There are numerous computer manufacturers who have presented such computer hardware components in time and which have presented them as being characterized by numerous important features which are said to influence their performance.

As computer users we have to be familiar with such features and try to always analyze them before deciding upon the quality of a certain type of speakers that we might analyze. In this article we have considered as being useful for us to analyze Bose computer speakers which have also become quite popular in time and which might be one example of speakers that you might also be interested in.

Media Mate was the first model of Bose computer speakers and it is known to have been released in 1994. It was considered as affordable at that time and useful to be used as an enhancement for streaming audio, CD and even games. They were appreciated for their magnet shield which enabled them to prevent monitor interference and for their dual RCA inputs. These inputs are useful for the user because they enable hem to switch to another source when this is what they might be interested in such sources to which it can be switched are the MP3 player or the compact disc, for example.

Another generation of Bose computer speakers became familiar among computer users as Bose Companion 2 speakers and they were also appreciated for consisting electromagnetic shielding features. The main change in the case of these speakers was presented by the buss ducts that we place on the back side of the speakers whereas in the first case they had been placed on the front side of the speakers.

Bose Companion 5 computer speakers have also become poplar among computer users in time and this was mainly due to the way in which they were discovered to provide sound, namely by means of a stereo jack which required a free USB 2.0 port. Computer Music Monitor is another model for such computer speakers that was released in Japan in 2006 and which were considered to deliver good sound quality and accuracy. Certainly, drawbacks have also been considered in the case of each of these Bose computer speakers, the same as in the case of any other type if computer speakers available for computer users to use nowadays.

Bose computer speakers represent an example of such computer hardware components that have become popular in time due tot heir features and specifications and also due to the fact that they have proved to be quite useful to be used by numerous computer users.

The company is making good products and has a lot of experience in this domain, so you can trust the brand when buying a Bose product. Among it’s many speakers, it also products some models of iPod speakers. The iPod is a very small and popular music player, and it is actually the best selling digital music player in history. Since 2001 when it was launched, it sold millions of copies all over the world.

The main objective of an iPod is to store and render music, but the latest models of iPod are also capable of storing other files, such as documents, calendars, mails, games and others. Each iPod comes with an included pair of headphones, allowing you to enjoy the music by yourself, without disturbing the other people around you. But sometimes you may want to share the sound with other people too, and in this case you must have some iPod speakers (also called iPod docks). There are many companies that are producing these kind of devices, and as we said earlier Bose is one of them.

So today we are going to discuss about some Bose iPod speakers. There are a few models and the SoundDock 10 is one of them. This device has a simple design and it will offer you a good and quite powerful sound. Unlike other iPod speakers, this one has an integrated subwoofer, meaning that it will give a complex sound, with a deep bass. You can dock your iPod or iPhone in this device, but you can also connect it to a computer, or another music source (CD, DVD or MP3 player).

You can use it for a party, a picnic or any other activity you want. The sound is rich and the producers tells that “you probably never heard your iPod to sound so good”. It has dimensions of  8.7 ” H x 17 ” W x 9.6 ” D ( 22.1 cm x 43.2 cm x 24.4 cm ) and weighs 18 lbs (8 kg). So here were the good parts about this device, but now here are the negative ones. Actually there is only one negative aspect about this iPod dock, and this is its price. It comes at a huge price of 600 dollars. With these money you can buy some really big and powerful speakers, such as a surround sound system or some floor standing speakers. so it is up to you to decide if you want to spend so much money for this iPod speaker or not.

Let’s discuss about one more iPod speaker from Bose, and we’ll choose the SoundDock series II. This one also has a simple but elegant design and it can also be connected to an iPod, iPhone, computer, CD or MP3 player. This one also comes with a remote control , that will allow you to have control over the volume and the song that is playing even from distance. This one has dimensions of 6.65 ” H x 11.91 ” W x 6.48 ” D ( 16.89 cm x 30.26 cm x 16.47 cm ) and it weighs just 4.56 lbs (2 kg). And it costs half of the speaker presented before, so this means 300 dollars.

In that time there weren’t such good models of speakers for the home users, and he was disappointed that these speakers can’t bring the sound of a real concert into someone’s room. He made a lot of researches and he came with the 901 Direct Reflecting speakers, that set a new standard of the market on that time, and the years to com. The company continued to develop and to bring new inventions to the audio market.

So the company has a lot of experience in the domain, therefore when buying a product from Bose, you can be sure that it is among the best ones. Today you can enjoy the Bose sound quality in so many places, from outdoor arenas to small stores and restaurants, from your own room to your car (if you are driving a car like Alfa Romeo, Audi, Cadillac, Ferrari, Infiniti, Hummer, Mercedes, Porsche)…and even in your boat.

