I came across these speakers while looking for ways to modernize and streamline my secondary music system. These powered speakers serve to replace an Onkyo stereo receiver and a pair of Infinity speakers, both of which I found pleasing to the ear, but a bit long in the tooth. They had served their purpose, and it was time for something more modern. In pricing a solid integrated amp, either in combination with an external DAC or featuring one, I found that it would set me back, a tidy sum. Adding Bluetooth capability would further complicate and add to the expense. Then there was the matter of finding a high quality set of speakers that were prettier, smaller, and yet still carried enough palpable weight to enjoy challenging music. Cheap speakers abound, but they typically look cheap, and I was not interested in trading down in regard to sound quality. They say all roads lead to Rome. Well, it seemed like all roads were leading me back to the Audioengine HD6s. I read a lot of reviews of the A5+ and HD6, looked at the price, and hoped for the best. I was impressed by the care in which Audioengine packaged the speakers. They came (Triple!) boxed, such that I had packing material strewn about the room before I caught a glimpse of the soft gray bags that come for both speakers and all the peripheral cables. These are pretty speakers up close. If you're familiar with real hardwood furnishings, you can tell that these are veneer over MDF, but they look sharp and feel substantial. I will note that my pair didn't have nearly the reddish tones that the picture on the site features. Much more biased to brown/gray/black tones. Which, I suppose, is more accurately walnut. But I digress. The included cable is of good quality, but I elected to sub in a heavier gauge RCA cable to attach my CD player (Onkyo 7030, also newly-purchased). Everything went together as expected, powered on, and had a reassuring solidity to it. I let the system stand for several minutes to warm up, then loaded in a disk. No malfunctions followed. The speakers played, the remote altered the levels as expected (you have to aim a bit carefully with this remote). After a few disks had played, the bass began to open up. I don't think a long or stultifying break-in is required with these units, but giving them a few days to burn in and seat the voice coils in the speakers before getting too critical of the sound is probably the best course. And onto the sound. If I had to describe it, I suppose "natural" would be the most apt word. These are good sounding speakers, that have the ability to play quite loud and produce punchy bass if it is present in the program material. Now, you're not going to shake coffee mugs off of the table or fully communicate T-Rex footfalls. Physics is physics, and 5.5" drivers can only push so much air. That said, for purely music listening, especially if your tastes run to small group jazz, chamber music, and classic rock, you could easily produce satisfying volume and sweep with these speakers. The caveat being that you're not trying to fill an enormous room. The silk dome tweeter is not as incisive or "hot" as a metal dome. It is quite detailed, but errs on the side of being laid-back and slightly gentle at the top end, rather than being bright or sharp. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a dark upper register. Rather, it lets you look with some depth into the soundscape, while avoiding being unfriendly or strident. The midrange is rendered very well. On a CD such as Bill Frissell's "Guitar in the Space Age", the sound of the guitar, the amp, and the level of overdrive or reverb being used is beautifully drawn. The bass is solid and taut, fairly deep but not, perhaps, as authoritative as some will be used to. The lower registers are in no way boosted. There is no "loudness" feeling to this system. It is not foreflushing in the mid-bass to mask a lack of extension or impress over the short run. Overall, the speakers are friendly, inviting, and non-fatiguing. When paired with a well recorded piece of music, they allow you to think of the sound, not the source, which is good praise for their size and price, I think. One thing to consider is this: if you have the intractable urge to twiddle with EQ levels, these are not for you. They sound how they sound. Unless the source component has some ability to introduce EQ settings into the mix, they are not present on the HD6 itself. For me, this is fine. I almost never use EQs, and choose a source direct option to cut them out of the signal chain if possible. I didn't buy the HD6 simply to play from a component disk