Bose is small yet BIG on quality
By Ron from La Grange, Texas on 10/18/2009.
Pros: Compact Design, Great Sound Quality, Comfortable, Easy To Use
Primary use: Personal
Describe Yourself: Quality Oriented
I am very happy that i upgraded to these computer speakers. The foot print is small and quality of sound extremely good. Very easy controls that take up little space. Worth the difference.
Top Notch Sound
By Kship from Huntsville, Texas on 08/31/2009.
Primary use: Business
Pros: Compact Design, Great Sound Quality
Describe Yourself: Quality Oriented
These BOSE sound most excellent and I had some Klipsch PC speakers before that sounded good but the quality of construction was not good. They broke pre-maturely so I went with BOSE. REAL GOOD sound for the money.

Best Uses: Computer Speakers
Pros: Great Sound Quality, Desktop speakers are comp, Attractive Design, Easy To Connect
Cons: Subwoofer is large, Lacks on and off switch a, Speaker cords are sh
Describe Yourself: Tech Savvy, Audiophile, Professional, Musically Inclined
I use this to support computer sound. The sound quality is excellent. The speaker size and versatility is truly great, but the subwoofer is very large and hard to place as it takes up a lot of space. The control lacks an on and off switch and the speaker cords are too short.
Perfect computer speakers!

Bose Companion 3 Series II Multimedia
By ECMGBOB from St. Louis, MO on 11/13/2007.
Describe Yourself: Frequent Traveler, Gearhead
Pros: Good Sound Quality, Powerful, Compact
Best Uses: Indoors, Office
Cons: Pricey
Awesome dynamic range when paired with MP-3 via desktop. Great sound quality at all volume levels, especially in an office setting where low volume often equals low fidelity. Fun to turn way up when you are the only one within earshot too!
Great Sound
By The Kdog from Warwick, RI on 10/31/2007.
Best Uses: Home
Cons: None
Pros: Powerful, Good Sound Quality
I was looking for a good speaker system for my computer and these Bose fit the bill. I heard them in my local store and the sound was great. With so much music available on the internet, I now use my computer for my sound system and these speakers fill the house with great sound. The sound that comes out of these tiny Bose speakers is amazing and the woofer, which creates natural base as opposed to some of the competitions fabricated base can rattle the windows if you want them too. I like being able to regulate the base, which some other systems don't offer.
Couldn't be easier!
By Stanton University from Highland Heights, KY on 10/8/2007.
Describe Yourself: Gearhead, Practical
Best Uses: Home, Indoors, Office
Pros: Powerful, Easy to install, Durable, Good Sound Quality
Cons: Short speaker wires
I use these in music classrooms. My faculty love the sound quality they are getting now!
Awesome
By RS from Miami, FL on 10/8/2007.
Pros: Good Sound Quality, Durable, Compact, Powerful
Best Uses: Office, Indoors
Cons: Pricey
Describe Yourself: Student, Practical
It's hard to believe the sound that comes from these little speakers...Don't know if they're worth the [$]+ because you can get some pretty good speakers for less but i spent it and am loving them.
Very satisfied
By phyl from Georgia on 10/4/2007.
Pros: Durable, Compact, Good Sound Quality
Best Uses: Home
Describe Yourself: Student
As soon as I received my Companion 3 speakers, I easily installed them. I like the small size and good sound quality. Someone really into music and superior sound quality would not be impressed, however, for my purposes I am extremely pleased. I would recommend these for anyone who needs a middle of the road type speaker system. I would buy these again.
Great product
By Steve from Los Angeles, CA on 10/2/2007.
Describe Yourself: Gearhead, Practical
Pros: Good Sound Quality, Powerful, Excellent construction, Compact, Durable
Best Uses: Indoors, Office, Home
Cons: No remote control for vol
I use the product on my home TV instead of bothering with a stereo / surround sound. I plan on connecting it to my Windows Media Center PC, and the 1/8" jacks make that very simple. The construction and build quality is top notch--very impressive. The tiny speakers are great--well made, heavy steel stands, and decent sound for my purposes. Subwoofer tucks behind my AV cart and TV, but has alot of low bass. The volume knob is great, with a fantastic design, but in my situation I would love to be able to adjust the volume via remote control, which is not possible. If you are planning on using it for PC audio, it's definitely a fantastic choice. Probably a bit pricey, but a great non-surround audio system for a PC.
amazing
