Reviews for Bose® Companion® 2 Series II Multimedia Speaker System

Nice sound at first but over time it started failing, getting fuzzy, over base-y. Not good for spoken word like watching movies.

Bought these speakers 9 months ago, so they're not exactly old, but the sound quality really diminished over time. Plus there's no on/off switch so you have to unplug the speakers or you get white noise coming through. I was really pleased at first but I gotta say, if you can't count on speakers lasting at least a year, what's the point?

I was very impressed with the quality of the sound from these speakers. I've always liked Bose equipment, but this pair for $100 and the amazing sound for that money is just unbeatable. You won't be disappointed.

BOSE set the midbass to be way too overpowering. Reducing the midbass and pushing the mids up really makes these very loud.

For the size of the speakers. Bose is known to put a little bit more loudness in theses speakers. My brother has the new wireless speakers and they are at least 2 times as loud. These speakers have a very smooth look. Goes with anything. If i were you i would wait for the series 3

If you're familiar with the phrase: No Highs? No Lows? It must be BOSE! Seriously though this is somewhat truth, the speakers are made badly since they have no high or low range of sound, heck even studio monitor headphones are better then these speakers, plus they are unsheilded and talk the talk, but cant walk the walk.

i got these as a gift from my uncle a while back and i cant believe what these speakers have for only a 2 channel set. There is so much base in these speakers it feels like a 2.1 channel set. and the quality for the price is unsurpassed. if ur looking for speakers in this price range look no further because you are not going to get anything better

Completely unshielded so if you have a cell phone and it gets within 20 feet of your speakers you get the most annoying series of beeps and burps. Also, the headphones jack sounds completely different from plugging into the headphone jack of the computer (even completely different from plugging into the speakers jack). It sounds like listening to music with cotton balls in your ears. Why put a jack there at all if it is going to sound terrible.

The actual output of the speaker (if your cell phone is far away), is a little bass heavy, but otherwise acceptable.

First Bose product I've owned. Came from some junk logitechs but i've had my share of good audio systems in my cars. The bass is a bit overwhelming at first but thanks to iTunes built in equalizer I reduced the bass and it sounds great now. Out of the box all speakers could use some tweaking, and these are no different. Wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

These speakers sound really nice, until your iPhone lapses into edge mode and then beeps, clicks and that digital noise that drives you crazy gets going. I even moved the phone across my office (15+ feet) and there was no relief from the digital noise.

My office is in an area where my iphone seems to hop from 3G to edge and back again regularly.

These speakers seem to have no shielding whatsoever. If you don't have an iPhone, I would say they are a great deal for the price. If you have an original iPhone or a 3g that has to work in edge sometimes, I would suggest avoiding these speakers.

I bought these to use with a new macbook. I am an avid fan of Bose and these speakers are true to the high quality of their product. I highly recommend these and would even buy them again if they were twice the price!
