Unless you are a student of interior home and office design, I, for one, do not typically get too excited about a lamp. For me, they are functional or, at most, stylish.

It’s not often that a company revisits one of its best-selling desktop audio monitors and dares to make a “Pro” version that’s actually worthy of the title. But IK Multimedia has done just that with their new iLoud Micro Monitor Pro—an evolution of its original iLoud Micro Monitor, which we reviewed and totally raved here about in late 2016. Back then, we praised their size-defying punch, crisp sound, and clever design. The Pro version keeps the same compact spirit, albeit slightly larger, but brings some seriously grown-up upgrades, including ARC (Automatic Room Correction) and better performance for those who need precision audio without scaling up their entire workspace.

When it comes to tuning in to music or podcasts, let’s be real – most earbuds aren’t exactly a joy, especially if you’re settling in for a long session. And those bulky over-ear headphones? They can turn your ears into saunas and won’t even warn you about what’s happening around you. When making or taking calls, it’s hardly a pleasure for either party, even if you are in your car on your hands-free, due to all the external unwanted noise.
