Although headphones have become the preferred option for many gamers, speakers like the Razer Nommo V2 in its three variants are an excellent reminder that there is nothing like a good set of speakers to enjoy an immersive experience , long lasting and with a considerable volume, without forcing our ears with a volume that, if heard with headphones, could be harmful.
Don’t get me wrong, I love good headphones and use them on a daily basis, but there are certain times when I find speakers to be a better option. Whether it’s for very long gaming sessions or, above all, to play and consume content of any kind in which bass tones play an important role, a set of speakers, especially if they are accompanied by a subwoofer , have always provided me with a much more satisfying experience, no matter how good headphones are (and I repeat, there are exceptional headphones).
It is for this reason that the announcement of the new Razer Nommo V2 family seemed great news to me, since this new proposal comes to give more life to a sector, that of PC speakers, which on a regular basis I have the feeling that it is, these days, much less active than it was not so long ago. But hey, this is not a personal reflection, but news about Razer’s new proposal in this market, so let’s see what exactly it consists of.
Razer Nommo V2 Pro
We begin this review of the news from Razer with the Nommo V2 Pro, which are at the top of the range of the brand . We are talking about a set of two speakers accompanied by a wireless subwoofer, and which is completed with a practical wireless control (we will talk about this device a little later). To provide rich and proper reproduction across the entire frequency range, they feature 3” full-range drivers , both equipped with aluminum phase plugs, preventing unwanted resonance effects within the speaker itself.
For its part, the subwoofer has a 14-centimeter diaphragm with lower projection , so that unlike what happens with other bass speakers, it is not necessary to place it next to a wall to enhance the effect of the lowest frequencies. . In addition, to this we must add what I mentioned before, that it is wireless, so that the freedom to choose its location will be total.
These Razer Nommo V2 Pro are compatible with THX Spatial Audio and 7.1 sound , so that we can use them with sound profiles specially designed for certain games (you can check the list of compatible titles at this link ). And, of course, the experience is completed with the brand’s unmistakable LED lighting, which in this case we will enjoy indirectly, since it is projected from the rear of the two speakers.
The Razer Nommo V2 Pro is compatible with PC, mobile devices, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. They will go on sale next June and its recommended price is 449.99 euros .
Razer Nommo V2
In terms of performance, this kit made up of two speakers and a subwoofer is quite similar to the Pro version, although it has two notable differences with respect to it. The first is that, in this case, the subwoofer connection is via cable , and that in this case the wireless control of the set is not included, although it is possible to purchase it separately and use it to control the sound.
The Razer Nommo V2 is compatible with PC, mobile devices, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. They will go on sale next June and its recommended price is 289.99 euros .
Razer Nommo V2X
For those users who have a slightly more limited budget, but are attracted by the functions and design of the two main speakers of the Razer Nommo V2 kits, in this offer we find just that, the two speakers with full-range diaphragms of 3”on aluminum phase plugs, which provide great quality and fidelity of sound. These models, yes, do not have LED lighting .
The Razer Nommo V2 X is compatible with PC, mobile devices, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch. They will go on sale next June and its recommended price is 169.99 euros .
Razer Wireless Control Pod
This control device can be very practical, especially in circumstances in which we cannot get lost looking for the combination of keys or the system control to adjust the volume. It is a large rotary dial that, thanks to its Bluetooth connectivity, we can always place in the most suitable location for our needs. In addition, they also have a button that allows you to quickly switch between the different sound sources. And since it uses low consumption connectivity, a full charge of its battery can last up to 8 months .
The Razer Wireless Control Pod comes with the Nommo V2 Pro speakers and will be available as a separate accessory for the Nommo V2 and Nommo V2 X. It will go on sale next August and its recommended price is 59.99 euros .
