Bose MusicMonitor speaker for the PC

By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Sep 19th 2007 4 Comments

Mr. Veneziani from CrunchGear was invited to a Bose event the other day, and while there he got a first hand experience with the Bose MusicMonitor speakers. The setup included the speakers, a small desk, and a brand new iMac and a subwoofer.

They played for the gentleman, six different songs from a range of sources, to drive home the point that Bose’s goal was lifelike sound. After playing through half of those songs, they unplugged the subwoofer, and told him that it was just a decoy, all the bass sounds he heard were coming solely from the two speakers on the desktop.

Bose Companion 5 speakers rise above the rest

By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 6th 2006 No Comments

I’ve always liked those Bose speakers that look like little twisted-square robots, but the company makes more than just home entertainment lifestyle products – they do computer peripherals too. Obviously they stick to what they’re good at, and by golly they’re good at designing lush speakers. Latest off the drawing board and out the factory door are these, the Companion 5 speaker system – hooking up to your computer via USB, they offer the company’s clever TrueSpace 5.1 surround sound emulation from only two speakers plus an Acoustimass subwoofer.

With stands to elevate the main speakers above the detritus cluttering your desk, as well as a remote volume control with both a headphone jack and a secondary input, the Companion 5 system will be available this month for £300 ($570).

Bose In-Ear Headphones for Under $100!

By Vincent Nguyen on Monday, Oct 23rd 2006 9 Comments

p triportie m b It’s hard to believe that Bose would release such an inexpensive headset, the Bose In-Ear headphones. I was expecting around the price range of $149 to $199 given the QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Canceling headphones goes for $349 and the Bose on-ear headphones is priced at $179; very smart pricing, indeed. It’s hard to say how good these headphones are compared to Shure and Ultimate Ears.

These bad boys feature Bose very own proprietary TriPort acoustic headphone structure, which the company claim to yield greater low-frequency output and should create more balanced lifelike sound. How comfortable are these soft silicone earbuds? It’s hard to say. These removable silicone tips comes in S, M and L, which Bose swears that they’ll remain comfortable and stable in your ears for hours.

Will I make the switch from my Etymotic ER 4 microPro earphones for the Bose In-Ear headphones? Most likely not, thanks but no thanks.
