It impressed me and I happily recommend it. That is what makes the Audioengine B2 Premium Bluetooth speaker a real stunner. Yes, you can find lower priced Bluetooth speakers for your home, but good luck find one that combines high-end looks with equally high-end sound quality. Even videos that showed people taking directly to the camera did not have any problems that I could see. Bluetooth has a delay of about 30ms (milliseconds), but I did not notice any lag in audio while watching videos. In addition to listening to music either streamed from Pandora or from my own MP3 library on my MacBook Pro, I also used the speaker while watching videos on my laptop. Some of the songs that I listened to during my review testing: One of the reasons why this speaker sounds so good is that it uses aptX (along with other codecs) which is a high-quality Bluetooth audio codec. And at higher volume levels audio remains clean and clear. Dubstep fans may find the bass somewhat lacking, but I have no complaints. Through this speaker music is full and rich with an excellent bass that isn’t too thumpy, but still easily fills a room. Now I find that my music sounds so much better. I hadn’t realized how mediocre the music sounded until I switched to the B2. I like to stream music through Pandora and usually have the audio coming through my LG monitor. I have been testing the B2 speaker for several weeks and I can’t find one thing about it that I don’t love. Basically you just turn on the speaker which puts it in pairing mode, go to your device and search for Bluetooth devices, click on Audioengine B2 when it shows up in the list and you’re done. I tested the B2 with my Macbook Pro and LG G3 smartphone. You can connect a device using the auxiliary input jack on the back or more likely, you’ll pair the speaker with your computer, phone, tablet or other Bluetooth enabled audio device. The Audioengine B2 speaker has two connection choices. The cool part is that the grill is magnetic and easily snaps on or off the front of the speaker. I like the look of the B2 speaker without the grill on the front.īut if you prefer the grill, it comes with one that has a grey knit fabric over a plastic frame. I had been using it without one for a couple of weeks until I asked about it and then learned that it was in the same package as the instruction booklet which I hadn’t opened □ I had been testing the speaker in a small room so I had not run into any issues with Bluetooth connectivity. The funny thing is that I didn’t know it came with an antenna. If you plan to stream music to the speaker from any distance, you’ll want to attach the included Bluetooth antenna.
