There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Let me begin by saying that I am an owner of a Bose Sounddock portable. I've had it for almost one year now, and decided I wanted another ipod music system for my library. I read many reviews about the Logitech s715i and decided to make a purchase. I have had it for almost two days now, and have compared it closely to the Bose. Overall, I have concluded that this system is very competitive to the Bose. The sound quality is very comparable, however, the Bose still sounds better overall. I tested both systems in the same room, the same location, with the same songs, the same volume levels, and stood at the same distance to compare the two. The result's are below. Let me also add that I am not an audiophile at all, but I know good sound when I hear it.
I compared the two systems using the following criteria : highs, mids, lows, maximum volume, portability, and value
Highs : Logitech Wins (The highs are very clear and crisp, and more pronounced compared to the Bose. The Bose is very clear also, just slightly muted. Some songs sound better on the Logitech for this reason, but the Bose still sounds great with any type of music.)
Mids : Logitech Wins (The Mids are also very clear. The Logitech has a slight edge in mids. I was able to hear many subtleties in the music, in the vocals, and they were more pronounced and slightly louder than the Bose. Once again, this is a slight difference. It was hard to choose between the two.)
Lows : Bose Wins (Here is where I think the Bose stands out, especially at low volumes. The bass on the Bose beats the Logitech, but it is still a very close match. It seems that some songs I tested sound better on the Bose. The wave guide technology comes through. The bass is much more resonant, rich, and punchy without drowning out the music. I tested both systems in exactly the same area, and the Bose won most of the time. However, I was very impressed with the Logitech also. The bass is excellent for many types of music, and I was very surprised in the sound quality from a system that is almost $300 dollars cheaper.)
Maximum Volume : Bose Wins (You can really crank up the Bose very high and blast it without it being distorted. However, I did find some distortion with certain styles of music that have louder bass. Overall, the sound is very stable, and sounds great at high volumes. I was disappointed in the maximum volume the Logitech could put out. Although I could hear the music, I just couldn't crank it up, and really test it out. It is overall weaker than the Bose. However, It still sounds amazing, and can easily fill up a small to mid-size room with no problems.)
Portability : Bose Easily Wins (The battery on the Bose is by far superior to the Logitech. As suspected, running the Logitech on battery alone significantly reduces the sound quality. It's a nice feature, but it's not very impressive. Both systems are very easy to carry around, and the Logitech is much lighter, but needs to be plugged in to enjoy the full sound.)
Value : Logitech (The Logitech is an excellent value. I'm impressed. For the price, I don't think you will find a better system. The Bose is obviously much more expensive, partly because of the name. However, it is a very solid ipod music system and lives up to it's hefty price tag overall.
Other Pros : Both systems are a very small and pack a ton of sound for the size. I'm equally impressed with how both perform, and how easy they are to move around. Both are very sturdy, but I still have to see how the Logitech holds up over time.
Other Cons : As others have stated, the docking station on the Logitech is very constricted, and you must remove your iphone case in order to access it. Also, the remote on the Logitech is very basic, and too small.
Overall : Both systems are very nice. They are very similar in sound. The Logitech is an outstanding value for the price. I have to admit that I am very impressed with the Logitech system overall. I bought it for a little over $100. Compared to Bose's $400 price tag, the Logitech is an excellent value. However, it's not quite at the same level of sound quality as the Bose. That is my personal opinion. If you are able to afford the Bose, you should buy it. I think it's a better system. I love it. I also love the Logitech though, and time will really give me a good idea of how it performs and lasts. If you are on a budget, the Logitech is an excellent buy.
I am very satisfied with both systems, and would highly recommend both to anyone. I am planning to use both for many years.
The sound for the size is pretty amazing. It boasts 8 drivers (two tweeters, two mids, and four small woofers-two on the front and two on the back). It plays adequately loud even for a large room (if you have tile floors the sound carries even further) with the volume just at halfway. The remote is pretty handy, and it will work from at least 30 feet away and it controls basic functions such as skip, repeat, shuffle, power, pause and volume. This dock also comes with a carrying case (though I use the case more for storing it when not in use to keep it clean and free of the ongoing dust we have here in Arizona).
A few things to mention:
Some have said that they have difficulty with the flip down dock cover (also acts as the stand) supporting it. This is not an issue, you just need to make sure it's snapped and locked into place and it will be fine. You will not break it by snapping it firmly into place on the back and it has a rubber grip to keep it from sliding both while operating or playing music at loud volumes -there are no issues with it sliding from vibration, etc. This dock, though light, seems to be made very well. The look and feel of it is actually pretty durable.
I cannot speak for much regarding the battery life due to having used it most when it's plugged in with the supplied adapter, though when it is unplugged it should be noted that the two rear woofers are turned off. I am assuming that this is to prolong the life of the battery if you are using it in a portable setting. Though when I did use it without the plug I was listening to Coast To Coast AM sitting on my back patio late at night, thus I didn't need extra bass for talk radio and didn't need to have it turned up very loud either. For music however, at least for an extended period of playing time, I do recommend plugging it in if you have that option so you can get the extra loudness and so you don't wear down the battery on your ipod or iphone. The dock only charges your i-device when it is plugged in.
One thing I also noticed is to turn off the EQ on any device you use it with. Having a heavy bass setting does decrease volume, and I find it really doesn't help the sound reproduction overall. The unit seems to do a fine job via it's built in circuitry reproducing whatever you are throwing at it at louder volume in this manner. It is true as others have said, you will hear notes that you didn't before -it really is that clear.
This dock fits most ipods, and for those of you with Droids or any other mp3 player/portable device are not out of luck either as it also sports a 3.5 mm input jack on the back panel. Also, as others have mentioned, if you are using it with an iphone or ipod, and have a protective case on, you may need to remove it in order to fit your i-device on the dock connector. Though you could probably avoid this by simply purchasing a "dock extender" cable if you wish.
To sum it up, this isn't a "thumper" but it is pretty good and the sound decent for what it is. It is not as good or better than the Bose Sound Dock, so if you are expecting more "ummph" you may want to look at the higher priced sound docks. I think for most however, you will be impressed for how it sounds for the price. Certainly better than the competition in this price range. I would say after this that the next step up would be the Altec Lansing dock or the Bose, but again this will do fine for most who just want a good dock with decent sound.

I have an old iPod touch which i can dock. This product has Aux capability which can be used to play with other phones (though the remote feature is gone).
I am trying to test this out with some Bluetooth Receivers that can be plugged on the 30 Pin iPod dock and then this speaker will be converted to a bluetooth speaker....which means I will get a very high value for a very less total cost of ownership as I can compare the sound to Bose docks (I know lows are better on Bose), but at this cost, there is no comparison.
