Vizio SB3620n-H6
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Audioengine A2+ Wireless is a compact 2.0 powered desktop speaker system delivering up to 60 W peak power with high-resolution Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity and excellent clarity. Its limited bass extension and occasional high-frequency instability at max volume may disappoint bass-heavy listeners. Ideal for small-desk or near-field listening where space is at a premium.
The VIZIO SB3620n-H6 offers 2-channel sound with 180 W output, clear audio and app-based EQ in a water-resistant design. It lacks a dedicated subwoofer and its maximum volume is modest, limiting performance in larger spaces. Best suited for budget-conscious users with small to medium rooms.

Professional reviewers commend the A2+ for delivering studio-grade clarity and punch from a compact enclosure, noting its high SNR, low distortion, and solid MDF construction.

Consumers appreciate the A2+ for its big, clear sound relative to its size, easy Bluetooth setup, and desk-friendly design. The most common criticisms revolve around thin bass response, the absence of accessories such as stands or a subwoofer, and occasional high-frequency instability when pushed hard.
Professional reviewers commend the VIZIO V-Series sound bar for delivering clear, balanced audio and effective virtual surround in a compact package, highlighting its easy setup, stylish design, and useful app-based EQ controls.