player, however. If that had been the case, saving some cash and purchasing the A5+ would have been the wise course. My plans included streaming FLAC audio from a tablet that I would use as a media center. I have found that my (aptX capable) Android tablet (Asus Zen 8) easily paired with the speakers, had a solid BT connection, and sounded great. No issues while sitting across the room, reading an e-book or browsing while the device cast the music to the speakers. The underpinnings for bluetooth and DAC conversion seem solid and well implemented here. I like that incoming signals are upsampled to 24/192. Streaming music from Amazon Prime Music still resulted in a good sound. No glare, no major veiling, no grit or heavy treble attenuation. After playing the HD6 for several days on their own, I paired them up with a Klipsch subwoofer, crossing the sub over at around 65-70 hertz to let them roll naturally in at full volume as the main speakers began to drop off. Integrating a sub can be rather a hassle, but I was able to get a satisfactory blend within about 45 minutes of tweaking. To be honest, the first twenty minutes yielded a good blend, but I kept a/b testing and being obsessive a while longer. The addition of the sub is a somewhat subtle thing, at least with speakers that aren't too anemic in the lower registers. If the change is too obvious, the sub level is probably too high. With the sub in the mix, that hint of authority that is required for upright bass and kickdrums tuned without a lot of polyfill is added in. Very nice. In the end, I'm very pleased with the purchase. They are nice looking, compact speakers, and a lot more. Using a product like this, it's possible to create a very streamlined, uncluttered sound system that will fill a small to midsized room with excellent sound. If all the products that these speakers replace are tallied and checked for cost, it's something of a bargain. It might not seem so, as the price seems a bit princely for a small speaker system, but you would be awfully hard pressed to improve upon it for a similar fee, even with less attractive or integrated components. One last note: some people might consider purchasing these as high end computer speakers. Now, they do sound very nice in the nearfield, with no audible hiss and none of the face-melting over-brightness of a speaker ill-suited to monitor duties. However...they are quite large, and I think they would be overkill for the bulk of your desktop setups. They'd look more at home above a mixing board than flanking a computer screen.

Oh boy. These are expensive. What a pain it was to surpass the guilt of buying them. But I did it. And oh, what a GREAT buy it was. Worth every single penny. Yes, these sounded awful out of the box. Thank god I had read all reviews before panicking. I was wary of having made a mistake. I have a pair of A2 and I can almost agree they sounded better than these out of the box. Thus, give them a chance. They can blow your mind. Just really good in all departments. No weaknesses I can think of. Just really well all-around. Even at low volumes. If you are into electronic music and are playing in a medium sized to large room, consider having a cheap sub, but bare in mind its low end is superb already. Really tight and crisp. Just not ground-shaking. It DOES distort at loud volumes. Make a try by itself first of all. You won't be disappointed. I bought these over the A5+s and am really glad I did it. These little beasts have a built in premium amplifier, DAC, and an AWESOME BLUETOOTH INTERFACE. I was worried I would not use it much because of sound quality compromise (to which I am really picky). But wow, USING aptX (DON'T forget to make sure it is being used!) is REALLY comparable to a cabled connection (normal connection, not audiophile in any way). There are ways to ensure this, just search for it on the internet. Many recent products are able to do it. Only iPhones and iPods can't. Macs certainly do, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I can really pick an aptX connection vs. a normal bluetooth codec connection. I partly associate these speaker's awesome performance to its built in DAC. Using bluetooth ensures you are using the built in DAC and it makes a lot of difference vs. you normal built in DAC from your phone or computer (coming from a 3.5mm to RCA in). These are everything you need. You really don't even need cables. And this just makes me use them more and more. I acknowledge I would sometimes be more lazy to use it otherwise. Oh, and I didn't even touch the fact that they are unquestionably beautiful (especially the walnut model).

