Xiaomi launches Redmi Desktop Speaker 2 Pro: four drivers, Bluetooth 5.3, RGB lighting, and a budget-friendly price
Looking to upgrade your PC or laptop sound without spending a fortune? Xiaomi’s new Redmi Desktop Speaker 2 Pro aims to deliver big, room-filling audio in a compact, stylish package. The speaker is rolling out in China through a crowdfunding campaign and packs a four‑driver setup usually reserved for pricier gear.
At the heart of the speaker are two 10-watt racetrack drivers paired with two passive woofers. This combination is designed to produce a wider soundstage with fuller bass and clear mids and highs, making it well-suited for music, movies, and gaming.
Connectivity is another strong point. You can play audio directly over USB, stream wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.3, or plug in through a 3.5 mm AUX port. That flexibility means it works seamlessly with desktops, laptops, phones, tablets, and handheld consoles.
The Redmi Desktop Speaker 2 Pro does not include a built-in battery, so it requires wall power at all times. It uses an external power adapter to keep the unit compact and desk-friendly.
Design-wise, Xiaomi pairs a clean metal grille with a tactile side-mounted knob for quick volume adjustments and mode switching. An integrated RGB light ring adds flair without being overbearing. You can choose from six lighting effects that can react dynamically to your music for a more immersive desk setup.
Audio personalization is handled through five EQ presets, letting you tailor the sound to your content. There’s also a dedicated Game Mode promising responsive, immersive audio to better track action and footsteps in competitive titles.
Key highlights:
– Four-driver system: two 10 W racetrack drivers + two passive woofers
– Wide, immersive soundstage aimed at music, movies, and gaming
– Bluetooth 5.3, USB audio, and 3.5 mm AUX input
– External power adapter required; no internal battery
– Metal grille, side control knob, and reactive RGB lighting with six effects
– Five EQ presets and a Game Mode for more engaging, responsive sound
Pricing and availability:
The Redmi Desktop Speaker 2 Pro is priced at CNY 369 (about 52 USD) in China through a crowdfunding platform. A global launch has not been announced yet. For those outside China, the company already offers a similar desktop speaker with comparable features, though exact specs may vary by market.
If you’re after an affordable desktop speaker that blends punchy sound, modern connectivity, and subtle RGB aesthetics, this new Redmi model is shaping up to be a strong contender for everyday listening and casual gaming. Keep an eye on regional availability news if you want to snag one when it arrives in your area.
