  I recently purchased a Bose Companion 3 Speaker system for my PC. Nothing really wrong with the sound from them (for a PC speaker system) but Hi-Fi this system is definitely not! The sound is more like a reasonable car stereo, so if you are used to the sound of a proper Hi-Fi system like a Quad, Roksan or Linn forget about these before you even consider them and bid a welcome to the wonderful world of processed coloured noise that sounds impressive until it wears on you and fatigues your ears after a relitivly short exposure. However if you want a nice speaker set for your PC to make Windows jingles sound a bit more punchy and you are impressed by that "car stereo" sound, then these are probably right up your street!
  One word of warning though... The power amplifier is noisy; there is a constant background hiss and a little buzz (probably from the switch mode power supply within). The noise goes if you mute the speakers by using the touch pad on top of the Bose volume control, but the volume setting does not alter the hiss/buzz. I can hear this sound over the PC fan, so it is quite annoying.
  On the good side I am a Radio Amateur and I have found these speakers to be very immune from RF breakthrough. I run 100 Watts on SSB on HF and VHF/UHF and these little speakers don't even whimper. I also have a set of Bose QC3 headphones which are very poor in this respect, but great headphones otherwise.
  I was thinking about buying a Bose surround sound system for the TV, but before I do, I'll look out for noise from the power amplifier.

  Bought Bose Companion 3 to free up my Logitech ZZ5500 for surround sound in my bedroom. These speakers look great and take up little space however sonicly they are not really upto scratch . I have been an audiophile and music fan for over 20 years and owned much equipment in that time including cd players etc costing £ 1000s. I find it difficult to believe some peoples high scores and comments on this item. BASS IS NOT DEEP the bass that is present is from about 60hz upwards and does not ...

  I would not recommend these speakers! They are comparatively expensive and there is no value for the money which you pay! JBL Spot/Spyro are a lot better and sounds professional than the Bose Companion 3! If you believe in quality and style of the speakers and not the sound, then go for it!

  The companion 3 is very good you get what you pay for with these you can play any kind of music and it will sound stunning these are a big change from my other speakers. I love the control pod for it. It was very easy to set up it. I recommend it to anyone who is looking to buy new speakers..

  I would recomend these to anyone best speakers ever brought apart from my bose thearter system. The sound quality is perfect, i meean for its size i was in shoke on the bass its crisp. you could get the next model up for £270 but theres no point the companion 3 is brilliant. A bit pricy and could look better but apart from that its perfect

  Excellent sound quality from the Bose Companion 3, very compact satellite speakers, sub base fortunately can be hidden away without any loss in sound quality. What do you expect from Bose
