Audioengine A2+ Wireless vs Logitech Z407

Which is the better buy? Side-by-side on rating, price, strengths, and watch-outs — with the published ratings we averaged to get there.

The short answer

Audioengine A2+ Wireless comes out ahead by a narrow margin (4.7 vs 4.4). The gap is mostly about music-first listeners on compact desks who want hand-built audiophile quality and don't need a subwoofer — read the strengths below before deciding.

Higher ratedRanked #1 in Best Desktop Computer Speakers

Audioengine A2+ Wireless

4.7

$300

The A2+ is the audiophile compact pick — hand-built wood cabinets, Class AB amplification, and the most refined tonal balance of any speaker in this round-up. At $300 it's roughly double the Edifier R1280T and Klipsch ProMedia 2.1, but the build quality and warranty justify the premium for serious music listeners. Skip it if you need cinematic bass — pair it with an Audioengine S6 sub if so.

Strengths

— 60W Class AB amplifier — cleanest powered desktop amp in this round-up
— Hand-built wood cabinets finished in a 13-step paint process — best build quality here
— Bluetooth aptX, USB-C, RCA, and 3.5mm inputs cover every desktop and turntable scenario

Watch-outs

— No subwoofer included — separate sub recommended for cinematic bass
— Most expensive pick in this round-up at $300
— Smaller drivers than the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 — lower max volume in big rooms

Ranked #3 in Best Desktop Computer Speakers

Logitech Z407

4.4

$120

The Z407 is the modern feature-rich 2.1 pick. Bluetooth, USB-A, 3.5mm, AND a wireless control dial covers every connectivity need short of XLR. The down-firing 20W sub adds real bass without the floor-space footprint of the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1's side-firing 6.5". The trade-off is volume ceiling and tuning — Logitech's house sound is on the brighter side. For desks that double as a streaming/gaming/music hub, this is the all-rounder pick.

Strengths

— Wireless control dial with Bluetooth — 20-meter range for couch-level control
— 80W peak power / 40W RMS — adequate for most desk sizes
— Down-firing 20W subwoofer adds bass without the Klipsch's footprint

Watch-outs

— Lower max volume than the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1
— Down-firing subwoofer needs hard flooring for optimal bass (carpet kills it)
— Wireless dial relies on Bluetooth — drops occasionally in interference-heavy spaces

How they stack up

Audioengine A2+ Wireless

Most refined sound and best build quality in this lineup. Beats the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1, Logitech Z407, Edifier R1280T, and Creative Pebble X Plus on tonal accuracy and cabinet materials. Lacks a subwoofer that the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1, Logitech Z407, and Creative Pebble X Plus include — bass extension comes from the drivers alone.

Logitech Z407

Best connectivity in this lineup — beats the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 (wired only) and Audioengine A2+ (Bluetooth + wired but no wireless control puck). Smaller subwoofer than the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1. Same 2.1 layout as the Creative Pebble X Plus but with much more power and a wireless dial.
