Guide Review - Bose Companion 3 Multimedia Speaker System Review
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.
Overall the system delivers very impressive and robust audio output from all types of multimedia. Bose's TrueSpace® stereo signal processing provides high quality sound, which fills the room giving a surround sound effect bringing games, music and movies to life. The sound quality from the three small components matches up and even surpasses that of many 5 channel surround sound computer speaker systems on the market.
Performance in a small room or office is excellent while larger rooms the sound does become a bit spread out but these speakers are not intended to substitute a home theater speaker system. For gamers looking for more space on their desk, high quality sound, and an easy to operate
