Our take on the Bose® Computer MusicMonitor®

by Tara W.

Stylish and super-compact, the Bose® Computer MusicMonitor® speakers continue the company's tradition of creating high-quality sound from gear that can fit into small spaces. Enjoy high-impact sound from your computer or laptop with this compact system, or connect it to your iPod® or iPad® to bring movies, music, and even Angry Birds™ sound effects to life.

The two-speaker system employs proprietary Bose technology to produce a wide, clear soundstage from very small speakers. You'll hear crisp, accurate highs and mids, and rich bass, and you'll still have plenty of desktop space for working.

Setup is extremely simple, too — one proprietary cable connects the speakers to each other, another connects to your source, and the AC power cord plugs into a wall outlet. Use buttons on the side of one speaker or the included remote to adjust volume.

From the review Bose Computer MusicMonitor speakers

"The speakers are so small that they'd be great for a portable-but-high-quality music system. I'd travel with them because the speakers would be easy to pack in a bag or suitcase, and they'd be perfect to set up in a hotel room with my laptop or iPad®. I'd even be tempted to connect them to the TV in the hotel room for better sound playback there, too."

— Tara, Crutchfield Video Production Manager

Features

Overview: The Bose Computer MusicMonitor powered speakers utilize proprietary technologies to deliver surprisingly full-range sound with a wide sound stage for such small speakers. The system's understated, space-saving design fits nicely almost anywhere in your home. The Bose Computer MusicMonitor is ideal as a laptop, PC, and portable audio powered speaker. The elegant brushed aluminum enclosures complement almost any workspace. In addition to the volume and power controls located on the right speaker, the Bose Computer MusicMonitor comes with an IR remote control for added convenience. The Bose Computer MusicMonitor powered speakers is a two-piece solution offering exceptional performance, simplicity, and value for your desktop listening area.

Elegant Compact Design: The Bose Computer MusicMonitor powered speakers are extremely compact and help to free up your valuable desktop space. Each speaker enclosure features either a brushed aluminum or black finish.

Bose Proprietary Technologies: The unexpected full-range range sound generated from this compact two-piece powered speaker system is the result of Bose amplifier technology, proprietary acoustic design, highly efficient neodymium speakers, and Bose digital signal processing. The Bose Computer MusicMonitor powered speaker system lets you enjoy the fullness and detail you may have been missing from your favorite downloads and Internet radio.

  • Bose Amplifiers: Proprietary amplifiers are smaller, lighter and more efficient than traditional linear amplifiers to help keep speakers small yet powerful.
  • Bose DSP: Active electronic equalization balances low, mid, and high frequencies for more natural tone and clarity.
  • Proprietary Acoustic Design: Proprietary acoustic design features dual internal opposing passive radiators for unusually deep, powerful low tones from a very small multimedia speaker system.
  • Highly Efficient Neodymium Speakers: High output from small speakers featuring thin but powerful neodymium transducers with 10x the magnetic energy density of conventional speaker magnets.

Power & Volume Controls: The Bose Computer MusicMonitor powered speaker system features power and volume control on the right speaker. An IR remote control is also provided for wireless operation of the system's power & volume functions.

One Cable Connection: The Bose Computer MusicMonitor requires only one cable connection between the powered speaker system and your computer or other audio source. The right speaker features a 3.5mm audio input and includes a 6' stereo audio minijack cable to connect to your computer or other audio source.

Note: The left speaker features an attached 6' audio cable with a proprietary connector which plugs into the rear-panel proprietary port on back of the rear speaker (labeled "To Left Speaker").

Magnetically Shielded: The Bose Computer MusicMonitor powered speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent monitor interference or damage.

Placement: The size and shape of the speakers make it easy to position them directly next to your computer. For proper performance, place the right speaker to the right and the left speaker to the left of your computer. Make sure there is equal distance on either size. The speaker should be placed no more than 18'' to 36" apart. This will provide an accurate sound stage.

AC Power Supply: The Bose Computer MusicMonitor power speaker system operates off of standard household AC current using the supplied AC power adapter and AC cord. The AC power adapter plugs into the back of the right speaker.

  • Input: 100-20V ~ 50/60Hz, 1A
  • Output: 17V - 2A

Bose Computer Music Monitor

Written By Rob P, Moyie Springs, ID on Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Overall, for its size, this is a pretty good compact system, for utilizing digital music files from a computer, ( I've pared mine with a MacBook Pro 13" laptop ). There are other computer music monitor speakers , some the same size, a few smaller, and a few a little larger, but none seem to approach the sound quality that these Bose nits have as their own unique capability. Altho they do seem to lack a little base, what can one expect, form such small speakers, without a dedicated separate powered subwoofer?
Pros:
Match the finish of the MacBook pro series laptop computers as if they were made to pair with them. Best sounding speakers of their relative size. So, small they could be hauled along with your laptop!
Cons:
Not as much bass as a separate powered subwoofer, but better than anyone else's small computer speakers, by far!

Fantastic Sound

Written By CG, Baltimore, MD on Monday, October 22, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Is it FIOS. WOW. I have been visiting Crutchfield site and I kept putting off buying these computer speakers. I have a very tight budget, but I decided to treat myself to a early birthday gift. I was so amaze with the clarity and loundness of these speakers. I am not going to waste your time amy further. If you have terrible sound like me when you are listening to your music from your computer I suggest to you to go for it. Again the sound is superb.
Pros:
Setup was very easy.
Cons:
I wish it was battery operated but I'm fine with the way these speakers were made.

Awesome!!

Written By SEG, Richmond, vA on Tuesday, July 31, 2012
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
Incredible...exactly what I was looking for. I was in need of some speakers to connect to my new laptop. I tried the Bose Companion 2--thought the sound had too much bass. Moved to the Companion 20s--they sounded great, but were way too large for the space I had. Finally purchased the MusicMonitors from Crutchfield and they fit and sound perfect.

They are small enough that I can take them on trips to listen to music or watch movies. If you are on the fence regarding these speakers. Don't be.

4.75 out of 5

Written By Eric, Fort Campbell, KY on Monday, December 05, 2011
 
I bought these about a year and a half ago, I had high hopes for them as they were a bit pricey ($399 at that time). I was surprised by the build qualty, they're heavier than they look. The sound quality is outstanding for their size. The sound is a lot like the Bose SoundDock with a bit more refinement. They're great, however, there are a couple minor things to keep in mind. First, the auxilary cord is silver plated, for the price you would expect at least a gold plated quality cable. Second, there's no tonal controls on the remote, just volume, but that's not a bad thing as they dont really need any fine tuning.
Pros:
Great Bose product, high quality, big sound for their size.
Cons:
The price. Although the new price seems to be more fair.
