Digital camera reviews of Bose Companion 3 Series II multimedia speaker system (Graphite/Silver)
Digital camera Review: A good choice
Summary: 4 Stars
Since this is a largely positive review, I am going to start with the negatives, and get them out of the way...
1) Size. The two speakers are incredibly small, as Bose products usually are. This is wonderful. The weird thing, however, is that the subwoofer is absolutely enormous. It is, in fact, too deep for my shelf on my desk, so it hangs over an inch or two. I bought Bose because I wanted a small footprint; instead I got two tiny footprints and a Sasquatch.
2) The controller has a plug-in point for headphones. For some reason, the sound quality when I used it was very poor. Now I stick the headphones in the main computer, where they belong.
Now the positives:
1) Sound quality is excellent. I use my computer for gaming and occasionally Netflix movies, and I have been very pleased with both.
2) The controller is a stroke of genius. It is a small disc you can place almost anywhere. You turn it to adjust the volume, and tap the top to mute. Absolute simplicity. There is also a plug-in for headphones there, but, as I mentioned earlier, I wouldn't recommend them.
Overall, an excellent choice. As other reviews have mentioned, this is a 2.1 speaker system, and you definitely lose some sound quality from a 5.1. Truth be told, however, I don't know too many people who have 5.1 speakers attached to their computer. If I need surround sound, I plug in my headphones. For everything else, these speakers absolutely do the job.
