Great Speakers
I bought these to replace a 12 year old pair of Sony's that were given to me and there is an immediate difference. I could not believe how good my CD's sound and I'm pleasantly pleased that I can connect my iPod directly into the volume control. This is great if you don't feel like firing up the PC.
Pros:
- Incredible clarity and sound
Cons:
- None

5 High-quality PC speaker sets
While there isn't a huge selection of high-end PC speaker sets, there are some options out there if you're a music lover and want quality sound on your PC or laptop. We tested products by a newcomer in PC sound, and also a familiar face, and three studio monitor sets.

great for a short time
I have purchased 2 sets of these and both times they played really awsome for about 1.5 years and both sets have died out on me after that. They are really awsome for the sound and money at first but it is VERY agrivating to have both set die on me in such a short time.

Sounds excellent
Sound is excellent, I was thinking of going for the Companion 3 but shelled out the $ for the 5. I am completely happy with the sound quality, high end is crisp, bass is solid, design is done right.

Good Value for the Price
Its simply superb product and worth for the price.The Bose system in my llving room (about a 14 x 18 foot room) is remarkable. Across all ranges, from highs to lows, the Bose system delivers sharp, clean sound. I am impressed.

Bose Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System
At 64 years old I have owned just about every type of sound system and brands on the market to date "and I love my music". I didn't want to spend the asking price for this system "but" I am so glad I did. I have owned Bose products in the past and I still do, besides the Bose 5 system.

Great Sound from Bose
Once again Bose does it well, but does it at a price that most cannot afford. The sound is great and the very small size of the desktop speakers are a big plus. The speakers should not be placed more than 24 inches apart when lisitening to 5.1 thru the decoder.

Excellent speaker system with brilliantly powerful and clear music. Easy to control.
I debated for a long time whether to purchase the companion 3 or 5 speakers, as it was a ￡50 price difference and from what I could see all you got was a USB connection and a claim the companion 5s can reproduce 5.1 surround sound. I eventually gave in to the companion 5s and I was not disappointed!

BOSE COMPANION 5: Good for a desktop user but WAY too expensive
The Companion 5's work well enough for the small desktop environment, but, their huge price tag and only moderate preformance stop me from recommending them.
Pros:
- Attractive
- high quality design
Cons:
- Doesn't truly give surround sound
- Bypasses sound cards
- Sound range
