Xiaomi releases new soundbar and wireless subwoofer in the UK

Xiaomi's Desktop Speaker Pro set has landed in a new country. To recap, the Desktop Speaker Pro appeared on Xiaomi's global website in January before debuting in Singapore towards the end of March. Additionally, just over a month has passed since the wireless soundbar and subwoofer became available to purchase in countries like Belgium, Germany and Spain.
Now, Xiaomi has started selling the Desktop Speaker Pro Set in the UK. For context, the company priced the older Desktop Speaker at £34.99, which is as cheap as its Sound Outdoor speaker (curr. $52.99 on Amazon). By contrast, the Desktop Speaker Pro Set costs £78.99, more than twice as much as its non-Pro sibling. Nonetheless, the pair differ in multiple areas.
For one, Xiaomi's wireless soundbar element contains more ports than the Desktop Speaker. While the latter only features a 3.5 mm aux in connection, the Desktop Speaker Pro soundbar offers 3.5 mm aux in, 3.5 mm microphone and USB Type-C inputs. Also, the latter integrates redesigned physical controls that should be easier to use than those on the Desktop Speaker.
Moreover, the wireless soundbar comes with a subwoofer. Not only do the pair communicate over 2.4 GHz, but they also offer customisable RGB elements. For reference, Xiaomi includes dual 10 W racetrack drivers and two passive radiators in its soundbar, plus a 96 mm low-throw driver in its subwoofer.
