I notice some reviewers saying there is too much bass and others saying there is not enough bass.

Nice bass, excellent mids and highs, and you can use an EQ

I purchased these speakers expecting excellent sound and when I connected them to my new PC the sound was awful, mostly bass and no dimension, there is a good chance they are faulty, haven't contacted the company yet.

The bass is amazing

The bass and treble are terrific and are separated as they play

They provide surprisingly good bass and crisp sound.

Awesome bass, loud if you want, easy to set-up

The bass on these speakers is not even remotely suitable

I'd actually classify the bass as boomy and overwhelms the mids, and to a certain extent the highs as well.

The bass is great

Very easy to setup and nice design, however the sound quality is muddy with a recessed midrange and sloppy bass

These speakers are very clear, I can hear things that I couldn't before with my old speakers, and they have enough bass to satisfy most people

I gained clarity, volume amd lack of distortion and lost the bass.

No bass but the clarity is great.

Sounds great but bass is a little weak

Sound pretty good and don't take up too much space, could use a little help on the highs but the bass and mids are great

There's a great bass sound with the rest of the music coming through loud and clear

Bass is so imperfect on these that it makes the speakers feel like $10 junk

nice sound good bass.

These computer speakers are high fidelity with a solid bass response which makes them great for the wide range of sounds I mostly use my computer: Streaming TV, Movies on Netflix or Amazon Prime, etc or playing streaming or saved music from my iTunes library

Nice bass tones.

Really nice bass for computer speakers!

I get enough bass, and most importantly, the sound is clear and "life-like" as stated by

Speakers are pretty good they sound amazing and fancy yet the bass is a bit too high for my taste so you kinda have to lower the bass for normal videos on YouTube or your whole desk will be shaking

Of course, the extreme low bass isn't possible with speakers this size but you really don't miss it unless you are testing for it

Awesome sound quality, and enough bass to fill my room with what I needed!

Powerful speakers, great bass, and sound quality

Great little speakers, good sound, half decent bass, no annoying lights, just a little bit pricey for the quality.

My only complaint is it lacks bass.

The bass is incredible

You can forget about any BASS... the highs and mids are pretty good and clear, but almost all pop music no days are with solid bass signature and these speakers lack it

Speakers lack bass

Love the bass that comes out of these little speakers.

With the singular regret that these speakers don't have any power switch (either on the back or the front), they are fantastic!For such a small form-factor they provide great bass and treble, and provide a nice addition to those with TV's that have an audio output connection

Great bass, mids, and treble.

I truly don't understand how people could praise the bass these things produce

If you are looking for the rich low bass Bose is known for you will need to get one of the Companion series with a sub, this is just little desktop speakers.

Bass is pretty good for bookshelf speakers.

" like a separate subwoofer would, but these things convey some great bass without an actual subwoofer

The bass is a little blurry and treble not very bright

I still enjoy more bass with my

Love these speakers, splurged on these since I decided to upgrade to better speakers and they are worth the money, great punchy bass ugh notes are bright and clear, no distortion at high volume.....

Bought for use with my PC but ended up not liking them so much on a desk for their intended use as there just wasnt enough bass for my liking

I was amazed by how could these small speakers produce some good quality bass, and good sound staging

Do not waste your money, no volume, crappy bass, these are like toy speakers, $99 no way, sent them right back and bought Altec Lansing for $69.99 and they are so far

The bass is good for what I need.

Although they have no sub woofer, they still get good bass tones for speakers of this size.

However, it seems plenty of R&D effort and material costs went into producing fine bass for their size, and then they forgot about every other frequency range

Best small speakers I have ever heard, clear with good bass.

Sound is good but too much bass at times.

horrible.... bass

The bass on these speakers is overpowering when you try to play music and videoclips on the laptop.

The design gives them great deep bass and rich sound.

The bass is good too

However mids are great and bass is very good for the size, but don't expect these to blow your socks off or anything

No need for a sub woofer with these as they have great bass.

