Bose Companion 3

 

The Bose Companion 3 is a great-looking, solidly built three-piece system that produces moderately high volume levels, snappy bass, and a delightfully transparent, spacious midrange. It lacks deep bass output and is a bit too bright for our taste, but...

Spacious, uncolored sound. Stylish good looks. Touch-sensitive control puck.

Won't shake the floor. Sounds thin with some source material.

Bose Companion 3

 

Unassuming and petite, the Bose Companion 3 speakers are very cute and great for those with very little spare real estate. They will fit into almost a...

Attractive design, great breakout box

Truncated Treble, Mediocre mid-tones, Muddy bass, Too expensive

The Bose Companion 3 speakers look great and have a heap of potential but just don't perform the way an expensive set of speakers should.

Bose Companion 3 Mk II review

 

This is the most expensive speaker set in the group and it certainly looks the part, right down to the elegant shuttle wheel-style volume knob.

PURE SWEET SOUND

 

new egg can sell them cheaper. these speakers had been out there like more than 5 years

The best 2.1 speakers out there. These can perform way better than you have in mind. Im more than glad to own them

The only con is that you get used to these high quality sound and when your gonna here another speakers you wont enjoy music as you do with bose. Kind of expensive. The only con is that the bass box is made of press board. I notice that when I looked...

forshame

 

good sound, horrible support from bose.

good clarity and decent volume. good low end and not a bad overall produce, but

i contacted bose support about a couple of design flaws, hoping there would be a work around. the bose tech was very rude, treated me like i didn't even know how to operate this (if he could only see the audio eq i own...). i explained the problem and...

Its like butter to my ears

 

Compared the to SONY SRSDB500 300w 2.1 Speaker System. Sony was just as loud but the Bose was much clearer at high volume. You truly get what u pay for with these. Glad i got these over the Sony.

Great clear sound, very loud

Absolutely none

Full sound, quality build, simple configuration

 

Great for personal gaming and music and has the power to fill the house for parties as well as a small banquet room hooked them up at the family Thanksgiving this year to watch the game

These speakers sound great in my modest-size office and in a 100-person dining room ; Standard audio jack makes them versatile for connecting to most any analog output ; Wired remote has non-slip bottom, tap-to-mute feature, large rheostat volume dial,...

Some say price; I'm not an audiophile, but I don't think you can get this sound from something this small for less

EXPENSIVE - WORTH IT? - NOPE!

 

BOSE has become synonymous with price-fixed technology. For X-mas they gave all dealers a 10% discount to pass along to consumers. Even at 224.00 with free shipping. The Klipsch, or any Logitech's are better values and sound just as good. Save a bunch...

Small clear desktop satellites ; Small clean sounding sub-woofer ; Quality

Satellite cables, and the Audio input cable from the PC to the sub-woofer are woefully too short from many desktop cable routing needs, and could have been made three feet longer for 50 cents ; There is no POWER OFF/ON button on the control puck, just...
