Razer Nommo Pro: THX Certified Premium Audio - Dolby Virtual Surround Sound - LED Illuminated Control Pod - Downward Firing Subwoofer - Powered Chroma - PC Gaming Speakers

I was skeptical, but these speakers are pretty solid. Details below:PACKAGINGThat one reviewer's point about the packaging protecting the tweeters - the packaging isn't terrible. It's decent, but he/she is right - the tweeters need some sort of protection so they don't get damaged, especially when you're removing the speakers from the foam. Also, don't bump the tweeters, they are extremely fragile - that should go without saying.THE BEATS EFFECTAre Beats headphones good enough for you? Do you have $500? Buy this and plug it in and you'll be blown away. You can play with the THX, Dolby or custom equalizer settings in the Razer app if you'd like but you probably won't care enough.Are Beats headphones garbage to you? Are you a gamer? Do you have $500? Would you prefer to spend less than $1000+ on a new sound system? Do you prefer to have a 2-speaker desk setup and/or don't want to have speakers behind you that you may accidentally knock over with your chair or body or whatever? These are a really great choice. The first thing you'll want to do is go into the equalizer settings in the Razer app and change the equalizer to custom - and set all the frequency ranges to 0 (although for some reason, during one of the patches, they now save to all 1s... weird). Anyhow, do that. THX and DD (but especially THX) heavily modify the sound and any music with a significant presence of mids and especially highs will infinitely significantly better. It's extremely tangible in gaming and in music like Queen. Also, make sure the bass boost isn't too high for your tastes, unless you want to rattle picture frames.VOLUMEThese speakers get quite loud. No need to worry there. That goes double for the subwoofer. And the subwoofer is big and powerful.WARMTHIf you don't know what warm sound is, skip this point. If you do, after normalizing the frequency volumes and turning down the bass boost in the Razer app, these speakers will lose their warm sound. They're not quite as neutral or even cold as electrostats, but they're definitely colder than more expensive Bowers & Wilkins. The sound is crisp. A lot of the uber-mainstream garbage pop/rap and (for those of you who are older than 30) your older 128-bitrate mp3s from the mid-late 90s don't sound particularly great. Shower singing sounds pretty good until you remove the shower.DESIGNIt's nice and pretty. And, it's is less obnoxious than some of Razer's other offerings.OTHER THOUGHTSI use After Effects and Premiere for video editing and motion graphics. I find wearing headphone cans for a long period of time tiring. These speakers (assuming you balanced the equalizer like I mentioned above) are actually pretty decent for it - more than you'd expect.It's now been several months and I decided to do a written review here. I'm really quite happy with my purchase - because I was worried when I pulled the trigger. Assuming you don't dent your tweeters, I bet you'll be quite content with this product.

This is a large system, The speakers and Sub are big. You will need to have a good sized desk for these speakers and the floor space for the Sub. The cords are pretty long so you can move them around. Hooking them up was easy and pretty straight forward. The bluetooth works well with my Desktop PC and Macbook Pro.The sound that this system produces is amazing. the sound doesn't come at you but it comes from around you. I tested this system with PC games, Youtube music from Eminem and Pink Floyd, Movies on Netflix and HBO. This system gets loud and the base will hit hard. I may buy a second set for my main TV in the living room. I don't know if you could find something better for double the price. i feel you don't have anything to lose with this system if you got the gaming area or entertainment area that can fit it.

I like Razer, I have several of their peripherals ranging from a few of their mice to upgrading from their Huntsman Elite to a Blackwidow V4 75%m their Seiren V3 Chroma, and will be upgrading to their Razer Kiyo pro Ultra eventually as my Kiyo Pro is showing it's age. Point is, I like the RGB goodness and to stick to a certain environment. So when I FINALLY decided to bite the bullet and get some speakers so as not to wear headphones all day (don't get me wrong, I love my Audeze Maxwells, especially after having EQed em just right) and decided to get these over the Vs pros, the Steelseries Arena 7s, and the Leviathan V2 Pro.They came today and I was soo excited, I spent time carefully plugging everything up aaaaaand.......won't power up. Nothing I seem to do powers it up. So when an audio friend was free he looked into it and asked if I had held down the button till it clicked. I admit I did not and tried, nothing. He then saw that this was a wide spread issue and talked me through a few solutions all of which did not work. The only one I did not do involved a screwdriver to the socket to force a discharge/power cycle, which I was not willing to do.So, in spite of liking their design, the idea of the synced RGB, and hearing how good the audio is when working, I will be returning these for a refund and getting a Steelseries arena 7. Why the 7s? My entertainment room is SMALL and have nowhere for the rear speakers so surround sound is kinda pointless. It is baffling though that this design flaw in regards to the powering of the speakers was never corrected over time and is still a wide spread issue to this day. Yes I know they have V2s, but I don't care for the fact they're not as aesthetically pleasing and that the tweeters are no longer separate. Could I go for the Leviathan V2 pro? Not really, as I have a 4k blu ray player where it would go and a low profile boom arm positioned over that so standard speakers it is.That being said, it really sucks that in my 4-8 years of owning Razer products that this is the first time their products have been unusable out of box for me. Heck, even SYNAPSE hasn't really given me issues. But I guess my good fortune was bound to run out at some point....at least the Arena 7s are supposed to be very reliable and have great audio too.
