Professional reviewers commend the Companion 2 Series III for delivering a surprisingly wide and clear soundstage for its size, thanks to Bose's TrueSpace digital processing. They acknowledge its solid value for desktop audio but note the modest bass and lack of Bluetooth as drawbacks compared to newer multi-channel or wireless offerings.
Consumers consistently highlight the speaker's straightforward plug-and-play setup, clear mids and highs, and compact desk-friendly design. The most common complaints revolve around the limited bass depth and the perception that the maximum volume can be restrictive for louder media.
Professional reviewers commend the G2000 for its space-saving design, punchy sound, and gamer-focused features such as EQ modes and RGB lighting, while noting the plastic build feels less premium and the power spec wording can be confusing.
Everyday buyers generally like the straightforward Bluetooth pairing, the vibrant RGB lighting, and the surprisingly loud output for the size, but they also report occasional connectivity hiccups and wish for deeper bass without adding a separate subwoofer.
