I couldn’t put my subwoofer on the floor under my desk because I have a baby and a dog so I just put it on the desk. Absolutely happy with these speakers! Bass is incredibly enjoyable when playing games and watching movies. I was using the Solo 5 by Bose soundbar as a computer speaker but it just wasn’t cutting it. These are totally worth it.
I have had number of different systems over the years and a few years ago upgraded from the Companion 3 to the Companion 5. These are the best in my opinion, and worth every cent.
I won this system a year ago at a work raffle. The sound on this vlogs is good, but doesn't do it justice. I am loyal to bose, they have never disappointed. I have some old wooden 3 feet tall speakers that kick ASS still today. As they say...you get what you pay for.
One trick to increase your sound experience - find midi settings on your computer and set them up as 5.1 system - mind blown. I did this on iMac - sound went from sweet to incredible
I have the Companion 5's and have had them for 8 years and had companion 2's as well. The funny thing is that still to this day they are not available and now we have the best speakers still to this day best computer system for sound I have!
Of course Flossy did a review on these! Just found these today at a Goodwill for $40 in immaculate condition and was curious to see if he made a review to see his thoughts. I've been rocking a Bose Companion 3 Series II since the summer of 2011 and they're STILL working flawlessly in September, 2024! I bought the Companion 5 because they were $40 at Goodwill, so why not? Freaking A, the Companion 5 are noticeably better than the 3's! I love the 3's, but damn, I feel like I have some catching up to do music wise with the 5's! Such a shame that Bose doesn't make computer speakers anymore! I'm going to buy as many of these as I can find so that I'll always have a Bose speaker system for my desktop computers.
Floss, I don't know if you're still looking at these comments...it goes back a bit now. I listen almost exclusively to classical music...symphonies, opera, etc. Sometimes I'm even guilty about being a bit smug about that. But when I was looking at reviews of various computer speakers I happened upon this one, and ended up getting a really nice used Companion 5 at a good price off of eBay. And I must say, in all candor and with complete sincerity....it really is DA SHIT. Perfect for what I listen to, like a concert hall in miniature spread out before me. Makes the Logitech unit I've been using sound unrefined with flabby bass. Really....thanks for this review.
@@NA-lu4vu the soundsticks 3 sound like big speakers without a subwoofer so that deep bass that you really want you gotta go to the back of your room to hear it that's what I hate about them. I wish they just play the deep bass without me having to go to the back of the room just to hear it or putting the subwoofer on my lap to hear the very deep notes
Late check in, but a check in nonetheless. Have a great Christmas everyone...🎄🎄 Just don't call me to bail you outta jail, I'll probably be there already lol 🍻🍻🍻
Flossy Carter Hey you, we gonna do battle over the holidays with that MKX? My Takeda is rusty as fuck these days. Well, tbh he's always been rusty 😂😂 #3winsoutof150 😂😂
a shout-out to all my brothers out there, this video DO NOT DO JUSTICE to these speakers; they are a million times better than in the video! Just go to the store and hear it yourself to know! And whatever my boy Floss sayin about these speakers is 100% true. I have badass gaming rig and Companion 3 Mark II
Yes sir! I have the companion 5 with a Alienware area 51 R2 gaming PC and playing gears of war , mortal kombat and call of duty man these meet my expectations!
Did you do a review of the Imac with the 3TB Fusion drive?..I have some older G3 and G4 machines and I love them,yet i want to know if i really should invest in a newer Mac.That includes the laptops as well.I might be working at this new spot and they offer Mac laptops for the job.
Ashish Patel my $50 setup sound better than this. (i was interested so we tested it) cons: no fancy volume control (it's already on the keyboard itself lol)
I own these speakers and they've been going strong for a year now. The mic doesn't do it justice. If anyone happens to see it demoed at an electronics store don't hesitate to try it.
ulisses bueno Depends on your ears. If the regular earpods stayed in your ears, airpods should aswell. Same desing. For me, they have always worked great.
are used to work for Whitaker brothers. We did custom home theater installation and we only installed Bose systems we made them millions. I saved up my extra parts you might say to save up to buy one of them for myself. do you allow you to return brackets or whatever else to accumulate what you want to buy LÌOLÀ. So I got me a companion five that was 25 years ago I still have it till this day and no other system can beat it. unless you have the whole full system theater and everything. And installed correctly because we do a whole sound diagnostic of your living room while we used to I don’t work for them anymore but it was big and people were very serious about their speakers. I learn how to run wires anywhere
I have a Bose stereo system and happy with its performance. I'm going to look into these speakers to match up with my system. Thank you for your informational review Floss!
Have this for my pc set up. Honestly I want to upgrade but there isn’t a speaker that performs better than this. Please leave me a link if you found a better one.
My only thing is my volume module went bad because I left it out for many years and it just got gunked up with dust and dirt. That’s on me so I need to buy a new one but the bass module and the speakers are fine these things Rock seriously
I got them in 2016 and they are still working but volume knob is giving me some problems somethings when I spin the knob I get loud scratching and cracking sounds sometimes sounds like a loud gunshot, then stops. Any suggestions?
Big Floss great video as always but let me ask you a question I have the Companion 3 like you for years now and still love them since like 07 honestly how much of an upgrade do I get going to the 5? lmk Merry Christmas big bro!!!
I have these from when they first came out. I still use them on my hp omen. But my brother told me about the Logitech Z906 and showed me his. So i had step up my computer speaker game for my desktop computer and picked up a set. The bose is good for my laptop setup but the Logitech Z906 has it beat hands down. Also 55 in 4k smart tv's are the best computer monitors. I have both my computer and laptop hooked up to a couple of them. It's worth it.
Would you still recommend these speakers now? I lm looking for small pc speakers with bose like sounds. Love the revolve + sound quality, but looking for something smaller and comes in a pair.
How does it compare to logitech z506 and z623? I have z506 but I hate it now because it is 5.1 Channel and I want to buy a 2.1 channel one for my pc but I need set with good quality and good convenient bass
Wassup up Floss happy holidays to you and the family.. And I wanted you to know that Sprint is doing half off on LG V 20.. So it's now 396.00 if you upgrade, add a line or to new Customers, I know a lot of people following you, and if u don't mind putting this information out there, ..

