The Coolest Speakers, Turntables and Hi-Fi Gear from CES 2026

Ikea is going beyond the conventional home furnishings and into the world of stylish, portable audio gear. Recently revealed at CES 2026, Ikea’s latest is a compact, ultra-portable, cubed Bluetooth speaker called the Kallsup. Roughly the size of a coffee mug, the Kallsup cube speaker boasts the ability to interconnect with up to 100 additional Kallsup units for a comprehensive multi-speaker arrangement. But the best part, in addition to being made in a variety of colors, the Kallsup speaker will reportedly cost only $10 each.

Pro-Ject’s Debut Reference 10 is the most high-end and expensive turntable in the company’s popular Debut range. And naturally, it adds even more premium components and features to the Debut’s familiar, minimalist design. The most notable upgrade is that it has a hybrid carbon and aluminum tonearm (a first for a Debut turntable) that “offers full adjustability for both azimuth and vertical tracking angle.” It also comes with a higher-end Pick It PRO Balanced moving-magnet cartridge, a new power generator, and elevated accents.

The Edifier M90 is a compact active speaker system that’s exceptionally versatile. It’s primed for desktop use, but it can be used with a TV (thanks to HDMI eARC) or a turntable (via AUX or USB-C). It has built-in Bluetooth with support for high-resolution codecs, including LDAC, so you can stream music to the system from your smartphone. Each speaker features a two-way design with a 1-inch silk-dome tweeter and a 4-inch mid-bass driver. In total, the system delivers 100 watts of output. Available in white or black finishes.

The AT-LP7X is a fully manual belt-drive turntable with a minimalist design that costs $999 — it’s sort of like a belt-drive alternative to the brand’s direct-drive AT-LP8X, which also costs roughly $1,000. Both turntables feature a matte-black finish, premium materials and a J-shaped aluminum tonearm that is inspired by Audio-Technica’s classic turntables from the 1960s and ’70s. However, the AT-LP7X differs slightly: Audio-Technica built in a phono preamplifier compatible with both MM and MC cartridges. This means you can hook a turntable directly to a pair of powered or active speakers, for example.

Klipsch is getting back into the headphone game with its Atlas series — they’re the American loudspeaker specialist’s first new headphones in a decade. The series consists of three different over-ear headphones: the HP-1 (not pictured), the HP-2 and the flagship HP-3. The HP-3 are semi-open-back hi-fi headphones designed for serious audiophiles. The HP-2 are closed-back headphones that fall in the middle. And the HP-1 are wireless headphones with active noise-cancellation. Pricing and availability information have yet to be revealed.

Victrola’s Soundstage is a compact stereo speaker that’s specifically designed to sit under your turntable. Unlike most speakers, it features a vibration-isolated design that won’t shake the turntable and degrade vinyl playback quality. Additionally, it supports built-in Bluetooth so you can stream music when you’re not playing records. It comes in two finishes, black or walnut, and will be available in summer 2026.

Onkyo’s Muse Y-50 is an integrated streaming amplifier that is essentially a more powerful version of the brand’s Y-40. It shares the same design, physical connections, and high-resolution streaming capabilities, but it delivers 250 watts per channel (into 4 ohms) and thus can drive higher-end, more demanding loudspeakers. According to the brand, it delivers “unparalleled high-fidelity performance and cutting-edge streaming technology.”

The Onkyo Muse Y-40 is an integrated amplifier with a fully digital circuit design, Class D amplification, a wealth of wired connections and support for high-resolution streaming over Wi-Fi. It’s designed as “just add speakers” hi-fi components. It’s essentially a scaled-back version of the flagship Y-50, as it delivers 150 watts (instead of 250 watts) per channel into 4 ohms.

Harman Kardon’s SoundSticks is one of the most iconic and recognizable desktop speaker systems of all time. Originally released in the 2000s, the speaker-and-subwoofer combo has a futuristic, transparent design that earned it a place in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). And, because it was first developed with Apple’s Jony Ive, many consider it the desktop speaker system that Apple would’ve made. Now, Harmon Kardon has introduced a 5th-gen version that supports Wi-Fi streaming.

Klipsch’s The Nines II is a second-generation version of the brand’s 2023-released The Nines. Like before, it’s a large powered speaker system with a vintage-inspired design, but it’s upgraded with Onkyo’s electronics and amplification, Wi-Fi streaming capabilities, and support for Dolby Atmos and thus promises to be a better TV speaker system. (Klipsch also released gen-two versions of its smaller The Sevens and The Fives.)

The Fiio M33 R2R is the brand’s mid-range portable hi-fi player — it sits below its flagship player, the M27, which costs $1,800. The M33 R2R features a 24-bit R2R resistor array, modern hardware and is capable of playing hi-res audio files up to 24-bit/384kHz. Its built-in amplifier delivers a total output of 2200 mW, enabling it to drive a wide range of headphones. According to the brand, it’s “designed for listeners who demand uncompromising sound quality, flexibility and performance.”

Cambridge Audio’s L/R Series comprises three systems (from smallest to largest): the compact L/R S ($549), the mid-sized L/R M ($1,599), and the flagship L/R X ($2,299). Each is an active stereo speaker system with built-in streaming and comes in a range of colors. The two larger models share the most in common, as they have the same wired connections and support for Wi-Fi streaming. The smallest models lack the built-in phono stage and HDMI eARC inputs; they also only support Bluetooth streaming.

Samsung’s Music Studio 5 (pictured) and Music Studio 7 are wireless powered speakers that support streaming over Wi-Fi. The smaller of the two, the Music Studio 5, looks quite similar to Ikea’s recently released Nattbad Bluetooth speaker. It features a 4-inch woofer and dual tweeters, and supports Bluetooth streaming as well. The larger Music Studio 7 looks more like a bookshelf speaker and supports higher-resolution streaming (up to 24-bit/96kHz). It can also wirelessly sync with Samsung’s latest TVs (via its Q-Symphony technology) and be used as TV speakers. Pricing and availability info have not yet been released.
