Pros & Cons
Pros
The speakers are very well built and have a tiny slit at the bottom of each (on the front) to allow the mini-sub or midrange to breathe. They are not audiophile quality of course (you need to go upwards of a $1000 for that sound quality) but they soun... Read More
The combination of walnut and the metal trim and volume knob on the front is clean and beautiful. The quality is top tier. It's worth mentioning that it's substantial and well-constructed.
Audioengine ds1 small desktop speaker stands are the best performing desktop speakers i've found. I have a 49' 1000r display and placed both speakers on the metal 15-degree stands (purchased separately), mounted on a heavy duty articulated arm. I'm a ... Read More
Audioengine a2+ speakers are a fantastic investment for anyone looking to enhance their audio experience without sacrificing space. Supposedly they have an upgraded dac and headphone amplifier. The amplifier within my klipsch promedia 2.
Cons
Right after the warranty expires it went out completely.
There are many other companies out there that act more professionally and properly back their products against manufacturing defects. Don’t fall for the pretty package and forced hype. Treble is poor.
Highlights
Quality
The speakers are simple to install and have a wonderful sound quality.
The speakers feel solid and well-crafted, and their sleek design adds a touch of elegance to my desk setup.
I wanted good pure sound but didn't want something that was going to take up what little remaining real estate i have on my desk.
These are the perfect size and i couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.
Price
So much so i just paid another $50 for these speaker stands (model attached).
In which case, the extra cost would be well justified, and not having on with these is in no way a waste of money.
They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.
For the price, and with the stellar reviews, i expected more.
Shipping
Delivery was speedy, it came much earlier than expected.
I received the speaker yesterday, had it set up in literally minutes.
Packaging/appearance
The product was packaged perfectly and each speaker was encapsulated in their own velvet bag to protect the speaker.
The color of the speakers is perfect and i didn’t notice any imperfections upon opening the package.
Sitting on a box (which brought to ear level).

Airplay was finicky at best to the point of going back to the sonos.
The a2s, sounded thin and lean in comparison.
