  • As noted by others, potentially great speaker ruined by bad bluetooth
Although this speaker sounds very good for the price in many genres of music (classic rock, oldies, jazz, soft rock, world, etc) I noticed a specific and glaring sound reproduction problem which was present in numerous songs from the hard rock and heavy metal metal genres (e.g. from bands like AC/DC, Halestorm, etc.) I contacted Audioengine and one of their representatives, at my request, did some testing of a particular song which highlighted the problem by comparing how it sounded on the 512 (which only offers SBC bluetooth) versus how it sounded on one of their other models which offers the more advanced Apt-X and AAC bluetooth codecs. His reply confirmed: "It seems most prominent with the distortion used in the synth/guitar tracks in the chorus of that track. The specific way that track was mastered, with the distortion effect they used, typically doesn't 'play nicely' with the SBC codec. When streaming the audio via Bluetooth to our A2+'s, the audio sounded the same as when using a wired connection -- which would make sense considering the A2+'s utilize the aptX and AAC codecs (in addition to SBC). Though I'd love to have a way to resolve this for you, unfortunately we do not have a firmware update that can be applied to allow the 512 to support aptX. I can certainly respect if this is a deal-breaker for you with the 512, but I'd rather be honest about the results of our testing with this particular song than to act as though another unit will behave differently with this track." As you can see from that reply, it confirms the issue is not just with my 512 but with all of them. It manifests because the 512 only offers the SBC codec whereas it doesn't manifest on their A2+ speaker with Apt-X and AAC. Lastly, in response to my request that they provide an updated firmware to resolve this issue on the 512, they declined. In a follow-up message, I asked if the 512 was being discontinued or if a replacement was forthcoming. The rep indicated an updated model was not planned at this time. I find it very disappointing that Audioengine has acknowledged the issue as being present in all 512s and yet, despite the fact there is no upcoming replacement and they are continuing to sell the 512 to customers, they won't provide a firmware to resolve the situation. As such, due to this confirmed issue with the 512 and no resolution, I have no choice but to return mine and make others aware of this deficiency via this product review. ... show more

  • Very musical speaker, but can't do loud or bass.
I really wanted to like this speaker, I love a number of other Audioengine products, in fact I just gave a friend a pair of A2+ speakers for a birthday present. It has a very clear balanced sound, sounding like a more traditional audiophile speaker than a typical bluetooth speaker. If you listen to jazz, classical, vocals at moderate volume, these are probably better than just about anything else in a portable form factor. My issue was that if you like your music above moderate levels, it does start to sound harsh, and the bass distorts. It also does not really play bass below about 100hz or so. Also if you play music like EDM or some Pop that has lots of bass, it can distort at even moderate volumes. Adding some EQ into the sound to compensate for the bass just creates distortion too. I listened to it with Bluetooth and it sounded ok, but I could hear some compression artifacts from the Bluetooth codec. I preferred it with the Line In/AUX input it had more clarity and smoother sound. The speaker has four small rubber nubs on the bottom to stand on. I didn't like how wobbly it was on them, and it's easy to tip over. From a design point of view those feet can't be good for the sound, as the speaker does not have a solid footing (which usually affects bass and even treble in some cases). The speaker is also heavier than it looks, and if you travel and have weight considerations for baggage, this might be an issue. Overall I still prefer the Bose Soundlink Mini II for sound quality, it has good sound, gets very loud, and has prodigious bass. With the Aux/Line in as source it does a surprisingly good job, and it's smaller and lighter. ... show more

  • solid bass and midrange, rattly distorted high end
Bought this to have music around the house and outside. Tested it out, sounded incredible for 2 or 3 seconds and then i noticed that the top end sounds like distorted, blown out macbook speakers. It's a problem with bluetooth audio, so nothing to do about it. aux straight in sounds great though.

  • Great, wide sound
The sound is wide and nicely detailed. Almost sounds like it has tweeters. Flat response with no big boost in lows, mids or highs. Buy for sound quality, not booming bass or loud volume.
