There was plenty to be excited about at the show, but five things stood out to me.
A pocket projector that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker.

A pair of colorful dorm room speakers.
The Bristol HiFi show was chock-full of incredible audiostuff:here are my top 5 things.
The greenest speakers you ever did see
Kanto make great stuff.

The new UKI speakers bring that signature Kanto design to a smaller form factor aimed at everyday desktop use.
I think they look adorable!
Even the Kanto rep laughed as he reminded us that they look like those little Among Us guys."
Theres the new green color as well, which was shown off at the show.
Sound-wise, things were pretty exciting.
That was even after the rep pulled the subwoofer cable out of the back.
Kanto tells me theyre looking to launch around back-to-school, so we can expect them around August-September time.
Whatever happens, I cant wait to see the little green speakers land on my testing table.
Ill be stacking them up against thebest computer speakers, and I think theyll hold up quite well.

Optoma Photon Go
OK, its notstrictlyan audio equipment, but its still pretty cool.
Considering how much power it takes to drive a small laser projector, thats pretty good.
And if you play with the tweaks, enough to last a movie.

More impressive was that despite the massive screen, the projector was only 25cm away from the wall.
The portable projector will launch in April, and its going to cost $999.
Theres a reason I chose Blue and Gold speakers for my setup everything else is gray and black.

No fun at all.
So Pro-Jects new colorful line of vinyl-centered audio systems look to bring some more personality to the category.
There are two versions coming.
(Image credit: Tom’s Guide)
The first is the Colorful Audio System 2, which retails (in the UK) for 1,799.
The second is the Colorful Audio System E which retails for 1,099.
Both will be coming to the US, although Im yet to get pricing on those models as yet.

Theyll be launched for purchase in March.
They consist of an amplifier, a pair of passive speakers, and a Pro-Ject turntable.
Evidently aimed at a younger, more design-conscious audience, its the color options that really stand out.

Comfortable and light, with sound to rival the best over-ears Ive ever tried.
The custom bit is what pulled me in though.
Then there are the K17 headphone amp and the S15 streamer.
Its got a built-in DAC and enough power to drive the most demanding of headphones.
Neither is cheap, mind you.
The K17 retails for $899, and the S15 is $999.
First are HiFi Man’s in-ear buds, called the Svanar.
There are three price points here, which all share the same design but pack in different internals.
They also looksuper cool.
Regas new Planar P3 RS is well worth highlighting, with its stunning looks and monster spec sheet.
I’m looking forward to seeing how it stacks up against thebest turntables.
Sorry, United States, but lets be honest.
You get most of the cool stuff.
