Guide Review - Bose Companion 3 Multimedia Speaker System Review

The Bose Companion 3 multimedia speakers offer high quality sound for all of your multimedia needs such as gaming music and movies without the clutter of having large front, center, and rear channel speakers plus numerious sets of wires crowding up your workspace area.

The Bose Companion 3 multimedia speaker system includes 2 small front satellite speakers, an Acousticmass module subwoofer, and a control pod that easily controls volume and includes 2 input jacks for headphones, MP3 players and other audio sources.
