Audioengine A2+ Wireless

No, the Audioengine A2+ Wireless speakers do not have a built-in subwoofer, as they rely on a 2.75-inch aramid fiber main woofer and a 0.75-inch silk tweeter in each small cabinet. However, they do feature a variable RCA output on the back specifically designed to connect to an external powered subwoofer if you want deeper bass. The speakers also output excellent low-end response for their compact desktop footprint.

Yes, the speakers feature a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack headphone output located on the front face of the left speaker. When you plug in a pair of wired headphones, it automatically mutes the main speakers. The volume knob on the front also controls the headphone volume directly.

The Audioengine A2+ Wireless utilizes aptX-HD and aptX-LL (Low Latency) Bluetooth codecs, along with standard SBC and AAC. This allows for high-fidelity, CD-quality audio streaming from compatible Android devices and Apple devices. The integrated USB input also bypasses Bluetooth entirely for completely lossless audio playback from a computer.

The original Audioengine A2+ was released in 2013 and featured only wired connections via USB and RCA. The newer Audioengine A2+ Wireless adds a built-in Bluetooth receiver to the exact same high-fidelity analog amplifier and drivers. The Wireless version allows you to stream audio directly from your smartphone without needing a physical cable.
