Just got some AudioEngine A5+ speaker and they blow my mind


Ive been listening to headphones, DT 880's and IEM's shure 846's with either the Fiio 17 or the Cambridge Music DacMagic + ( dacmagic wins ). I just got the audioengine bookshelf speakers and running them through the fiio has blown my mind compared to the headphones. Closing your eyes you can point to where every instrument is being player on the stage in front. My mind was and is still being blown. I am now a speaker person

Years ago I got the A2+ to check out what the hype was about. Complete rubbish. There was an audible disconnection between the woofer and tweeter, it was not seamless at all. I had them sitting in free space with the little stands for them and everything.

The Creative Labs T3 2.1 killed it for bass (no surprise because its a sub/speaker 2.1) but more importantly killed it on clarity, clean highs and transparency. All the audiophile stuff we look for.

So I did not bother with the A5. But I don't want to write it off as its a different product and gets reviewed very well. Maybe those who have had the A2 and A5 can let me know what they thought comparing them.

So Far the best headphones in my opinion SteelSeries Arctis 7P Wireless Best Gaming Headset PS4

these headphones are also awesome but for me i go for customized headphones and i don't think that i have to use ordinary ones when i have an option to customize them.
