Unconventional computer speakers
If you’re in the market for a new pair of computer speakers, there’s a very slim chance you’ll find anything as cool as the Razer Nommo Chroma – these stereo speakers with RGB underlighting take the boxy form factor that we’re normally used to seeing and completely flip it on its head.
The result is a surprisingly good-sounding pair of speakers that don’t break the bank – the entry-level models, the Razer Nommo and the Razer Nommo Chroma only cost £109.99 ($99.99) and £169.99 ($149.99) respectively. To put that price in perspective, there are plenty of 2.0 speaker systems from companies such as Edifier, JBL and Sony that start at £150 and go up from there.
If you’re looking for a little more power, then the Razer Nommo Pro adds tweeters, a separate subwoofer, and an inline remote – although it adds a steep £330 ($350) to the price tag.
The Goldilocks of the group, the Nommo Chroma, balances price and performance to deliver a very solid set of computer speakers that will make anyone green with envy.
Design
The Razer Nommo Chroma is absolutely dripping with Razer’s distinctive aesthetic. The speakers themselves have that matte black plastic finish that we’ve seen so many times on Razer’s mice, keyboards and Bluetooth speakers, and that’s not even mentioning the RGB lighting that pulses underneath the speakers’ stands – a fun, quirky addition that will undoubtedly be hated and loved in equal measure.
