I usually read and watch a lot of reviews before buying anything… I was about halfway the video and thought “this is a great review”, then I saw the channel name… and it’s sold, I’m getting this speakers right now. Great channel!!
I wish they had a small "on" light and a clearer marker dot on the volume control. Otherwise nice sounding computer speakers with a fairly large image producing capability for it's size.
Great review, great name! I’ll be picking these up tomorrow, thank you for all the info. You’re very talented in being concise and doing it with your personality, keep up the awesome work!!
I have a pair I've owned for 2 years. Moved from a much larger (and more expensive) speaker setup on my pc to cut down on desk clutter. Generally happy with them. Very spacious and sound good with what I do. Have a pair of Creative Pebble 2.0 hooked up to my pc at work and the Bose are considerably better then something like the Pebbles. Should be considering the extra cost but I think people looking for smaller cheap computer speakers are likely to be considering something like the Bose or Pebbles.
First of all Great video and thanks for the tips. I just bought them and after weeks of searching and comparing products but your video made me order them ( could always send them back) Now i want to share that this speakerset is amazing on so many levels and that for just 99 euros. This must be the best option for thge price range of 80-130 euros.
Only thing I've had that can beat these since the price seems to be 149.99 now are my Logitech Z623 THX. Did me amazingly for the better part of a decade through plenty of dorm get-togethers in college, and they continue to perform for me today. Considering buying a second set for when these eventually crap out considering the technology hasn't seemed to outdate their value over almost 10 years, surprisingly.
I have 'Series II' version of these that I bought about 7 or 8 years ago I guess. I've never had any problems with them and the sound is very balanced and refined for such a compact and inexpensive speaker. As the Boomer Consumer mentioned they have adequate bass but won't fulfill your extreme bass lust if that is something you crave. Older listeners or younger ones interested jazz, fusion, blues, classic and progressive rock will probably feel perfectly contented with these little guys. Having mentioned I have the Series II version of these speakers I'd really be interested in hearing the series III version in a real world situation. I may have to spring for a pair and check them out! Thanks BC - subscribed.
The Bose companion 20's sound 100 times better than these. The sound pad is messing up on my 20's but I still returned these speakers because the 20's still sound so much better.
Why does this speaker set NOT have a bass adjustment dial? For the price they ask, they SHOULD have one. That's why I don't like Bose. Overpriced with mediocre performance. It's too boomy and the bass makes it difficult to watch movies on my computer. I stopped using it and watch movies on my TV because of that.
These computer speakers are pretty sweet, I actually picked mine up from a garage sale for 2$, almost brand new, barely even used, and they were quite dusty until I cleaned them, apparently they used to belong to the old dude’s grandson and he bought them for his gaming PC, for his birthday around a year ago, kid barely even used them, and he forgot about them, so he was just like “Eh, just take it for 2$, I’m just trying to get rid of junk around the garage.” So I did, no power cord but I had one that worked just fine on them, I scored luckily on these powerful computer speakers for sure!
I am using them in the exact same setup (PC + Echo Dot). The AUX Input and the compact size are the reason I got them - for this money I am definitely happy about the purchase. They can play from both inputs at the same time which is super comfortable for Alexa
Love your reviews! 🔥Curious, size aside, would you recommend these over the Micca PB42X for desktop use? Looking for more dialogue/vocal clarity than bass. Thanks so much!
I have a new set and never knew they existed until I was looking around online. Seems like to get somewhat "bigger" sound it has to be the right recording, many youtube music videos just don't have what it takes. Also as you say, from a distance away they fall short volume wise, but then, look at the power supply, what can truly be expected from it? If I'm not mistaken 12V 1.35A is low power. Admittedly though, I'm miles from being expert. I think I'm happy with mine *IF* I get many years of trouble free use. Anything less and I would have been better off with a louder 2.1 system at 1/2 to 3/4 the price.
I bought these for 59.99 i think like 4 years ago, they’re pretty washed out sounding now but they’re great for people who a) have never used nicer speakers like klipsh, polk, etc, or b) people who want a pretty good price to performance ratio, dont mind extra bass and washed out mids but still very nice V shaped soundstage if your in to that. For retail/99$ : 3/5 (Rn if your looking at these, look into some nicer speakers if you have the money, because they start to really stand out starting at the 150$ mark or so. For anything under 70$ : i’d pull the trigger 4/5
Why..?? They are good for saving space, the audio quality is good for most music but not all music. They fill a larger room with music without having to be near the speakers. Simple installation with computer, phone’s or tablet’s. Convenient headphone Jack.
