History
Since its inception in 2005, Audioengine introduced its initial offering, the A5 powered speaker system designed for desktop and home use. The product line grew with the release of the A2, a compact desktop speaker featuring wooden enclosures and refined sound quality. This model was subsequently upgraded to the A2+, which added Bluetooth capability for wireless audio streaming.
The company expanded further by launching the HD Series, a collection of high-fidelity powered speakers suited for various listening settings. Additionally, Audioengine unveiled the B2, a portable Bluetooth speaker engineered to deliver premium sound performance in small to medium-sized spaces.

The A2+ received acclaim from New York magazine's "The Strategist," which named it the "Best Overall Desktop Speaker" for 2024. It also earned favorable evaluations from TechRadar.
Wired recognized the B2 as a notable competitor within the premium Bluetooth speaker segment, emphasizing its design excellence and superior wireless streaming capabilities. Audioengine broadened its offerings to include digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and wireless music receivers such as the B1 Bluetooth Music Receiver and the D1 DAC/headphone amplifier, both garnering positive critical reception.
According to PCMag, the B1 Bluetooth Music Receiver provides "a straightforward method to stream high-quality wireless audio throughout your home."
