If your audio setup is feeling a little tired, the PSB Alpha iQ streaming-powered speakers are here to shake things up. These wireless speakers, now $1,234 for Prime members on Amazon (a $65 saving), bring high-res sound and zero cable chaos to your home.

Let’s start with the basics: These aren’t just speakers but a full-on streaming system in disguise. Thanks to BluOS, the Alpha iQ connects you to over 20 music services, including high-resolution platforms like Tidal and Qobuz. Want to stream directly from your phone? These speakers play nice with AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect, so you can ditch the extra gadgets.

But it’s not just about convenience, it’s about sound quality that can make even a so-so playlist feel savage. Alpha iQ boasts an audiophile-grade DAC (digital-to-analogue converter) with support for 24-bit/192kHz high-res audio and MQA decoding. You can hear every pluck, beat, and whisper like it’s happening live. The speakers pack a punch, too, with each woofer powered by a 60-watt amp and each tweeter rocking its own 30-watt amp. That’s 180 watts of system power delivering room-filling sound that doesn’t skimp on the details.

Need flexibility? These speakers have you covered. Beyond streaming features, the primary speaker has inputs, including an MM phono preamp and RCA jacks for vinyl lovers, an HDMI ARC port for hooking up to your TV, and an optical input for gamers or old-school CD enthusiasts. There’s even a 3.5mm auxiliary jack for analogue devices because PSB knows some of us still love a classic.

Alpha iQ speakers come in a range of finishes, including matte white, black, and midnight blue that look modern without trying. They’ll sit pretty in your living room or home office without screaming, “look at me!”
