A:AnswerDefinitely these sound so much better and fill the room much better. The little extra size makes a big difference with the bass reproduction too.
A:AnswerYep. Bose makes many Mac-Friendly devices. Currently using a Companion 5, that uses a USB connection. No drivers to install, no software; OSX takes care of everything.
A:AnswerThank you for the questions.
If your cell phone has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, these speakers could be connected to play downloaded or streaming music.
There is no CD player in these speakers. However, they could be easily connected to a portable CD player or computer that would allow you to play your disc through the speakers.
A:AnswerHi there.
The Companion 20's power supply is dual voltage. It can be used in a different region by replacing the line cord that connects the power supply to the outlet.
Thanks for the question.
A:AnswerThe Bose Companion 20 speaker system attaches to any laptop via the headphone jack. They plug to the computer’s headphone output via a standard 3.5mm jack. The appropriate stereo cable for this connection is provided in the box.
Thank you for the question!
A:AnswerThese are much better. I returned the Series III speakers. They are just OK. If you spend a little bit more you won't have to ever buy them again, so it is a good long term investment.
A:AnswerI bought a standard 3.5mm stereo cable from Radio Shack to hook from the sound card to the speaker and it works fine. The cable that connects the two speakers together is fairly short and it is proprietary and even Bose does not make an extension.
A:AnswerThey are not Bluetooth or wireless. A good set of speakers that are actually slightly cheaper that have Bluetooth would be edifier r1280db. I have both and they both are good. Would honestly say the edifiers sound better.
A:AnswerThe power supply for the Companion 20 speakers is dual voltage and compatible with 220W power outlets. The line cord that goes between the power supply and outlet would need to be replaced with one from the region in which the system is being used. Thanks!
