Ease of use, nice portable system without loads of annoying wires, speakers and set-up problems, nice well designed functional carry bag, very good sound for the size of the unit, reliable, dead easy to use with your ipod, aesthetically pretty unit that fills any room with sound when you've got guests around
-
Can't adjust bass/treble etc to suit your own tastes. But if I wanted a state of the art system I would have got something larger which would have had to be confined to one room.

its sleek and looks good and has excellent sound, its very compact and has a great small remote, its easy to operate - simple and good quality
-
control options are a bit basic - in that you can only adjust sound and go forwards or backwards on a particular album - this is more of a failing of ipod, but its really annoying that you cant set up several albums to play one after the other (without having to create a playlist) and instead each time the album ends you have to come and select the next album - with todays digital age I think there could have been a lot more functions supplied to group albums or just have more control over what plays when.

The sound is superb - we have had other soundocks that have speakers which rattle at certain frequencies or at high volumes. Not with the Bose! There are two spaces where we use the sound-dock, one is a larger open space and one a smallish room and the sound quality sounds just a good in both
The unit is stylish, solid and stable not light and flimsy like some sound-docks. It really feels like a quality item. Even the free bag is quality too, (and free bags so often aren't!) perfect for moving the sound-dock safely.
-
Only bad point is that the ipod doesn't seem totally secure in the cradle and waddles about a bit. Apart from this we haven't found any bad points.
