It means not only are the drivers larger but also there is more space for the RGB lighting on the rear of both speakers. The Nommo V2 Pro speakers are larger than I expected, but not in a bad way. A small button on the side of the pod allows you to switch between PC mode and Bluetooth mode or swap among EQ options. Turning the dial of the puck (which is basically the entire top two-thirds of the control pod) controls volume, and pressing either one, two, or three times down on the top of the pod mutes/unmutes, plays/pauses, and skips to the next track, respectively. While you technically can manage the Nommo V2 Pro speakers through your PC’s audio interface or through Razer’s Synapse software, the control pod (which is powered by two AAA batteries) is going to be the best and most convenient method to do so. This puck is about the size of my palm, about two inches tall, and is the control center for the speakers. Luckily, to manage them, Razer provides what it is calling a “wireless control pod.” Control in the Palm of Your Hand Altogether, that’s three total speakers with four total cables. While it is wireless in the sense that it doesn’t have a cable that connects to either of the main speakers, it does need power, so it has a power cable that you’ll need to manage. It’s literally plug-and-play.Īs a note, the subwoofer does need to be somewhat close to the two main speakers you can’t expect it to stay connected across a room, so be prepared to have it sitting on the floor below your desk. Armed with a 5.5-inch down-firing driver which can pump out some serious bass (which we’ll get into later), it pairs instantly with the two main speakers without any need to configure them at all. ![]() The Nommo V2 Pro comes with a wireless subwoofer. Razer did about as well as it could with the cables but there isn’t any new ground broken with the amount you’ll have to manage three total cables just on the desktop’s surface is kind of a lot, but I can’t think of any other way Razer could have approached this. The left speaker comes outfitted with a non-removable cord-wrapped cable that then plugs into the right speaker next to the power input and a USB-C to USB-A cable that runs to your computer (the USB-A side is what connects to your PC). The right speaker is basically the command point for the entire setup. That is fine with me, as the direction they face has them basically perfectly pointed at your ears from the expected position of sitting or standing at a desk if you can comfortably be typing, these speakers are ideally positioned. We’ll get into sound quality in the section below, but suffice to say I can confirm that these speakers get incredibly loud – way louder than you likely ever need them to.Įach of the speaker cylinders sits at an angle and is not adjustable from its slightly upward firing direction. They can get extremely loud, and Razer says that at maximum output they are equivalent to the sound of a train approaching a subway platform. While they aren’t ostentatious, they definitely feel like an overtly modern take on desktop or bookshelf speakers.Įach speaker features a full-range 3.2-inch driver outfitted with aluminum phase plugs that Razer says serve to minimize sound reflections within the speaker, resulting in clearer audio. Razer has always had an “aesthetic” to its products and the Nommo V2 Pro are no exception. Razer Nommo V2 Pro – Design and Build Quality ![]() These are easily the best speakers from Razer that I’ve ever tested and, if you can get past the $450 asking price, they check so many boxes that I think that both PC gamers and those who just enjoy a nice sound system at their desk will find a lot to like.
