  • Abstract:  Audioengine was kind enough to send me their newest product: the AW1. My experience to date has been fantastic. Read on for more details, but be sure to watch my first ever video review. I know, I know, it’s not the most polished of video reviews, but ...

  • Clear, high-quality sound transmission, No dropouts, Simple setup
  • A bit costly
