Bose Companion 20

This 2.0 speaker setup is one of the first Bose products we've seen that actually lives up to its billing.

Powerful, bassy sound ; Convenient wired remote ; Stylish design

Quite expensive ; Possibly a bit too bassy ; No bass/treble control

While Bose products have fallen foul of us in the past, the Companion 20 has knocked our socks off. The sheer volume and drive produced by these 2.0 speakers is astonishing and bass, if anything, is fractionally more prominent than it would be in a...

Bose Companion 20 Multimedia speakers review

PC speakers that'll fill your room with sound with not a sub in sight and Bose finally adds brilliant desing to its audio engineering finesse. Shame about the price...

Powerful, room-filling sound ; Sleek, elegant design ; No subwoofer needed

Over sensitive control pod ; Premium price ; Set up

Most will bulk at the price, but when you consider the quality of sound, the sheer power delivered minus a sub, and the ability to add further devices, it's a setup that covers a lot of bases. With so many iPod docks that cost a lot more struggling to...

Bose Companion 20 Review

2.0 speakers have always created their niche in the market with the portability and affordability they provide. Simply hook it up to your laptop, mobile phone

The Companion 20 are priced at Rs. 14,513. In terms of functionality, these are just a simple set of speakers you would want to attach to your laptop, or PMP for somewhat ‘portable’ audio listening. There’s no fancy stuff like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth...

The speakers render a high-quality impression, and their wide-spectrum soundstage is also impressive. The jury furthermore liked the Control Pod with its headphone output and the connector jack for other devices.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great speakers from BOSE, but a little EQ messing around is required.

I'm not a Fanboy of BOSE, but these speakers are surprisingly great. I listen to a wide array of music, all of which sound great on these versatile speakers. The Bose 20 Companion series offer a mighty punch for such a small desk footprint, they give a...

-Nice, minimalist looking speakers. -Design and durability is excellent -Lots of bass especially from a 2.0 system -Very fluid turn volume knob with a touch sensitive on and off button -Titanium mesh to protect speakers -Plug and play -Volume Knob has...

-No EQ -Bass can sometimes get somewhat overwhelming with certain genres.

Amazing!

I bought these because I needed to save some space on my desk but still wanted a big sound from my sound system. Big sound from small speakers, now that is a tall order when it comes to computer speakers. But big things do come in small packages. For a...

Very clear sounds, incredible bass from a 2.0 system, very clean look, control pod is great, saves space on desk

A little pricey, no bass and treble controls