Even though Bose offers just one model of marine speakers, they are quite good speakers, and today we are going to discuss more about them. This model is called “131 marine speakers” and has an official price of 238 dollars. But you may want to search for this model on some retail stores or auction sites, because it is possible to find it even cheaper. These are quite small speakers with ported enclosure for a high quality audio performance.

They also come with a warranty of three years, so in this time you can stay relaxed and enjoy a great sound right on your boat, while navigating on the sea.

There are many big producers of audio equipment in the world, and here are some of the big names: Creative, JBL, Logitech, Harman Kardon, Altec Lansing, Boston Acoustics and many more. But of course we can not forget about the Bose Company, and this is what we are going to talk about in this article.

The company was founded back in 1964 by Amar G. Bose, who was a professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The company developed so much since then, but Amar Bose is still the Chairman and primary stockholder today. The headquarters is in Framingham, Massachusetts but the company operates with 5 plants and hundreds of  retail stores all over the world. Beside speakers for the home users it also makes amplifiers, headphones, automotive sound systems and it even has contracts with the US military and with NASA. Between November 2008 and April 2009, Bose was ranked as the third company by the number of sales in the USA, for the home audio and portable audio devices.

As we mentioned before the company is selling its products all over the world. So this is why when you enter the company’s site (www.bose.com) you will get to choose your country, and there is a site in each language. Now let’s talk about some of the computer speakers from Bose.

First let’s choose the speakers called “Computer MusicMonitor”. These are pretty small speakers ideal for laptops, computers or other portable audio devices such as CD or Mp3 players. They have an elegant brushed aluminum enclosure, that will fit well in any workspace. You will find the on and off button and the volume control on the right speaker, but this is not all. Beside the two stereo speakers, it also has a handy remote control unit, which can also control the volume and power of the speakers. So if you have placed the speakers a little far from you, don’t worry because you won’t have to reach them every time you want to change the volume, just use the remote control. As we mentioned before they are very small and they have just 4.81 ” H x 2.5 ” W x 4.81 ” D ( 12.2 cm x 6.5 cm x 12.3 cm). As you can notice in the image, they are as small as a can of cola .

Each speakers weighs just 1.2 lbs ( 0.5 kg) so they can easily be carried around with you anywhere you go, and used with your notebook. They are easy to install and to use, and they are also video shielded, so this means you will be able to place them very close to the monitor, without interfering with it. The producer does not specify any technical details for these speakers, but we are guessing that they are not so powerful, because of the very small dimension. But from what we read in the reviews, the users are saying that these speakers will bring an exceptional sound quality with some bass included too. Also the users are giving these speakers some pretty good ratings (about 4 stars out of 5 or 8 out of 10), but they are also saying that these speakers are just too expensive. We forgot to mention the price so we apologize about that. And yeah, the price is really big, somewhere around 400 dollars. With this money you can easily but a good surround sound system, so it is up to you to decide if you are willing to spend this kind of money for some small, but good computer speakers.

Some other interesting computer speakers from Bose with a same price of 400 dollars are the Companion 5 multimedia speakers. This is a 2.1 system, so its made out of two stereo speakers and a module (subwoofer). Even the price for this system it is also pretty big, this can really be compared with a surround sound system. Bose included some advanced technologies in this system, to bring you a full and rich surround sound, using just 2 small satellite speakers and a subwoofer. It will give you a very detailed sound, just like a 5.1 system, and it will make your games and music sound totally different. It connects with a computer through a USB cable so this means there is no conversion between digital and analog, and the signals will remain digital all the time, and this will result in a much better sound quality. So you don’t need an analog audio cable, and you don’t even need a sound card to use these speakers. Beside the two cool looking satellite speakers and the subwoofer, the system also features a nice control unit. With this you will be able to control the overall volume of the speakers, and also in this unit you can connect your headphones or your iPod. The system also has an active equalization function, to make sure that all the music, games or movies will sound at their best, without you having to interact with the speakers at all. On the back of the subwoofer you will also find the volume control for the bass. All the other connectors from the back of the subwoofer are marked, so you will know exactly where to place each cable, so the installation is very simple. After all it is a good system, that will worth its money.

These were just some of the Bose products and you will find many more others like : 2.1 systems, surround sound systems (5.1), headphones and also professional speakers for stages or musicians and speakers for the car industry.

