Think of all the sound that comes from your computer today: MP3s, CDs and Internet radio. DVDs and streaming video. Sensational gaming soundtracks. Wouldn`t it be nice if your listening experience measured up to your choices? Until now, computer listening has largely meant uninspiring sound, desktop clutter and inconvenience. The new Bose(R) Companion(R) 3 multimedia speaker system ushers in a new era of sound enjoyment from your computer. Stylish, tiny satellite speakers deliver brilliant, clean sound from musical instruments and vocals. An elegant new speaker design reflects their Bose heritage, while the very compact Acoustimass(R) module sits unnoticed on the floor, providing essential punch for deep, resonant musical tones and breathtaking movie and gaming special effects. Bose proprietary TrueSpace(R) stereo signal processing circuitry adds spaciousness to the sound, making it more dramatic and lifelike than most conventional computer speakers. For welcome convenience: speaker volume control, mute function, headphone jack and auxiliary input are all included in a single control pod about the size of a computer mouse. If you find your computer is fast becoming an entertainment hub, upgrade to Companion(R) 3 multimedia speakers. And finally hear music, movies and sound effects the way they were meant to be heard.

Great 2.1 system with full, rich sound

"The Bose Companion 3 Series II Multimedia Speaker System is great for a general use computer system where you want excellent stereo music with rich full sound. I had purchased the Companion 5 System for my main system, which includes simulated 5.1 surround - great for movies and games, as well as music. On this secondary system I didn't need the surround, but I am still impressed at how full sounding the Compa..." Read Full Review »

"I bought these speakers almost a year ago. Mainly for World of Warcraft gameplay. The system delivers for gaming and I was very happy with the system. After about 3 months, one of the speakers kept going out. I fixed this by jiggling the wires on the back of the sub. This is when the problems began . After about 7 months of gaming and all that, i noticed that with all the jiggling of the wires, it was getting mo..." Read Full Review »

"I use the product on my home TV instead of bothering with a stereo / surround sound. I plan on connecting it to my Windows Media Center PC, and the 1/8" jacks make that very simple.



The construction and build quality is top notch--very impressive. The tiny speakers are great--well made, heavy s …"  Read Full Review »

"It's hard to believe what a 2.1 system is capable of. I have owned other 2.1 systems by Klipsh and JBL, and I have to say that they all have their shining points, but the Bose, seems to be the most well-rounded. The satellites produce a very fine, clear and crisp sound quality and the subwoofer prod …"  Read Full Review »
