These multimedia speakers incorporate Bose engineering for better audio performance. You get clear sound even at high volume; the drivers are angled up towards your ears. Clear sound with good highs and mids is delivered, thanks to the stereo digital processing. This TrueSpace circuitry offers spacious and wide sound.
Design
Their classic black look goes well with almost desktop setups. Each speaker is 5.9 x 3.1 x 7.5’’ and weighs just 2lbs; this makes them so portable and lightweight. On the front of the speakers, there is a mesh grille and a volume control underneath it. There’s no treble or bass control. It has a simple plug-and-play design with a DC power supply port and a 3.5mm stereo plug. Moreover, the ported cabinet helps in the reproduction of more detailed sound.

Final verdict
For people looking for great desktop speakers for better sound quality and near-field listening, the Companion 2 speakers can be a good choice. However, keep in mind that they’re not designed to deliver booming punchy bass and not a substitute for studio monitors.
