hey what's up guys is 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 set up of those here and basically how we're going to get started here is by unboxing them of course so it foams 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 two 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 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 plug 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 Aiki audio studio monitors and on $29 earbuds right so that's a pretty full range but what does 99 bucks get you out of bose what kind of value are you gonna 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 speaker's 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 a 2 and 1/2 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 it definitely confused me why it was so much bigger than the actual speaker and I like compact speakers so you know no no so how do they actually sound that's what people want to know it's why they came here to see this review well 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 a certain genres like certain pop songs and rock songs guitar acoustic stuff like that jazz sounds great highs are excellent the mids on the goes to companion series too we're 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 was into 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 - 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 - companion series - if you like this review be sure to give it a thumbs up it really does help me out and I'll talk to you guys in the next video thanks for watching peace Oh
