Music has the power to move you—and Bose has an iPod speaker system that moves with your music. The SoundDock Portable digital music system reproduces your favorite tunes with fullness and clarity unusual for a portable system. And it's so compact, you can take it just about anywhere, even outdoors.
The SoundDock Portable system was engineered so your iPod can be enjoyed out loud in more locations, without compromising sound quality. Bose® proprietary waveguide speaker technology and powerful neodymium speakers provide efficient, high quality audio from a slim profile.
A rechargeable lithium-ion battery (included) provides more power and longer playing time than most rechargeable batteries. The rotating iPod docking station disappears for storage and protection during transit. And a molded handle makes it easy to carry this iPod accessory from place to place.
Easy to use
Just dock and play your compatible iPod. It charges while you enjoy music with no interruptions. A custom remote easily controls the system and basic iPod functions including playlist navigation. And the auxiliary input lets you play other portable sources, too.

FAQs
Can I play music from a digital music player other than an iPod/iPhone?
Yes. Although designed for use with an iPod/iPhone, the system also has an auxiliary input for connecting other audio devices. You can enjoy the same audio performance from another MP3 player, a portable CD player or music phone.
Does the SoundDock Portable system run only on battery power?
No. The SoundDock Portable system includes a power cord for plugging into an AC wall outlet in addition to the rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
In addition to controlling the SoundDock system, does the remote also control the iPod?
The custom remote controls the SoundDock Portable system plus basic iPod functions: on/off, pause, volume, track seek/scan and playlist navigation. The SoundDock system's volume also can be controlled by buttons located on the dock on the side of the system.
Does the SoundDock system charge my iPod/iPhone?
Yes. Whether operating on battery power or plugged into a wall outlet, the SoundDock system will charge any compatible iPod/iPhone docked to the system.
How long is the battery life?
Battery life is dependent on many factors such as volume level and audio content. At maximum volume, the SoundDock Portable system battery will last approximately three hours. At lower volume levels, the battery will last considerably longer. Recharge the battery or use optional spare battery for additional playing time.
Does the SoundDock Portable system achieve the same level of performance on battery power?
