The SoundDock included an infrared remote that can control an iPod from across a room. The iPod and SoundDock system can also be operated without the remote. When an iPod is docked, all of its controls are accessible, with one-button volume controls available on the SoundDock system's enclosure. The SoundDock can also charge (via firewire) and in the absence of the wall charger will charge up any iPod made before fall 2008.[1] In 2004, the SoundDock featured in Fortune Magazine's 25 Best Products of the Year[2] and 26 Must-Have Gadgets.[3] In 2006, it was the winner of the MacUser Reader's Award for Audio of the Year.[4]

After Bose released the SoundDock series II, the original SoundDock was discontinued in the United States. But as of 2009, a redesigned SoundDock version 2 is currently being sold in the UK along with all the other SoundDock products. The docking station for the SoundDock version 2 is now "Made for iPhone" certified and now charges via USB.[5][6]

Manufacturing quality control is aided by the Bose Syncom measurement system designed in 1972.[7]

SoundDock series II
On August 21, 2008 Bose announced the SoundDock Series II system to supersede the original SoundDock effective September 2008.[8] This edition is GSM-shielded for iPhone use, has a 3.5mm stereo jack for other devices (e.g., CD player), and the same sound infrastructure found in the Portable edition addressing sound problems from the original release.[9][10] The system was released on September 18, 2008.[11][12]

SoundDock series III
On December 8, 2012 Bose announced the SoundDock Series III for iPod and iPhone models with a Lightning connector.[13] In addition to the Apple Lightning Connector, MP3 players and other smartphones can be connected through a 3.5mm stereo jack. The Bose SoundDock Series III was rated positively by Techskunk who found that it delivered a rich sound even at low volume.[14]

SoundDock Portable
On August 29, 2007, Bose announced the creation of the Bose SoundDock Portable,[15] and it was released on September 20, 2007. The Portable has a battery life ranging from 3 to 14 hours depending on bass and listening volume[16][17] Though slightly taller and slimmer than the original, it has an "air duct" on the handle and uses an acoustic waveguide. Compared to the original SoundDock portable, it has improved stereo imaging, midrange response and sonic resolution.[17] It also has a remote that can change between different play lists, and a line input.[16]

SoundDock 10
At a press event on September 15, 2015 Bose announced the SoundDock 10.[18] Priced at US$599, it measures approx 9" high, 17" wide and 10" deep and weighs about 19 lbs. The SoundDock 10 system is "Made for iPod" and "Works with iPhone" certified.[19]

A Bluetooth dock using A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) is available as an accessory.[20] An infrared remote controls the system and the basic functions of an iPod or iPhone, including playlist navigation.[21]

Bose Corporation's Wave Music Systems are table top audio systems which were first released in 1984. Various Wave systems comprise CD players, DAB tuners and inputs for computer sources, and in addition most models contain an AM/FM tuner.

Wave systems use a folded waveguide (a series of passages from the speaker driver to the speaker grill), in an attempt to replicate sound from larger systems in a compact design. Bose claims the waveguide "produces full, clear stereo sound from a small enclosure by guiding air through two 26” folded wave guides".[1] In 1987, Amar G. Bose and William R. Short won the Intellectual Property Owners Education Foundation's Inventor of the Year award for the waveguide loudspeaker system.[2][3]


Acoustic Wave Music System
In 1984 the original Bose Wave system, called the Acoustic Wave Music System (AW-1), was Bose's first-ever tabletop radio. It uses two 2 inch tweeters, and a four inch woofer (which is the only speaker utilizing the Wave Guide), a cassette player, and an AM/FM radio into a mid-sized tabletop stereo system.[5] In 1992 that Bose replaced the cassette player with a CD player (the CD2000), but Bose continued to sell a cassette player version (the CS2010) as an alternative to the CD version until the Acoustic Wave Music System v3 (CD3000) replaced both of them in 1996.

In 2006, Bose introduced the new Acoustic Wave Music System II, which added MP3 CD playback, a bigger screen, a Boselink port and a headphone output. The Acoustic Wave Music System II was judged to be expensive and lacking in performance and features compared to its competitors.[9][10]

Wave Radio
In 1993, the Wave Radio (which has since become known as "Wave Radio I") was introduced. It was smaller than the Acoustic Wave, and used two 2 1/2" drivers. The left-hand speaker provided bass through a 66 cm tapered waveguide twisted around the inside of the unit, which exited the unit on the front next to the right-hand speaker. The right-hand speaker does not use a waveguide and is limited to providing mid- and high-frequency sounds.[2]

Wave Radio II
By 2005 Bose introduced the Wave Radio II, which is a Wave Music System without the CD/MP3 player. This system features a dual tapered waveguide and revised drivers. Aside from the lack of a CD player, the Wave Radio II is identical to the Wave Music System.
