Bose & Kicker Comparisons

I own the Kicker iK-500 Sound Dock. I was not dissatisfied with it, but decided to get the Bose Sound Dock to see if there was a major improvement. I think the Bose is a little more refined with its sound, but not a lot. The Kicker has treble/bass controls. This give the Kicker a slight edge over the Bose with the treble, but I could not set the bass control on the Kicker much beyond normal without getting distortion. I believe that the Bose is a little better with the bass. The Kicker is heavier and more difficult to move. It has slots for grips which help a bit, but not much. The Bose is much lighter and easier to move. All I use these sound docks for is to play my iPods. If I had to choose between them I would take the Bose, assuming similar prices. There is a fancier Bose unit, but I was informed by Bose that the sound quality is no different than the basic Bose. The more expensive Bose has additional features.

Don't Get Fooled Again

Beware all those who have the technical ability and desire to go wireless,the bose SoundDock is not your solution. You can spend $225 for a very good sounding music system exclusively for your Ipod. Or,spend $399 get the Bose "portable" SoundDock and go portable, carry it to the beach, pool, anywhere or join with AirTunes, I did and I'm thrilled.

The Greatest

I just received the Bose SoundDock as a gift and WOW! what a gift!!! I cannot believe the sound quality. I was not really using my Ipod because I hated the ear buds so it was tucked away in a drawer. With my new dock, the Ipod music sparkles and swirls around my room. The music is wonderful and I love the small size (I have a small apartment). Superior sound quality.....actually, amazing sound quality. Thank you Bose for making such a wonderful product.

Great

After a month of owning the SounDock, I was satisfied with the quality of this product. I can not justify paying extra $100 for the portable version which includes rechargeble battery.

MONEY WELL SPENT....!!!

I'd been contemplating buying this unit for quite some time....after much deliberation, and looking over all of the reviews, I decided to take a leap of faith....and I am certainly glad that I did. I wanted to be able to listen to my iPod while in my home....and I stumbled upon this unit on Amazon. Of course, there is no denying the reputation of high quality that Bose has. This unit did not disappoint; I was thrilled at the sound quality that emitted from something of this size. The relatively small footprint lends itself to portability....and also allows it to fit in virtually anywhere. There is virtually no assemble required (just attaching the size appropriate dock for your individual iPod), and the remote comes ready to go, What more can I say? If you're thinking about it....don't waste any more time. This piece of stereo equipment is definitely worth the expense. DYB
