  • go check out my unboxing please! thank you!

  • @tommyang123. To turn it off . You touch the control pad which supplied along with it, gently touching once will mute and touching and holding will switch power off to speakers, any way it has auto switch off function and it will power off the entire unit if u don't play for a specific amount of time. But if u need to power down the entire unit . Just use your wall switch LOL.

  • i bought this speaker , i have a question how do you turn it off, with out unplugging the plug in the wall?

  • @tommyang123 read manual

  • if u say u were 12 when u made this vid youde be my age now?

  • great review kid! Next time make sure that you are not playing crappy MP3 because the quality is not that good, stick with WAV or CD/DVD quality.

    And to all the haters just remember that you are getting the quality that your speakers/headphone are putting out and not the Bose companion 5s! so think before you comment about quality of sound.

  • Buy Other Stereo Equipment or else you'll have a Bad Or Sad Experience
  • The best sound is when you have the bass right in the middle? Depends what you use it for. I have a bose sub hooked up to my blu-ray player and the only way to watch an action film is with the bass all the way up ;-)

  • edifier s550 can beat bose easily

  • @EASTYJAZ34 I guess in volym, not in quality ;)

  • @xans bose is a rip off

  • @EASTYJAZ34 Sorry Dude, how is Bose a rip off? or is that you can not afford them?

  • @joeking342 hmm

    for one bose has the capability of making good products they just choose not to

    ask audiophiles why bose sucks

    and i can afford them i just choose not to buy rip off plastic pieces of shit

  • @EASTYJAZ34 first of all, your edifier s550 5.1 system is probably a great system but its huge! Bose aim this product at people wanting great sound in a room not that big, e.g. an office/bedroom.to run a 5.1 surround sound system you need the correct amount of room so that all the speakers are correctly placed around the room so that the sound can blend , so you can get the full experience of the music/video or game. read the next post please.

  • @joeking342 ok first of all, i do not own edifier i own klipsch, dtx, sony and polk audio. yes the system is fucking huge. bose asks too much for their systems and let me tell u that from an audio enthusiasts point of view. another thing is bose subwoofers also have the capability of going low and deep, but they set their crossover frequencies to 50 hz. yes i understand its for a desktop/ laptop set up but id still rather go for the edifier since it uses 2 way satellite speakers+crossover

  • @EASTYJAZ34 wow, sorry dude, I must of hit a sensitive point, im not arguing with you! the comment was more of a bit of education to all the people that watch/post these sort of video. I am also a audio enthusiasts in fact im an audio and visual effects technician. an im know that everyone have a opinion its just that all speakers have different functions. I do not know why Bose set there crossovers at 50hz but im sure they have a reason, why not ask them?

  • @joeking342 bose usually sets their crossovers to 50 hz because the woofers and amp cannot go lower without distorting majorly

  • Look what mommy bought me!

  • mate your a really good reviewer keep it up

  • Redo this review please. :) I'll subscribe if you do.

  • ill sub anyone who subs me!!!!

  • dude u cant hear the awsomeness through u tube you have to hear it yourself i have these awsome speakers

  • Nice video (= and don't even mind the haters...

  • @ComputerTechGeekZerO If people kept all their thoughts to themselves then nothing would ever get done.

    oh and its a quote from a movie, so, you know, shut up, fag.

  • Way to much money, honey. Listen to real unhyped quality audio products---any number of decent full size similarly priced speakers will blow the Bose Companions to dust. An simple A-B comparison is all that is needed to demonstrate this.

    Polk, Mission, Epos, Kef, Monitor Audio, Paradigm, Celestion, Gallo and many more companies make speakers far superior to Bose.

  • I like to use this when I'm practicing my DJ at home, cause it has a great bass stability, I truly think people should by them, I mostly play techno

  • Good review, dont listen to those haters. They hate you because your young and smart

  • @Mooiboye Thanks! This video is quite old, I made it when I was 12! lol

  • @milleraaronmusic im 11 and i used to make videos like that and i got LOADS of haters

  • @Mooiboye LOL you sound like such a pedo

  • Now play some Cannibal Corps!

