What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Audioengine A5+ Premium Powered Speaker Pair
- The product itself is definitely heavy. It has weight to it which made me happy
- I got the black version and it looks great beside my turntable, most importantly it doesn't take much space - it's not a small desktop speaker either.
- I really like the size, feel and weight of this pair!
- They are made well and you can tell just by the weight.
- I've long been a believer that weight has a bearing on quality. Obviously, not an absolute, but weight/sturdiness is important. These are very solid

What customers say about "Audio"
Q Acoustics BT3 Active Powered Bluetooth Speakers
- I am amazed by these little speakers! Whilst not being the final word in HiFi, they are certainly better than expected. I play mostly vinyl with these speakers and they have plenty of depth and clarity.
- V happy with these, sound quality excellent. It took a week for the speakers to sound the best. Its a well rounded sound, quite even tone suitable for wide variety of music and watching movies.
- They just sound quality...balanced and a pleasure to listen to.
- The sound quality is amasing. Have it connected to my TV and it produces sound much better than the soundbar I previously had connected.
- Sound quality is good , not exceptional but you can't fault them at this price
- I do have some slight reservations about a fairly lightweight Bass, however, I have connected a cheap subwoofer to them and they sound superb.
Audioengine A5+ Premium Powered Speaker Pair
- They sound as the majority of the reviews has stated is nothing short of fantastic. They speakers get VERY loud and VERY full.
- I have these hooked up to my Audio Technica LP120 turntable, and they sound fantastic.
- These look great and sound very good. They produce lots of dynamics and volume for such small speakers
- The sound in these little speakers is fantastic. And the bass response is just as good as advertised
- The sound isn't perfect but is very good, and may even be the best you can do for the price
- The sound is great at low volume. If the sound is turned up to 50% the bass distorts and puts out a feedback sounding irritating hum.

What customers say about "Features"
Q Acoustics BT3 Active Powered Bluetooth Speakers
- Music system? Wireless iPod dock? Soundbar? The Q-BT3 does the job of all three - and it sounds brilliant
- The BT3 have a couple of advantages like an optical and a subwoofer output
- They are very usable with multpile inputs - even the Bluetooth sounds good.
- They automatically switch off after 20 minutes or so of inactivity. The worse part here is that after you switch them back on it might take a while for the bluetooth connection to srart working again
- It also doesn't remember volume level when turned off.
- Unfortunately the remote control has such a narrow angle of operation I can't actually use it to turn the volume up or down at all unless I get up and walk over to stand directly in front of the speaker at exactly the right height.
Audioengine A5+ Premium Powered Speaker Pair
- With a google chromecast audio with wifi streaming music, the audio quality is top notch and they shine.
- They look absolutely fantastic with a nice glossy white finish.
- Comes with everything in the box: remote and cables (some other studio type speakers do not include these)
- Packaging. They come with bags for the cables and the speakers. Very nice touch as you would not want to damage these in transport.
- I miss adjusting the audio in terms of treble, mids, bass, etc. I have a feeling they would be even better if hooked them up to an external audio amp
- Wired. You will have to deal with old-fashioned speaker wire which is hard to hide. But this is a small price to pay for the sound.