I gave my Vanatoo T0, which is considered to be one of the best small size bookshelf speakers to my brother and cost 4x this and now I'm using this lol (which was his and I took it as my main computer now doesn't have a speaker. Sounds good for youtube and working out though, although I must admit it looks kind of ugly on my 4k usd gaming PC. I made a massive upgrade to my audio setup to a KEF LS50 meta as the whole thing cost me above 4 grand but it's so big that I am now using it as an audio system instead of a computer speaker system.
There's really not much to improve other than connection choices that would do nothing to improve the sound. In fact, things like bluetooth will make the sound actually worse.
I own these and wouldn't recommend them. They cannot be turned off. They're not the worst speakers, however, you can do better for the money. I bought klipsch 2.1 Pro media for the same price which also cannot be turned off but their sound is much more full spectrum than the Bose.
I really dont care about base I only care about voice and music. Which product is good for crestal clear natural voice and instrument that will give me goosebumps? budget was 100$ but can increase to 200$
I've used these speakers for years, still have them today and unfortunately I can NOT recommend them, at all! Here's why! • These things are OLD. They released all the way back in 2013. And while some audio products can age quite well, these clearly do not, for reference I bought them used for 45€ (48$) in 2018, that's 50€ (53$) today adjusted for inflation. For that price that's a actually a good deal. But this is leading me to my next point • They are getting MORE EXPENSIVE OVER TIME. Back when I bought them, they retailed around 80-90 bucks. Bose's Website listed them at 89.99 But that was 4 years ago, now they retail for over 100 bucks and buying them directly at Bose will set you back at a whopping 149.95!!! That's a price increase of almost 70% in the last 4 years. Way beyond inflation based price adjustment, these things are just unacceptable for that money. • The predecessors are better I bought these because of how Impressed I was with the Companion 2 Series II, they had really bright highs, clear mids and an expressed yet clear bass. Something that the Series III lack of. • No Woofer. There's no reason to get these if they do not have a subwoofer at this price point. Which makes their sound signature feel incomplete. For over 100 bucks you can easily get a decent 2.1 system that has a woofer. If you do not have space for a woofer, there are much more sophisticated stereo options too, comparisons between those and the series III can be found all over TH-cam. So yeah, unless you get them used for under let's say 60 bucks, they're definitely not worth it. The fact that Bose is raising the price as this product ages is audacious.
What I want to know is, how tuff are these things It’s get pretty crazy over here sometimes with the boys If these go flying off the desk will they take the fall How solid is the connection Thanks
I’ve got 3 sets of these put around my room and a subwoofer. I am really satisfied with the sound but am curious if you or somebody reading this would recommend me another setup and if so what speakers. Combining 2 sets one in front of your room and one in the back is a tip if youve got these.
@@MrBalas3 All I´ve got is a splitter for the aux out of my computer and then got seperate aux cables going to the speakers and subwoofer. I got my subwoofer secondhand and its great, but you will need one that can connect with an aux cable.
@@nicoswart2002 Interesting how that works if one can do that with there subwoofer. I actually like my Logitech x-530 speakers, but can’t get them all to work with my ports on the back. The jacks are orange, green, and black for subwoofer and fronts, rear, and center. Problem is my Dell Optiplex 9010 only has 1 audio jack in back and another showing microphone/amplifier and in front headphone and microphone jacks. Depending on which speakers I want to hear from I plug them into audio jack in back, but can’t get all of them to work 😕.
I bought a pair of these just one month ago to go with my new desktop and I was very disappointed. I found the GigaWorks T20 Series II from Creative have much better sound with a fuller range and way better bass. I really wanted the Bose to work for me. After I had the Bose hooked up, I felt they were missing rich deep bass so I bought the T20 Series II and did a side by side test. The Creative speakers sounded way better with better highs, bass and fidelity. Also, the T20 Series cost less. With the Bose, your just buying the NAME.
Thanks you sir! We're bidding on a used pair on ebay and were wondering....rather than plugging in headphones into the front right speaker, can we plug in a pair of pc speakers? Giving us four speakers rather than two? Or, would this adversly affect the sound from the Bose? Or, would there be a power issue? Hope you can help; thanks again for the review.
Can anyone compare the sound of these to the JBL Quantum Duo? Considering between the two since the Bose ones come at a lower and more affordable price point. Really tempted by the JBL ones though ofc, but its quite out of my budget
Hi Boomer, I like your name. I’m glad I found your channel, I bought a pair of these on bose. for IQM a boomer. LOL. cyber Monday. Looking forward to receiving them.
I've had these for about 3 years in my home office. They are OK for the $100 I paid. But just OK, nothing more. Don't expect much bass out of these. Wish I knew how to add a subwoofer to them. I bought the Logitech Z623 400 watt system for $169 for my shop computer and it flat out kicks ass. Worth every penny. Might do the same thing for my office and retire these little Bose fellas.