  • you guys are all retarted this kid is just trying to show you his speakers he has and really like so you can shut up and leave him alone its just mean

  • I wish i was the kid who got everything he wanted lol

  • The speakers are only going to sound as good as the speakers you are using to listen to the video through :b After they go through a mic and youtube compression why bother even posting a video to show the sound -_-

  • comeon hiphop music on bose is better coz bass and beats is all i need to hear- man you are gay

  • all of you bose buyers you just got bose narco injected because you need to be in drugs to claim that bose sounds amazing they are over priced bose is cheap sound hardware none audiophile

  • fucking crist don't you have to be over a cretin age to post videos on youtube

  • @millerakrause Pretty interesting video and product!

  • I messed around with these at Target. I was disappointed by the lack of bass, but I couldn't get to the back of the sub to see where the bass dial was at either. It could have been all the way down. Otherwise, great quality sound. It's full and rich. It is a little pricy, though.

    I have the companion 2 speakers. They're great.

  • This is awsome, you are using Bose Companion 5 speakers on Youtube. Sound quality is awsome! The more best is that I am using Bose Companion 5 speakers listening to yours Bose Companion 5 speakers sound quality. Which is WoW. can you give me the song;s name. Please. I Love Bose and I do research on them. They are truly awsome speakers company

  • @benjamin2838 Viva La Vida by Coldplay.

  • this is awesome, it sounds good even on youtube.

  • "...Our premium three-piece computer sound system delivers multichannel sound that seems to surround you—without the clutter of five speakers."

    I wonder what Bose's target market is..?

    Oh yea! Mac users!

    Which is why all of their speakers are silver in the stores where you are immediately hassled by the cut throat employee's trying to sell you plastic waveguided speakers.

    I saw a Bose radio clock disassembled in a Bose Store, (Notice: Apple Store, Bose Store) the waveguide was PLASTIC!

  • @ExpertOfSound So what your trying to say is that you would want a gold waveguide in a wave system? what for? the waveguide already does its job... It would be stupid to make the waveguide out of any other material

  • @BOSEROCKS1

    Well, I know but it was that cheap "made in china" looking plastic that they make dollar store toys out of.. and it is very thin too lolol

  • @ExpertOfSound simply shocking! what are we paying our money for? amar g bose is like steve (steven paul) jobs. He wants money, money, and of course money. I can buy a great pair of nuber 381 and a denon amp for a lower price than a bose speaker system in this size and the most shocking thing is that the overpriced bose speakers even do not sound well

  • LOL little 6 year old that doesn't know shut about speakers, I'll stick to my Klipsch 2.1 system.

  • @toasterbread75 I compared that same system to the companion 3 series 2. The Bose had a much broader frequency response by my listening in Future Shop.

  • wide soundstage is what I like about these speakers. What I don't like is its price.... !!!

  • Bass all the way up you lil shit

  • those sound shitty comin out of my phone

  • I had two sets of Bose Companion 3. They each lasted a year. That was $500 wasted. Now I have a home theater receiver hooked up for surround sound on my pc because just about all pc speakers are cheap pieces of shit.

  • @ThamelasStormrage you are so right. i also do not use pc speakers on my pc. i have built my own set of speakers (3.1) which look more beautiful and sound much better. do you want me to make a video of them?

  • @ryantedderfan

    Make a video of them!

    I will watch :D

  • LMAO. Wow those speakers really made my laptop speakers sound better!

  • i had the companion 5's too for about 2 years.

    but you can do better..

    I now use beolab 4's. imho they're wayyy better!

  • LOL COLDPLAY

    Try youtube ID Nw7gd7lCRec xD xD

    homo

  • Bose = OVERPRICED mid-range speakers. I'll stick to my Logitech Z5500 thank you

  • @flyboytgb Well not really You get what you pay for! I got these speakers and let me tell you, these sound like 5.1 surround sound!! Without the 5 speakers!! idk how they do it but its awesome

  • BASS SOUND IN THE MIDDLE WTF IS WRONG WITH U YOU NEED SOME BANGING TUNES GET SOME FUKIN DUBSTEP AND DRUMB AND BASS

  • lolwat

  • review suckedd!!!!

  • Fat fuck

  • Reviewing your dad's pc. Ur kool.

  • good song, but bose suck, you can get better for cheaper

  • Bose claim this is 5.1 but don't necessarily believe them, as it has two satellite speakers (with two speakers each) and as they are on two satellite speakers it just makes it a bigger and louder companion 3. Personally I'd go for the creative t3 which have 3 three subs. But if Bose are technically right does that mean I have a 2.3 speaker system?

