My complaint with Bose stems from my experience with purchasing their Tri-Port headphones a few years ago.

I was completely new to expensive audio gear, not even close to what you'd call an audiophile and I was sold on listening to their demos at Best Buy, which obviously were connected to an amp, if the demo pair themselves weren't a special specimen because they sounded incredible, but I've never been able to get the ones I bought…okay I got them for Christmas …to sound as good as they did at the store.

And I realize the music is specially engineered to bring out the best, but still… So now years later I'm wary about their Companion 5 system, which I'm interested in because once again, the demo set at the store blows everything else away as far as computer speakers go , but will it sound like that when I get them home?

I'll definitely keep my receipt. I suppose I have to thank them though, because that experience with the demo set me on a path to find music that sounded incredible and I've found that, with other brands.

That is all that matters. At least you made an informed decision and didn't decide to buy Brand-X before even auditioning any others.

While metal cones often support high frequencies, paper cones are much more versatile. Bose uses mostly paper cones because their main goal is to achieve super natural sound. Bose has been a stalwart of the hi-fi scene for almost 60 years now.

More recently, its audio remit has expanded somewhat to include smart speakers and Bose soundbars. The correct answer is that Bose speakers are definitely worth the money — but only for certain products.

A Hz rating is best for bass in most subwoofers. The lower the Hz, the more is the bass you can get. A subwoofer that operates lower than this audible range will provide physical vibrations instead of actual sounds. Bose speakers are expensive as the manufacturer designs them for human experience, they have advanced technology, and Bose invests a lot in research.

Bose has also attracted a clientele that believes in the quality of their speakers. Electronics Quicklinks. AV Accessory Quicklinks. Buying Guides Quicklinks. Join us on Facebook Here.

Ask anyone on the street who they think makes the best audio products, and you will likely hear Bose as their answer. We go over the history of their products and "research" discussing everything from their home speakers, headphones, soundbars and more Okay I might get roasted for this.

Is it me or is Bose top secret with frequency specifications as I have looked at their site and home cinema with one product manual and no frequency specs none listed, so must be no lows no highs.

Drunkpenguin Audioholic Chief. Strange days is a great film! I hate bose because of forums like this.
