Audioengine A5+ vs JBL EON ONE Compact

Verdict

Overall, the Audioengine A5+ receives positive reviews for its high-quality sound, solid build, and diverse connectivity options. Some reviewers note that the speakers have a bit of coloration and are not reference monitors, but are still enjoyable for party listening. Some reviewers mention issues with the power button placement and volume knob, as well as occasional feedback noise. However, many reviewers recommend pairing the A5+ with a subwoofer for a fuller sound. Despite some minor drawbacks, the A5+ is considered a great value for its price point and is highly recommended for desktop or small room listening.

Verdict

The JBL EON ONE Compact has a good balance of bass and high frequencies, but the bass can distort the highs when both are on max. The speaker comes with a backpack for easy transportation and can charge select devices through its USB ports. It has undergone a 100-hour stress test to ensure its durability. Overall, the JBL EON ONE Compact is a well-regarded product from JBL Professional.