  • the Bose Companion 5 sound great in a large room sucker

  • i like bose... but they cost to damn much

    Blatantly Overpriced Stereo Equipment

  • omg..gay song

  • One thing i've always wondered about these reviews, if we find the sound great, then we already have good speakers dont we?

  • @12345JJBB I like coldplay! I also slept with your mother ? So what !

  • @silvachristoisme

    The fact that you didn't understand that quote means you suck.

  • @12345JJBB LMAO THATS THE DUMBEST SHIT I EVER HEARD WHO DOESN'T LIKE COLDPLAY SOME OF THE BIGGEST STARS LISTEN TO COLDPLAY TOO IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW PLAIN AND SIMPLE music is music!

  • @12345JJBB theres nothing gay about liking coldplay!!

  • @12345JJBB LMFAOOO GOOD ONE

  • @12345JJBB Dude, you gave it away. Now we know all know about your arrogance...

  • @TromNomNom Was a quote from a very popular movie actually. Besides, Im better than everyone in the world, and I only like it when I can hear my own voice over others, so shut up.

  • @12345JJBB you know how i know you're gay?

    you can tell when other people are gay...like "gay-dar" or something along those lines

  • lol

  • @12345JJBB haha idiot!!

  • @12345JJBB and you know how i know that you are even gayer than him?

    you recognised the song

  • @miggtt699

    I didn't say any song actually, just the band, and its coldplay... they are immensely overplayed, of course I can tell if its them, and most of there songs just sing the title so it wouldnt be hard to guess, I couldnt name any off right now but if I heard any of them Im sure I could guess 90%

    18 thumbs up tell me that people liked the quote more than the amount that didnt

  • @miggtt699 Actually, he said the song and band lmao idiot

  • @12345JJBB look u r the idiot because:

    1st is non of your buisness

    2nd if u think is right to make fun of people and guy just laughts and leavs u r a dumbass

    3rd this convrsation is 1 month old and over

    so suck it bitch

  • @12345JJBB that was mean :D

  • @12345JJBB I'm not gay and I like Coldplay.

  • @12345JJBB his voice is what gave it away for me. that and coldplay

  • @12345JJBB What if he listened to my chemical romance?

  • @12345JJBB chris martin from coldplay bagged Gwyneth paltrow.so if hes gay i wanna be gay.

  • bose is garbage its made of the cheapest stuff u can get for a price u can buy very very good speakers but hey idc ur wasting your money

  • @millerakrause Gee. Thanks (:

  • @millerakrause I think you should.. This video doesnt do Bose much justice (:

  • They are truly amazing speakers...I, too, have them. Extremely sturdy (metal, not plastic thank you very much) and, assuming you're not TRYING to blow them out or trash the system, it should last you a lifetime.

  • I have bose companion 5 is super i dont want anything better .I dont understand why people who dont have bose talking about bose maybe is jealous?

  • lexus your a very funny person,nice to see you have a sense of humour

  • sucky camera

  • Dear Friends, i find useless the bad behavior comments on this website.If you don't like it that is your own opinion but don't act like jurks with the guy because he posted a comment.I personaly have a Z2300 and a Companion 5.

    The comparison has no sense. BOSE are a few levels above Logitech and i mean it.They also create devces for USA Army and other domains...The Sixtine Chapell from Italy has BOSE SPEAKERS in it.Don't you wonder why? Because they are cheap?NO, BECAUSE THEY ARE HIGH QUALITY!

  • Get a Asus Xonar Dx and a Logitech Z5500 n Bose is Pawned

    no doubt the acoustics r way to clear bt adding a sound card to the Z5500 jus move it ahead of bose

  • I tried it anyway.and it worked.now my frends can play there music to.THANKS SO MUCH.you were a huge help

  • I was wondeing what that jack did.the one on the frunt of the controle pod.right

  • I bought this systen because of you and I love it bose companion 5 Is alsome and soo are You

  • Logietch Z523, $350 cheaper and much better quality sound...

  • Hmmmmm, I'm not so asure about that.

  • if i want a mouse or a webcam ill buy logitech , if i want speakers ill buy BOSE ! . i know that BOSE its more expensive but you get for what you pay ...

    ps

    i pay $350.00 us dollars for my companion 5 at best buy . they were on sale .

