This is old technology in terms of connection to your computer, as blue tooth connection is all the rage. This speaker connects via USB. The most important feature is excellent sound. If you are looking for desktop computer speakers, you can't go wrong with this model. However, new speakers are wireless, and that is the way to go. Because it is old technology, you get one for excellent price (used or new).

If you are looking for old school speakers, this is the way to get excellent Bose sound quality at a good price. I was just looking for something to plug into my computer or the TV and this is so easy to use. I really like the control pod to be able to easily adjust the volume or mute it. We had previously tried the companion 3, which seemed to heat up quite a bit; the companion 5 stays cool. The only thing is that the control pod stopped working and needed to be "reset" by unplugging the power and cables. It worked fine after. If you want Bose sound at a good price this is the way to go.

I have looked at the Bose for a while before buying. I'm not sorry that I invested in this setup. It is a neat clean setup , satellite speakers a classy looking and not in the way or look out of place. But the sound is rich and full the detail is very good and you can get the 5.1 realism with out being surrounded with speakers. the control is simple and easy and a good set of headphones or ear buds give a good quality sound . I would tell any one that they are worth the money especially if you can find a good used set. Nathan Olsen

I purchased this product for a client of mine who is severely hearing impaired. They needed a system with a separate base control. As I already use this speaker system on my own computer, I knew it would meet her needs. My client is very happy with this product and so am I. I hope Bose brings this product back to market.

Replacing the now defunct Corsair k2500 2.1 Setup . I found the Bose system has a more complete tonal range, not as powerful as the 230 watt corsair the Bose set delivers room filling sound in a reproduced 5.1 sound from 2.1 system. Plug and play ready via USB which will make it difficult to run through most sound cards if that's your thing. In all I like the Bose system and would recommend for most gaming and music needs.
