What is a sound dock?

Sound Dock is a device in which it physically contains MP3 or other audio player. While "anchored", the player can receive power charges. In most cases, the sound dock will have either speakers or will be connected to the stereo system, allowing the player to be used when anchored, without the need for a headphone.

There are two main types of sound dock. One type has an audio cable that connects to the home stereo system. This can provide a good audio experience similar to that plays a CD, especially in a system that can create a spatial sound. One disadvantage is that playing music through large speakers for CDs can emphasize the lower quality of MP3 and other digital audio files in a way that is not easy to detect when listening to headphones. However, this is mainly a problem for people with demanding sound standards and may not be difficult for many other occasional music listeners. The buyers will have to check the reviews carefully ifThey do the sound quality of the speakers. Such docks have a wide range of speakers, which means that the user can have a compromise between volume and portability.

Most sound docks can also charge a portable music player. This may be appropriate because it will save drive with energy wires, especially for models that need bulky adapters. However, the time required to recharge the device can be longer on the sound dock.

Although Sound Dock is the general name of the product, many such devices are named after iPod®, either directly or through the words on words. This is partly like a marketing tool, but partly for DOCK Works showing specifically with iPod®. This is important because iPod® has specially designed data and energy sockets and plugs, so it may not be compatible with all sound docks. It's also a workrola before buying because not all sound docksThey can charge all iPod® models.

A specific product known as SoundDock® is also available. This product, whose name is a trademark, is produced by Bose. It is designed for use in one room and has built -in speakers. Most independent reviews indicate that they are of high quality, but with a high price.
