Pros

Cambridge dac has the best audio quality of any of the reviewed devices. The soundstage is outstanding, but the sound stage is not very forgiving. Audioengine also has a dac, the audioengine d1 24-bit dac which has a headphone jack but the question do... Read More

Audioengine a5+wireless is a solution i've been looking for, for a long, long time. The bluetooth connection sounds better than any bluetooth speakers i've tried. The pairing works quickly and solidly. I read prior reviews that the a2 is probably bett... Read More

Bass response is very strong, so i'm thinking most cases you won't need to add a subwoofer. The amplifier itself uses extra large size gapless core toroidal transformers which have a tighter radiated magnetic field, directly translating to lower noise... Read More

Cons

First it happened in one of the speaker pairs (presumably it is the amplifier that gives in - potentially capacitors reaching end of life? The sound is very muddy. It is just the left one has a defect or may be the amplifier circuit is faulty.

The a5+ has a massive heatsink on the back (addressing the problem of overheating common to the a5), but it is insufficient. For the money this is a horrible value and not what i was expecting after all the misplaced rave.

They still have some decent bass but nothing that's going to shake your walls (or floors) unfortunately, the thing that's very clear once you plug them in is the terribly boomy and muddled bass. Although the a5's provide a healthy low bass, the high r... Read More

Hard to discern if they are any better at all than my small bose pc speakers. Audio engine along with bose and other companies merely employs people in the u.

Highlights

Quality

High quality speakers their good for small to medium sized rooms.

Heavy, solid build, with rich balanced sound.

Bluetooth started to fail after two years.

I spent the better part of six months trying to find a quality bluetooth bookshelf speaker for my andover turntable.

Price

For the money this is a real winner and i recommend it for anyone looking for a bluetooth speaker set upper home, office or.

All around these are a great buy at this price for a mid range audio setup.

For the money, these speakers are truly unbelievable!

I had to spend well over $800 to get something that only approaches it.

Shipping

I messaged audioengine and they had a brand new unit out to me without any questions within a few days.

What actually prompted me to leave a review today is the excellent customer service i received this morning when reaching out o... Read More

Packaging/appearance

I also liked that everything you need to get setup is in the box, and the instructions were clear and easy to read.

Upon opening and checking contents i was happy to see they were in fact still new.

You could clearly see where old mailing labels had been cut off of original packaging.

I bought it to use on my desk for monitoring audio samples while editing videos, recording, and listening to music, and there's... Read More

Competitiveness

They met my goal of being much better than my old speakers (the brand that starts with a b and ends in ose).

Also, the bluetooth connection sounds better than any bluetooth speakers i've tried, and the pairing works quickly and solidly.

I've tried many solutions over the years - klipsch, bose, svs and many other brands you've never heard of.

The companion 3 is no longer sold in the us, only the companion 2 is, so i had to look elsewhere.
