Customer Review: Bose on a Budget
Summary: 5 Stars
You may think spending this much on PC speakers with no subwoofer is a bit steep, but when you hear these you will be glad you spent the extra money. Personally, I am a professional and listen to music at work as much as possible and I wanted to upgrade to attain the best sound possible without a mess of speakers everywhere. Initially I put these on top of the desk, but the sound was so good that I found it too distracting to concentrate on my work. So I put them under the desk where my old set had been. The sound is still great. The best thing about Bose is the clarity and bass response. I don't know how they packed it into this small set, but they did. Literally I can shake the desk if I want to. But the clarity and enjoyment at low volume is what I am most happy about.Customer Review: If you want uncompromising sound from your computer it really doesn't get any simpler
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been in the need for new computer speakers for years. Decided on these mostly due to the Bose reputation and ended up purchasing locally. I bought them primarily for listening to music while working from the home office and therefore I didn't require or desire a separate sub. I also didn't want or need treble/bass/tone adjustments. If you need to adjust those kinds of settings you are using the wrong equipment.
The Bose Companion 2 Series II multimedia speakers are amazing. They really hit the mark from the highs to the lows. Distortion free and crystal clear. You could debate the dollar/value ratio all day but in the end these speakers just plain sound fantastic. If you want uncompromising sound from your computer it really doesn't get any simpler.
Customer Review: Can't go wrong with Bose
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this set just over a week ago and I'm simply amazed at the high quality sound. Sub-woofer? "I don' need no sub-woofer!" Not even necessary as these sound that good and have plenty of bass, so if you're crammed for room, this is the way to go. Clear, crisp music reproduction makes the music sound very genuine like the original instruments. I realize the "high end audiophile" way is to not eq nor process anything, and these are great without any tone adjustments. However, for me, using my PC's on board eq as normal with these speakers make them sound simply outstanding! They are also plenty loud enough and the angled design makes proper speaker placement perfect on a desktop. Music reproduction the way it's meant to be heard. You just can't go wrong with Bose.Customer Review: Subtle, high quality sound
Summary: 5 Stars
I got these when I upgraded to a new MacBook Pro. It's a very simple system, plug and play. The speakers are more substantial than what you usually find for computers. They look very good on the desktop. I was even more impressed when I began playing around with the various settings in iTunes (Classical, Acoustic, etc.) These speakers allow you to hear subtle variations in tone. Bose tech support is unusually knowledgeable and helpful. Based on this experience, I am thinking of buying more Bose products. ADDED NOTE: a few months later--I now realize I NEVER REALLY HEARD my music before. I can't believe what I was missing! Since these wonderful speakers can also be used for an iPod, I plan to use them to save myself the cost of another system. FANTASTIC.Customer Review: Top notch sound!
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with the others that these are far beyond your every day computer speakers. I am getting clean clean sounds and an excellent balance.
I was able to adjust the sound to my specifications with the awesome sound software on my computer. Now, I am finally glad I paid more for an upgraded sound system when I purchased this computer! I was certainly not benefiting from it with my plain old cheapy computer speakers.
I really enjoy having the headphone jack on the front of the speaker too.
These speakers are nice and heavy...not all plastic like most of the ones I've had in the past. The box, as shipped, weighed 8lbs.
I could not be more pleased with the Bose Companion 2 Series II speakers!
