Product Description
AUDIOENGINE IS AN INDEPENDENT SPEAKER COMPANY BASED IN AUSTIN, TX.
In 2005 Audioengine was founded with a simple goal: Build a speaker that sounds great, is easy to set up and use, and that makes people want to listen to music every day.
Audioengine’s core products are powered speakers; all-in-one music systems which allow you to connect all your devices wirelessly (or wired) for great stereo sound. They started with just one powered speaker, the A5; simple and beautiful, yet versatile enough to be used in your workspace as computer speakers, on stands in your living room, or in a home theater setup.
But the Audioengine team wanted to offer even more for their customers. After years of hard work, the versatility of their products was pushed even further by offering a number of add-on audio products that can be used with existing music systems.
Their passion is to help people hear all their favorite songs as they were meant to be heard and to discover new music and appreciate it with the highest sound quality. And they’re doing exactly what they had planned, which is to change the way people listen to music. Audioengine is now proud to offer a complete line of products that bring the sound quality of professional studio monitors right into your living room, without the inconvenience of multi-device stereo receivers or big clunky passive speakers.
AUDIOENGINE HD3 WIRELESS SPEAKERS
Don’t let their size fool you as this little speaker is packed with much more sound than you would expect.
The HD3 Wireless Speakers are constructed with custom Audioengine components: aramid fiber woofers, silk tweeters, Premium Bluetooth aptX-HD, and built-in power amps wrapped in precision-tuned, hand-crafted cabinets. Clear, full and powerful audio that fills almost any room.

For the features, consumers get a substantial value for the cost. The HD3 sets a new bar for a true just-add-music experience."

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Truth be told, high end audio gear is generally rife with issues, and a lot of it snake oil. And the differences are somewhat minimal.
That being said, there are clear differences as well as strengths and weaknesses to different setups.
This is one of the easier options for strong audio quality for your PC. I got these for the speaker quality and the dac. The DAC is solid but not really great, I think it's clear something with the ESSABRE series chips are going to sound better---but those are also much more expensive. They also start taking up a LOT of space.
With this option, you have everything you need and things work just fine. You'll be happy with the sound quality most likely.
The bass is a bit low, Audioengine has a subwoofer option that might be worth looking into, but again that does add costs and adds space.
I didn't take a star off for it but my product came with a defective cable. It's a standard micro USB and I wound up borrowing one and ordered another from Amazon. They are inexpensive, but it definitely was a bit annoying. Just bad luck on my part I guess, but if it does happen to you, it's something to look out for (the end was plugged up and couldn't be inserted into a USB slot).
Fortunately I do not have the issue with the sound not coming in for a few seconds. Mine comes in right away. I also didn't bother attaching the bluetooth antenna, as I never plan to use it. For me this is strictly for my PC, and in terms of placement it makes little sense for me to do it any other way.
Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and will probably eventually add the subwoofer. There are some alternatives out there, but depending on space requirements and what you already have, they might not really be worth it. But that's always a personal decision.
As it is, these have a great soundstage, are clear, and are very solid in detail.
Oh and a note on the banana plugs, they require a bit of force to get in but they will go in, and you don't need to worry about damage or anything, they're designed to work that way.
Edit- Wound up returning these. The lows and highs just weren't where I wanted them to be. I wound up getting an AudioEngine subwoofer, but it just would not wake up from sleep most of the time, and once you're used to the subwoofer that really reduces the sound enjoyment when it's not coming on (especially as you'll be configuring the crossover for it).
Audioengine took awhile to get back to me, and I wound up deciding to just return everything. I had the subwoofer for less than 2 days and had the speakers for about a week. Now I'm waiting on refunds before I begin my next step. Shipping everything back cost me about $40 (a little more with buying a new cable too), but that's probably better than having $700+ of equipment I'm not happy with and might worry about down the line.
There was a rare mic feedback style crackle I'd heard once or twice a day, not sure if that was going to be a long term issue either, but with everything together I decided that was best for me. I did decide to ding a star.
Hopefully things work out for you if you go with this option. I might suggest going with the cheaper A2+ however and a different subwoofer. As for me, chances are I will just go with a separate dac and studio monitors, and just work with that. Space does become a bit of an issue with that, but I will try and make things work. Or I'll just keep my current speakers, Edifier Exclaims, which are definitely a tier below but are perfectly okay for casual watching, listening and gaming.
I read some reviews which were quite complimentary, so I ordered a pair and… I was immediately disappointed.
While the highs were good, the mids were more noticeable than on the A2s, being somewhat somewhat tipped up to give a bit more vocal presence.
However, the big noticeable loss was in the bass. Even with the bass in the regular (no subwoofer) position, these speakers were very lacking in bass compared to the smaller A2s! While on most any song you can feel air moving out the A2 ports - but much less from the H3s.
In short, while the A2s sound a lot like a more expensive high fidelity speaker, the H3s sound more like a good computer speaker - rather faint praise, I'm afraid.
I don't know why Audioengine changed their house sound, but the H3s look good but don't sound great.

Update 23/01/2019 Firstly I am no audiophile but I do listen to music a lot and would like to think I know when it sounds great. Yes it sounds great even spectacular from these speakers. Also the 3rd photo will show the Audioengine S8 subwoofer which arrived today, makes my listening experience all that much richer. Steely Dan - Cousin Dupree has blown me away even though I’ve heard it a hundred times before. Still jiggling about with the all important 3 knobs on back of sub, volume, crossover, phase to get the perfect rich balance for me.

Would have been a welcome addition to support optical + HD sound but good enough.
Come on Audioengine fix this problem with an upgrade soon please. The sound quality of you speakers is good-excellent.
