Edifier Unveils Integrated QD35 Tabletop Bluetooth Speaker with GaN Charger and Light Effects

Edifier unveiled the QD35 – an original tabletop speaker that combines Bluetooth with the LDAC codec and a 24-bit/96kHz-capable USB input, and therefore received both Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless certification. The original design, with a show-through front panel that reveals an intricate maze of light tubes - Nixie tube style - is able to change color and generate pulsating, dynamic effects combined with the audio. And because Edfier is a large Chinese audio equipment manufacturer with the necessary resources, the QD35 is also a GaN charger.

Creative Technology announced Creative Nova, a portable WiFi multiroom Smart Speaker with a light and sound mood-setting environment which the company calls "a Light & Sound Spa". The Nova features a powerful 5-driver design in a WiFi/Bluetooth high-performance speaker system with Amazon Alexa-enabled voice assistance, complete with far-field voice recognition. A design which the company believes will set it apart from other smart speakers, inspiring "a smarter lifestyle."
