## Description

Bose companion 5 multimedia speaker system – graphite/silver

Review: Didn't think I'd keep them! - I'm very picky with my music systems. Theres just no way around it. I once spent an entire month shopping for the right system for my truck and then a whole day having it installed and tweaked in just about every way possible (different sub, different head unit, multiple speaker locations and sound settings, etc..) until closing time at the car audio store. And eventually paying them for their time and having the system removed because it just didn't sound "right". I've listened to so many systems in my day and found them lacking in certain ways that I'm almost jaded. ALMOST. Too mushy on the bass, not enough "warmth" in the overall sound, mids not clear/clean enough or too harsh, not enough detail/imaging (sound separation/blending), and on and on. I just had no EMOTIONAL reaction to them. My buddy once told me that I'm like a junkie looking for his "first hit". You know, it can never ever be quite as good as "the first time". So it sometimes goes with music gear. But then I come across a little gem like these Bose Companion 5's and realize I'm not as completely crazy as I (and some others such as my wife) actually thought. Here there is hope. For me anyways. Don't get me wrong - these speakers probably aren't the Holy Grail. But they offer so much listening joy that I have say that they have at least re-inspired me to keep searching for the perfect living room set up. I'm NOT impossible to please! Bose apparently did their homework when they thoughtfully built these well made speakers, and it's the stereo imaging that really sets them apart from the others. When playing Thorn In My Pride by The Black Crowes for instance, I can close my eyes and hear the notes of each and every instrument - first the guitar, then high hat, organ, percussion, more guitars, all dancing around my head. Then the vocals coming from...from everywhere! Many songs I listened to had this same affect, but this was the best early example and still one of my favorites to hear on the Bose. Other artists that sound great are Cat Stevens (Father and Son!), Faith Hill (Man's Home is His Castle - the piano and vocals!), Billy Idol (White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face). Harmonies can sound luscious too (The Belle Brigade - Losers). I'm talking about emotion here. There were some songs that brought tears to my eyes for the first time in years... I'm trying not to gush on these because they are not perfect. When I first hooked them up I was disappointed. I thought they sounded tiny and harsh and couldn't believe I spent that much money on them. Being used to disappointment I was planning on sending them back. But after going through the manual and setting them up properly with my Macbook Pro and being more careful choosing the quality of my source they sounded better and better. Now I'm noticing how tight the bass is and how it comes right up to where the four 2" drivers leave off. It's very well balanced. As a reference I have owned some Klipsch Pro Media 4.1 THX (never thought I'd sell them), Altec Lancing, and Logitechs. All sounded good to me but not really special. I even brought home some Bowers & Wilkins MM1's to compare side by side to the Bose. And while those did have some amazing little tweeters they didn't come close to the imaging and bass provided by the Companion 5's and I returned them. So I am keeping the Bose. I recommend them and also that people take the time to set them up properly and give them time to break in. And remember to use a good sound source like a CD or lossless MP3's. Also try a good music player instead of iTunes or Media Player. I am using Audirvauna and it does make a difference. I didn't mean to leave out movies. I just don't watch them on my computer much unless they are music videos lol! I did watch an episode of The Vikings on the History channel and I agree with most of the other reviews that it sounded really full and enjoyed it. Not exactly true 5.1 but very close.
Review: Great Speakers with good sourround-sound simulation - Bose Companion 5 Multimedia Speaker System - Graphite/Silver This is the second set of these speakers that I have bought within the past month. The first I placed in my study with a 27 inch Dell Windows 8.1 all-in-one computer. The second I placed in my bedroom with a Samsung 27 inch Windows 8 all-in-one computer. Thus the rooms are not really very big – studies about 12 x 12 in bedroom about 16 x 16 feet. The sound in both of these rooms is quite booming with great highs, lows, and base. Volume is quite good at about 25% and the neighbors will complain if I raise it above 90%. These are excellent speakers. The 5:1 surround sound simulation is quite good from only three speakers, and the entire assembly is quite simple. So, the five-in-one surround sound is a simulation, and to get the best performance you do need to configure the speakers appropriately in Windows – but that only takes about 1-2 minutes max time. For easy assembly, all cords are color-coded and shaped to fit easily and in only one way into the subwoofer. There is really no way to configure it wrong. The system consist of two desk speakers and a subwoofer that sits preferably on the floor. Assembly is as follows: plug all of the following cables into the subwoofer and place the subwoofer preferably on the floor. • AC power cable • Right speaker cable • Left speaker cable • Volume control that sits on your desk • USB cable that plugs into your computer Place the volume control on your desk and a convenient location. Insert the USB cable into your computer. Insert the power cable into a convenient AC outlet. The volume control as a convenient large button on top to press to turn the system on. If you are using a Windows system go to your control panel and select sound. The sound panel will open you should see speakers 2– Bose USB audio. Highlight the speaker icon and set it to default. Then go to configure and set up and test your speakers. Make sure the distance between the two desk speakers are as indicated in the directions for the best surround-sound and separation. That’s it! :-) You’ve got wonderful surround-sound simulation (but sound is primarily from the front and sides and less so from the rear) with great volume, good separation, and great highs and lows depending on how you set up your equalizer and players. These speakers rock! :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: cable length**
A: Each speaker cable length is eight feet. The provided usb cable is six feet.

