Bose® Companion® 5 Multimedia Speaker System
The Bose® Companion® 5 multimedia speaker system is engineered to deliver the excitement of surround sound content right at your computer—without the clutter of five speakers. Just two small speakers and a hideaway Acoustimass® module deliver much of the audio performance you'd expect from a five-speaker surround sound system. And a single USB connection is all it takes—no special software, hardware or sound card upgrade necessary.
Now you can enjoy an enveloping sound experience without enveloping yourself in hardware. Proprietary TrueSpace® surround digital processing circuitry enables two elegant desktop speakers and a compact module to put you in the middle of the action. And the experience is developed especially for computer listening, so you're right in the middle of the music, the game, the special effects.

The Companion 5 system features a handy, all-in-one control pod to keep speaker volume control, single-touch mute, headphone jack and an auxiliary input all within easy reach. Speakers are mounted on stands enabling superb performance and more usable desktop space.

Good Desktop Speaker System
Sounds good and looks good. These are not a good option if you're planning on using Digital audio workstation (DAW) software as this system does not support WaveRT or ASIO when select there is no sound. Calling Bose the tech was not even aware of ASIO or WaveRT.

Bose Quality issues
I purchased a Lifestyle 25 system 6 months before the digital model came out. Sound reproduction like earlier models was superb. The new Bose Companion 5 Multimedia along with the Cinimate models do not have any of the robust crispness of the high end cycles & feature diminished reproduction of surround sound compared to the Lifestyle models. It will be hard to find a replacement without spending another $2000.00! Quality control specs on these should require that they last longer than 7 or 8 years.

great for a short time
I have purchased 2 sets of these and both times they played really awsome for about 1.5 years and both sets have died out on me after that. They are really awsome for the sound and money at first but it is VERY agrivating to have both set die on me in such a short time.

Wonderful Sound
This is my 2nd set of Bose Companion 5 speakers. I bought a set for work and enjoyed them so much I purchased a 2nd set for home use. The fidelity of sound is spectacular at both low and higher levels. I listen to a wide variety of music selections and appreciate good soud reporduction. Bose products are very expensively priced. The quality is top-shelf. If Bose ran a few more promotions I'd glady own more of their products.

Wow what sound !!!!!
I recieved the Bose speakers 2 days ago and I must have to admit. The sound is astonishing. I use my computer for an entire entertaining experience. With movies you can hear every little detail of the sound such as an old metal fan running in the background with all of the acters talking. I heard the sound and cranked em up to finally pinpoint the sound. Its like a game find Waldo however this is find the sound. The speakers were well made and my maching picked them up right away with no problems at all. I did have to do a complete new set up on my ventrillo as well as turning off all sound enhancements with the audio. I woule like to have seen a usb connect on the volume control hub vs the old plug for headsets.
