The new Companion(R) 2 Series II multimedia speaker system offers improved audio performance, providing a significant upgrade over most original equipment computer speakers. Now with an elegant new design that reflects their Bose(R) heritage, they look as good as they sound. Bose proprietary TrueSpace(R) stereo signal processing circuitry widens the sound field, giving you a richer, more dramatic audio experience - whether you`re listening to music, watching a movie or playing a game. The speakers are engineered to deliver pinpoint clarity, while the ported enclosure provides deep, clear low musical tones and special effects. Be prepared for newfound richness and depth from your favorite MP3, CD and streaming Internet audio. More punch and presence from computer games and DVDs. More overall enjoyment from your computer. And more convenience: Volume control and headphone jack are located on one speaker, along with a second set of inputs, so you can use Companion 2 speakers for your portable MP3 or CD player. Want to hear more of what your computer has to offer? Move up to the Bose Companion 2 multimedia speaker system, and discover the sound you`ve been missing from your desktop or laptop.

Bose(R) proprietary TrueSpace(R) stereo signal processing circuitry enhances the listening experience by widening the soundstage, so music, movies and effects seem to come from an area much wider than the space between the two small speakers.
Patented integrated signal processing automatically adjusts tonal balance for deep, rich performance at practically any listening level.
Innovative system design: Amplifier and speakers are designed and equalized as an integrated system for powerful sound reproduction and high-quality performance.

Why Spend So Much More, For So Much Less

"I began using Companion Speakers over 7 years ago. I'm now on my third pair, not because of problems, but because I love to stay current with Bose products. Also, these Companions are so inexpensive, it's easy to keep up! I sold both other pairs and they're still working and my friends still love them. The bass is an intense, chest-thumping low at any volume. The treble is crisp and bright allowing you to hear ..." Read Full Review »

BOSE LOSE .$20.00 worth of Sound.

"Post card version: I went and bought a 2nd pair of these at [...] , to see if the 1st ones were defective. AND they both sounded like something from the 70's. Muddy,Dull,Bass rattle. This is after I went and bought another Battery back-up surge protector, and a program to install and upgrade drivers, registry and etc. I fixed the problem by taking back both pairs, and purchasing a pair of CREATIVE SPEAKERS M40's..."
