About this item

Because of this, I had my 5. It enveloped me in the most amazing aural arena I've ever experienced. That means I went back to the stone-age days of computing sound, using the tinny built in speakers on my iMac now MacBook Pro. For a while, I was satisfied with this, as I didn't do a lot of music listening or gaming on my Mac. However, now that I'm freelancing, that doesn't cut it.

I've gone through three sets of speakers before finally settling on the excellent, but pricey, Bose Companion 2 Series II speakers.

For my purposes, these speakers hit a sweet spot. Too many 'computer' speaker sets especially those with subwoofers included tend to crank up the bass and muddy up the vocal range, likely because they're targeting shoot-em-up gamers who like explosions. However, I find myself listening to classical, rock, alternative, country, jazz, etc.

These speakers seem to be made for jazz, though they are a bit flat on the highest notes think a double-C from a trumpet. They can be heard from a room or two away if I need to turn up the volume, and they do fill a medium sized room very well. For a small gaming setup, or a small room, I'd even consider them over a stereo system.

One of the biggest problems with any 'computer' speaker set I've used is that, somewhere in the system, adequate shielding and sound signal isolation is not supplied, and the resulting hums, buzzes, and hisses are like daggers in my ear.

Especially considering I'm living within one mile of four radio towers I could clearly receive one of the FM stations through one set of Altec Lansings I tried, even when it was turned down all the way. These speakers exhibit absolutely zero interference, though there is a slight hiss that won't go away, no matter where I plug them in some outlets are better than others.

It's enough that I'll turn off the speakers if I won't be using them for a while, but nowhere near as bad as any other speaker set I tried before these. Setting up the speakers is pretty simple. Back of the right speaker. The only downside is that the left speaker's cable is hard-wired into the speaker, making it a tad bit more difficult to extend the distance between the speakers.

But it was long enough to run from one side of my desk to the other, behind the desk. The volume knob is easy enough to use, and gives a good range of volume from don't disturb the napping baby, to wake up the upstairs neighbors , and the headphone jack offers a convenient way to bypass the speakers without unplugging them from your sound source.

They drive my large Audio Technica cans pretty well, but don't do much as a headphone preamp. The major downside to these speakers is the price.

That's pushing the range I'm willing to pay for a secondary set of speakers my mains being the lbs-worth of speakers in my home theater setup. But I'm okay with that, because the other top-tier speaker manufacturers do the same, at least for their good sets of speakers. I'm thinking of you, Klipsch and JBL! I'm happy with the speakers. Any idea how to extend the left speaker cable? I tried to use a 3. That would be the only way I could think of doing it.

I really wish Bose would've let that entire cable be replaceable. If nothing else, you could split and splice the cable to extend it, but I'd only do that if you're pretty good at soldering. Also, the quality of the extension cable matters - if it's too thick, that can reduce the power to the left; if it's too thin, that'll do the same.

Just had the problem with the hard-wired cord between speakers. My setup required a longer cord. Bose actually sells a 6' extension cable for this very thing, allowing the speakers to be further apart than the enclosed hard-wired cord. Really helpful that they have this.

I'm using the Bose with both an older iPod or a Toshiba Laptop as needed, either way the sound seems acceptable In the end "Durability" beyond the expected Bose quality may make them worth their cost I use them to stream music from my desktop PC. They also look great and nothing like their cheap plastic predecessors. I would gladly recommend them. Bought these to replace older speakers with subwoofer that sat on floor. The issue with the old ones was the separate volume control that kept getting beat up by my granddaughter knocked off the table.
