First let me say that the variation in reviews for this product are all over the map, but I bought them anyway based on the positive reviews and the Bose name.
The first thing I noticed as other reviewers have was the bass. It was very "boomy" as compared to my old 2.1 Nakamichi speakers w/sub. I toned this down with the equalizer option on Real Audio player, and the sound is very rich. If you don't have an equalizer adjustment on your puter, you may not like the deep bass of these speakers. I have the bass setting set to 0 and it sounds good there.
I did like the extra input jack on the speakers for an MP3 player/Ipod. This is great for folks who have their music libraries on their Ipod and don't want to buy another set of speakers or are tight for space say in a bedroom or dorm.
I only have these speakers 1 week so can't comment on reliability. I would have rated them a 5 if not for the bass issue. If you have an equalizer adjustment on your puter, I would recommend them.
 Great sounding speakers December 29, 2008
These speakers are of very good quality. Sit next to them and you will feel as if you where in a concert. Beautiful.
Worth it! December 26, 2008
I am very pleased with these Bose speakers.I like the fact that they have a wide range of quality sound that makes internet radio listening a much more enjoyable event now.
I have read the negative ratings of this item and have only a few to agree with. They are not that expensive when compared to other quality speakers of the same size with this much sound. The fact there is no bass/treble adjustment is easily overcome by using your computer equalizer adjustments.
The compact size makes them ideal for limited areas such as computer stands. No power light on the front is a neagtive.
My wife did not know I had bought the speakers and when she came into the room she was amazed at how nice the sound was coming from the Bose 2 Companion. I am pleased with this product and feel confident you will be too.
Bose Companion 2 Series II December 16, 2008
These sound very good. Very full sound, but a bit hard to hear the mid range and high frequencies. The only problem I have, and maybe this is just mine, is that when I plug in headphones to its headphone jack, I can still hear the sound coming from the speakers. It's quieter but noticeable, whereas usually plugging in headphones will mute the speakers.
Good Speakers in its category! December 15, 2008
These speakers are the best I had ear in its category, no surround, no subwoofer, but great and clear sounds for your mp3, home video, short clips, games and other things you play in your computer.
You can also adjust the settings of your audio card to improve the sound.
Hope this could be helpfull, :)
