Bose Companion 2 Series III review

Bose Companion 2 Series III sound great and aren't too big — but lack the latest tech.

Full bass without a subwoofer ; Big overall sound ; Not too big

Pricey ; No Bluetooth or USB-C

Or you could get yourself the Companion 2 Series III and keep it simple. You’re worth it.

Quality Speakers at a Resonable Price : Bose Companion 2 Series III & Creative T15 Wireless

Here I am looking at two sets of small speakers, the first from Creative are a wired Bluetooth unit that is similar in size and shape to the second from Bose, a name I associate with high end audio but here at a cheaper price.

These are 20x15x8.5cm the total weight is just over 2kilos. The left speaker has a hard wired 1.4metre lead coming from the rear to connect to the right speaker. The right speaker has a tone knob, a Bluetooth button and an on/off volume knob in a...

Junk

Will never buy Bose again!

Worst sounding speakers I've ever had. No base at all even with my base boost turn.

Good set of computer speakers.

These actually would work nicely on a bookshelf to attach to an ipod, music dock or other device to bring music and radio to any room. I am not a fan of all of BOSE speakers and equipment but they really are the best option for good computer speakers...

The sound quality is very nice for listening to radio, podcasts, audio and even music. For a 2.0 speaker system, they are very capable. While BOSE is somewhat controversial in the audiophile world for their sound trickery and special audio processing...

I'd pay $20 more for built-in bluetooth pairing, though it does offer two AUX ports, so there are ways to work around this limitation. In a perfect world, it would have a digital input as well.

You get what you pay for.....

I needed to replace some 15 year old Turtle Beach sound system that started to hum and could not take the noise anymore. Read the reviews and figured how could I go wrong with Bose. If you like to listen to music these are not the speakers for you....

See above.

Great speakers!

That clean, clear, full range BOSE sound. Very decent bass, even better than many 2.1 systems. Absolutely no background power hiss. I can't tell they are on when my system is on but not playing any sound. The volume range is impressive, from whisper...

Absolutely none

Awesome Speakers

I was looking to upgrade my 20 year old speakers, and wanted similar size with a headphone jack. This was one of the few that matched. I choose this over similar priced speakers because I dislike having to constantly change volume when I'm watching a...

+Tone Auto adjust, able to hear low sounds without adjusting volume +Arcade / THX movie styled sound quality +Magnetically shield

-price was more than I was planning on, but worth it.

Wonderful Out-of-the-box Experience

As a college student, I'm constantly moving between small apartments with thin walls. With my previous 2.1 system I ALWAYS felt like the subwoofer was going to annoy the neighbors, even at the low-mid volume I generally prefer. The bulk also made it a...

-High and Mid-Range tones are fantastic for the price, and tuned perfectly out-of-the-box imo -The bass capability is a great match for the intended volume of a 2.0 PC system -Good build quality, the volume knob has a nice firm feel -Two 2.5mm inputs...

-$100 2.0 speakers made it really hard for me to pull the trigger (but I'm glad I did!)

These are very good speakers!

You simply are not going to find desktop sperakers in this prive range as good as these. I was very imptressed out of thy ebox with no adjsutments. Great sound and decent (not super strong bnut decent) bass. I use Nahimic Sound software and it really...

-They are BOSE, and good quality - Decent Bass, and good overall sound - Not that expensive really

- Wish it came with a white marker on volume knob (minor con) - No other cons
