ANOTHER AMAZING PRODUCT FROM BOSE!!!
on October 1, 2011
Posted by: Herold
from Glendale, AZ
The Bose® Companion® 20 Multimedia Speaker System are the best 2-piece speakers that I have ever heard. The sound is just unbelieveable! I am able to hear sounds in songs that I haven't heard before. I compared these speakers to the Companion® 2 series II speakers and there is a huge difference. First of all, the Companion® 2 speakers have very little bass compared to the Companion® 20's. The 20's have amazing bass thanks to its advanced port design (see product pictures). Once you hear these speakers, you will be searching the floor for a subwoofer when really there isn't one! The Companion® 2 speakers were made for someone who will be sitting right in front of their computer and speakers. That is why it doesn't sound good when you're not close to the speakers. But, the Companion® 20 speakers have been designed so that you can enjoy the sound when you are sitting in front of the speakers, or even when you are across the room (see product video).
Next, the Companion® 20 speakers are very well built. They don't feel cheap at all! You can notice that Bose® has used the best materials for it. Also, the control pod makes it very easy to change the volume, mute the sound, connect headphones, and to connect another device via the AUX input. These speakers will blow you away with its sound quality. If you are unsure about buying this product, go to your local Best Buy and listen to them. Also, compare them to other brands. This will help you appreciate the Bose® speakers more. You will also see the Companion® 5 speaker system at Best Buy. The only difference in them is that the they have more bass and that is because it comes with a separate subwoofer. But the problem is that the price is $400!! I wouldn't want a seperate subwoofer because the Companion® 20's have very good bass and they will be easier to move around or to take somewhere else. Whereas the Companion® 5, you will need to carry a huge subwoofer if you want to take the speakers somewhere.
Overall, I would highly recommend these speakers because they are the best speakers you will find for $250. I've been a Bose® fan for a long time and I always will be one. Bose® is the best brand you can go to for sound. If you don't belive this, go to their website and see the large variety of Bose® products. Also, research the company's history. The company started in the 1960's whereas other known companies like Beats® by dr.dre have started in like 2004. This show how long Bose® has been improving their sound for all of their products. I hope this review was helpful and you won't go wrong buying these speakers.
What's great about it: Sound quality, Amazing bass, Well built, Control pod, Good price, Sound that fills the room
What's not so great: Nothing!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased speakers and immediatly returned them. The set up was easy enough but the sound quality was no more than terrible. In playing some rock and roll the mid range instruments drowned out the vocal rendering it unintelligible. I currently own the companion 3 and thought i was installing an upgrade, I was mistaken. I am currently back to using my 3's.

By saying "Terrible Sound Quality" in your title, I think that you are over reacting. First of all, the sound quality is very good and you can prove it by comparing it to other brands at Best Buy. The system that you have (Companion 3) obviously sounds a little better because it has a seperate subwoofer. If you find that the bass or quality is better in the Companion 3 that is okay. I just don't understand why you bought these if you have the Companion 3. And if you wanted these too thats okay but you should have tested them at Best Buy first and decieded whether or not you wanted them. These speakers have very good quality sound and has impressive bass for its size. Also, they have been disigned for room-filling sound. To anyone who has read bobf9's comment and is unsure about this product, just go listen to them at Best Buy, you won't be dissapointed. But, if you are like bobf9 and you want even better from Bose®, then spend $150 more and get the Companion 5 speaker system. The Bose® Companion 20® multimedia speaker system produces the best possible sound from their size and their prize. Also, read my review below this comment. There is a lot of info including pictures and a video. Thanks
