THE GEAR WE'RE LUSTING AFTER

Edifier QR65

Desktop speakers are increasingly rare, which is why we're celebrating the arrival of Edifier's QR65 Active Desktop Monitors. Capable of belting out your tunes at a staggering 70W, and in old-school stereo too, they'll look great parked on either side of your Mac - with either black or white finishes to choose from. You also get a choice of 11 different 3D lighting effects (available by pressing a button on the speaker's side) with other customisation options available via the Edifier ConneX app for iPhone.

Each rigid MDF speaker cabinet is equipped with a 1.25in silk dome tweeter and a 2.75in aluminium mid-low driver, giving the QR65 a frequency response of 55Hz-40kHz. The speakers also have Bluetooth 5.3, USB-A and RCA (phono), and a subwoofer output onboard.

Completing your dream stereo set-up are a pair of angled aluminium stands. 

Campfire Audio Fathom

Convenient they may be, but Bluetooth in-ears often compromise on sound quality - and that's a serious no-no if you're serious about your music.
