Typically wireless audio equals poor audio quality, as hard
wired speakers will always sound better. Audioengine has found a cost effective
and sonically effective way to dispel these well known issues. With a
dongle/adapter available for both ipods/MP3 players and computer, there is no
reason any of these commonplace devices cannot become a wireless music source.
If wireless is not something you are after or wish to go a different route,
Audioengine has a few options for you too.
Another qualm with audio equipment is the obtrusive
receiver/amplifier that is a must for any speakers to function. This is also
not an issue with Audioengine, the amplifiers are built right into the speakers
themselves. As long as a wall-outlet is nearby, these speakers can travel
anywhere with only one wire required to make them operable. The top of the A5
speaker is also equipped with an 1/8" audio input and a USB input to
charge your MP3 player simultaneously as it is playing.

No Receiver? No Problem! The Audioengine A5 employs Kevlar woofers for powerful bass, silk dome tweeters
for smooth highs, built-in power amplifiers, truly useful connections, and a
clean industrial design. All of these exceed industry standards and allow the
Audioengine 5 to be the best speakers to integrate perfectly into
your living room, bedroom, or desktop.
Brawn, Brains and Beauty Custom-designed and handcrafted wood cabinets with high-gloss professional
piano finish make the Audioengine5 a true work of art. Audioengine has combined
the best features of powered speakers and offered them at an attractive price.
This multimedia speaker will eliminate the need for a separate
amplifier and will easily accept your Ipod, Iphone or MP3
player directly.
Wireless-ready! The Audioengine 5 has a built-in AC power outlet on the rear panel and a USB
power port on the top panel thats perfect for powering wireless speakers to
stream your music. Check out the Audioengine W1 Wireless Audio Adapter from AV
Express for high-quality wireless options. The AC outlet is also ideal for
powering other portable and home A/V equipment and a second auxiliary mini-jack
is conveniently located nearby.
Small Speakers, Big Bass You won't hear any enhanced super-mega-hyper-monster boomy bass from these
powered speakers. The low end from the Audioengine 5 is real bass, very
near to the originally-recorded music. From rap to classical to movies, you'll
get tight, punchy bass with an awesome growl that will make you smile -
regardless of the volume level.

Great sounding speaker.
I am using this with the wireless adaptor for iphone. Love it that I can stream from iphone through house while playing through these speakers. Sound quality is very impressive, vocals are clear and bass is clean. I have compared this to Sonus and the sound quality with the AudioEngine is truly far superior in sound and build quality.

Best wireless sound I could find
I wanted great wireless sound, I did not care about the price within reason. After auditioning many speaker systems including bose, and sonus, I am glad I chose this Audio Engine. Sound quality is superior and I love the fact that I can stream directly to the speakers without the need for a seperate amplifier. Love it.