It was founded in 1964 by a professor of electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology called Amar G. Bose. He was disappointed because the stereo speakers of that time were not able to reproduce the realism of a live music performance. So he began to make extensive research and in 1968 he made the 901 Direct Reflecting speaker system, which set a new standard for the life sounds reproduction. Since then the company continued to develop and to bring many innovations to the audio market. So you can be sure that when you buy a Bose product you will be satisfied, due to it’s great history and experience in this field.  These days you can hear the great sounds offered by Bose in so many different places, from NASA space shuttles to the Japan National Theatre , from large outdoors arenas to intimate stores and restaurants and of course in the privacy of your own room.

The company offers so many home cinemas to choose from. They all come in a great design and they will bring you a great surround experience whenever you are watching a movie, playing a video game or listening to music.

Now let’s choose a random home cinema system and talk more about it. We’ll take the “Lifestyle V30 home entertainment system”.

The greatest thing about this system are its very small but still powerful satellites. They have just 11 cm high so you will be able to place them wherever you want. Even if they are so small they still have a high technology included and will bring you a good sound experience.

The system also features a cool and powerful subwoofer name the “Acoustimass module”. It will bring a deep and cleaer bass and it is recommended to place it under your desk. The system also has a horizontal centre channel speaker. This will usual give out the high sounds, such as the voices of an actor in a movie or the singer in a concert, so that why it is important to place it in front of you. It also includes a media console which will allow you  to connect the system to many kinds of other devices, such as your DVD player or TV, and it even has an internal AM/FM tuner with RDS included. When buying this system you will also receive a cool display panel which will show you all the information you need to know about the system, in an elegant display. And let’s not forget about the complex remote control, which will allow you to control all the system commands, with just a touch of a button when you are  standing in bed or on a chair.

You can also find many audio systems from Bose which have a CD / DVD player included so you can easily enjoy your favorite movies.

But if you are not interested in getting the whole system, you can always pick just some of the components. Bose offers the possibility to buy just the front, rear or center speakers, and use them individually or combine them with other audio components. One example are the 301 Direct Reflecting speakers. They can be included in the bookshelf speakers category but they are also front channel speakers. As the name says, they have a special technology included which reflects the sound to give you that surround feeling and also give you the impression that you are at a live concert.

Among the Bose computer speakers you will also find some cool floor standing speakers, such as the 901 Direct Reflecting speaker system. It is composed out of two speakers so that makes him a stereo system. So if you are not interested in a surround system there is also the Acoustimass system, which is a 2.1 stereo system. That means it has 2 small speakers and a subwoofer. This time the satellite speakers are really small, and they can be placed almost anywhere, without even noticing them. Their dimensions are 7.9 cm in height, 7.9 cm in width and 8.1 cm in depth. The subwoofer is also not so big, it has 35.6 cm in H, 18.4 cm in W and 32 cm in D, so that makes this system perfect for a crowded office desk or a small apartment  room.

Bose is also famous for its high performance Wave systems. These are compact and discreet devices which are bringing you the quality of a stereo system in just one piece. They can fit anywhere and they also can be carried around the house. Some of them are simple radio devices, but others also allow CD, CD-R / RW and MP3 CD playback They all come in a simple design a cool centered display and a remote control.

Like we mentioned before Bose also offers some good quality outdoor speakers, which will give you the chance to take the party outside the room, in your back yard, near the pool or wherever you want. These kind of speakers come in different sizes and shapes, some of them can be placed on the ground and some can be attached to outside walls.

Since the great popularity that the iPods gain in the last few years, every big audio producer must have some iPods speakers. Bose respects itself so it offers some cool speakers or sound docks for iPods and iPhones.  The sound docks are cool devices that can be carried anywhere with you. When you want to enjoy the music from your iPhone all you’ll have to do is take him and place it on the sound dock, and then enjoy the great sound. You’ve probably never heard your iPhone or iPod sound this good!

For the ones who want to enjoy the music without disturbing the people around, Bose is offering many kinds of headphones, from smaller to bigger ones. The best of them features acoustic noise canceling technology so you will hear less noise from outside and more sound from the headphones.

The Bose Company does not make speakers just for the home users. It also produces  business and retail products for places like hotels, bars, retail outlets, leisure centers, large offices, sport arenas, them parks and many more. It is also making professional systems for the stage performances. Least, but not last, the company makes also automotive systems, for many auto producers such as: Alfa Romeo, Audi, Cadillac, Ferrari, Infiniti, Hummer, Mercedes, Porsche and many more.

It has developed a lot over the years, and now it has production plans and stores all over the world from The North and South America to Europe, Asia and even Australia.
