BOSE Sounddock or B&W Zeppelin Mini?
Discussion
Right, I want a much better quality docking station for my iPod, and I've narrowed it down to these 2:
BOSE: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bose®-SoundDock®...
B&W: http://www.amazon.co.uk/B-W-Zeppelin-Mini/dp/B0049...
Simple question really, which one would be better? Sadly I can't afford the "full fat" versions of either (the BOSE one is c£500 and the big Zeppelin is £650!) but knowing these 2 companies these smaller versions will still be epic quality. When I get 5 minutes I'll nip down to the Apple Store and take a look but for now I'm after your opinions. Cheers

Im in the same boat, did have a nice Altec Lansing unit but the OH has broken it.
Ive tried both the BOSE Sound dock II (250ish) and the B&W mini, I was disappointed by both. If I had the cash Id have the big Zeppelin in a heart beat, it sounds and looks fantastic.
Another I have tried is the Dr DRE Beat box (£280ish), this packs a huge punch and would fill a massive room, very good low end. But it looks a bit crap and is rather large.
The Phillips kit is quite good, but for some reason it just doesnt appeal to me, likewise with the Pioneer I tried in selfridges at the weekend.
The product which I am probably going to buy is the Soundfreaq Sound Platform (£170), it has sound to match and IMO beat the BOSE but it also has bluetooth functionallity. However to confuse things a little more Soundfreaq have literally just released a brand new product "Soundfreaq Sound Stack" ($300-400,be in UK in couple weeks), initial reviews sound like its going to be the best for the price range.

I'd say Bose as well.
I love the larger Zeppelin but don;t have the space for it, so I was excited when they released the Mini as I planned to replace my own Bose dock with it.
I found the sound very disappointing so stuck with the Bose.
I am not a Bose fan generally, and the Soundock is the only one of their products that I own.
