The Audioengine HD3 speakers are one of the best ways to get into Hi-Fi audio, thanks to the built-in DAC and headphone amplifier. These additional features come at a fairly hefty price, but we think they’re well worth the money.

In June, I reviewed the surprising Audioengine HD6 powered speakers. Playing a Bluetooth device through the HD6 speaker is the best sound I know of for the money. No, it isn’t quite truly high-end, but it sure is satisfying for a price most people can afford. I’ve personally owned a pair of Audioengine A2 powered

The new HD3 speakers by Audioengine combine their sleek sound with Bluetooth functionality. Are they worth the $399 price tag or did Audioengine fall short?

The sound quality is excellent, except for weak bass, which is to be expected from such small speakers.

Audioengine HD3 Review (Page 1 of 4) | APH Networks

I recently submitted a paper to an academic journal for peer review. After about a month, I got an email from the editor with the decisions and recommendations. Although a typical submission to a journal of this caliber gets looked at by three to five experts in the field, my paper was reviewed by only two people, to which both had completely opposite opinions. The first reviewer absolutely hated it; claiming my work had no novelty and no value. On the other hand, the second reviewer absolutely loved it; stating my work was highly novel and gave it a best paper award nomination. As I began to write my official response to the editor and reviewers, I also realized this process seemed like something I used to be very passionate about: Internet forum debates. When I was a young child, I often engaged in long, pointless forum debates to convince my e-opponents the validity of my assertions. And what makes this any different? Whoever Reviewer 1 is, he may have a PhD in Electrical Engineering, but he does not know who he is up against -- I have over ten years of experience in debating people on the internet! Jokes aside, it seems elements of one thing can be adapted to another to fit its context for their similarities, despite their differences. A little less than a year ago, I reviewed the Audioengine HD6, which, in my opinion, are some of the best desktop speakers money can buy. However, just like how I needed to tone down my official response to my academic peers rather than formulating it like an actual forum debate for practical reasons, the HD6 is not practical in many applications either simply due to its sheer size. Therefore, in order to make it fit for more people, Audioengine took what they learned in the HD6, and did as much as they could to fit it into A2+'s form factor to make the HD3 we are reviewing today. How well will this work? Read on to find out!
