Different people will have different ideas of what a ‘budget’ set of speakers should cost, but for something that will still produce great quality audio in a no-frills package, our vote goes to the $100 Bose Companion 2 Series III. It's the most affordable computer speaker system from Bose and will most certainly be an upgrade to anything built in or bundled with your PC.
I now see why the people that rave about Bose speakers make all the fuss. These things sound great! Don't get me wrong now. They won't compare to a multi thousand dollar hifi system but as far as computer speakers go they blow everything else out of the water in their price range.
With no external subwoofer, the small speaker drivers inside these Bose computer speakers have to handle low-, mid- and high-frequency responses. This is typical for 2.0 PC speakers, which suffer distortion at high volumes and have weak bass responses. Even though the absence of a subwoofer holds the Bose Companion 2 Series III multimedia speakers back, they still sound better than built-in speakers.
PC speaker has been always the weakest link in my home sound system, I've tried many speakers including Creative T30 and Bose Companion 5 but they don't really meet my expectations.The Bose Companion 2 Series III is my latest speaker system and I bought...
I believe most people will find the Companion Series III speakers an excellent value. They are well made, inexpensive speakers that produce very nice sound and are versatile enough that they shouldn’t be thought of as just computer speakers.
A set of speakers that are powered and are ideal for attaching to a PC or for playing content from an external device such as an iPod or MP3 player. So what has a quality name like Bose have to offer in this crowded market sector.
