Having a surround sound setup for your computer is great if you want to watch movies or play games with the best experience possible, but it’s a real pain to set up all those speakers in most rooms with a desk and a computer. It’s not your living room, after all. Bose understands that, which is why they designed their Companion 5 Multimedia Speakers. While technically they’re a mere 2.1 setup, with a subwoofer and two satellite speakers, they sound much, much bigger than that.

That’s because they’re designed to throw sound around your room, creating the illusion of surround sound without the hassles of setting one up. You won’t need a fancy sound card to use them, either; they plug into your computer via a USB port. They’re the perfect solution for someone who wants to turn their computer into a home entertainment center without running cables and satellite speakers all over the place.

Setting up a home theater setup can be a huge pain, especially if you’re not the kind of person who loves delving into the nitty gritty of wiring and speaker placement. When you buy every component separately you have so much to worry about, from whether your receiver is too powerful for your speakers to how everything will go together aesthetically once you get it all set up. And you just wanted to be able to watch movies.

Don’t worry, Bose has your back. The GS Series II DVD Home Entertainment System is a cinch to set up right out of the box, and since it’s all designed to work well together you won’t have anything to worry about in terms of compatibility. Able to play CDs and DVDs as well as play AM/FM radio, it’s perfectly expandable if you decide to add a HD DVD or Blu-ray player sometime in the future. It’s the fastest way to get from standing in the store to sitting on the couch enjoying a movie there is, with pretty great-sounding results to boot.
