Bose Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System

Great speakers, it's worth to own it

Strengths: Deliver clear crispy 5.1 channel sound with just 2 speakers, great bass, easy one touch control pod

Weakness: Seems "expensive" but that's the Bose

I have bought the companion 5 system for 2 weeks. Before I made the decision I shopped around for other brands computer speaker system such as logitech, altec lansing, creative, seems all the others has the same performance, you may not able to find the difference until I heard the sound from bose. The companion 3 series II also deliver the great sound but little bit weak, after hear the...

Rich, full sound...

Strengths: Great simulated 5.1 sound for a 2.1 system, desktop control pad, sleek design

Weakness: Price - $399 is high, but was the same everywhere when I got them (of course I just got an e-mail today from MacMall with a price that is $80 less... Go figure!)

This new series of Bose Companion speakers is a huge step up in design from the previous series. the Companion 5 system give a simulated 5.1 surround sound experience from a 2.1 configuration. Bose does this by putting two small angled speakers in each of the satellites aiming the two inner speakers at the listener, and the other two are angled slightly to each side. this configuration along with...

Speaker System

Strengths: The sound!

Weakness: Nothing!

I am totally satisfied with this product. The Bose Companion 5 sound system delivers sound quality well beyond my high expectations for sound. Absolutely wonderful for those that watch videos or play games, the immersive sound is mind blowing, and music has never sounded better. Well worth the $399.

Bose Computer Speakers

Strengths: Automatic recognized on Windows VISTA and MAC OS X 10.5 PC with no drivers need to be installed. Clear and loud. Nice volume control knob thats very sensitive when you turn it.

Weakness: No TV or stereo connection ... The only connection I can find it USB which only works with my computer. EXPENSIVE, paid $400 for a 2.1 speakers.

I bought this speaker at my local mall and there pretty expensive. I paid $400 plus tax. The overall quality of these speaker are superior. I wish the speakers can connect to my TV or my stereo set. When connect to my VISTA laptop it automatic recognized and no need to install drivers. The sound quality is really nice.

Bose Computer Speakers

Strengths: Good sound quality, easy set-up

Weakness: expensive

I bought this because of the easy set-up and good sound quality Bose is known for. Bose is also known for expensive prices of their products. The sound is not really 5.1 but it is close.

For the Fine Tuned Sound Expert

Strengths: Excellent highs and lows, full reproduction of sound, good looking, somewhat space saving, nice extras, WOW factor!

Weakness: VERY high fidelity learning curve, as if this were a bad thing!

These are not your father's computer speakers, they are a whole other brand of sound monsters created in a secret lab hidden away from the world. Seriously though, these computer speakers can easily compete with 5.1 THX stereo computer speakers with not much in the way of comparison. Don't even bother spending the money if you are A)only looking to hear a song or two and only care about if it has...