They are great, crisp, clear, warm and a good bass even without a subwoofer which I think are unnecessary with these speakers

Limited bass, but that is to be expected.

Love these speakers, splurged on these since I decided to upgrade to better speakers and they are worth the money, great punchy bass ugh notes are bright and clear, no distortion at high volume.....

I'm currently attempting to set up a larger subwoofer, becuase I love me some good bass

Good bass, good clarity.

I love these speakers, the sound is awesome for their size, clear, crisp and with enough Bass to satisfy the most demanding audio enthusiast

Loud and great bass

Really great low bass sound

Good bass

Robust bass without a subwoofer as well.

I tried the output from a dedicated outboard Behringer midi/DAC I use for music production, and the sound was even better and the bass was excellent

Bass is so pronounced that I can't even play music through them at any decent volume without my apartment neighbors hearing the bass loud and clear.

A lot of systems have exaggerated bass which tends to make speech seem "muddy" or muffled

They sound really good, but a little too much bass, which I improved with my PC equalizer.

Based on the great reviews here on amazon I was expecting these to sound much better than they do and have a rich, full sound with good bass

Efficient---Very good bass

However, at louder volumes, the bass is extremely weak while the dynamics seem to drop in quality

Bass is really good in this price range.

The BASS on this is AMAZING

Understandably, they don't have the same intense bass as a Bose surround system, but then that isn't a fair comparison

The bass is stronger than I had expected, which is actually what I was trying to avoid, but they sound so

The bass is also just fine in my opinion unless your passion is making the room shake or playing dubstep obnoxiously loudly.

Very clear and loud but the bass for a Bose was very disappointing.

Also has great bass for not havinga detached sub

They offer relatively decent bass but not that of complete set that includes subwoofer

Ironically, the best sound is a set of the two running together which gives richer bass and higher crisper highs

not enough bass coming out.

The sound is Crystal clear, and it has just enough bottom bass to sufficiently blend the sounds

Bose speakers has always been known for a crisp clear sound with excellent bass notes

These are fantastic speakers with a crisp, clear sound, good bass, very well made.

Extra bass and loudness make the matter more worst

These speakers sound great and get loud, and while they don't have that separate, BOOMING bass that I was used to with my old broken speakers, they certainly have some kick

The bass sucks

Bass is good on these

For music, I would prefer more depth and bass, but those types of speakers cost a lot more

Suprisingly good bass response.

Great bass and treble and mid-range.

I just wish they had enough low-end to satisfy my hunger for strong bass.

I should note that the bass and treble are not adjustable, but for me that isn't a problem.

There are very nice sounding but too much bass

Best computer speakers I've ever used, don't even need my subwoofer!Crisp, clear, clean sound with ample bass and no distortion

It doesn't have room-rattling bass, but it is punchy

With these I can crank the bass and they work consistently

Great highs/mids, like others said, and the bass COULD be louder, but that's a personal preference

For $100 bucks (price at the time) these speakers are fantastic, with a wide range that captures clear highs and mids with not overpowering bass, though it's strong enough to not need a subwoofer for my applications, I use these for movies, music and gaming for long periods each day since I bought

- Doesn't require a DAC or similar to optimize performance - Great bass without a separate sub

Awesome bass, loud if you want, easy to set-up

Very muddy sound with WAY too much bass, and very little treble.

The highs and lows are crisp, no distortion even at a higher volume, and the bass sounds really well for there not being a separate woofer

The sound is not outstanding, the bass is not that good

I need something louder)Bass

It does amazingly well with low frequencies and has a terrific bass

The bass is tremendous, and the highs and mids are crisp and wide

Very good sound and great bass despite no subwoofer.

Basically their only shortcoming is the super low end bass, but then again, they don't have a sub

They have amazing sound quality and can get really loud with great bass

The bass is muddy and overpowering, and the highs and mids lack any detail, making anything but instrumental music hard to listen to; watching video is painful because vocals are overwhelmed by bassy background noise.

