Bose Companion 20

This 2.0 speaker setup is one of the first Bose products we've seen that actually lives up to its billing.

Powerful, bassy sound ; Convenient wired remote ; Stylish design

Quite expensive ; Possibly a bit too bassy ; No bass/treble control

While Bose products have fallen foul of us in the past, the Companion 20 has knocked our socks off. The sheer volume and drive produced by these 2.0 speakers is astonishing and bass, if anything, is fractionally more prominent than it would be in a...

Powerful, room-filling sound ; Sleek, elegant design ; No subwoofer needed

Companion® 20 Multimedia Speaker System Computer Speaker System

The speakers render a high-quality impression, and their wide-spectrum soundstage is also impressive. The jury furthermore liked the Control Pod with its headphone output and the connector jack for other devices.

Bose Companion 20 Review

2.0 speakers have always created their niche in the market with the portability and affordability they provide. Simply hook it up to your laptop, mobile phone

The Companion 20 are priced at Rs. 14,513. In terms of functionality, these are just a simple set of speakers you would want to attach to your laptop, or PMP for somewhat ‘portable’ audio listening. There’s no fancy stuff like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth...
