Bose® SoundDock® 10 Bluetooth® digital music system

I bought this for a large great room with hardwood floors (which probably helps to carry the sound) and 15-foot vaulted ceilings. The SD10 completely fills up the room with wonderful distortion-free sound. Tonality is excellent, with those famously crisp Bose mids and highs. The bass is really good for a unit of its size, as the bass port on the back really helps add a nice little thump. The unit's also pretty heavy and very well made. I was pretty hesitant to buy the SD10 because of the hefty price tag, but I'm really glad I decided to go with it. And this thing is plenty loud, loud enough that you will have difficulty having a conversation when it's blasting (I usually don't listen to it that loud, but you can if you want to.) No, you're not going to feel the death metal pounding on your chest, but if that's what your after, go for a full system with a big powered sub-woofer. I was looking for a small inconspicuous unit that looked nice and could fill up a big room for casual listening. The SD10 does all that very well, and just completely fills the room with great sound. Now for some good old-fashioned nitpicking. As others have mentioned, the Bluetooth should have been integrated, as to opposed to being a module that you have to insert. No biggie for me - I placed my SD10 in a tall built-in, and will never use it to charge my phone anyway. For some people that want to physically dock their phones for charging, that will be a real drag. As to the Bluetooth itself, it worked really well, but several times it seemed to drop the signal for a second or two (but never really lost it) when I walked into other rooms in the house. Overall, it really wasn't a problem, but I thought I'd make a note of it here. In regard to aesthetics, the shape and style of the SD10 is great. I would have preferred a black color scheme as opposed to the silver one that Bose went with, but that's just me. Most people would probably prefer the silver anyway. Ok, so I gave the SD10 a 5 star rating. I probably should have taken a star off for the price tag and some of the drawbacks I noted above. However, I like it so much, I just didn't have the heart to give it a 4 star rating. I couldn't be happier with the system and do not hesitate to recommend it for casual listening. The SD10 really just blends into its surroundings and fills my great room with awesome sound. That's asking a lot, and the SD10 succeeds completely.

I bought used. This is the best sound for the package size. The newer Bose products in this size don't have the same power and sound

Love, love, love it! I bought one for my kitchen several years ago, so I could listen to my music or Pandora or talk radio, and charge my iphone at the same time. It has a really rich depth to it---sounding like a much bigger and much more expensive sound system. Since then, decided to move it to another room in my house where I spend a lot of time working on my hobby. I really missed having it in my kitchen though, so I just HAD to buy another one. I enjoy it very much. Not really liking the Bluetooth feature---it keeps cutting out, which disconnects my Pandora or other internet programs and then I have to keep going over and reconnecting whichever app I was listening to.

This sound dock is very powerfull, and sound quality is high, is very easy controller with bluetooth phone like soo much remote controller too, i can change volume, track, list the phone don't touch this, only with remote controller.

But i'm very very happy, to all the people like my little sound system

I have had this system for 6 months - purchased Jan 2013. As of today, the remote is dead. I can't control anything with the remote and the system REQUIRES a remote to use. Why doesn't BOSE put buttons on the system in case their cheap remote goes dead? And it's not the battery by the way. I've just ordered a new remote to see if it will work. The sound is fantastic when you can get the remote to actually work!!! My rating is purely based on a cheap remote, the requirement of a remote (no buttons on the system). If the replacement remote works I'll re-rate the product and give it a better rating but if it does not, then i guess that the $500 system is DONE. As of today, not happy.
