Great reputation, horrible design by Mir
I purchased the Companion 2 as a backup to my Bose MediaMate speakers. Both cost around the same retail wise. I am highly disappointed by the sound i get out of the Companion 2 speakers. The bass is soo pumped up you cant hear the lighter tones. When Listening to one of my favorites Slayer songs the guitar riff completely disappears just like it did on the BOSE 141 speakers. I also found that turning up the volume doesn’t help any. If anything it distorts the music.
I would highly recommend that if you want a pair of “GOOD” Bose speakers look for the mediamate. they are far superior.
Never Was Shipped by Jack B. Scogin
Never got the item. Order accepted 28 May and by late June I am asking questions. Bottom line is Amazon had the vendor refund my purchase price 100%. I am sure Bose Speakers are great.
Shazam! Knocked my socks off for the price… by Veggiechiliqueen
I purchased the Bose Companion II Computer Speakers to make up for the shortcomings of a flat-panel monitor with integrated rear-facing speakers. Out of the box, my new monitor sounded like a tin can…I turned the volume up all the way on the computer only to find that the “integrated” speakers couldn’t cope, so it was off to Sam’s Club for replacements.
I purchased some Bose MediaMate speakers for an older computer several years ago, and was unhappy with the experience. I bought the speakers at a Bose outlet for about $130, and they never did function properly due to a faulty cable connection.
However, after listening to the Companion II speakers in-store and reading generally positive reviews, I decided on these instead of the Companion III system, which featured a blocky subwoofer and mountable cube speakers (I didn’t want to risk alienating the neighbors with a cranked-up bass). Setup was a breeze; I simply popped them out of the box, plugged them in, and away I went.
The difference was instant (and amazing). Instead of the tinny computer speakers, with Bose Shrek III now sounded like it was in a theater, with a becoming richness and resonance and a powerful bass to underscore the onscreen action. The speakers sound equally good when applied to jazz, classical, or anything else you can throw at them.
The Bose Companion speakers provide rich, full sound with a good range of highs and lows; one downside is the inability to physically adjust levels (the speakers do so automatically), although you can go in through your control panel and do so. Also, a remote would have been nice, but for the price, these provide excellent sound for the money. There are dual audio inputs, so you can use these with your computer as well as portable audio devices such as MP3 players or CD players.
Long-standing surprise by T. J. Dunnigan
I’ve owned these speakers for over three years and continue to be surprised by the sound quality. I’ve tried over seven other desktop speakers (without subwoofer boxes) and find none that meet or exceed the sound quality and range I obtain with these Bose (listening to Flamenco, Classical and Jazz, primarily.)
Additionally, I find they look stylish on my desk.
I’m likely to purchase a second set for my (work) office.
