Marta, I don't have the Bose system for the iPod, but I have many of their other products and they are awesome! Great quality, sound that is rich and crisp. They continue to send updates to the Theater systems, they usually offer upgrades as well as the hardware improves. I am a true believer in this company to supply us with great product.
