    SUPERB!!!!

    • Written by

    Absolutely fantastic - best purchase ever!
    Brought these speakers to dock our Ipod directly into them to use as our home music system! The sound quality is absolutely crystal clear and soooooo much volume and base if you want it, perfect for parties!
    Originally purchased the Companion 5 which are also excellent but we didn't realise that those can ONLY be connected through a PC to play music from the Ipod (the information and packaging for both are the same so very confused when we were told we should have gone for Companion 3 first, even this website doesn't state the difference!)
    Also, you need to buy a universal dock if you want to have it set up properly so the Ipod charges when not in use.
    Well worth every penny and you wont be disappointed!     …More

    Just too good

    • Written by from Warlingham

    I am sitting here listening to these Bose Companion V2 speakers after setting them up and listening for about an hour and the verdict so far is 'Blimey they're good!!' Infact they are too good perhaps, let me explain. The sound differs quite allot depending on how the tracks were down/uploaded. You can really hear the difference from 128kbps and 160kbps etc which can make some music sound a little off quality wise but all in all they are excellent desk top speakers for your PC or Mac. I was told that there was no separate volume for the sub which was worrying but was pleased to find a knob on the sub which turns the deep bass down or up so the bass is customisable. I was thinking of getting the Apple HiFi speaker but I wanted proper stereo separation so these Bose speakers are a perfect alternative plus they have a seperate input for any MP3 player and a headphones output if you wish to be Mr or Mrs Quiet. Oh and they re £29 cheaper than the Apple Hifi so save and buy some decent headphones.

    Enjoy!     …More

    Brilliant!

    • Written by from Glasgow

    Just completely superior to any other multimedia soundsystem I have heard. Sound quality is just perfect. They just fill the room with a warm, crystal clear sound. Fuctionality and control are good too, especially like the included control dock with one touch mute and jacks for input and headphones.

    They look fantastic and sit nicely beside my new black MacBook! You have to buy them!     …More

    Stunning!

    • Written by from Abergele

    The sound from these little gems is absolutely fantastic. We bought ours as a replacement for a surround sound system. Not interested in the sound bouncing off walls just wanted something to improve the terrible in built speakers! Only negative is we were told could adjust volume with tv remote can't work out how so a bit disappointed but can't fault the system otherwise. If you know how to use tv remote let me know! Get it bought! …More

    I bought these speakers 3 years ago. I've never once had a problem with these and the sound quality is superb. If you are having doubt's about buying this product then don't, you will not be disappointed. I'm sure these will continue to be my laptop/movie speakers for another 3 years. …More