  • save 300dollars, buy the teufek motiv 2 and be happy with the best 2.1 existing. Or even buy an 170€ teufel conzept e magnum. Also much better than the bose.

  • BOSE IS SHIT

  • TEUFEL rules !

  • how many watt? n what the diff between BOSE COMPANION 3

  • Um I don't know about wattage, as for the differance, think of the companion 5 as the 3321 for your PC. Yes I do believe the 321 is the Companion 5's dad as it were. I'll ask Bose just make sure

  • Judge the company, not the buyer.

  • He's just a kid there is no need for insults. I don't like Bose ether but come on man just leave the kid alone.

  • I would prefer a z-5500 for the price

  • no kiddin

  • Oh no you don't, I've heard the Z5500, and I was very disapointed with them. No way in hell those things will sound like a movie house AKA a theater. There's just no damb way.

  • I just can't even agree with you MrHamit64:(

  • PSH. you stupid kid, people who buy "bose" speakers DON"T KNOW SHIT ABOUT SPEAKERS... Just like you because you said they are the "best speakers for computer use"

  • I agree, a logitech Z2300 which is far less will drown these speakers out and still have room for more volume.

    Bose is all about marketing and they have achieved this to perfection.

    It's sometimes not the fault of the purchaser, they have just been sucked into the branding.

  • wtf is your problem mothefka!? then why the fk did you search bose companion 5? leave the kid alone! gay! go and look for a gf

  • @AnDrEwemd wtf is your problem motherfka? i never searched " shit companion 5" it was in related videos

  • Well, there's no need for that sort of language! Who are you to say anything may ask? Arr you Ben Burt or soneone like him?

  • Cheap.. Sorry I'm Swedish ffs!

  • hmmm..NO

  • Umm.. I didnt hear that much bass... ehh Bose is overpriced.. Don waste your money, get over the space issue and get professional monitor speakers.. Cheaper..but better quality

  • Thanks for sharing. Good taste in music, and speakers ;-) Hope you enjoy them for a long time to come.

  • Whats his age? 8?

  • Comment removed

  • well i work and best buy and i get them for 250 and they are amazing

  • Sheep shit. Bang & Olufsen FTW!

  • Bose speakers are great but not for everybody.People who enjoy loud playing music Bose is not for you, but if you like clear music at moderate levels maybe Bose is the right choice.

  • lolzz..... go get a altec lansing MX5021.. and compare your system with MX5021...and see yourself which is good.u can compare Altec lansing even with bose 321.........

  • get your self a logitech z 5500 set and then ull be suprised

  • Comment removed

  • u can use them for a laptop, and are no instuments u cant hear. i got some bang & olufsen too

  • wow that song sux

  • Im gettin these speakers tomrw.

  • I would be amazed at how assy they sound compared to my Edirol MA-15Ds.

    2.1 is a euphemism for 1.5 (two tweeters but only 1 woofer). Get yourself real 2 way speakers in wooden cabinets or get out tbh.

  • oh and did I mention the Edirols are a litte over half the price of these? Built in 24bit/192Khz DAC with optical input as well. But I'm just boasting now. Glad I went to the trouble of doing some research before buying my speakers.

  • I will admit the Edirols are pretty ugly though (before someone else goes to the trouble of pointing that out) But none of my equipment matches in appearance anyway, I just buy the best quality stuff in my price range. As long as it sounds good it could have a picture of Hitler on the front and I wouldn't care (actually I'd be somewhat intrigued)

  • ur a queer

  • lol my thoughts exactly

  • Wow Over 17k views! Thanks everyone.. Bose C2 review coming soon!

  • How much Watt RMS is the bass?

  • I know its 70 watts

    but dont know about the sub ;S

  • logitech rulez !!

  • logitech rules? haha...If I told you how many logitech speakers I have gone through you would be sick lol. That is, until I discovered the Bose companion series speakers.

  • Bose=FAIL!!

  • hahaha...Bose just happens to be the best, and will always remain the best.

  • 400 Dollars for THAT?! Come on, you could even get a pair of rather good powered studio monitors for that!

  • 70watts...

    and intergrated audio card ;D

    Maybee not as good as studio monitor but is the tits when it comes to 2.1 systems :P

  • Performance is not measured in Watts. My $3000 studio monitors are 30W each. I somewhat doubt this thing will out-perform them.