**Q: Can I use this on my flatscreen TV?**
A: Yes you can as long as it's got a headphone jack on the tv, I have a set hooked up to my gaming monitor that has an Xbox 360 connected to it, I use this set up when I don't want to go to the bedroom, sometimes my bedroom tv is too much,  I have an 85" sony bravia x1 in the bedroom so this little set up, like to swap Xbox 360, ps3, ps4, Xbox one x to it, it sounds amazing! It's not a movie theater set up, but perfect for what I'm doing with it, I'd highly suggest you get one, bose companion 5 are really good for just about anything.

**Q: Can you play high-res music files (24/96 , 24/192, etc.) with this product?**
A: Yes. These speakers are connected via a USB-B connector as they contain a built-in DAC and signal processor, and your computer will see this as an additional sound card. The processor is inside the acoustimass module and offers several effects configurable through the Windows audio device properties panel. No special drivers are needed; these are plug-and-play. However, as these are meant to simulate a 5.1 setup, Bose does a lot of messing around with the audio signal, especially across stereo channels. This makes them unsuitable for use as studio monitors, which is what I assume you are asking for, as no audiophile can tell the difference between 16-bit uncompressed audio and >180kbps compressed mp3 v0 (abx.digitalfeed.net if you don't believe me), and no human can hear above 21 kHz.

**Q: how to hook bose companion 5 to dell computer with 8.1 operation system**
A: Just connect to USB port and then make sure the Win 8.1 sound page is set to Bose or 5.1 settings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good!!! Think of this as a nice MINI surround sound system.
*by M***E on August 15, 2012*

This unit arrived as expected. Amazon's text service notified me of just about every move the box was handled and transported from the Distribution Center to when this arrived at my home via UPS. The Bose Companion 5 system was boxed perfectly and was easy to assemble on my desk without any hassles. In fact, the Bose Companion 5 was easier to connect than the my old previous system was to take apart and remove. This unit replaced my ageing Harmon/Kardon system. After loading the software and making fine volume adjustment on the sub-woofer, we were amazed of the sound clarity and volume levels this unit produces. This system also comes with a DEMO sound and video CD/DVD (all on one CD). After watching/listening to this CD/DVD, we fully realized that we purchased our ultimate sound system for our computer. Keep in mind that this Bose system needs to be hooked up to a USB outlet on your computer. That's different from the old way, should you be replacing a standard system where the plugs plug into the back side of your computer. Make sure that you have a USB on the BACK SIDE of your computer unless you don't mind seeing USB cords in the front. Also, keep in mind you will never want to unplug this BOSE system to use the USB for another application as you won't have any sound. The wired remote feature is rather useful as well and easy to get use to. and much better than I expected after reading reviews about this system. Yes, its about $50.00 more than what we wanted to pay or budgeted for, but we are confident that this system will out perform our expectations and provide a long life and pleasant sound. Even YOUTUBE videos sound 100% better. I was not a BOSE believer before, but I am becoming one now. The new Companion 5 system is an excellent choice for those seeking affordable sound quality!!! GOOD JOB BOSE AND GOOD JOB AMAZON!!!
