Bose 43085 SoundDock Portable iPod iPhone Speaker Dock

The Bose SoundDock Portable digital music system was designed to bring the full-range sound quality Bose is known for into a battery-powered, grab-and-go form factor. It features a built-in dock for iPod and iPhone models with the 30-pin connector, charging your device while it plays. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 8 hours of listening, making it suitable for outdoor gatherings, kitchen use, or moving from room to room without searching for a power outlet. A molded handle is built directly into the housing, and the dock rotates inward to protect the connector when you are on the move.

Beyond the dock, the SoundDock Portable includes an auxiliary input for connecting other audio sources via a 3.5mm cable, which extends its usefulness to laptops, tablets, and modern smartphones. The included remote control lets you adjust volume, skip tracks, and control iPod playback from across the room. While the 30-pin dock dates the unit to an earlier generation of Apple hardware, the auxiliary input and Bose's acoustic engineering keep it relevant as a capable portable speaker for anyone who values sound quality and battery life in a self-contained package.
