Our verdict

Audioengine's compact sub adds real bass to a desktop or gaming setup, with a wireless kit in the box. A six-inch driver suits desks and small rooms, not a large home theater.

Overview

Audioengine packs a six-inch front-firing woofer into a sealed enclosure for desktops and gaming rigs where floor space is tight. Dual analog inputs, a crossover knob and a phase switch tune it, and the included wireless kit removes the audio cable.

A compact sub with wireless included makes desk setups cleaner and bass fuller. Its small driver cannot move air like a large theater sub, so big rooms will want more.

Who it's for

Desktop speaker owners, gamers and small apartments get a sub that tucks under a desk. Large living room theaters should choose a bigger driver.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Wireless kit included
  • Compact sealed enclosure
  • Crossover and phase controls
  • USB charging port
Cons
  • Small driver limits deep bass
  • Not for large rooms
  • Heavy for its size
  • Mono output only

Performance notes

A sealed box gives tight, quick bass rather than the boom of a ported design. The crossover sets where the sub takes over from small desktop speakers, and the phase switch aligns timing. Auto standby powers it down when no signal arrives.