When researching speakers I could not find much information about the HD6 from websites other than professional reviewers or from the manufacturer so I suppose I'll write a review after having owned these speakers for over 6 months. I am not an audiophile, but I do research audio equipment and make purchasing decisions as though I were one. Basically I am saying I don't have trained ears.Because of that I can't really make any definitive statements about the audio quality of these speakers. I can say that as a discerning layman I absolutely love the sound of these speakers. I am a proponent of getting your information from those qualified to dispense it so please take my comments as to the audio quality worth a grain of salt. In this review I mean to elaborate upon the hardware/setup and capabilities as I have experienced them. I bought these to reduce clutter in my room. I had a receiver and it required remotes, shutting on an off every time I wanted to use it (They used too much power to leave on), extra space, a separate bluetooth receiver, and wires. It was basically a headache to use so I didn't use it much. These speakers eliminate the need for a receiver and thinking back to what I had before, I am very glad I made this purchase. I have these speakers connected to my television via the Optical input for viewing television/movies. Please note that if you plan to do the same, these speakers only interpret a PCM signal. Dolby digital signals will not play through these speakers. With regular cable on a panasonic Viera television from 2012, most channels use a Dolby signal. Most modern televisions allow you to alter the audio output settings and will convert to one format or the other, but some older ones like mine did not. I've since bought a newer samsung television and it alowed me to change the signal to PCM so now all channels play through these speakers. Even on the older television which did not convert to PCM, without altering any settings it played the audio of my playstation 4 just fine. The PS4 was connected via HDMI to the television, the television directed the audio to the Optical out. My newer television does the same. If after connecting the audio isn't playing, check your television's audio settings to be sure it is playing through the optical out and in PCM format. With automatic settings it will output the format it is given which may or may not be PCM. I use the speakers in equal measure to listen to music. Audiophile communities typically dissuade people from transmitting audio via bluetooth so I was a little hesitant to use bluetooth to play my music on these speakers. I have found that I can't tell the difference and for the sheer convenience I listen to far more music than I used to. There is also an aux input which is the gold standard really, sometimes I use it when I don't want to use bluetooth. The speakers must be on to establish a bluetooth connection (of course) and the speakers have their own remote which can put it into/out of sleep mode. I used a Kill-a-Watt meter to check the power consumption when in sleep and when on. I don't have my readings in front of me but the power usage difference amounted to only a few dollars every year, like 4 or 5 (cost was 7-11$ per year I think). So I choose to leave them on. This means I don't need to fish out a remote when I want to play music, I only need to select it from my list of bluetooth devices and can play music within seconds (without getting out of bed!). Volume is controlled via a knob on the speaker or by the remote. Your audio input device can control the volume up to the max output of what the speaker's volume is set at. These speakers seem to have a priority list when receiving multiple audio signals. I have not tested every situation but I can say with certainty that Bluetooth signals are prioritized over optical. This means I can be watching television and when audio plays through my phone (or whatever is connected via bluetooth) it will mute the television audio and play the phone's audio. There is a very minimal delay when switching sources, probably a second before the phone's audio comes on. What I love is that I can have the phone connected by bluetooth and as long as the phone is not producing audio it will continue playing the other source (television), when I start a song on my phone it switches over. When I pause the song or turn the music off it will switch back to the optical (television's audio output) after a second or two. The transitions are virtually seamless. For movies the speakers have a great low end, but nothing that will shake the house unless at very high volumes. Unless playing in a very large or crowded room I would not worry about these speakers not having adequate volume. If you plan to use them for parties I would do further research. I would venture to guess that they are loud enough for house parties. For playing video games the high and mid ends are excellent. The low end is significantly better than anything that is not a subwoofer. I've no experience with computer subwoofers so whether these are better than small subs I cannot say. I did pair these with an SVS SB2000 subwoofer which is 12" and noted a significant improvement in wow-factor. I used the speakers for a month or two without the sub. When a grenade goes off in a videogame you feel a thud in your chest and sense of terror that was not present without the added subwoofer. Unless at higher volumes without a subwoofer you don't feel the music (as in literally being vibrated by the low end) and you won't really feel explosions in games/movies. I elaborate on this because it was a concern of mine before buying these. I can't say these fail by not having unrealistic, distortedly loud bass though, as speakers I don't believe they could be improved upon significantly. A subwoofer really can't be substituted for as it is simply something that requires a certain size. (More powerful smaller ones though can to some degree imitate a larger sub). TLDR: To replace a full sound system with a receiver, these are amazing. I can hardly imagine going back to my old clunky setup. The high, mid, and low ends were impressive to me but because I like feeling explosions I added a subwoofer to my setup. For music I really don't think I could ask for more. Playing music by bluetooth on these if very simple, as the power draw is low enough that you don't need to turn them on/off so you can connect at any moment. If anybody who has read this has any questions or comments let me know! Thanks for reading.

