A brand-new desktop speaker with the ambition to redefine workspace aesthetics has just been launched in the Chinese market. Named Huazai New Cyber, the latest product from the renowned audio brand Edifier is a bold fusion of a high-end PC gaming setup’s appearance and the features of a dedicated audio device. This speaker showcases its entire “interior” through a transparent shell, accompanied by a vibrant RGB lighting system and a full-color mini screen, promising to be an eye-catching centerpiece on any desk.
Huazai New Cyber Design: “Cosplaying” as a Professional PC
While the design of the Huazai New Cyber clearly targets gamers and PC enthusiasts, Edifier‘s ambitions seem even greater. By blending the visual sophistication of expensive “custom” PC builds with serious audio hardware and flexible connectivity, the company is testing whether computer speakers can become as personalized and expressive as the PCs they accompany. Its success—and whether it will be released outside of China—may depend on how many consumers value a product with an appearance as bold as the sound it produces.
The main highlight in the Huazai New Cyber design lies in its transparent upper body, revealing artistically arranged internal components. Parts such as the amplifier, power supply, braided cables, and signal processor are positioned to resemble computer components, such as graphics cards or RAM slots. This creates an extremely impressive visual effect, transforming the speaker from just an audio device into a high-tech decorative object.
The most prominent visual feature is a set of five circular RGB lights, designed to simulate spinning cooling fans. These lights can transition through colors with animated effects, further emphasizing the PC gaming theme. This is not merely a decorative detail but also creates a dynamic lighting space that synchronizes with the user’s setup.
More Than Just Beauty: Audio Performance and Unique Features
Behind the flashy exterior, Edifier still equips the Huazai New Cyber with a formidable audio configuration. The bass is handled by a 4-inch subwoofer, supported by three passive radiators that enhance low frequencies without requiring extra power. Meanwhile, two 52mm mid-high drivers ensure clarity and detail in the higher frequency ranges. These components are placed behind a fabric mesh at the bottom of the speaker, balancing aesthetics with sound quality.
A technological highlight that cannot be missed is the integrated 2.8-inch screen. This screen serves both decorative and practical purposes. Users can customize the display with images, animations, or personal messages. But the best part is when connected to a computer via USB, it can directly display system information such as CPU, GPU, and RAM activity. When paired with a smartphone or other playback sources, it can even display lyrics in real-time, an extremely useful and interesting feature.
To optimize desk space, Edifier also integrates USB-A and USB-C ports capable of charging connected devices. This turns the Huazai New Cyber into not just an audio system, but also a compact desktop hub, helping users manage cables and charge other devices conveniently.
Diverse Connectivity and Pricing of Huazai New Cyber
In terms of size, the Huazai New Cyber is comparable to many bookshelf speaker models commonly used with desktop computers, occupying a significant amount of desk space. To ensure wide compatibility, the speaker can connect to devices via Bluetooth, USB, or analog audio cables, offering flexibility for various setups.
Currently, the Huazai New Cyber is being sold in the Chinese market at a price of 1,499 yuan, equivalent to approximately 210 USD (about 5.3 million VND). The product comes in two color options: Aurora White and Phantom Black. Edifier has not yet confirmed whether they plan to release this unique speaker to international markets. However, with its breakthrough design and attractive features, this is certainly a product that many tech enthusiasts around the world are looking forward to.
