PSB Speakers Unveils the iQ Series: High-Fidelity Streaming Simplified

PSB has introduced the iQ Series, a new range of all-in-one streaming speakers aimed at listeners who want proper stereo sound without filling the room with separate amplifiers, streamers, DACs, and cables. The new range includes the iQ1 and iQ2, with each model built around PSB’s BluOS ecosystem and the acoustic foundation introduced with the Alpha iQ. The larger idea here is straightforward: you place the speakers, connect them to the network, open the app, and start listening without first building an entire component system.

That kind of simplicity has become a much bigger part of home audio because many listeners still want a real left-and-right speaker setup, but they do not want the furniture, wiring, or technical friction that often come with traditional hi-fi. The iQ Series sits directly in that gap.

A Stereo System Without The Usual Stack Of Components

The iQ Series folds streaming, amplification, digital conversion, and speaker playback into one system. BluOS gives listeners access to music, podcasts, and radio from more than 20 services, while multi-room support lets the speakers connect with other BluOS-enabled products throughout the home. This makes the range useful for someone who wants a serious primary listening setup and still likes the convenience of app control.

Each model supports high-resolution playback up to 24-bit/192kHz through an audiophile-grade DAC. PSB has also moved the range onto a new Burr Brown amplifier platform, which is one of the more important changes from the earlier Alpha iQ foundation. The technical side matters, but the real value is having those pieces already matched. Amplifier choice, DAC pairing, and streaming compatibility have already been handled, leaving the listener to focus on placement and what they actually want to hear.

The iQ1 Makes The Range Easier To Enter

The iQ1 serves as the entry point into PSB’s streaming speaker line, with pricing starting at $999 when it becomes available on August 10. That price still places it in premium bookshelf-speaker territory, though the comparison changes once the built-in amplification, streaming platform, DAC, and multi-room support are taken into account. For apartments, offices, bedrooms, and smaller listening rooms, the iQ1 should be the easier fit. It gives listeners the BluOS experience and PSB’s speaker design in a format aimed at people who want fewer boxes without dropping down to a single smart speaker.

The iQ2 Pushes Further Into Premium Home Audio

The iQ2 is the higher-tier model, available beginning June 23 with pricing starting at $1,399. PSB describes it as a true wireless stereo system, and it comes in seven premium finishes, including Walnut Veneer. The finish options matter here because all-in-one speakers are usually left in plain view. PSB has added cloth fabric grilles and more refined finishes across the range, giving the iQ Series a softer, furniture-friendly look. The iQ2 appears aimed at listeners who want the convenience of wireless streaming and multi-room control while still treating the system as their main way of listening.

BluOS Keeps The System Connected Beyond One Room

BluOS is the backbone of the whole range. It brings together streaming services, radio, podcasts, high-resolution playback, and multi-room control on a single platform. That is useful for households where music moves between rooms throughout the day. The iQ Series can function as a dedicated stereo setup in one space while staying linked to compatible speakers or audio systems elsewhere. For producers and musicians, the speakers could also make sense as a separate reference system away from the studio desk. Across the range, PSB is making a fairly direct argument: proper stereo listening can still feel simple, connected, and visually clean.
