Don’t take my word for it that the Bose docking stations are the best! Another person who thinks the Bose SoundDock 10 is superior to the B & W posted his viewson the MacTalk Forum:
” B&W Zeppelin docking station – as I mentioned before – in the past I think it is the aesthetics that bugged me, as well as the quality of sound at the low volume settings. High volume settings next to the new Bose docking station it didn’t compete either. I wanted to buy B&W, but I didn’t.
Bose SoundDock 10 – ok by now you might have guessed – I bought this one… and it is sitting in my formal lounge now! WOOHOO!!!!
WOW the bass, and range of tones I personally thought was cleaner to listen to – when directly compared to the B&W. The three factors that probably won me over in the end…
* it plays much louder than the Zeppelin, for outdoors, parties, groups, big rooms, this blows the B&W away.
* Bass – wow – sounds great!!!!!
* Visuals – not a fan of the Zeppelin, and this one is much larger than the previous Bose models, but it looks fine. Doesn’t look cheap, tacky, and hopefully it won’t be a dust magnet. I think the Zeppelin would be hard to keep clean in the long term.”and I really liked this bit!
“Another customer told me he bought the B&W and then the Bose SoundDock 10, and has given his Zeppelin to his ex-wife now!?!?!!”
Couldn’t have said it better myself !
Since these systems are large and will be a feature in any room I do think that the look matters. The Bose it is a much better shape- the B&W docking station is different but I wouldn’t want to look at it every day would you?!
So if you want the best in docking stations do take a good look at the Bose SoundDock 10.
