What customers say about "Key Specs"

Audioengine A2+ Wireless 60W Powered Desktop Speakers

That's plenty loud enough when sitting two feet in front of them, and I think that you could sit anywhere in a small room and never run out of power.
No hassle, goes into power saving idle mode if no input for a period of time.
Powerful, well constructed little speakers with great audio qualities.
I can highly recommend these very powerful little speakers, they are absolutely amazing for playing music and video games at my desk.
Personally I'd like to have the option of a removable grill so I can be allowed to prioritise protecting the drivers.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Audioengine A2+ Wireless 60W Powered Desktop Speakers

I have a massive hi-fi on the living room and it's easy to compare. The size is perfect.
Good looking, powered desktop speakers. Very impressive sound for their size.
Small size and bright enamel means they probably look a lot cleaner and better than the speakers they are replacing.
So far the sound is great and they are the perfect size to blend into a room without taking over.
The speakers are reassuingly heavy, but it's well built and with quality connections.

What customers say about "Audio"

Audioengine A2+ Wireless 60W Powered Desktop Speakers

Clear, quality, punchy sound in games( RTS/MMO) & music is equally so, picks up all the little backing lyrics/sounds really well.
Powerful bass and mindrage and treble area razor sharp for a very contained dimensions. Whorth the money.
They do what I wanted them to do, which is give a wider range of frequency and stereo sound for things like movies and concert videos/broadcasts.
The speakers are actually really nice - they look great and the mid and high level frequencies sound in line with something you'd expect from a set of proper studio monitors.
The weakness of deeper frequencies manifests as a lack of 'spaciousness' to the sound.

What customers say about "Features"

Audioengine A2+ Wireless 60W Powered Desktop Speakers

Good quality feel, sturdy, solid weight wooden cabinets.
I also appreciate the straightforward, no-nonsense design and quality materials and construction.
The speakers can connect to your computer via USB so you can control the volume via the computer controls.
Volume control is somewhat awkwardly placed on the back of the power speaker.
The only slight niggle is that the power/volume switch is on the rear and therefore isn't as handy as one would like.
