Bose SoundDock 10 Sports Bluetooth Dock, Deeper Lows

By Geoff Duncan September 16, 2009

bosedock Audio gear maker Bose has unveiled the Bose SoundDock 10, an iPod-compatible one-piece speaker system that the company claims offers the sound of a much larger, pricier piece of gear thanks to newly designed large-magnet woofer and two new “Twiddler” transducers which combine the roles of tweeters and mid-range drivers.

“The SoundDock 10 system is for people who want the sound quality of a primary music system for their iPod or iPhone,” said Bose Home Entertainment VP Phil Hess, in a statement. “We started with a clean sheet and a clear goal: to deliver unparalleled audio performance without the need for complicated equipment. We then developed new technologies to deliver that performance without compromise.”

The SoundDock 10 measures 9 inches high by 17 inches wide and 10 inches deep, but incorporates a new version of Bose’s well-marketed waveguide technology folded into the enclosure, creating an acoustic sense of a much larger system. The SoundDock 10 also includes proprietary digital signal processing to “improve” audio detail and definition, and the SoundDock 10 insulates the iPod or iPhone from vibration regardless of sound level; the system is also designed to cool using convective air currents rather than fans.

The SoundDock 10 works with any click-wheel iPod, iPhone, or iPod touch. The unit also features an aux input and an interchangeable dock—an optional Bluetooth dock is available to enable users to stream music from a Bluetooth-enabled music phone or similar device. The SoundDock 10 also ships with a remote for controlling basic function, sound sources, and playlists.

The SoundDock 10 is available now for a suggested price of $599; the Bluetooth dock is priced at $149.

AirPods Pro
– $220, was $250

We weren’t entirely impressed with the standard AirPods, so when Apple announced it was going to release the souped-up AirPod Pro, we were a little skeptical. Would the company be able to deliver this time and improve on all the areas that the AirPods failed? The answer is a resounding yes. The AirPods Pro are shockingly good and are absolutely the best true wireless earbuds that you can get if you’re an iOS user. Their sound quality has improved tremendously, their noise-canceling is spectacular, and they’re extremely comfortable to use even for a long period. Right now, you can score the AirPods Pro at Verizon for $220 instead of $250.

Apple AirPods — from $139

What's the difference between the first and second generation of AirPods besides the wireless charging case upgrade? Not much, to be honest. They look exactly the same, although there are some notable improvements underneath the hood, including the H1 chipset, longer talk time, and support for voice-activated Siri. They also remain ridiculously easy to operate and set up for iOS devices, although the lack of waterproofing or workout features is baffling considering the price point (you can take the Galaxy Buds to the gym, and they cost less). Right now, you can get the AirPods with the standard wired charging case for $139 (down from $159) at Amazon and $169 (down from $199) for the model with a wireless charging case.
