Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought these from sams club for [...] buck but even than they are not worth it. sound fades always for some reason. I had own altec before and now i bought a second pair. much happier with altecs : )
Great Sound & Size For A PC
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I’ve never been a huge fan of Bose products, their overrated and often tinny sounding speakers in particular. But these small speakers do a good job with CD’s and MP3′s played on my computer, and for the $69 I paid, a pretty good bargain.
Bass is good despite their size, and tucked away on a shelf behind my desk they don’t get in the way like a subwoofer equipped set up would.
Outstanding

I have never purchased a Bose product. I ve heard the quality in the Bose Factory stores,but the price was too high for my budget. As much as I would love the Waveradio,I couldn’t justify shelling out $300 plus for it. I ve seen the original Waveradio at $199 here,so that could be a future purchase.
I was in Sams last week and saw these speakers for $70. They sounded great in the store,so i picked up a pair. The sound is incredible from these tiny speakers. I use it to listen to CDs and my XM radio,and I couldn’t be more pleased. The bass is powerful and the seperation exceeds my expectations.
For $70, I made a great move. I know this particular brand has been discontinued to make room for the Series 2,but I am very happy with this purchase.
Good, but also disappointing
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I really wanted to like these speakers – and for the most part I did when listening to a pair in a local Sams Club. As many of the reviews here have stated there are highs and lows with the Companion 2 speakers.
First the Highs: I was very impressed with both the amount of Bass produced, and the clarity of the sound coming from the speakers. Individual instruments were clear and crisp, and not distorted or muffled. And there was plenty of bass for most casual music listening – probably the best I’ve heard from a 2.0 system.
Unfortunately, there were several Lows that crippled the speakers (in my opinion). First, from a sound quality perspective, there was a dramatic channel separation between left and right that never let a vocal track converge in the center of the listening stage. In other words, a main vocal track that normally (in my other higher end 2.1 systems) appears to come from directly front and center in the audio stage was instead very evident coming from both right and left speakers. It gave an odd surround sound feel that didn’t seem natural to me. Secondly, the main speaker (with the volume control) apparently had less than adequate shielding as it was picking up a static/crackling when placed in close proximity to our Mac Mini that it was connected to. Move it further away and it was okay, move it closer and it started to crackle.
I have several other Logitech speakers (Z3 and X230) that I’m very happy with, so I also tried a set of the X-140′s with this same Mac Mini setup. While I believe the sound was a bit more crisp in the Bose (and the Bass was more full), the voice is much better placed in the X-140s, and the Bass is the next best in a 2.0 system I’ve heard next to the Bose. They also very clear sound – and, there is no static or crackling from the X-140 even when placed directly on top of the Mac Mini.
So, while the Companion 2 speakers have some very strong features, in the end I was overall disappointed and I’m keeping the X-140s instead as a very capable 2.0 setup – and for less than 1/2 the price of the Bose.
Nice

The Bose speakers were just as described in excellant brand new condition. I give this seller a good review since the delivery came much sooner then I thought. This seller had done a supurb job in all ways and I highly reccomended seller for all he did.
