Audioengine A2 review

 

Audioengine A2s are active desktop speakers. The price is right – and the size is too. But if your priority is outright fidelity, there are compelling

Compact ; nicely finished ; fearsomely dynamic and attacking given their size

Some midrange coarseness ; an expected lack of scale

The price is right – and the size is too. But if your priority is outright fidelity, there are compelling alternatives

Your computer and MP3 player deserve better than those plastic speakers you bought at the airport. How about these Audioengine desktops…

The best desktop speakers we’ve heard, and astounding value for money

If you're serious about music but you currently listen to tunes through a pair of tinny, cheapo PC speakers, check out Audioengine's £110 inc VAT A2 speakers. They can fill a room with sound without taking up much physical space.

The Audioengine A2 speaker set should be on the short list of anyone who values good musical reproduction over chest-thumping bass. If you're not sure into which camp you fall, you can order directly from the company, audition the A2s for up to 30...

Audioengine A2

 

The A2 from Audioengine offers internal power and a compact size allowing it to fit nicely on your desk: but how good is the sound? We take a look.

Great, clear sound

Only adequate bass, fiddly volume controls

The Audioengine A2 speaker set offers good musical reproduction rather than chest-thumping bass.

Accurate music reproduction

Need a subwoofer if you're after tooth-rattling bass for movies and games

These small, elegant-looking speakers serve up musical bliss.

Small, elegant-looking speakers ; Fantastic music reproduction

Bass-heads need not apply ; Volume control resides on back of left speaker

Audioengine A2 Desktop Speaker Review

 

Small dimensions, a pretty finish, power to spare, and two accommodating inputs, you can be sure Audioengine's Desktop A2 speaker system will augment your CD player, DVD player, computer, game console, portable music player, or any other product with a...

Beautiful appearance ; Great frequency response ; Strong bass output ; Nice warranty and return policy ; Portability

High treble, but not loud enough ; Inconvenient volume knob placement ; No speaker covers

Audioengine A2 Speakers

 

If you think deploying a subwoofer is a prerequisite to obtaining big-time bass, you haven't heard Audioengine's A5 speakers. And if you're convinced you need huge cabinets for thumping bass, you haven't heard the company's new diminutive A2 system.

Amazing sound in a tiny form-factor. No subwoofer necessary

Lacks the front-mounted volume control and USB port charger of the A5

While an all-around solid system, the A2’s volume control would be much handier if it were located on the front of the cabinet, and we miss the convenient USB charging port that the A5 boasts. But we have no complaints with the A2’s sound—it rocks,...

Audioengine A2

 

If you think a deploying a subwoofer is a prerequisite to obtaining big-time bass, you haven't heard Audioengine's A5 speakers. And if you're convinced you at least need cabinets as big as those of the A5, you haven't heard the diminutive Audioengine A2.

Amazing low-end frequency response from very small boxes; Kevlar woofers and silk drivers; MDF cabinets

Lacks two of the best features found on the Audioengine A5; amp is adequate only for near-field listening or small rooms

But we have no complaints with the A2’s sound—these little puppies rock, delivering spectacular sound with a wide variety of tunes. They don’t get as loud as some larger systems we’ve auditioned lately, but they’re easily the speakers to beat at this...
