FiiO has introduced two Jade Audio headphones—the open-back planar magnetic JT7 and the open-back dynamic JT3—alongside the BR15, a compact desktop Bluetooth receiver with an onboard 24-bit R2R DAC. All three target first-step hi-fi buyers with low prices and full-system flexibility.

SVS does not discount often. The brand’s direct-to-consumer model and low-price guarantee keep pricing steady most of the year, which is why its Black Friday promotion is notable. This year’s event is live now and spans 14 items across subwoofers and Prime Series speakers. SVS is also advertising first-ever discounts on the 3000 Series and PB-1000 Pro, plus the lowest prices yet on the new 5000 R|Evolution subs.

MartinLogan adds two sealed subwoofers, the Grotto 12 and Grotto 15. Each uses a Hybrid Woofer System with one active aluminum driver and two same-size aluminum passive radiators, backed by the Magnitude MT-2kW amplifier (2000W peak/1000W continuous) and an ultra-high-resolution Vojtko DSP engine. Wireless control and signal connection are built in, with ARC room correction support.

The UK Hi‑Fi Show Live returns this weekend to England’s Ascot Racecourse, a high‑end‑focused event that trades the usual hotel hallways for a unique venue.

Spotify Premium subscribers can now stream lossless audio, with the service beginning its rollout September 10 across multiple markets. The feature delivers up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC quality and works with smartphones, tablets, computers, and a range of connected audio devices.
