suffered water damage rather than my new iPod. The result was that the sound became tinny and muted. Knowing that it was my fault and that the warrantee was probably up I brought it back to the store fully expecting to pay to have it repaired or to receive a replacement. To my surprise, the sales associate offered to exchange it, no questions asked, before I even had a chance to explain what had happened. I was given two options. For no charge I could swap out the damaged version for brand new (not refurbished) version of the same sound dock or I could opt to get the Portable and only pay the difference. Since I routinely move my SoundDock from room to room I opted for the latter. Ever since I have been just as satisfied as I was with the original.
The most important thing for me in buying this SoundDock was the sound. I wanted something that would be powerful and rich sounding and do my music collection justice. This for me perfectly fits the bill. It is equally good at filling the room with rich sound as it is with providing background music. I am sure my musician boyfriend, whose ear is much more trained than mine, could find some way to deem the quality imperfect, but as an average consumer I am more than satisfied. I will say though that although I was told that the sound quality would be an upgrade from the original I don't really notice it sounding any different.
Sound quality aside, there are many things I appreciate about this product. I love that it is so lightweight at only 5 lbs because I actually take advantage of its portability. It is very easy to carry around and I never worry that I will drop it. The battery life is also great. I can easily listen to a few hours of music without needing to recharge it. The product also uses very little power when not in use so you don't have to worry about depleting the battery if you leave it unplugged for several days without using it.
I also find the style to be sleek and minimalistic. Whether I have it in my bedroom, living room or kitchen it always looks great.
Overall, this is a great product. The price tag can seem like a lot to swallow but the sound quality is wonderful and the customer service even better. To me the price is worth it just knowing that if any issues arise there is a great company behind the product willing to resolve them. I think we all know how rare that is in today's society. If you don't think you'll be using it in different rooms of the house the non-portable version will be more than sufficient for your needs. However, if you are using it in different rooms it's well worth the extra $100 for the convenience factor.
Update: I recently purchased an iPhone 3G and was pleasantly surprised to find that this SoundDock is compatable with my new phone as well. Sound quality is great and you can put the phone on "airplane mode" when in the dock if desired to reduce interference.