Dope! Great quality! I have my set up with the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 setup. Will eventually get the Bluetooth version. Would like to see a review about them and any Klipsch product. Dope Floss!
Floss great review as always! Please review the Spaced360 Wireless speaker, it's a 60watt speaker which i'm interested in but it lacks in reviews around UA-cam.
The companion 5 are awesome and they are still going strong after 10 years.

I've had a set of Companion 3's possibly for over 10 years now and they still work like the day I got them. Best investment I've ever made.

Hi friend. Companion 5 better than companion 3 II? Why? More bass? Sound quality? 🙏🏼
I have the Companion 3 is this worth buying the companion 5?

They need to update this system with Bluetooth and less wires.
alright then if they do don't be surprised when they are more expensive
where is the power gonna come from. its 5 wires
Absolutely true that these are going to last 5+ years. I have one for last 6 years and boy I love them.
How much better do these sound compared to the soundsticks 3?
The Matt channel a lot better, the bass is much clearer and heavier but then again there is a knob so you can adjust it to as much/less as you’d like

Bose are the gold standard for audio. And these are top notch.
Ashish Patel in terms of price. Not sound

Hi Mr. Flossy, awesome speakers a little over my budget. Happy Holidays to you & your family, keep up the good work. :)
It's a shame they discontinued this product without a replacement. Anyone know if there are other similar speakers on the market?
I own these speakers and they've been going strong for a year now. The mic doesn't do it justice. If anyone happens to see it demoed at an electronics store don't hesitate to try it.
I have these, and your Right you can't go wrong these are the best computer speakers out there in my OPINON.
Will you review the AirPods Flossy?
VeikkoVenemies i heard from the Verge that they slip out real easily
ulisses bueno Depends on your ears. If the regular earpods stayed in your ears, airpods should aswell. Same desing. For me, they have always worked great.
ulisses bueno
I've been using AirPods for over a week now and they're great
Hello Flossy, how are these compared to your companion 3? what is the difference and is it worth the upgrade? Thanks in advance.
These are definitely worth the upgrade, I love them and still use them
@@FlossyCarterdope to still use them today!
Notification Squad what up
just finding you.. legit reviews i like how you describe the product. thanks
floss can you do a video comparing the gear icon x with the airpods?
Floss any idea how these match up against the Audioengine A5? They the same price $400.
a5+ actually. I think the ae a5+ is better. With bose, the highs are pretty tinny.
Flossy you G what's the banger you got slapping for the audio test? Always getting lit whenever I hear that joint in ya videos fam!

Hi Flossy Carter, Can I ask please? do we specifically need the USB/Computer cable from Bose or can we get an alternative one? Will it work?
Bought it at 2013 and still going strong XD
..guess who's back...back again...
Good review floss...these rock for a desktop setup or even a small apt
Flossy, I've got these sexy speakers but is there a specific way to position them to get the mot out of them?
Good to see you back on your video 🙌🏽
I have a Bose stereo system and happy with its performance. I'm going to look into these speakers to match up with my system. Thank you for your informational review Floss!
With all those speakers in ur house - u should give a Flossy Festival
This works for the new tvs?
Your reviews are really quality and detailed made. Thanks
Have this for my pc set up. Honestly I want to upgrade but there isn’t a speaker that performs better than this. Please leave me a link if you found a better one.
Are lows better than Logitech z623?
Is there a name for the usb that connects the subwoofer to the computer? And if there is where can I buy it?
in your opinion... what is the best rugged portable Bluetooth speaker???
sound is nice n crisp...
In my opinion nothing is better then really good studio monitors.
But for this tiny speakers, the sound is great.
My only thing is my volume module went bad because I left it out for many years and it just got gunked up with dust and dirt. That’s on me so I need to buy a new one but the bass module and the speakers are fine these things Rock seriously

thanks for the viedo! What’s the name of music u tested btw?
i watch this video with my Bose Companion 5 on Macbook pro. awesome review. keep it up.
flossy, are you going to review the Air Pods?
You should have played some music that is recorded to take advantage of bass,and treble. That sounded distorted...
Not really distored but compressed, because of the last few volume steps, made to protect the cones.
What is model your laptop mate ?
Wow cool review bro definitly getting these thanks floss! keep it up bro.
