Bose Companion 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System

Reviewed By Our Editors

The Bose Companion 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System gives new meaning to the words “computer entertainment.” This speaker can produce crisp and clear sound quality that is impressive for a computer multimedia speaker. Enjoy the life-like audio of your music and video streaming or computer gaming with this smartly-designed piece of art.

This three-piece speaker system includes two desktop multimedia satellite speakers with removable stands and the Acoustimass module. When these three work together, your ears will be in festive mode everytime because of the stunning quality of audio that they produce.

Most of us, if not all, use our desktop computers and laptops for all sorts of multimedia applications. You can watch movies on your computer. You can even play music or play video games. Of course, you can’t hear these things without decent speakers. Luckily for you, decent is an understatement if you’re going to describe the Bose Companion 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System.

The great sound is produced by the three speakers working together as one. The small speakers produce crisp highs for lifelike vocals and instruments. While the compact Acoustimass module handles lower notes and effects with resounding depth and fullness. Another cool thing about the Acoustimass is you can easily hide it under your desk.

Notice how, in some speakers, the quality of the audio alters as you increase its volume. You don’t have to worry about that happening if you use the Bose Companion 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System. It has the patented integrated signal processing technology which lets you enjoy realistic, stunning performance at any volume level!

Control the music from across the room. The aesthetically appealing control pod is an Intuitive and convenient device. The convenience does not stop there. This speaker even has dual inputs so you can enjoy two audio sources simultaneously—one to your computer, the other to a portable audio device. Yes, since the Bose Companion 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System has a 3.5 mm jack port as input, you can even play your MP3 players on this speaker through its aesthetically appealing control pod.

Great sound and high convenience – that’s what Bose Companion 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System provides its users. The crisp and clear sound quality is impressive, and the smart design is astonishing as well.

Bose 3 series 2 speakers

They sound great in games and when playing music. Took me awhile to figure out which port they wanted to use on the back of the computer. It ended up being the green audio out on the motherboard. Make sure it is pushed all the way in or they won't work. Also if you see a yellow light in the middle of the control pod it is on MUTE, it will default to this when you turn off the computer, to make it green (loud) touch the control pod in the middle. (Its a hypersensitive touch pad.) My only thing to complain about is that the base it takes some adjustment to find the right setting, or its thunk thunk thunk. For me I find its real low setting is best.
