Rating: Summary: The best computer speakers ever made! Review: I have tested a lot of computer speakers on my computer and ALWAYS the sound was distorted when I turned up the volume to the maximum! My computer had originally Windows 98 and JBL speakers and everything worked great until I updated to Windows ME, then to Windows 2000 and after that to XP. XP works great with everything but one thing! The original sound drivers didn't work for my sound card in XP and they were replaced by generic ones. My JBL speakers got damaged thanks to the SRS WOW Effects on Windows Media Player and the Equalizer. Even when the JBL speakers weren't damaged the bass would sound distorted and the volume at the maximum was very very bad. After that I bought these Cyber Acoustics Speakers with a 15 watt powered subwoofer and 4 speakers and the Bass was still distorted! I got tired and bought these Klipsch EXPENSIVE speakers(5.1, 5 speakers and Subwoofer) and I could still hear some kind of distortion. I returned those Klipsch and lived a bad sound life(in my computer) for a while. The BOSE store just opened in the best mall in Puerto Rico like 3 months ago and I played with all their home theater systems and speakers! I loved(and still love) those Computer Speakers and I decided that after Christmas when I had more money I would get them!(I am only 15 years old and I dont work and don't need to). Well I bought these speakers 3 days ago and it is just incredible the difference in sound! The music gets around me and it feels like if I was on a concert! It has deep bass that isn't distorted at all! I just turn the volume up at 1/4 of the maximum and it is loud enough for me and the best is that you can connect it to your TV, a CD Player and anything with sound output! I even connected it to my Xbox and it sounds louder and even better than my SONY 650 watt 5.1 speaker system!(The bass isn't as loud as the subwoofer, but it sounds great!) Connect it to your DVD Player too! It is incredible!! And I never turned the volume up to the maximum! These are the speakers you have always wanted and dreamt of for your computer! My room is filled with sound when I use them! BOSE... Better sound through research! Go to a BOSE Store and test them. You will love BOSE forever ;). Something else! They are GREAT for gaming! Try to play Unreal Tournament 2003 and you will love the bass!
Rating: Summary: Incredible Sound From Just Two Speakers! Review: I have to take my hat off to BOSE and what they have been able to accomplish with these speakers. I was afraid that they might not have the acustical balance as with some other speaker packages that include a subwoofer. That fear was gone once I heard them for the first time. The sound balance is exceptional. The bass response is smooth and the mid to high frequencies are crisp and clean. These are perfect for listening to Mp3's and gaming applications. Well worth the price and I have to say that I am more than satisfied with this purchase.
Rating: Summary: These are the best speakers ever! Review: I just got these speakers, and i love them. Bose has the best sound in the world and i was surprised by the price. When i hooked up the system it was easy and the sound was increadible. I love the sound and the bass is perfect, i would recommend these speakers, i love them, i got the ones in blue, they look really good.
Rating: Summary: amazing sound Review: i purchased these speakers 1 week back they have amazing sound and clearity is better than any other monsoon or for that matter creative speakers. A very decent price for these very small speakers.
Rating: Summary: Wow! Great sound from such small speakers! Review: I think these speakers are awesome. It's really cheap, considering they are "Bose"(look at other bose products. I bet this is the cheapest speakers they have.) but they still sound like Bose. They're really small, but they have pretty strong base, and sound is extremely clear. Many people criticize Bose since bose products are really overpriced, but I think this is a good purchase since it's pretty cheap and has great sound.
Rating: Summary: Great poor man's theater system! Review: I've had mine for 6 years now. I have them hooked up to my dvd on my tv and mini boombox. It's cool you can hook them up to two things at once. Have loved the full sound that comes out of them. I've got a great theater sound and didn't have to shell out mega bucks! I would get another pair in a heartbeat if these ever go on me. Great buy!

Rating: Summary: Go with Klipsch Review: Klipsch speakers just sound better in every way. I have owned both kinds. I just got rid of my Bose MediaMate because the sound quality does NOT compare. I read in PC mag that the Klipsch promedia sound so good "that its almost sickening". They didnt want to comment on the Bose, they dont even get a consideration! Please, take it from someone who has owned both kinds of quality computer speakers. GO WITH KLIPSCH and leave Bose speakers to those who dont care that much!
Rating: Summary: You can buy much better for less money..... Review: My main problem with Bose speakers in general is that they "color" the sound quite a bit. The whole "Proprietary spaciousness-enhancing circuitry", in my opinion takes away much of the clarity of the sound. In my opinion, most of the people who wrote reviews here really do not know much about speakers, because Bose have a horrible reputation with audiophiles. I owned and returned these speakers. They are not horrible mind you, but you could do MUCH better for less money. If anyone is thinking about buying these, do yourself a favor and try the Cambridge SoundWorks "SoundWorks" 3 piece system first. They absolutely blow the Bose speakers away and retail for $69.
