Fenton SHFB65 Boekenplank Speakers (hifi)
A set of passive 6.5" bookshelf speakers (2-way, 200W) - real stereo speakers for anyone who wants music more seriously than a small bluetooth box.
Anyone who takes home music more seriously soon arrives at real bookshelf speakers. These Fenton SHFB65 are passive 2-way speakers with a 6.5" woofer, which you connect to an amplifier or receiver for full stereo sound. At around 85 euro a nice entry into a starter hifi set or as an upgrade from computer/TV sound. Important: these are passive speakers, so you need an amplifier.
Reasons to buy

Watch-outs
- Passive speakers: you need a separate amplifier/receiver
- No bluetooth/built-in amp - this is not plug-and-play
- For someone who just wants a wireless box, this is too much hassle
Passive vs. active - read this first
This is the key point: these are passive speakers. They have no built-in amplifier and no bluetooth. You connect them with speaker cable to a stereo amplifier or receiver, which drives the signal. If the recipient already has an amplifier (or you include one), you get far better sound than from a small wireless speaker. If someone wants purely wireless and simple, this is not the right choice.
What you get in return
A real stereo setup with two separate speakers gives width and depth a mono bluetooth box can't reach. The 6.5" woofer delivers more body in the low end, the 2-way design separates highs and lows. For music, film or vinyl lovers that's a noticeable step up.
Who is it a good gift for?
Ideal for someone who wants a (start of a) hifi set or seeks better sound quality and already has an amplifier. Less suitable for someone who only wants a ready-made wireless speaker - so check whether the recipient has an amplifier.
