The main stumbling block with the SoundDock isn't anything to do with its design or sound quality. In fact, this is a well-designed rechargeable speaker system that does the job it's designed to do well, notwithstanding the ineffectual remote. It's the price that really sticks in the craw: £280 is a lot for most people to spend on their main hi-fi system, let alone one to put in the kitchen and use in the garden occasionally. And purchasing accessories will bump that up even further. The bag is £40 and if you want a spare battery you'll have to fork out an astonishing £70. Good though the SoundDock is, it's certainly not worth that much.
