To all of the ones....
- Pros: This system can be placed at its highest volume (pretty loud) without losing its quality..very professional Company. Highs don't clip and lows don't distort mids and highs. This is a well designed set.
- Cons: The fact that people look for this system to be as BASSED as a 15inch sub?....but other than that...this is an amazing system hands down and anyone with sound smarts will know it. IF YOUR ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO THINK THE INSANE BASS IS BETTER THAN QUALITY SOUND,....(for example when u see a 98 civic runnin with so much bass you cant hear lyrics) these wont tickle your fancy...
- Other Thoughts: To the user who said "no lows no highs" if your looking for that system to bang the lows like a yorkville concert series sub woofer maybe you wanna look for larger more complicated systems that include the need of spending hundreds on amplifiers and more speakers to balance the sound...such as tweeters and mid toners and subwoofers. I Dj-ed for parties, clubs, and outdoor events and even have 4 systems with professional systems. And i know what im saying when I say, this system is well worth its price..and im not even going to answer the one who compared this system to the logitech surround system...because logitech HAS ALOT TO LEARN ABOUT QUALITY before they can be on the same page as bose,boston, and Bang & Olufsen. Logitech is a good cheap alternative, and have all the respect well earned for their products, but for mouses keyboards and webcams and other plug and plays...and yes...Bose IS one of the best in the market and a name to be proud of. Good job bose. I am indeed impressed.
NEVER BUY
- Pros: good subwoofer, and easy control. Compact design
- Cons: Sounds awful. Notice the specs don't give a power gauge or any idea what the volume is like. I didn't find anything on the bose site. They are okay for personal use if you listen to classical music, but for the life of my I don't know anyone who does. estimated, I would say they have maybe a 50W total system power, and are still more expensive than the logitech z-5500, which is 500 watts AND THX CERTIFIED. Where did the mid-level range go? Who knows! Awful speakers
- Other Thoughts: No Bose system is THX certified, nor do any of them sound good. Awful speakers. Did I mention they suck?
- Pros: they are small
- Cons: I bought for gaming and the speakers dont give a nice full sound. Even when decoding 2 channels. Ok for movies but just ok.
- Other Thoughts: Virtual 5.1 speakers are never true surround sound. So if you want 5.1 sound. Get a 5.1 system. Don't buy these cause ull be dissapointed.
If u want a 2.1 system I recommend Bose companion 3 as they are a great 2.1 system. Great full sound and the bass is kickin!

Introduction
Bose delivers the immersive video watching experience of a 5.1-channel surround sound system without having to clutter your desk with all those speakers. The TrueSpace® surround digital processing circuitry creates it from two elegant desktop speakers and an Acoustimass® module. The desktop speakers come with stands to put them at the right height for a great listening experience.
Setup is easy— the Acoustimass module attaches to your computer with a USB cable so you don’t have to worry about putting multiple plugs in the right ports. The desktop speakers then attach to the Accoustimass module with color-coded plugs. There is also a control pod with a volume control, headphone jack, Aux jack and mute button.
The magnetically shielded speakers are designed to work next to your monitor without interference. The signals that they get from the controller in the Acoustimass module have been tuned by the integrated signal processing and active equalization for true to the original recording sounds at almost any volume level. The compression circuitry minimizes distortion at high volumes, so go ahead and turn it up.
