I’ll get straight to it,because it’s Black Friday and you did not come here to mess around: Edifier’s chic and unique QR65 desktop speakers are in a glorious Black Friday sale that sees $100 slashed from their price in the US, making them just $269.99 (was $369.99), or a massive £100 off in the UK, making them now just £229.99 (was £329.99), both at Amazon.
And that means huge savings of 27% in the US, or 30% in the UK, on speakers I think already look far more pricey than they are.

One of the things I love about these speakers is that they’re angled up slightly so that when you’re listening to tracks or gaming at the computer, the music hits you just right. Sounds like a small thing but it isn’t, once you’re listening.
I found these powered speakers (the amplification is hidden in the master speaker, so you can simply plug and play – or use Bluetooth to ping music from your source devices wirelessly) zealous and exciting sonically, with a healthy bass weight. But there’s actually a Sub Out port in one of the speakers that you could use to connect to an external subwoofer if you’ve got one and you want more low-end clout. I don’t imagine too many people needing this, but it’s a nice optional extra and one I thought I’d mention.
Oh, and I’ve added a photo to show you just one of the light options. I know, I know, audiophiles are tutting right now because of potential noise interference. But I think there’s plenty to like about the sound here for the money – and let me be clear that I love the look of these things while I work, rest or play…

What about an inexpensive deck to go with your powered speakers? This one’s ideal: Sony is a trusted name in audio and this inexpensive turntable is now also discounted for Black Friday. There’s a phono stage inbuilt, and because the speakers are powered (ie. the amplification is squirrelled into the master speaker) you can just plug in using the RCA ports and off you go – or even hook them up over Bluetooth (yep, you’ve got both options here).
Oh, and we recently reviewed it too! Have a gander at our full Sony PS-LX310BT review for the full scoop – but a double saving and a lovely little system for just $448 (usually $819) or £408 (normally £579) doesn’t sound bad for Black Friday, does it?
