PSB's iQ2 speakers ship without a voice assistant — on purpose

PSB's $1,399 iQ2 wireless speakers include HDMI eARC for TV audio, a phono stage, BluOS streaming, and aptX Adaptive Bluetooth — but no microphone or cloud assistant. PSB calls that absence deliberate. The smart-speaker category is splitting: the iQ2 focuses on music and TV sound, leaving voice control to other devices in the home.
