Bose Companion 5

I swear I will never buy any other make ever again! What a fantastic product! I have been a Bose fan for years, but when I got married I had a job convincing my husband, who wanted to buy another massive ugly player, for half the price. However, making him fork out £300 for it was worth the effort - 1000% As usual, most people think, bigger the better. Well, it's not true in all cases.. and especially not true with Bose. Most music is now played through comptuers anyway - esp with Spotify making such a big bang. We barely use our CDs, and even if we do, they are playable on my comptuer. So, I dont miss having a separate sound system that plays my CDs ...  Read the complete review

Received the Companion 5 as a Birthday present, and having heard the Companion 3, it was well worth the extra money. It has a quality feel, which is very easy to use, and most of all has amazing sound, which I don't think your ordinary 'run-of-the-mill' speakers could produce. First impressions were good.

Easy to install, as there is a CD provided, and you just follow the steps, and within minutes you're listening to top quality sound. The volume control is very intuitive ( the little circular thing in the picture ) ...  Read the complete review

I wanted a high quality system to connect my ipod, to ensure that I could hear the capability of the MP3 sound. I was willing to spend abit of money.

There are 2 satellite speakers, which give clear definition of a range of sounds, these are connected to the main unit (Acoustimass module) via Bose specific connections and leads (about 2 metres ...  Read the complete review

Bose are known as one on the premium manufacturers of audio devices, and this set clearly demonstrates why. The sound clarity and quality across the range of volumes is staggering. There are no tinny or weak sounds, just rich crisp output. I have used these speakers in a large venue (a large shop) and it is truly incredible how they can fill the space with sound without even needing to be at full volume. Even at full volume there is little to no distortion in the sound. I would recommend these speakers to someone who likes their music, and wants to treat themselves to an incredible set of computer speakers. The build quality of these is ...  Read the complete review