I just bought these speakers to use with my Acer desktop computer. I hooked them up and when the AUX cable is plugged all the way in I'm getting a ton of feedback and very low volume from the actual audio of whatever I'm listening to. When I plug the AUX cable into the speakers about "way way" I'm getting perfectly clear sound without any feedback. Is this normal, or is my AUX cable or speakers faulty?
$10 cheaper are the JBL Professional 1 Series, 104 if you are looking for smaller studio monitors! The Bose has a different sound signature and you mentioned your studio monitors are too big so the JBL might be a good fit for you!
Power supply output is 12V 1.35A but the speaker says "input 12V 1.8A" . Using a calc that figures 16.2W output from supply going to a maximum of 21.6W at speaker input. That is at the right speaker so the power would be split between the pair. Supply limits would suggest 8.1W per speaker. Someday I may try a bigger supply just to see what happens but I'm going to get some use from them first.
I purchased them to see how well they preform..Seriously you are only paying for the name brand! They sound like they have socks over top of them, muffled and pretty crappy sound for 99 dollars? I might spend 20 dollars on a pair. Iwent back with my logitech speakers crisp vibrant loud system for only 119 dollars! Digitech Z623 preforms 50 x better than these Bose!
I have used these speakers for around 5 years. I absolutely love them. I recently decided to check and see what was new in the PC speaker atmosphere and if there was any new competition. After about 2 hours of watching reviews for different speakers, I have come to the conclusion, there are no speakers at this price range that even come close. The Edifier G2000's were the closest thing I saw but not even those are as good as the Bose Companions. Just for a reference to people. TH-cam compresses audio. Even in this review, the audio does not do these speakers justice. These speakers have amazing bass quality for their size. If I get up and go get a drink or go to the bathroom on the other side of the house I can actually hear the bass in the walls depending on how loud i have it. Even better than the bass is the sound quality. You do definitely get the sound that most people expect out of a Bose product.
I really dont care about base I only care about voice and music. Which product is good for crestal clear natural life like voice and instrument that will give me goosebumps? budget was 100$ but can increase to 200$
@@ExpertBustice The Logitech Z623 system for $169 is what you seek. Quite impressive for under 200 bucks. I have these Bose speakers and the Logitech Z623's. Apples and oranges.

awful for gaming obviously, you should be using a nice headset with surround sound.

I might spend 20 dollars on a pair. Iwent back with my logitech speakers crisp vibrant loud system for only 119 dollars! Digitech Z623 preforms 50 x better than these Bose!
Its does bluetooth connectivity?
No
speakers bose series
THANKS BOOMER : )
WHAT IS (RMS) RATED POWER OF THOSE SPEAKERS, WHY IS THAT PIECE OF DATA HIDDEN/NOWHERE TO BE FOUND???
Ok boomer
Wayne Popi Love it
They don't sound any better than the speakers I'm using now.
Wow thank you for your input. This can help everyone else not hearing your speakers
great review mr boomer
If I need speakers, how am I supposed to watch this review? Do I have to think of everything?
Logitech z625 is better than these bose speakers.
They are however around 50% more expensive (in Germany at least)
@@bobsley9151 Because they have a subwoofer included. Quality spoken, the Bose one is still better.
The boomer consoomer would be better
lol
Coomer consoomer
Boomer bro, those sound like tin cans
BOSE is a german brand and the E at the end has to be pronounced as well...
Bose was founded in the US by Anand Bose an Indian.
Lol I was sure it’s a German brand, thanks for the clarification, I’m kinda shocked.
Im use this speaker 7 years and has no problem still sounds and looks like new Im love it.
Can you use a sub woofer with these?
No
@Matt without hot wiring ?
I have used these speakers for around 5 years. I absolutely love them. I recently decided to check and see what was new in the PC speaker atmosphere and if there was any new competition. After about 2 hours of watching reviews for different speakers, I have come to the conclusion, there are no speakers at this price range that even come close. The Edifier G2000's were the closest thing I saw but not even those are as good as the Bose Companions. Just for a reference to people. TH-cam compresses audio. Even in this review, the audio does not do these speakers justice. These speakers have amazing bass quality for their size. If I get up and go get a drink or go to the bathroom on the other side of the house I can actually hear the bass in the walls depending on how loud i have it. Even better than the bass is the sound quality. You do definitely get the sound that most people expect out of a Bose product.
@@pickleeggs3340 no...just stating the truth. What's the point of your question? To troll?
I really dont care about base I only care about voice and music. Which product is good for crestal clear natural life like voice and instrument that will give me goosebumps? budget was 100$ but can increase to 200$
@@whocares3132 I'm in the same boat, did you ever find anything?
@@ExpertBustice The Logitech Z623 system for $169 is what you seek. Quite impressive for under 200 bucks. I have these Bose speakers and the Logitech Z623's. Apples and oranges.