I love these speakers. I have only had them for 3 days and out of the box, they DO NOT sound good, trust me. Tidal sounded muddled on day 1. You must break in the speakers for 40-50 hours as directed. I tried to accelerate that process by blasting pink noise through them while I'm at class and when I got home I was pleasantly surprised. I was recommended this brand on The Tech Guy show with Leo Laporte many years ago and I only got around to buying them. They LOOK amazing too. I got them in white. I'm glad I opted for the HD6's which are the largest offering because I am upgrading my setup in the future and these guys look HUGE on my desk, which I love. The build quality of the speakers seem excellent. I am buying the AE DAC later for 32 bit. I run an optical cable to my 24bit DAC to my Mac mini for my music production setup. They were well-packaged too. I am buying the A2+'s for my gaming setup. If you're used to having a subwoofer, you're going to want a subwoofer with these. I would recommend getting the S6 because the S8 is just overkill, unless you just think the S8 looks cute..--You will never need to crank the S8 (or even the S6) to 100% for enough low end in your room. I may update my review again once I reach the end of the 50 hour break-in period. I am at hour 15 right now. I am expecting detailed, crisp, clean audio bliss. HOUR 50: YOU MUST BREAK IN THESE SPEAKERS FOR 50 HOURS, YOU SIMPLETONS (I'm referring to the other reviewers here, otherwise they will sound profoundly BAD). I'm at roughly hour 50 and I'm blown away by these speakers. They are an absolute joy. My method was that I searched on Tidal for Pink Noise and looped it overnight every night for several days. They can get loud and they are very detailed. I NEED to buy the S8 or S6 sub. The subwoofer seems like a necessity as my old setup had one and round out the sound nicely. I came from a Logitech Z625.

Everyone who complains about the bottom end response on these speakers must be crazy. Does it boom and shake the room like a stand alone sub? No, but definitely close. It nails all the notes (except for that very bottom end) cleanly even at higher volumes with no distortion. You feel it in your chest more than my 8 inch sub I had on my last set of speakers. Allow these to break in for the recommended amount of time and let them shine. Night and day difference between my old Logitech 5.1 set up. I'm currently running these with analog out of my SB ZXR sound card. These speakers love being turned up. Id go as far as saying you won't do them justice if you don't. 700 is a bit on the steep side for a "consumer" stereo set up. Although as a musician and photographer you get what you pay for when it comes to your equipment. Great flat sound out of the box. I originally planned on getting the Audio engine sub in the future. Although as I approach the 50 hour break in I feel less and less inclined to want a sub for this set up as it feels more and more like it would be overkill for my listening preferences/the size of my room. Id even go as far as saying you could mix music on these but that's not who Audio Engine is really marketing towards. Great overall out of the box experience. Id recommend these to anyone who wants a set of speakers that has every input under the sun. Bluetooth is okay but that's not what I bought these for. I usually keep the antenna unplugged to dodge any Bluetooth bogarting. I will add that these speakers height to your listening level/ distance between the two speakers and their direction will dynamically change your listening experience. Id suggest monitor stands and following the directions on proper speaker positioning for the best possible mix.

I bought 4 sets of studio monitors to test out - all from well known brands. This is the second brand I tested and I couldn't believe what came out of the speakers. Having connected the pair over stereo cable at first, they were ridiculous flat - and extremely low volume to boot. There was no treble, the mids felt like they were under a blanket and the bass seemed like it hadn't returned from vacation yet. The best way I could describe it is like an oversized pocket radio from the 80s. Thinking it maybe a bass / treble setting at the back of the speaker to adjust - but no go. Looked for the remote thinking perhaps some audio controls on them - no go. Thinking it was the cable from my PC to the Speaker, I switched it out to TOSLINK - No change. Powered it on off, downloaded some App online thinking it would help. Again - no change in audio quality. I finally decided to remove the PC from the equation and connected it to via BlueTooth to my iPhone - same issue. And the remote, I kept it upside down on the table and the entire control board came off the face of the remote and the solid aluminum slab left of the remote had nothing in / on it and was left in my hand. At that point I just boxed everything to send back. Some minor positives - They are very nice looking aesthetically - Active speaker has a nice heft to it

They sound fantastic. Only Bluetooth powered speakers I could find that use a class A/B amp va class d. Makes for much better audio channel separation, staging and presence. Also allows external powered subwoofer that really completes the set.
