"Most small Bluetooth speakers are generic cylinders or bricks that sit somewhere on a desk and do not really belong to the rest of the setup. At the other end, you have sculptural, art-piece speakers that look great in a gallery photo but feel out of place next to a gaming keyboard. The 8BitDo Retro Cube 2 Speaker - N Edition sits in between, a speaker that actually looks like it belongs on a gamer's or retro-leaning desk."
"The top surface is a D-pad layout with a central button, plus and minus on the sides, a power icon at the top, and play/pause at the bottom. You control volume, playback, and pairing with a familiar gamepad language instead of tiny, unlabeled buttons. It is simple, tactile, and instantly recognizable if you have ever held a controller, which makes it feel more like part of a gaming setup than a generic Bluetooth puck that could live anywhere."
"The connectivity offers Bluetooth 5.3, 2.4G wireless via the included USB-C adapter, and wired USB audio. Bluetooth is fine for casual listening, but 2.4G and USB give virtually lag-free audio for games and video. The adapter hides in a slot under the dock when not in use, which keeps it from wandering off and makes it easy to move the cube between a laptop, a Switch, or a desktop without digging through a drawer for dongles."
The 8BitDo Retro Cube 2 Speaker N Edition is a compact, NES-inspired desktop speaker designed to match gaming accessories. The grey body, red grilles, and black D-pad top replicate NES shorthand for a cohesive aesthetic alongside the N40 keyboard and Ultimate 2 controller. The top panel uses a D-pad layout with central button, plus/minus, power, and play/pause for intuitive, tactile control. Connectivity includes Bluetooth 5.3, 2.4G wireless via an included USB-C adapter, and wired USB audio; 2.4G and USB deliver near-zero latency for games and video. The adapter stores under the dock, and the integrated wireless charging dock powers the cube while extending 2.4G signal.
