Q: wHICH BOSE SPEAKERS?

A: Definitely these sound so much better and fill the room much better. The little extra size makes a big difference with the bass reproduction too.

Q: Are these compatible with a mac book?

A: Yep. Bose makes many Mac-Friendly devices. Currently using a Companion 5, that uses a USB connection. No drivers to install, no software; OSX takes care of everything.

Q: will this speaker system connect to my cell phone for music i have downloaded?

A: Thank you for the questions. If your cell phone has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, these speakers could be connected to play downloaded or streaming music. There is no CD player in these speakers. However, they could be easily connected to a portable CD player or computer that would allow you to play your disc through the speakers.

Q: will these speakers work on a 220 v system outside the US?

A: Hi there. The Companion 20's power supply is dual voltage. It can be used in a different region by replacing the line cord that connects the power supply to the outlet. Thanks for the question.

Q: How do these speakers connect to my macbook?

A: The Bose Companion 20 speaker system attaches to any laptop via the headphone jack. They plug to the computer’s headphone output via a standard 3.5mm jack. The appropriate stereo cable for this connection is provided in the box. Thank you for the question!

Q: Does it have a mic

A: No

Q: What is the difference between this and the $89 Bose Companion 2 Series III speaker in terms of sound quality?

A: These are much better. I returned the Series III speakers. They are just OK. If you spend a little bit more you won't have to ever buy them again, so it is a good long term investment.

Q: With the Bose Companion 20 is there an extension cable (speaker to computer) if the original cable/wire is too short?

A: I bought a standard 3.5mm stereo cable from Radio Shack to hook from the sound card to the speaker and it works fine. The cable that connects the two speakers together is fairly short and it is proprietary and even Bose does not make an extension.

An excellent pair of computer speakers
Most people don’t pay much attention to computer speakers. Those who are interested in good quality sound will make a strategic investment. Others will just get anything to get by because the situation is just not that serious. If you fall into the latter category than the speakers or not for you. If you are an audio file and really care about the sound that comes from your computer or your laptop then you may want to consider the investment in the speakers. The reason why I called him an investment is because they are expensive. You can find plenty of other speakers that are a quarter of the price. However if you want a set of desktop speakers that House good bass treble and mid range without having to use a subwoofer you may want to consider the speakers. Pros - they are nice looking and solidly built. They sound great and they save space by not including a bass subwoofer. Cons - they are expensive (comparatively speaking), they only come in one color (silver), and the wires can be obtrusive (in addition to having the wires that connect the speakers to the computer and the speakers to each other you also have another wire that connects the speakers to a physical sound pod that controls your sound on mute functions and also serves as a headphone port). Final verdict- if you care enough about high quality sound and you have a big enough budget for computer accessories then you should definitely consider these speakers. Are they worth the $250 price tag? Well that’s entirely up to you.

Excellent! Give them your money!
I'll give a different review. i am amazed at how clear and full these speakers are at low levels. While others are asleep I can still have these speakers on because even at their lowest level you can still hear everything perfectly. Easily, the best speakers I've ever had for a desktop. Plus they match perfectly. The design gives them a little tilt upward which is also appreciated for my standing desk. Such a full sound even at low levels. The price is highly acceptable for these babies. Also, that little sound circle thingy behind my keyboard is extremely useful. Just tap for quick on and off instead of the Control + Volume I was working with. The dial spins for volume levels. I am abnormally excited over these speakers and you will be too. They also easily fill a room perfectly as well. But that's not what they're for. Your days in front of the computer will be eased with the perfect coffee shop vibe they produce.

Amazing speakers Just Lacks an equalizer.
I had a really good set of Altec Lansing speakers that I bought way back in 2000. Those wounded up in my dads hands 10 years later, and they still sound amazing to this day. Unfortunately I do not see much of Altec Lansing in PC speakers these days, which is why I decided on the Bose. The reason for the Bose is that I have a small desk and needed compact speakers with premium sound. I thought I achieved that goal when buying a cheaper set of generic speakers on Amazon. Now that set sounded pretty good for $60, but the controller on it was awful. So I went all out and bought these. They are not cheap, but neither is the sound. And while these sound excellent, what I love most about it is the circular remote. It feels like metal and the convenience of a headphone jack built into the remote is outstanding. So it isn't just the sound you are paying for, you are paying for the look and finish of the product, which will compliment any desk, small or large. I currently have these tucked under my curved Dell monitor that I purchased from Best Buy and I love the look. They look modern and sleek, great build quality with that silver metal mesh and metal sides. I was listening to music on these and my wife complimented the sound. Now for audiophiles you may dislike the inability to have equalizer settings to lower the bass. That is a tad disappointing, and my old altec lansing speakers had a built in equalizer in the controls. So be wary of that when you buy these. All in all, very happy with them, just trying to find some kind of software equalizer to reduce the bass in certain situations...can't seem to find anything.
