About the Audioengine B2
Quality tunes, good looks, and wireless convenience
The Audioengine B2 (pictured in zebrawood) adds atmosphere and style to any room.
Quality tunes, good looks, and wireless convenience
The Audioengine B2 wireless speaker is attractive, easy to use, and delivers the company's renowned sound. It's packed with the same driver array as the Audioengine A2+ speaker pair, a Crutchfield customer favorite. Silk dome tweeters produce smooth highs, and custom Kevlar woofers keep the mids and bass tight.
Music flows wirelessly from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone, tablet, or PC. A fine-tuned antenna with special circuitry gives you 100 feet of wireless range to move around in freely.
A sound purpose
Along with its striking looks, the hand finished wood cabinet also serves an acoustic purpose. Its solid MDF construction silences resonance that can be detrimental to sound quality. Carefully designed and strategically placed bass ports enhance the low end from the powerful Kevlar woofers, while minimizing air turbulence that can detract from the clarity of the bass. You'll find the ports on the front panel when you remove the grille.
Bluetooth with the aptX® advantage
Audioengine hasn't sacrificed audio quality for convenience. For the best of both worlds, the B2 features aptX audio coding. This advanced type of Bluetooth wireless streaming retains virtually all the detail of the audio signal it carries. And the system is backwards-compatible with earlier forms of Bluetooth. So you can play your music wirelessly from almost any portable device and still enjoy outstanding sound.

Extended Range: The B2 Bluetooth speaker system also has special circuitry and a precision-tuned internal antenna to extend the wireless range (up to 100'), providing much more versatility than many other Bluetooth speakers on the market.
Secure Simple Pairing (SSP): With Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), you can easily pair a Bluetooth-enabled device to the AudioEngine B2 speaker system with a single button press and without having to enter pin codes or go through complicated settings.
