Professional reviewers praise the A2+ for its versatile connectivity, high-resolution Bluetooth 5.3/aptX-HD streaming, and the combination of a built-in 24-bit DAC with Class AB amplification that yields low distortion and high SNR. They note the compact wooden cabinet and Kevlar drivers provide surprisingly detailed sound for the size, making it a strong choice for desktop and turntable setups. Criticisms focus on the always-live inputs, modest bass extension, and latency levels that could affect video playback.
Everyday users love the speaker's ability to fill a desk or small room with clear, balanced audio and appreciate the hassle-free USB-C plug-and-play connection. The extended Bluetooth range and easy pairing are frequently mentioned as positives. Recurring complaints revolve around limited bass punch and occasional Bluetooth drop-outs when the signal must travel through walls or beyond the advertised 100 ft range.
