Audioengine 5+ (black) price range: $399.00 - $399.99
The good: The Audioengine 5+ powered speakers deliver phenomenal sound and offer simple, attractive styling. They feature two audio inputs and an integrated USB port for charging source devices (phones, iPods). The two speakers can be placed as far apart as needed to optimize stereo separation. A remote for controlling volume is included.
The bad: The speakers aren't cheap, and many will find them to be too large and bulky compared with standard PC speakers. The AC power port found in the earlier model is no longer present, and you can't switch between the two inputs--both are always active.
The bottom line: The Audioengine 5+ powered speakers deliver excellent sound quality and provide a clutter-free way to listen to smartphones, iPods, or any other audio source.

Great speaker makes your life simpler
by Wellliked on February 17, 2012
Pros: 1.turns itself to sleep mode when no line signal present and on with signal. Power saving
2.enough power to rock midsize room with no receiver needed.
3. More of a component speaker sound than PC speaker sound.
Cons: Needs about 6" behind speaker for bass port.
Summary: I use these for streaming audio from Mog, Spotify etc as well as video streams. They are too big to pack up and take along, but excellent for home use. ...
