The Companion(R) 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(R) 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.
Desktop theater: Admit one
Five-speaker systems are great for your living room or home-theater room. Maybe not for the office, bedroom or dorm room, where your computer lives. Yet, without a way to fully appreciate those breathtaking 5.1 game and movie soundtracks, you're missing much of the fun.
Now you can enjoy an enveloping sound experience without enveloping yourself in hardware. Our proprietary TrueSpace(R) surround digital processing circuitry enables two elegant desktop speakers and a compact module to put you in the middle of the action.
The soundstage seems to envelop you. And the experience is developed especially for computer listening, so your computer is right in the middle of the music, the game, the special effects.
Enjoy Bose convenience
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.

"I use the Bose Companion 5.5 with my desktop computer. I have an external drive that has over 60,000 songs. I use iTunes and a mix of VBRs and a mix of format. Many of these songs, (I would guess around 80%) when played, you will discover are have been rendered more crisp, and more importantly, spacial. The most remarkable feat is that I hear so much more within the songs than before. I hear the chorus separated..." Read Full Review »

"I haven't read any review before buying this speaker. I bought it after listened the demo at Bose store and Bestbuy store. When I first plugged it in, and tried itune to hear some music, I loved it. Quality sound was so good. Deep and nice. Perfect. I turned on the video, and I felt bad right away. It added noise and static sound in addition to the movie sound. (I try both Transformer and Tokyo Drift). I tried a..." Read Full Review »

"I got these speakers when I moved because I didn't want to pack/wanted to upgrade from my companion 3's.
