Summary: My First Experience With Bose
Comment: I was at a loss in my search for quality speakers to use on my computer that had two audio inputs before I found this set. I have always been put off by Bose because of their prices but having little other options I decided to go for it. My immediate impression of these speakers was eloquent cosmetic design and sturdy construction. The volume remote plants its self firmly on a smooth surface and is very easy to operate even in the dark. It has a second input next to the headphone output on the remote which I prefer to be on the back of the sub with the primary input but that's only for my personal setup. The sound overall won't fill a room but it has a very spacious effect to it which makes it perfect for a computer area. The cut off between the sub and the satellites is so seamless I honestly can't tell the sound is coming from the sub. The low tones from this unit are detailed and well produced and do not simply, "thud" like so many other multimedia speaker systems do. The mids and highs are crisp without being too bright, and the sound is well balanced with multiple sounds played at once such as band or rock music. All music played on it has warmth and depth and is enjoyable to listen to, which is primarily why I bought this unit. I appreciate the unit's internal transformer because this helps keep my work area less cluttered. The only possible negative aspect to this unit's design is that it seems to be picky about power. If your power supply fluctuates or has a poor ground this amplifier will reflect it. I personally did not have a problem with this but still recommend plugging it into a UPS unit for clean power. That goes for your source as well because any amplifier can only do as well as the source you provide it with. In short; don't blame the amp for the wiring as other reviews have done. I am very satisfied with this product, however and may give Bose another chance on my next speaker purchase.

Summary: Wow, incredible
Comment: Incredible sound. Hard to listen to without smiling. We are so glad we put this on our computer, our primary tv. I will look at Bose first for any other speaker needs.
It is hard to describe the clean high quality sound, no absurd lows, just perfect sound.

Summary: Nothing beats Bose!
Comment: After reading a few of the "bad" reviews here I'm puzzled. Are we talking about the same speakers? I don't have any of the "tin can" sound from the satellite speakers. No hum or buzz either. Bass sounds great, I have it set at the mid point on the bass control in the back of the sub. I'm running them through an Nvidia sound/video card and they sound amazing!
When running Windows Media Player I can equalize the sound which these really don't need any equalization if run through a high quality sound card. The volume is more than adequate through WMP and a bit lower through RealPlayer so any music videos I'll watch through WMP.
I have owned a bunch of Bose products before so that's usually what I would check out first. Before deciding on these I looked at some Cyber Acoustics, Logitech, ..etc. My son has a set of Logitech's and they don't even come close. My other Bose speakers have been a pair of 901's, 301's,and a couple of pairs of QC2 noise cancelling headphones. You pay more, a lot more for Bose but you get your money's worth.

Summary: Great! Won't disappoint.
Comment: Outside of the superb sound that flows from the speakers, their size is the best part! You will not be disappointed with these, there is so much control of the sound in these speakers. The bass module's sound can be controlled by positioning or by changing the level on the speaker itself. Only downside is the price. If you have a ton of room to spare, go for a bigger speaker system that can match the quality at a cheaper price. But if space is an issue at all, id certainly recommend these.

Summary: Absolutely No Cell Phone Interference
Comment: With my prior speakers, whenever my nearby cell phone received data the speakers buzzed loudly. These Companion 3 speakers must have good shielding because I get absolutely no cell phone interference.
