Music Dock Ideas for xmas

[Smooth-eh 856]

Hi guys,

 

Someone I know is interested in a music dock for xmas and wanted to start getting some options going. Budget is probably $100-150max but if less and still high quality would be great.

 

The focus is the music itself, so things like clocks/video displays etc aren't necessary.

 

Anyone have anything they would recommend?

Question, wireless bluetooth or line in aux or both? Further, did you want it to be portable or sit in one place?

Wireless/Bluetooth isn't necessary, old iPod support nice but aux is definitely mandatory.

 

Portable is nice!

 

If you know like 1 bluetooth model that is good I could take suggestions from that too

Bluetooth is definitely necessary.

Ok so portable, bluetooth capability, aux mandatory ipod support if possible.

 

$100-150

without the portable i guess but most "portable" sound isn't that great

Jambox mini is a good choice for the quality.

Though if you're willing to jump your max budget up 50 bucks you can go get a bose soundlink mini.

If not you can always go for the soundlink color

Honestly for quality as well as price, Bose is the best way to go.

 

Forgot to mention that all of these models have the line in auxiliary port so they support anything with a headphone jack.
