Audioengine HD3 wireless speakers

Audioengine HD3 6

When our own Bill Henderson reviewed the Audioengine HD3 wireless speakers, he said:

If you judge a speaker by how it is to be used (and you should), then Audioengine’s HD3 wireless speakers are about as perfect as you can get.

That’s high praise for these small bookshelf sized speakers that feature a built-in DAC and have Bluetooth and USB connectivity.
