Pros & Cons
Pros
I am a 50+ yo who pursues great sound without going bankrupt. The sound stage is amazing, but not very forgiving. The power light is a tad bright since the speaker sits at near arms reach, but i was able to use a light dim and now it is tolerable.
I'm not an audiophile by any means, but i think they sound great. I have been pleasantly suprissed. They’re super powerful. They look so sleek.
Close up they're even cleaner and crisper. Pair them with definitive technology and rel subs. They're a definitive mix between studio monitors and luxury home sound system speakers.
Staged right, the detail and crispness of these speakers is phenomenal.
Cons
I resent audioengine wasting my time with false advertising. What a disappointment and what a crummy product. The shielding on these is horrible.
Audio engine speakers have a design flaw and a short life expectancy. It's better to invest money in a higher quality speaker that will last longer. These speakers are complete unbalanced. The audio quality is muddy and lacking in bass.
Perhaps the built in amp just isn't capable of powering the woofers below 70 hz for sufficient bass. These are just too unreliable and require me to disconnect and reconnect.
Bluetooth is soo bad with this speaker.
Highlights
Quality
Heavy, solid build, with rich balanced sound.
High quality speakers their good for small to medium sized rooms.
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.

Definitely needs to be paired with a decent subwoofer to get the most out of these

Without one i dont know how anyone can find the overall sound quality acceptableid say youd be far better off buying a less expensive set of computer speakers that includes one or plan to add one later

Music sounds much better in my office than the klipsch cinema 600 i had been listening to from my apple tv which sounds muddy by comparison
