Our take on the Bose® Companion® 3 Series II multimedia speaker system

by Tara W.

Enjoy premium stereo sound from your computer with the Bose Companion® 3 Series II multimedia speaker system. This 3-piece speaker system produces clean, spacious audio with deep, rich bass that draws you into your music and game soundtracks. The included stands angle the compact left and right speakers slightly upward for optimal listening, and the separate Acoustimass® module slips neatly under your desk.

Expansive sound from a discreet system
The key to the Companion® 3 system's wide-open sound is Bose's TrueSpace™ signal processing circuitry — it creates a broad soundstage from slim speakers spaced no further apart than the width of your computer monitor. The small satellites handle the upper frequencies, while the Acoustimass® module adds impressive lows. Together they give you warm, lifelike sound that most conventional computer speakers simply can't match.

Control at your fingertips
The Companion® 3 system also includes an easy-to-use control pod. It houses the volume control as well as a headphone jack and an auxiliary input for an iPod® or other MP3 player. The separate control pod means you can place the speakers out of the way and still have easy access to the system's volume control and connections for additional gear.

Highlights:

  • desktop speaker stands
  • video-shielded satellite speakers
  • tethered control pod contains:
    • auxiliary minijack input
    • headphone minijack
    • volume controls
  • Bose TrueSpace™ stereo signal processing circuitry
  • removable satellite speaker stands included
  • AC power cord
  • audio input cable included
  • speaker wire included
  • satellite speakers (on stands): 3-3/8"W x 6"H x 3-1/4"D
  • Acoustimass® module: 7-1/8"W x 8-5/8"H x 14"D
  • warranty: 1 year
  • Our 60-day money-back guarantee

    Control Pod: The multi-function pod houses volume control, headphone jack and connection for a second audio source such as an MP3 player.

    Active Equalization: The active equalization electronically tunes the frequency response, enabling outstanding audio performance for improved speech intelligibility.

    This Bose Companion 3 Series is replacing my Bose that stopped working. This one has really been improved upon...better balanced sound. Smooooth. And, the base is not dominant like the older Bose. It, too, is balanced. It's great!

    Another good product from Bose

    Written By RT, Seattle, WA on Friday, February 04, 2011
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    When used as intended (on a desk in front of you while seated at a computer) there is
    nothing better.
    The imaging and sound stage created by the satellite speakers is fantastic,
    put that together with a sub that's not booming or muddy and the result is great audio
    sound from a computer.
    Also, the volume knob is a neat design, allowing the volume to be changed
    quickly without having to look at it.
    I would recommend this system to anyone.

    What I love most about Bose Companion 3 is that it so small and yet gives the
    best quality sound. It comes with a control pod that lets you adjust the volume
    easily. This speaker system has exceeded my expectations, it's more than worth
    the price.

    I was reluctant on purchasing Bose, but Crutchfield advisor told me I wouldn't be
    dissappointed. He was so right!! After properly installing and hitting mine and my boy's
    music on iTunes....we couldnt believe our ears!! Deep "beats" from rap...so astounding!
    Absolutely quality sound from rich the deep bass to the crisp response that I want to
    hear from music. A truly fine set of computer speakers.

    Fantastic Sound Well Worth the Price

    Written By Baltic22, Fairchester, CT on Monday, March 29, 2010
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    I got the Companion 2 but they were too 'tinny' and 'vibey' at the upper ranges of the
    volume so I got Companion 3 instead. These are incredible speakers, the sound is
    clear at all volume ranges and the bass is superbe. I have taken them to maximum
    speaker settings on my PC and maximum volume and there is no distortion at all. And
    they are as loud as you could want. I really can't believe the quality and depth of sound
    they have packaged into these speakers. They are well worth the price. The only
    caveats, as others have noted, are a) you have to be careful with the nine-pin control pod
    cable connector, make sure you have it positioned correctly and don't force it in and b)
    the main on/off switch is on the back and at the bottom of the Acoustimass module so
    be sure to leave enough space so that you can readily reach in and down and turn it off.

    money well spent

    Written By Kirby, Ft Campbell ,KY on Sunday, May 31, 2009
     
    I purchased the system about 3 mounths ago and let me say wow. the sound is awsome. I listen to all kinds of music and the system performs very well. the reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the volume control knob that plug into the back of the acoustmass module. the prongs inside the plug are very sensetive and easy to bend so you have to be careful when pluging and un pluging ihe knob. other than that if you like good sound in a compact unit i would recomend this unit. i wish bose would make car audio speakers and im not talking about the ones that come from the factory in some cars and trucks.

    Very good, but not perfect

    Written By Locke, Central Washington on Saturday, April 11, 2009
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    Both the sound and the appearance of this unit receive a 5-star rating from me; however, there is one negative point, and that's why I gave the system a 4-star rating.

    The only way to turn the system on and off is to reach behind it and feel around until you find a tiny rocker switch. Since I keep the unit under my computer desk, that means I have to get down on my hands and knees in order to power it on or off. Not good.

    The only alternative is to leave the power turned on all the time, which is decidedly not "green," in terms of unnecessary power usage. There are enough electrical "vampires" in our homes already, and Bose should deal with that situation by placing the on-off switch on the volume control/mute attachment.

    Great choice

    Written By Alan, Atlanta, GA on Sunday, January 25, 2009
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    This isn't home theater quality sound, but it's very good. Bought these for our kitchen machine, which is where the kids keep their iPod accounts, and so it had become the primary place we listen to music while cooking, hanging out. Now we have very pleasing sound, in very small (almost elegant?) speakers. The sub-woofer actually works, and works well. I was afraid it would be boomy, but the base is pretty tight. Biggest unexpected bonus is the "hockey-puck" sound and mute control. Very slick, very easy to use, and it's nice to be able to just touch the center of it for instant mute when the phone rings, rather than fiddling with a volume knob or trying to quickly mute via the PC application.

    Shakes My Room, Clear, Worth Every Penny.

    Written By Steve, Bronx, NY on Tuesday, December 16, 2008
     
    I have these speakers for a few weeks and I love every moment I use it. The Sound is so Clear even when I use on low quality Videos on Youtube. When I turn up the Volume its so loud and still has great crystal clear sound. Great bass sound as well. Its expensive for a 2.1 computer speakers but worth every the cent. Another Great product from Bose.

    Excellent Build Quality as expected from Bose. I have owned many different configurations and brands of computer speakers and consider these audiofile quality for your computer system. Pricey, but worth the price in my opinion. Do not be dis-appointed and spend half as much on a set half as good.
