Audioengine's popular A2+ Wireless 2.0 speakers are currently available at a reduced price for Prime Day, with the white model costing $223 and the red variant priced at $209. These discounts represent a notable departure from their usual retail price of approximately $279, and such sales are infrequent.
Praised by audiophiles and frequently featured in desktop setups, the A2+ Wireless speakers are recognized for their impressive sound quality relative to their compact size. They function as powered speakers with an integrated DAC, negating the need for a separate amplifier. Connectivity options are abundant, including Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX-HD support, digital audio via USB-C, and traditional analog inputs through a 3.5mm jack or RCA cables.
Each speaker delivers around 30W of peak power per channel, totaling 60W. They are engineered with a 2.75-inch aramid fiber woofer for low to mid frequencies and a 0.75-inch silk dome tweeter for high-end clarity. The sound signature is characterized by warm mids, clear treble, and sufficient bass for their form factor, making them suitable for music listening, gaming, and general media consumption.
While generally well-received, minor enhancements can further optimize the listening experience. The inclusion of angled speaker stands, such as Audioengine's DS1M or Kanto's S2, is recommended to better direct the tweeters towards the listener's ears, potentially refining the treble response. For those seeking to maximize bass output, adding a dedicated subwoofer is also an option.
The A2+ Wireless speakers come with a standard three-year warranty. Their durability is highlighted by accounts of them functioning reliably for approximately five years under continuous use. This longevity, combined with their audio performance and ease of setup, makes them a compelling choice for users who prefer not to wear headphones for extended periods.
