  • Brilliant clarity, but it requires excellent source.
Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging
First off - the quality is brilliantly clear - period. The bassis remarkable for such small speakers, my friends were initially looking for the sub-woofer because the deep, thunderous nuances were so well pronounced. If your picky about the clarity over anything else than your on the right track looking at the Bose Companion 20's. This needs to made very clear - the type of music you listen to is going to need to be taken into consideration. The companion 20's do their best work with classical (orchestrated) music or similar live instrumental styles. I'm listening to Barbra Streisand's 'Love Is The Answer' album now which is mostly a type of smooth jazz, and every key and nuance is being reproduced extremely well with excellent bass response. Earlier I was sampling different types of music from techno, hard rock to a variety from the 60's. The speakers did not fair well with the hard rock and techno as I expected. It seemed the trebles were fine but they lack in the hard hitting drum type sounds. Do not let this discourage you though, as some music really needs a large sub woofer regardless. The spoken word and dialogue without music was perfectly crisp with detail beyond the immediate sounds. You really feel as though you are there. Alternate tests were done with LP recordings (rendered at 24bit 96Khz far beyond CD quality) - once again the companion 20's nailed analogue audio perfectly. I personally did not plug the speakers into any source and just fire away. After reading other reviews that rate the Companion 20's sub-par; I'm concerned that too many people blindly listen to music not realizing their source (mostly the DAC in the computers) is inferior for these speakers. I purchased a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Go Pro! THX certified external sound card ($34) before reviewing these speakers which I would recommend to anyone for utmost clarity. The THX modes on the Go Pro! lift up the bass to a much more appropriate level retaining lower notes (such as ones produced with a cello) that would have been lost with my inferior on-board sound system. Remember this before jumping to conclusions if you buy these. Not all audio sounded the same. I placed the companion 20's on the sides of a TV in my bedroom and watched different scenes from movies (Prometheus, Silence of The Lambs, various James Bond films) which were great - while the best audio experience was about 5' in front of the sound system which makes me think they would be very well suited on a bookshelf at about ear level also. While I listen to them now on the computer about 2.5' in front of me in a smaller environment, I need to push myself back some to get the full range appropriately but this is nit picking. Oh, the volume level was much more than sufficient as well. Overall the volume dial is fantastic and made with mostly aluminum parts with a rubber dial, that which if you touch the top of the Bose imbossment on the top it will shut the unit off and on. It came with a male-male 3.5mm cable for PC or pereferal connectivity. All cables were also about 3' long on each speaker which was more than enough. The only thing I could think of that I wish it came with was a digital audio in of some sort but I honestly doubt you would notice a difference being so close to the audio source (digital and fiber optic cables are mostly beneficial when near electrical sources such as a home theater besides). The build quality of the speakers is what should be expecte from Bose - the speakers are a mixture of metal and some plastic, they feel very, very solid and are slightly heavy (as expected with the driver is has). In the end I highly recommend the Companion 20 mostly for the audio reproduction accuracy and overall clarity. Another great product from an American company. ... show more

  • There are no better computer speakers on the market
There are no better computer speakers on the market. The Bose 20s are worth the $249. I've tried speakers from all price-categories (the cheapo-$50 ones the higher-quality Bose and Logitechs in the $100-150 range. These Bose 20s beat them all, and it's not close. These are a nice compliment to my Bose Soundtouch 30s for my home-office, which I use for general music-listening tapped off my iPad or iPhone (the Bose 30 is an awesome standalone system by the way). Back to the Bose 20s: the sound-output and quality is incredible considering that these are only a pair of speakers that take up very little room and do not have a separate subwoofer unit. I like the small rotating disk that allows volume-control. I have limited room for computer speakers because of my gear-setup. I installed small shelves above my monitors for these Bose 20s and they sound great. Whether you are listening to Beethoven, Black Sabbath, Slayer, or watching or listening (or both) to something work-related like a crime-scene video, a 911-call, a news report, a YouTube video, or gaming with Fight Night or Battlefield 4 (I do it all), these speakers won't let you down. When listening to a song by a band that has a great guitarist, bassist, and drummer, you can clearly distinguish between the players on these speakers. When listening to a stream that has background noise (like a news report where some fool is blabbing in the background), you clearly hear what the background-blabber is saying. Like any good speakers, the quality of the input-data is important, so the better the quality of the input, the better you will hear the output. Thus, for the best experience with these Bose 20s, if you are listening to an oldie but goodie, I recommend you upgrade to the remastered version. If you are watching/listening something on YouTube, look for the "HD" version of it. You won't be disappointed. ... show more

  • Pretty much the best for their size
Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging
I have experience working in audio/visual so think my review might help those trying to make up their mind. By the way, these come highly recommended from other people I know in the audio business who use them at home on their computers. I run a streaming radio station from my bedroom. Space is at a premium at the home made radio rack in the corner of the room. That meant the JBL powered monitor speakers were not going to fit in the space available for the studio monitors. I was looking for studio monitors to replace the existing Bose Solo 5 that rested underneath dual monitors. What I didn't like about the Solo 5 was the lack of channel separation and relatively low bass at low sound levels. Seems that this was made to be used at higher levels in a larger space to reach its potential. Right off the bat the super plus is the volume control pod. Smooth and almost infinite level of adjustments with emergency mute by just touching the top to turn it off. I wouldn't be needing the headphone jack or aux input as the switching for those devices is handled prior to the signal into the Bose Companion 20. Of particular note is the weighting of the volume control pod and the semi-smooth surface on the bottom so it won't move around. Very nice feel to it and it found a home on top the mic preamp / processor which is powdercoated steel. Audio comments: The increased channel separation was welcome. So was the increased bass response at low levels. I really did not want to go with a sub wolfer for this installation as I already have that in another room on a gaming computer. At quite low levels, yes, the bass has a 'disco club' pulsing sound to it. But in my opinion that is an acceptable trade off for doing away with a sub wolfer. At slightly higher levels the sound frequency response has a more natural and level sound. Would I buy these again? Yes! ... show more
