Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers consistently praise the A5+ Wireless for its “seriously loud” output, deep “chunky low‑end” bass, and clean, low‑distortion amplification that rivals the wired A5+ model. They also commend the high‑resolution Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD and the solid MDF build, while noting the speakers’ size, weight, and Bluetooth latency as drawbacks for tight desk setups or video‑centric use.
What Users Say
Everyday owners celebrate the speakers’ powerful, room‑filling sound, easy Bluetooth pairing and premium construction, often saying they “fill the room” without a subwoofer. Recurring complaints focus on the bulkiness, occasional Bluetooth dropouts beyond 50 ft, lack of an app or multi‑room control, and a desire for more treble tweaking.
Common Complaints
Bulky and heavy design, Bluetooth dropouts beyond ~50 ft, ~30 ms latency affecting video sync, relatively high idle power draw, and absence of subwoofer or app‑based features.
What People Are Saying
“"seriously loud" output with "chunky low‑end" and "excellent definition"”
