Bose has seen fit to park an iPod in front of a monolith. This thing must weigh 20 pounds. The subwoofer is the size of a child’s head. And it costs $600. Yet they still call it an iPod dock. It’s about a foot tall. It’s not really all that portable, which I guess it isn’t supposed to be.

The dock connector can be swapped out to suit different players, or, for an extra $150 you can get a stereo Bluetooth adapter. Bose also threw in a composite video port, so you can see photos and videos on your TV.

If you are like me, you probably think of those big noise-cancelling headphones when you hear the name Bose. The company does make a lot of other products from radios to home theater speakers as well.

Bose has announced the latest addition to its line of active noise cancellation headphones called the QuietComfort 15. The new headphones feature both new active and passive noise cancellation technology.

Bose just launched the SoundLink wireless speaker system. It’s the company’s first dedicated network audio streaming package for both PC and Mac. This is great for those who want to set up a hassle-free wireless music system without worrying about Wi-Fi configurations.

In fact, there’s no software or Wi-Fi connection required. Just plug the included SoundLink USB key into the computer, select music from iTunes, Pandora, or any other Internet radio or music source, and the audio will stream to the SoundLink speaker via a long-range wireless link that works through most walls and floors. It couldn’t be easier.