Very nice sound, clear with solid bass.

I you want a "bedroom" speaker with decent bass and crisp mids and highs, then get this 2.0 Bose.

The bass is decent and the sound quality is awesome

I thought with the Bose company making them they would sound amazing and have great bass, but they don't

No sub but the bass sounds just fine.

Wow, these are incredible if you dont expect super deep bass- which you shouldnt.

The Bose deliver deep rich bass - and enveloping sound

They sound very good, and I like the bass

The bass was too prominent (not a balanced bass but punchy) and I could not escape it anywhere in the house

The bass on my logitech sub woofer was going bad after about 17 years

They sound good with good bass, good mids and good highs.

Great bass and clean treble, as was expected from Bose.

The bass is even stronger, and is very suitable for medium to medium loud volumes

it has a strong range including a solid bass!

I have read other buyers reviews stating the BASS isn't very good with being a BOSE brand

They are Wonderful!Great bass response, and with the ported back-side, a 3-D sound appears

The bass is so warm, strong, and thumping (just how I like it) and the treble is so crisp

Great quality of sound with reasonable bass and very clear

I wouldn't expect anything else but perfection from a Bose product, the Companion 2 Series III have a great bass sound and a great overall sound!I would highly recommend these to anyone who is unsure on rather to purchase them or not!

Bass are incredible for being PC Speakeras, wow!

In typical Bose fashion, the sound is loud, crisp, and with good bass.

While I could enjoy more bass, for their size, they pack a punch and were certainly worth the $99

They were amazing for their size, had fantastic bass and excellent clarity and volume

There's enough bass to give justice to rock, or rap

I was going to buy a slightly more expensive set that came with a subwoofer, but they were out of stock (and the bass was muddy anyway

Just like my first set, you'll get incredible bass for such small speakers!My first set finally gave up the ghost when the aux speaker jack gave out

If you want them for listening to voice or vocals, you'll find the high tones are much too lacking and the bass is booming and muddy

the inside of the left one was damaged and the bass sounded like garbage.

The bass is deep, but the audio is crisp and clear

Great sound and the bass is more than sufficient even without sub- woofer.

Good sound, good bass, haven't even needed to turn it all the way up yet.

As someone else said in their review, "Very muddy sound with WAY too much bass, and very little treble."

The speakers are smaller and there is only a volume adjustment, but the mids and highs are crisp and there's just enough bass

I had an old set of speakers that had a sub..great bass but not good for apartment living

It has a crisp clear sound with excellent bass notes, I loved it immediately

Bass is overpowering and makes the overall sound muddy.

I do like a strong bass, but I have some pretty decent headphones for that, and out of courtesy to others it's probably best that I don't have a giant subwoofer as well

Nicely fill a large room with decent, quality sound...could use a bit more bass, but Perfect for bedrooms, Rec rooms, etc..

All I hear is the stupid mumbly bass, which I wanna punch in the face so it doesn't get in the way

For someone who doesn't like crazy bass this is not for you

I've read people complainta that there is not enough bass

I love r&b, and Ole Lou and Barry come out crystal clear

They could be a whole lot better with separate bass and treble controls as well as an on light.

They get use for some music playback as well as for some gaming on my Xbox One X.

not quite a great as I had hoped for.

Can seem a bit muffled when playing at low volume, which improves dramatically as you turn up the volume.

The sound is clearer, for me, as good as it will get.

My husband especially loves them as he listens to music only on the computer

The sound is richer, more crisp, and as clear as if I were really in the game world

Bass is obviously not as strong as with a subwoofer, but the best combo of base, mid, and treble I have heard on a stand-alone pair of multimedia speakers of this size.

and they still are as great as I got them

Excellent A+

But I have absolutely no complaints, I've had them for a year and they work as if I bought them yesterday.
