James Trew’s review highlights the PSB iQ2 as a premium bookshelf pair that blends hi‑fi sound with smart‑speaker convenience. Priced at $1,399, the compact 9 × 6‑inch speakers come in seven colors and feature HDMI‑eARC, phono, optical, USB‑A/C, Bluetooth aptX and AirPlay. The Blu OS controller app offers near‑native integration, quick setup, and intuitive source swapping, though toggling between line and phono inputs can be tricky.

Sound is relaxed and natural; the iQ2 handles TV dialogue and action scenes smoothly, while music—especially electronic—benefits from true stereo separation. Vinyl via the phono input sounds slightly narrower, but PSB says it will improve the preamp. Compared to Sonos options, the iQ2 provides broader connectivity and a focused speaker experience without voice assistants.

The design is minimalist and fits most media centers, but it isn’t built for wall‑shaking party volumes. Overall, the iQ2 delivers a polished app experience and confident stereo performance, earning an 8/10 rating.
