- The new HD3 audioengine speakers are now available for $ 359 (around £ 267 / AU $ 550)
- Bluetooth and USB-C shelf speakers for high-resolution audio
- 60W class AB amplification and a high output headphone amplifier
The highly qualified Audioengine HD3 desktop speakers have been out for a while: the first generation was launched in 2016, and both speaker technology and audio formats have evolved a bit since then. Last year, Audioengine updated its largest HD4 models to take advantage of some of the most recent developments, and now the same is done with the most compact HD3.
Like the previous model, the new audioEngine HD3 Next Gen (2025) speakers are once again designed to sit on a desk or shelf, and are particularly suitable for nearby field listening with laptops and desktop computers.
But now they have Bluetooth incorporated with APTX HD, as well as a powerful headphones amplifier. And they have also been given an important high resolution audio update.
Audioengine HD3 Next Gen (2025): key features and prices
The new audioengine HD3 Next Gen (2025) speakers have an updated DAC, which is 24 bits instead of 16 bits, and also have audio without USB-C losses, so they can connect directly to the USB-C port of their machine and attract the highest quality sound than the best music transmission services have to offer.
The headphones amplifier is an OPA2134 high output amplifier that generates up to 380MW in 32 ohms.
The frequency response is 65Hz to 22 kHz (the largest HD4 are lower in the bass), which should be fine for a nearby listening without requiring an extra low range blow, and the close field listening is, of course, for which these speakers have been designed. If you want a S6 -inch S6 S6 S6 Audioengine S6 inches, it is reduced to more underground 33Hz.
The integrated amplifier is an analog class AB amplifier with a 30W peak per channel, instead of the most traditional class D amplification that awaits here; This has the potential to make them more dynamic and more clear in the details.
The speakers are a 2.75 -inch woofer and a 0.75 -inch tweeter. The cabinets are real wood, not MDF, and there are improved piano targets of high bright piano, royal walnut and satin black sheet.
Given its small size and some great specified decisions, they are seen as interesting potential candidates for our list of the best stereo speakers when it comes to something compact and active. We hope to be able to give you a test.
The AudioEngine HD3 Next Gen is available in the US. For $ 359 and the S6 Sub is $ 299. The United Kingdom and other prices and availability have not yet been announced, but the HD3 price works before taxes such as £ 267 / au $ 550.
