What's great about it: Simple to set up and use
What's not so great: Nothing
There's really not much TO this thing other than great sound! It's ridiculously easy to operate...plug in your iPod, grab the remote, turn on the power and you're rocking! I just can believe how good this sounds for as small as it is. It fits on a corner of my desk and fills my whole living room with sound. I have an Altec Lansing dock that I use at work that was considerably less expensive, but the Bose leaves it in the dust sound-wise. Anyone who thinks this is too expensive hasn't heard it next to a cheaper one. This is Bose at its best! Worth every penny for a true audiophile.

What's great about it: Great sound with very small volume increments
What's not so great: Nothing really, if I had to pick one thing the cord could be a little longer but it's not really short.
I've had my SoundDock for 9 months and just had our first problem. The docking part became a little loose and things started to not dock correctly. I called Bose and they were super nice. They took some quick information and said it's covered under the warranty. I only have to pay out going shipping. Haven't had in fixed yet but I'm confident it will be returned in a good state and working again. I would definitely buy again and suggest it to friends.

What's great about it: Sound quality
What's not so great: Difficult to connect to iPod
As with all the Bose products I've owned, the sound quality is very good for an iPod dock.
One of the issues have had, though, is that it is very difficult to get my iPod to connect to the dock. When I place it in the dock my iPod will produce the sound alert indicating that it has been connected to a charger, but the actual sound, including the music, will only come out of the iPod itself, not from the Bose dock. I literally need to take it off and put it back on the docking connector at least three to five times before it will work. (I also have a Sony dock with which I have never had a similar problem, so I don't believe this to be a user issue.)
Also the ability to pause music from the remote seems to have stopped functioning now after about four months. The light from the dock flashes when I push the pause button, so it is getting the signal, but the music won't pause.

What's great about it: Sound, size and price
I must say for the size the sound is room filling and the bass is clean and steady. I love that it doesn't take up much space but delivers crisp sound quality. I have multiple Bose equipment and I have never complained about any of them.

What's great about it: Sound is outstanding!!
What's not so great: Whne in case iPhone won't fit in dock.
The sound quality of the SoundDock is outstanding! It is very easy to use, and the remote is great. The only thing I don't like is; when my iPhone is in its protective case (Otterbox), it is too wide to be docked in the front. I tried the alternate USB connectivity, but the sound quality was degraded. So, since I like the SoundDock so much, I remove my phone from my case to dock and play it. Other than that small issue, love it!!

What's great about it: Super easy to set up. Sound quality seems to get better the louder you turn it up.
What's not so great: Control features are not compatible with all ipods. I would try to get the latest models.
You can never go wrong with buying any Bose product.
This product has... Perfect fit, great bass for such a small unit, sounds better than most soundbars on the market
