I agree. These are my favorite videos to watch
Nice job. Thanks for taking time to demonstrate these speakers.
Excellent video as always! I've been looking for a pair of new speakers actually and I might just pick these up. How would you set them up with a 3 monitor array?
Thanks for the video. Looks like they have heard the complaint and there is now a white version available.
You are the only person thatI I have heard that mentions connecting the usb for the best. audio quality, Do you mind if I ask you where you obtained this information? I haven't been able to find any info on the connections. Thanks for your time. Excellent video and narration.
Nice Vid! Hey where di you purchase that monitor stand with the drawers, looks great?
I looooooove audioengine ❤️ clean video as usual!
Awesome review Amanda!
Can you choose which one is left/right to have the controls on my right hand side?
Great video I really like those speakers
Hey Amanda, Some reviews actually mentioned that the bluetooth connection is always on and that bluetooth audio signals will always take precedence over other connections. is this true? Does it mean that if i m playing stuff from my PC and any 1 within the pairing radius will be able to pair and connect to it and override my music? i m concerned as i live in an apartment.
Definitely need a comparison video 👍🏽

Hey Amanda. Just found this channel. Great job on the review. You are one of the few female reviewers out there that sound "professional", instead of being overly "girly" as most female youtubers are. Instead you actually review the item, instead of talking about how cute they look. Definately earned my subscription! Keep up the great work!

Nice review! I was thinking of replacing my pair of Beoplay S3s with a pair Audioengine A2+. What do you personally think about them? Would you suggest them? If I get them, shall I pick up a separate subwoofer for them? Thanks :)

Comparison with the A2+ would be awesome!
@acidoom3068

They sound the same. Think of the HD3 as an "equipped" A2+. Tweeter and drivers are the same. And while they don't have the same DACs, they perform very good with same audio results. I have tested them both, I recommend both. Real difference comes as in what features are you looking for on these 2 models.
What were the name of the songs you used? Thanks love your videos.

Thank you so much for replying! Just a further question, if you connect the HD3s directly to the PC using the USB cable do you then use an RCA cable to connect the speakers to the subwoofer i.e. from the 'output' of the speakers to the 'input' of the Sub?

+Nolan Braunwarth the D1 is built into the HD3, so there is that..both sound great! How about size, does the larger speaker boxes make any difference to you? I haven’t checked recent pricing but also use that to help you decide. A5+ do have a bit more bass but they don’t compare to the smaller set of speaker along with a sub.

It's ok, I don't think they were trying to be hostile or anything. It's a good suggestion for future vids. The variety of genres you chose were great to show the range of the speakers, bass-heavy songs can only add to that sound test. Great vid regardless, thanks for reviewing those speakers!
you have the right speaker on the left and the left speaker on the right, this is unacceptable!!

@@AmandaWoolsey ah I see, I don’t wanna be that guy but doing that kinda defeats the whole purpose of having stereo speakers. Look into this software called equalizer APO. It allows you to swap the output channels on your computer. That way, the left speaker will output the right channel and and the right speaker will output the left channel, and then because you swapped your speakers you will now have the left audio on the left and the right audio on the right, even though the speakers are swapped :) Learn more here if you’re interested: superuser.com/questions/22514/how-do-i-swap-audio-output-of-the-left-and-right-speakers

All you had to do was read the manual, way to put no effort into a review. Bass reduction is for subwoofer use, no point giving your speakers the job if you have a sub.

Don't know how to say that, but these speakers sounded like a....poor speaker played in a cheap plastic box. I'm not an audiophile (previous owner of Logitech x-540), but it sounds awful, as all those sub $150 speakers (pair)
