Defective? Disappointed.

Maybe we received a defective speakers, but a good friend swore by them being the best on the market and we were disappointed with ours. The first week, it worked well. After that, it was a constant plug-ed in scenario and did not last much longer than 1 hour unplugged. Why was the window to return only 4 weeks? By the time we realized it was defective we can't even exchange or return. Do not buy, unless they fix whatever is wrong with the internal battery system because there is something…

Pros
  • Amazing sound for the size! Bass really carries and sound is clear
Cons
  • No option to connect to TV or other devices

Great Speaker good for me

The Audioengine 512 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a great little portable speaker. I wanted something that would sound good - yet be small and portable. The speaker met these needs. I highly recommend purchasing these speakers.

Pros
  • Portable Bluetooth Speakers
Cons
  • Not compatible with old versions of Bluetooth

Good but not nearly as good as their other products

Good but not great. I’m much more impressed with the other Audioengine products I have; the D1 DACand A2 and A5 speakers. They get a 5 star rating from me

Great Speaker Held Back By Bluetooth Implementation

This is a hard review to write, I own three other sets of Audioengine speakers and two of their DACs and thought the 512 would be a no-brainer, audio-quality first, no-nonsense purchase. This is the first product I'm not completely impressed with.THE GOOD: This speaker does inherently sound amazing. It sounds like a much larger and more robust speaker and can get very loud. There is a good sense of stereo separation and touches every part of the spectrum in a way that doesn't sound forced. The…

Pros
  • UP TO 12-HOURS play time from the built-in rechargeable Lithium Ion battery.
Cons
  • Requires frequent charging
