New Bose SoundDock 10, and B&W, duke it out “up there”

Well, my prediction wasn’t far off.  Kudos to Framingham’s B-boys for the novel change-out dock that can accept iPod dock, Bluetooth receiver, or perhaps a ZuneHD dock?!?!  I think Bose has offered something that is much more representative of their DNA.  The Waveguide design has been sorely missed from a high-visibility consumer oriented device.  Since the wave-radio, there really hasn’t been, in my opinion, a well encapsulated chariot for what is the notably impressive, if not universally pleasing, signature sound technology.

…and again, a big tip of the hat for making a product truly worthy of coverage by wireless, audio, blog.

Looking forward to hearing one.  At $599, it’s a bit rich for my blood.  But I think consumers in this segment are always better off with choice at every price tier, and now the B&W Zeppelin has a worthy foil.

And just one day after the Sounddock II and Portable got some company at $399 from the Zeppelin mini.  Another product I am curious to hear… though you’ll never get me to think that the bwmini’s strange arm on the top is anything but awkward.
