What sets them apart is the inclusion of built-in HDMI ARC support, a feature that, when coupled with the dedicated Night Mode for their unique feature—built-in HDMI ARC support—combined with a specific Night Mode for subdued bass during sleep viewing makes them an appealing option for anyone looking for a true stereo experience. subtle bass during bedtime viewing presents a compelling choice for those in search of an authentic stereo experience.

A Symphony of Options

Crafted to fit seamlessly on any media unit, the Ren speakers offer many connectivity choices. Thanks to their Bluetooth streaming, USB, USB-C, RCA, AUX, and optical connectors, these speakers work with any device you own. If you desire a more robust low-end experience, the Ren speakers also welcome an external subwoofer. Noteworthy is their support for up to 24-bit/96kHz on USB and optical inputs, catering to high-resolution audio devices like network streamers and digital audio players.

A Comprehensive Audio Solution

Versatility is the hallmark of Ren speakers, accommodating PCs, laptops, phones, tablets, and beyond. The only notable omission is a phono stage, necessitating a separate unit or a turntable with integrated support for vinyl enthusiasts. While we await personal auditory experiences, the on-paper specifications promise a robust performance, boasting 100W of Class D amplification, 5.25-inch mid/woofers, and 1-inch silk dome tweeters.

These speakers are active, so there’s no need for an external amplifier, and their small size allows them to fit into a variety of configurations. Their attractive color options—which include bold white, green, brown, and orange in addition to traditional black and cream—amplify their allure. The Ren speakers are ready to improve your music experience, whether you want a bright, vivid color or a retro-tastic cream. Priced at 9 / £499 and slated for release in July, these speakers may not be budget-friendly.
