Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Bose Companion 2 Series II Speaker Review!”.
Hey: what’s up guys, it’s marquez from mkbhd and today we’re taking a look at the bose companion, 2 series. 2 speakers that i believe are really great for the price you get them for 99 bucks. So if you want to check that out, that’s in the description below we’re starting off with the setup of those here and basically how we’re going to get started here is by unboxing them, of course, so thumbs up. For that. Basically, one of the reasons people buy speakers is so that they can have a quick, easy audio solution, even if it’s not difficult to set up and for 99 bucks. That is exactly what these do. They’Re.
Surprisingly, simple for the price, as you can see, we take them out here we can unbox them and setting them up is as quick as just a few steps taking them out of the wrapping. For the first time, you’ll notice, the series 2 are built like tanks they’re made from a magnetically shielded plastic cabinet on the outside, and we’ll show that more off later, you’ll also notice that one of the speakers has all the controls on the circuitry, while the other Is well a companion, so it comes with this wall adapter. That looks a little bit odd at first, but basically it comes with the plug from the country you live in, so plug that into the wall, plug your main speaker into the wall and plug your companion. Speaker into the main speaker, that’s plugged into the wall and connect your audio source to the main speaker as well. You can connect up to two audio sources. It comes with one cable, but you might want to attach a second one in the future.
These speakers have great efficiency, so they’ll generally run really loud and really clear. Without an amp. I’Ve listened to a lot of hours of audio on these 99 bose speakers.
I’Ve also listened to a lot of hours of audio on 600 iq, audio studio monitors and on 29 earbuds right. So that’s a pretty full range. But what does 99 bucks get you out of bows? What kind of value are you going to get out of 99? Bose speakers so during my time owning these speakers so far, i’ve learned a lot about why people like them a lot about the speakers themselves and about a lot about why they cost 99 bucks.
They have a pretty decent, build quality, they’re, pretty durable. The cables are really durable and they aren’t breaking anytime soon and also the cabinet is magnetically shielded, so you can have it right next to a monitor with no problem. I was a little bit concerned about the cabinet size because the only speaker itself in the companion, 2 series 2 is the two and a half inch driver up at the top.
So the two and a half inch speaker is the only speaker in each side. So there’s a whole lot of body of the speaker, that’s not being used, or maybe it’s hollow. I don’t really know. Maybe it helps with the sound having space in there but uh. It definitely uh confused me why it was so much bigger than the actual speaker, and i like compact speakers, so you know i don’t know so how do they actually sound? That’S what people want to know it’s why they came here to see this review we’ll start from the highs and work our way down to the lows, because that is also the order in which it falls. The highs sound, great they’re, very, very crisp. They don’t overpower anything they’re, not shrilly or tinny or anything, but they sound great and i definitely like the way songs in certain genres, like certain pop songs and rock songs, guitar acoustic stuff, like that jazz sounds great.
The highs are excellent. The mids on the ghost 2 companion series 2 were medium. I could definitely hear that some mids were especially more prominent in some songs, so they sounded good with again certain songs. It was like hit or miss for me with the mids, and the lows were also decent decent at best. I listened to a lot of music like house, music and and music with a lot of bass in it already. So when i’m not hearing it in the bose 2 and i’m used to hearing it in say my m50 headphones, then it’s a little bit weird to not hear that bass. If you listen to a lot of music with intentionally heavy bass, you might not like these. As much or you might want to go ahead and pick up a subwoofer for maybe an extra 100 bucks or 75 bucks to really fill in the sound, because the mids and highs, like i said, are just fine on these speakers other than that yeah.
That’S basically it those are the bose two companion series 2., if you like this review, be sure to give it a thumbs up. It really does help me out and uh i’ll talk to you guys in the next article. Thanks for watching peace, you .
