With a compact design, Companion 20 Multimedia Speaker System from Bose consists of two speakers with enough oomph to handle audio for all of your movies, games, and music on your computer. The speakers feature Bose's TrueSpace technology to reproduce wide, natural sound and also rely upon an advanced ported design for delivering deep bass notes.

This control pod also allows you to adjust or mute the volume. The system connects to your computer's 3.5mm input jack and is AC-powered.

The Samsung 22" monitors are perfect for the edit bays at WFAA-TV in Dallas. They give a great picture from our HD signals and HDMI inputs.

Comments about Bose Companion 20 Multimedia Speaker System:
I bought these speakers for my small home office to enhance my MacPro computer where I spend many hours editing video projects and needed a good compliment to my Bose QuietComfort headphones.
These desktop speakers easily fill my room with great sound and bass that my computer speakers cannot match.

Comments about Bose Companion 20 Multimedia Speaker System:
Was surprised to find that a few songs didn't sound as well as expected, but most of the music library (consisting of mainly jazz and classical) sounded great.

Comments about Bose Companion 20 Multimedia Speaker System:
I first bought the Bose Companion 2 set. They have a good sound, but I wanted to hear more bass. I also wanted them to fit on my computer desk. Bose also offers bigger computer speaker sets, that feature a subwoofer. The Companion 20's are great. I love the bass and the overall sound from them, especially for their size. They are taller, sleeker and better looking than the 2's. I haven't used the remote puck accessory that comes with them, but think this is a good addition to these quality speakers. I would definitely recommend them to a friend. If they have a fault, it is they can get really loud and the power supply cord to the speakers is too short so the power supply has to rest on the desk.

Comments about Bose Companion 20 Multimedia Speaker System:
The sound from this small Bose Speaker set is so clear and full, that I've had three different people at work as where the subwoofer is located. It has the quality you would expect from Bose and it is something I am recommending to others.
