A new desktop speaker that aims to redefine the look of your workspace has just launched in China. Called the Huazai New Cyber, the latest product from the well-known audio brand Edifier boldly combines the look of a high-end gaming PC build with the features of a dedicated audio device. The speaker shows off all of its "internals" behind a transparent shell, complete with vivid RGB lighting and a full-color mini display, making it an eye-catching centerpiece on any desk.
Huazai New Cyber Design: A Convincing PC "Cosplay"
Although the design of the Huazai New Cyber clearly targets gamers and PC enthusiasts, Edifier seems to have bigger ambitions than that. By blending the visual polish of expensive custom-built PCs with serious audio hardware and flexible connectivity, the company is testing whether computer speakers can be as distinctive and expressive as the PCs they sit beside. Its success, and whether it ever gets released outside China, may depend on how many consumers value a product that looks as bold as the sound it produces.
The centerpiece of the Huazai New Cyber design is its transparent upper body, which reveals internal components arranged almost like art. Parts such as the amplifier, power supply, braided parachute-cord wiring and signal processor are laid out to resemble PC components like a graphics card or RAM slots. The result is a striking visual effect that makes the speaker more than a sound device: it is a high-tech decoration piece as well.
The most eye-catching visual feature is a set of five round RGB lights designed to mimic spinning cooling fans. They can cycle through colors with animated effects, reinforcing the gaming PC theme. This is more than simple decoration; it creates a lively lighting scene that syncs with the user's setup.
More Than Looks: Audio Performance and Unique Features
Behind the flashy exterior, Edifier still equips the Huazai New Cyber with a very capable audio setup. Bass is handled by a 4-inch subwoofer, backed by three passive radiators that reinforce low frequencies without needing extra power. Meanwhile, two 52mm mid-high drivers deliver clarity and detail in the higher frequency ranges. These components sit behind a fabric mesh at the bottom of the speaker, balancing aesthetics with sound quality.
The built-in 2.8-inch display is a technology highlight worth mentioning. It serves both decorative and practical purposes. Users can customize it to show images, animations or personal messages. But the best part is that when connected to a computer over USB, it can directly show system information such as CPU, GPU and RAM activity. When paired with a smartphone or another source, it can even display song lyrics in real time, an extremely useful and fun feature.
To make the most of desk space, Edifier also adds USB-A and USB-C ports that can charge connected devices. This turns the Huazai New Cyber into more than an audio system: it is also a compact desktop hub that helps users manage cables and charge other devices conveniently.
Versatile Connectivity and Huazai New Cyber Price
In size, the Huazai New Cyber is comparable to many bookshelf speakers commonly used with desktop computers, so it takes up a considerable amount of desk space. For broad compatibility, the speaker can connect to devices over Bluetooth, USB or an analog audio cable, offering flexibility for many kinds of setups.
The Huazai New Cyber is currently on sale in China for 1,499 yuan, roughly 210 USD (about 5.3 million VND). It comes in two colors: aurora white and phantom black. Edifier has not yet confirmed whether it plans to release this distinctive speaker in international markets. Still, with its bold design and appealing features, it is sure to be a product that many tech fans around the world are waiting for.
