I bought this for my husband so he would have better speakers for the computer.  He does a lot of music recording and we only had the factory speakers that came with the computer (really poor quality).  The Bose speakers are great in that they deliver the quality you would expect without being too expensive. Perfect for what we need but maybe not good enough for someone who's really serious.

I have a Dell computer which has a decent internal speaker system but decent isn't good enough for me. I love listening to music on my computer and watching videos on YouTube. I don't want the music I am hearing to sound "decent", I want it to sound wonderful. I want it to be loud, crisp, and clear...loud enough to drown out the sound of myself signing along from the top of my lungs! The speakers included in my Dell PC are okay, but they don't come close to providing the quality of sound I like when I am listening to my music. Those internal PC speakers don't provide that for me, but my **Bose Companion III 2 Speakers** certainly do! These speakers are exceptional, in my opinion! They stay plugged into my PC and when I play music or watch videos, the sound is just as good as the sound from my stereo systems! Here is Bose's description of their Companion III Speakers: *"The Companion 3 Series II from Bose is an easy way to get great stereo sound from your computer. It comes with two magnetically shielded speakers already mounted on their stands and an Acoustimass module. There is also a multi-function control pod with a volume control, headphone jack, Aux jack and mute button."* Features: * Acoustimass module * Multi function control pad * Preassembled stand * Superior stereo performance I'm no expert when it comes to electronics, but I am an expert when it comes to listening to music. I have been listening to music loudly and proudly for many, many years and I can easily recognize the difference in good speakers and so-so speakers. **Bose Companion III 2 Speakers** are excellent external speakers that blow me away and make my PC sound like an expensive stereo system. These speakers rock and I very highly recommend them!

I did own these  and used them for my laptop.  They proviided excellent sound quality with their crisp range of fequencies and clarity.  However, after moving into a very small workspace, the power of their sound out-put was a bit too overpowering for my small space and I should add, for my personal taste.  Oftentimes sounding distorted. Finally, I passed them on to a friend who had adequate computer room space. Must say I do miss them, casting aside the negatives I mentioned, which are actually trite in comparison to this speakers overall quality!!

We have had these Bose speakers since we moved into our new home. One is set up in the living room and the other has been set up in our accompanying dining room. When we have dinner guests we always have the CD music on low, but you can still hear it softly in the background. We attribute this clarity to the bose speakers. They are small, they are compact, and they are kind of cute. We have both of them behind the shelf, so you really cannot see them, but you certainly can hear them. I don't recall how much we paid for these two speakers, but it was worth it. The bigger woofer, I believe that is the term, is not in our way either. If fact, we have a ceramic rooster on top of it....the unit serves as a small decor item.

Bose is definitely known for their high-quality products and sound. These Bose Companion Speakers definitely meet all expectation's of sound & quality. I have mine hooked up to my Desktop PC and it has enhanced my video game experiences ten fold! If you were to come to my house as I was playing Starcraft 2, you would think I had a fully decked out 5.1 system hooked up and that is why the Bose Companion is my choice for computer speakers! **Pros:** I wish I could share my sound experience with you but the only way you are going to hear it is to buy it! It's unbelievable. The speakers themselves are small and I placed them on top of my LCD monitor using some velcro tape. For something so small they can get really loud. The sub-woofer is about the size of a computer tower on it's side and packs a punch! You can feel thunderous noises and allows you to immerse yourself in whatever movie or game you are enjoying. The sound control pad is easy to control and touch-sensitive shut/off-turn/on. **Cons:** They aren't cheap by any means. If you are looking to save some money try a Logitech set. **Overall:** I highly recommend these for your desktop computer for watching movies, listening to music, and playing video games!

Bose Companion III 2 Speakers will upgrade and enhance your computer experience. It will give your computer a fantastic professional sound so that when you listen to music, videos, or movies on your computer, they will sound as good or better than your television! One of the great features of this product is how easy it is to control the sound, whether you need to adjust the level or mute it quickly, it allows you to do it very conveniently. With a name like Bose, you know that you're buying a great product. Their reputation assures you that you are purchasing a quality product. We've had our Bose Companion III 2 Speaker System for longer than we've had our last 2 computers. It's nice to know that when you invest in this product, it will be with you for a long time. If you spend much time at your computer, I highly recommend that you purchase this product. You will get great value for your money.

The Bose Campanion III 2 Speakers are simply amazing! I am a music educator and I have my students work with music software on a daily basis that requires great sound quality. The Bose III Campanion 2 Speakers are really top-notch. No other speakers come close to the sound quality they can produce. You feel like you are actually in a live studio setting.

The Bose speakers sound system has pristine sound. Equal sound on both the left and right sides.Get's seriously loud. I'd say probably at least 2 blocks away you could hear them.These speakers are also affordable. Concert like sound.  You can find them at various locations such as best buy and Walmart. Also easy to hook up. In a matter of minutes. Also they are stylish and come in black or silver in color. Fairly small but packed with sound and great clarity. You don't have to worry about tripping over them. Hard to break. Although I wouldn't test that theory. Can also be hooked up with surround sound. These are perfect for smaller apartments. Fit great on small tables or shelves. Should also be able to be hooked up to your ipod. Although the subwoofer cord should be longer. It only reaches about a foot.   Also the bass can be a little overwhelming turned up real loud. But if you like it that way it really bumps. Bottom line is I'd highly recommend them.

I have had these speakers for over 5 years since my parents gave them to me for Christmas. They are great, I use them for my computer and for watching movies, listening to music, watching tv shows, etc. The dept and bass they provide is astonishing as well as gives your ears the perking feeling. Not to mention is has multiple plus in's in the back. What I mean by this is that I have my computer and xbox 360 hooked into the back of the speakers at the same time, without any extra cables or cable splitter. This was very useful as I recently have to change my gaming and computer set up due to space restraints. It's bose so you can expect a hefty price tag, but even with the price still comes a quality product, quality packaging, and quality customer service. It also has a headphone jack to listen to music silently which was an added bonus since these are located in my bedroom where my wife and I sleep. (I do most of my movie watching late night after work, when the wifey is sleeping). Overall I highly suggest these speakers for anyone looking to improve on the sound quality of there system., other speakers don't do justic.
