is recommended if your laptop or PC is a prime source of entertainment, you're particular about audio quality and you want an elegant yet unobtrusive system. This unexpected sound quality results from the latest in Bose amplifier technology, combined with highly efficient neodymium speakers and Bose digital signal processing. The system's proprietary amplifiers are smaller, lighter and more efficient than traditional linear amplifiers to help keep speakers small--yet powerful. Active electronic equalization balances low, mid and high frequencies for more natural tone and clarity. Acoustic design features dual internal opposing passive radiators for unusually deep, powerful low tones from a very small multimedia speaker system.Here are some reviews from already buy people :

It is spooky how good these sound. My other computer is connected to more than 20k worth of McIntosh and Magneplanar equipment, so believe me when I say that I am truly picky about audio quality. And I'm not generally a fan of the Bose sound, which tends to be balanced but muddy and missing frequencies that are important to me. But I make absolutely no apologies for the sound of these speakers here. Although tiny and unprepossessing, they sound good. Really good! Really, really good, at least at the low to medium levels that I listen to anything while working on my computer from about a foot away. There is no separate sub, and no need for one. I suspect that the spell would be broken if you tried to make them fill a large room with sound, but that's not what they're for. At low levels and nearfield distances they are magical.
Did I mention that they are self-powered and much smaller than my old favorites, the a/d/s L200s? They're really quite tiny. And wonderful.

I bought the music monitors to use with the laptop that keep in my kitchen. Previously I had used the companion 3 system but chose to move it to my home office because the subwoofer was too bulky for my counter top and wanted to reduce the clutter caused by cables.
The music monitors provide excellent sound for my kitchen, I really enjoy the bose headphones and computer speakers, but don't use bose speakers in my hi-fi or home theater rooms.
These speakers fill the space with good sound but I do miss the deeper bass provided by the companion 3's. Overall, they fill my need for this applicaton, as I expected they would. If space is not a concern for you and you want the best sounding speakers (full range) for less money, I would recommend the companion 3 any day. I have companion 3's installed in both my offices at work and at home.
Overall, very satisfied with this purchase, the remote control is also a nice plus.
These small computer speakers are worth their high price because they are accurate sound reproducers of many types of music and are very portable. Base response is adequate, about the same as the small Bose Wave/CD player. Accuracy of music reproduction is not quite as good as the Wave/CD player, but of course stereo separation is much better. Neither of these systems is suitable for all music; Beethoven's 9th will sound much better on larger systems, as will explosions and space shuttle liftoffs. But for instrumental ensembles, opera selections, folk music, pop standards, etc., these speakers are fine.
One warning; when I got these speakers home, they did not perform as well as they did in the Bose store. What I found was that the Windows Media player did not give good results, but Nero Media player did. So software matters.