  • and thats just my bose

  • lol you know more then me? i own these, along with 4 bose 901's... know more than me? i think not

  • look you cheap ass bose sounds good in a small area , if you have a larger room then bose will sound like ass , in a small room they do the job needed , i own a lifestyle 38 and a yahmaha z11 and my yamaha setup kills the bose but the bose does what i need in my bedroom , u cant find a better system for its size thats the bottem line

  • The room these bose are in is 420 SQ FT, they sound fantastic.

  • @milleraaronmusic Which do you think is better? Bose Companion 3 or Bose Companion 5? I have Bose Companion 3, myself!

  • My bose companion 3 speakers rock my whole downstairs...probably the best computer speakers I have ever owned. They just won't die. Now I must get the companion 5 set. Bose is simply the best.

  • Any 'audiophile' should tell you that the bottom line is that YOUR speakers sound good to YOUR ears. This kid is obviously happy with his new toy and in the end that is all that matters. Stop being snobs and get off his back.

  • Some of you are right there are better speakers out there than bose, and I use to own a set, but it also use to take up my whole living room, for the quality you get from bose and for the size of speaker they are you can not complain! I sold my bulky system and now have room for my new bose system two bookshelves and a papason chair, also have a open rack now for another gaming system! I also have a pair of the companion 3's as well and they sound nice!

  • they do sound good though

  • a what? subdwoodfer ??? what did he call it?

  • S-u-b-w-o-o-f-e-r... pronounced suhbwoofur

  • Hi MrAudioGeek,

    I also have a questions for people who DOESN'T think BOSE is quality equipment.

    Where did you hear or read buying Bose system is NOT good purchase?

    Why car companies such as Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, etc using Bose sound systems instead?

  • good point, however I think that most of the reasons top end cars use bose sound systems are because they are well known, "popular" if you like. Paying a premium for the brand in my opinion. I have a bose lifestyle system and i am more than happy with it however after hearing the system from the brand KEF, i feel that bose could do more (most bose systems lack the tweeter range).

  • Check out my videos. Two of them show what you can get for the price of the Bose Lifestyle 48 (and blows it away).

    Anyway, the sound system in a car is a very low-priority for car companies. Bose most likely wants their speakers in those cars to make their speakers look really good. But, the speakers in them are still cheaply made. A decent aftermarket system would blow away ANY car Bose system.

    Bose is REALLY good at marketing. They'll do anything to make people think their speakers are good.

  • @falkenlaser I do like the sound quality of most Bose equipment I have heard, but DAMN do the prices have to be so artificially high? If they didn't try to pretend to be something they weren't they would get more respect from haters (although their advertising gets them a lot of respect anyway). They are advertised as some of the best speakers in the world, but to use them as a reference for mastering audio in a recording studio would be just plain stupid.

  • you can HEAR that bose isnt up to the audiophile job. there's a lack of definition, there are emphasized and weak frequencies in the freq range. put a bose system of, let's say 2k, to play some demanding music such as classical, next to a 2k system of Totem acoustic or Audio Spectrum or even a more popular Monitor Audio set. you'll notice a big difference in audio quality. Fe. after all that "research" they should know that tweeters are needed and to be placed ABOVE the midwoofer and not besides

  • Bose is "recognized" by many to be among the best because Bose is sure to market themselves to seem like one. They are seen as a sign of luxury, although they are the complete opposite with their cheap materials and sub par quality sound.

    Very few audiophile quality manufacturers actually make car speakers anyway. since they would have to be specifically made for each car model to provide good accuracy. This would add thousands to the price of a vehicle so don't bother bringing up the subject.

  • Bose is NOT a subject in any quality audio equipment discussion on anywhere on the internet, except Bose forums. Do you even know what an audiophile is?

    Please show me a reputable source providing details on why or how Bose = audio quality.

    And the question is, where did YOU read Bose was good for the money?

  • "DONT" gtf off youtube if you dont no english

  • Bose is how you know someone skimped on the research part of their purchase.

    And here is a question for those of you who actually think Bose is quality equipment.

    Where did you hear or read Bose was a good purchase?

  • uhm well other than there ads i first heard about it through other people and they were telling me about how their speakers were the best they have ever heard,

  • The best speakers Ive ever heard are made by Krell. B&W also make great speakers. The Best of the Best award goes to Dynaudio Confidence C4's. unbelievable sound quality.

  • hahahah xD
