These gorgeous and weird ultra-modern wooden wireless speakers are serious competition for Bang & Olufsen in the style stakes
Luxury handmade speakers "that don't hide in corners"

- Pent Audio launches three speakers: Aurora, Chiara and Gulia
- 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 configurations with extensive streaming support
- From $4,400 / £3,550
Pent claims to make "the most luxurious fitness equipment in the world", and now the brand has moved into the audio business with Pent Audio and three very beautiful new speakers.
All three models in the new range are strikingly designed, made by hand and available in strictly limited editions, and according to Pent Audio they're more than just speakers: they're "handcrafted works of art".
They're also quite expensive. The cheapest model, the Chiara, starts at $4,400 / £3,550, although for a limited period there's a 30% reduction on pre-orders across the range. That promotion ends on 30th October 2025.
PENT. Audio speakers: key features and pricing
Each speaker comes in multiple "ready-to-experience" finishes and there are also extensive customization options. The standard options are Walnut Harmony, Oak Essence, Black Gold and White Aura.
There are three models to choose from: the tall, cylindrical Chiara; the striking floorstanding Aurora; and the sci-fi-esque Gulia.
The speakers have dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, Wireless Power Link connectivity, Ethernet and USB-C. They support AirPlay, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Deezer, Qplay 2.0 and internet radio, and they're controllable via the Pent. Audio app or the 4STREAM app. All models support multi-room streaming.
The Chiara is a 2.1 system with a 4-inch woofer, twin 2-3-inch mid-range drivers and two tweeters, powered by two 15W Class D amps for the speakers and a 30W Class D amp for the woofer. Frequency range is 80Hz to 20kHz. The Chiara starts at $4,400 / £3,550.
