I enjoyed docking my iPad in the BassDock while testing it for this review. It offers great viewing angles, and its integrated speakers are tremendously more powerful than the iPad’s built in speakers. The system’s bass is a little heavy, but some might like the extra bump.

For music fans looking for a little “oomph” in a small package, the BassDOCK is a solid performer.

Overall, Scosche’s bassDock has definite advantages and disadvantages relative to its most similar rival, and though we were tempted to give it a slightly higher rating than Octiv Stage because of its somewhat superior sound, the truth is that these two options are really very comparable.
