i bought these as well still over wonderful sound quality there is something about them that just makes them work there not like the logitech THQ you will go deaf speakers but these dont have to make a audience go deaf to enjoy
Im actually quite surprised and would even buy a pair of these, love that minimalist design and the led representation of the volume level is just the icing on the cake, Thanks for the Review.
I definitely plan on picking up a set of these. Do I want to spend $50 on just RGB lights? Not really. Am I going to spend $50 on just RGB lights? Heck ya! Great review, keep up the great work!
"High quality UA-camrs" don't necessarily know what they're talking about. Just because they're famous or are in the tech world doesn't make them audio enthusiasts
These youtubers have probably never heard a good set of monitors in their life. That, and selling out to sponsors. Seriously, a great pair of $100 bookshelf speakers or monitors will run circles around these. Razer is marketed towards gamers who buy things because of the branding and looks, not people who actually give half a shit about quality.
You mentioned that the two models sound exactly the same.... But, how good is the DAC? I think that would determine whether I would spend the 50 extra bucks... Thanks!
That Katana sounding lit tbh. Whew, dodge a bullet. Thanks for for that comparison. I wasn't a huge fan of the Katana to begin with so that's saying something
Sounds like a decent low cost option if they are as good as you say. I have some nice B&Os with a mint amp but thats a bit overkill for the amount of hq audio I listen to at the computer.
Very good review, but I want to say a sound test can be misleading, an accurate sound test require a very good microphone and the viewer needs a speaker better than the one being reviewed. I think it's great you have sound tests, but maybe mention that it can be misleading
Thanks for this review!! I just bought these after this video, they’re truly amazing considering their price and strange profile. I was mostly looking for desk speakers that weren’t huge but also weren’t terrible considering my monitor’s inbuilt speakers are awful
i got a pair of the base model nommos (non-chroma) yesterday, they do sound great and i'm happy with my purchase, but... if you don't already a subwoofer you can use, I'd highly recommend checking out logitechs z623 2.1 thx certified system if you really like to feel your bass, it's in a similar price range where i am (Australia). Only minor gripe i have with the base model nommos so far is that the speakers are joined by a fixed cord you can't unplug from either end. Not really a big deal seeing as the cord is easily long enough to get the speakers to the far ends of my reasonably big desk with plenty of slack left over, it just bothers me when cords aren't easily extendable or replaceable . Btw the logitechs z623 has similar issue with proprietary cords.
no sub at this price point means a no for me. The design looks great but the overall sound experience doesn't seem to do enough. $40 2.1 logitech stereo speakers that come with a sub are minimal enough and sound great for the price.
DACs decode digital sound to analogue. If your PC has a better DAC/sound card, you may prefer to stick with the regular non-USB/RGB Nommos, as the USB Nommos will render it useless.
@HardwareCanucks This might be a weird question, but is there a difference in sound quality between the non-Chroma version and the Chroma version using aux input? I like the LEDs but my setup would work better using the 3.5mm cable...
The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system (THX-certified) is on Massdrop for $119 right now, which is about the same price you can almost always find the Logitech Z623 2.1 system (also THX-certified) at as well. I admit I have not yet heard the Nommo in person, but both the Klipsch and Logitech offerings have to be leaps and bounds better in both frequency range and overall sound quality with more RMS power and actual driver separation with crossovers. Sorry, but one "full range" woofer does not make a complete audio solution, especially at this highly competitive price range. And if you just want a simple 2.0 system, there are excellent small studio monitors at the same price (Mackie CR3s, PreSonus Eris E3.5, etc.). Also, I mean, I don't know about you guys, but I prefer my speakers pointing at my ears rather than my chest. Those stands really should be adjustable. I appreciate the video content and Razer's attempt at creating something unique, but they really need to offer way more features and value at this price range in order to be competitive in my opinion.
sorry I have a doubt I bought them I get them today but when I want to play Minecraft I only hear the sound of the names i open them how can I solution that problem?
How does this compare with Bose Companion 2 Series 3 or Companion 20? I'm also interested in knowing how the Nommo Pro compares to Bose Companion 5 or 50?
Some people said "The lack od tweeter on the lower-end model of razer nommo, makes the speakers sounds worse than the other simillary priced speakers." Is that true?
Looks just like the Woofers of my Lasmex A115. But the A115's also got a tweeter. Even if the Razer Nommos sound as good as the Lasmex, I still only paid 40€ for my pair (brand new). Without a doubt they're not as fancy looking and got no RGB, but the build quality and connection-options combined with the price are easily on top of the Razer speakers. Would be nice if you could get your hands on a pair of Lasmex A115 and compare them.
Just got a pair of the chroma version at a sale. Awesome audio, mostly use to play music and movies. Wish the rgb lightings are brighter as they are too dim. Huge PC speakers but love the unique design.
I purchased these, and was very disappointed. The sound isn't worth the price. Trebles are blurry and distorted, it doesn't fit all kind of musics, especially voices. It can be heard actually in this video at 6'00. The Katana sound has a way better balance. For the same price, get Edifier 1700BT: way better!
Opening: for consumers who want a balanced soundstage. Soundstage: the sounds that seem like they come from away from the drivers, I’m pretty sure you can’t get soundstage with speakers.

What's with the distracting router light on the desk??
If you want good desktop speakers? Get a set of the logitech Z623. It's a 2.1 set and they're THX certified. And the sound quality is fantastic for the price. Which is 100-150 depending on sales
Peredix Gaming I like rgb but I have the razer ornate chroma, firefly, rgb pc fans and a led strip for my desk and too much rgb on your setup is kinda too much IMO
Interesting speakers but why don't the $100 version come with USB connectivity? A 3.5mm jack good for headphones but I think it's past time that desktop speakers come standard with USB connectivity.
I have always liked speakers more than headpones for gaming. Sound isn't locked to your ears and honestly i don't like to wear headphones it's just better when there isn't anything on your head. 2.1 sound is good enough because you can hear from what side of the screen the sound is coming.
Considering the base version. The USB DAC doesn't seem worth $50 dollars to me...and last time I dealt with RGB in a more permanent sense I voided an item's warranty.
i like ur review. u give proper description. im currently using EDIFIER M1380. i like that it has a dedicated amp and volume control with mute switch. not sure if i should switch to razer. thanks
"I WANT TO RGB MY SOUND"
"Say nommo my friend"...
dpanch_89 up you away !!!
Ha ha ha
Up you go
dpanch_89 "fam" not friend you imbecile
no thanks
Finally, speakers for gamers! I'm still waiting for RGB dust filters :)
Please be joking.
Haha, yes.
Jarrod'sTech u must be kidding me rgb dust filter that will be cool
No! I am waiting for RGB motherboard standoffs!
That is a very creative way to implement rgb lol
At RAZER office:
Guys, found something that doesn't have rgb yet, speakers!
But we don't make speakers?
We do now!
You guys always have the most beautiful product shots. Really appreciate the effort that goes into each video.
I got these, and there ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD...
Okay kripp
THEY'RE
i bought these as well still over wonderful sound quality there is something about them that just makes them work there not like the logitech THQ you will go deaf speakers but these dont have to make a audience go deaf to enjoy
It is better compare to jbl flip 4?
Are they yeah? I've just got a new set there ?
These look like surveillance cameras.
nice hairdryer
Descenter1976 but is it rgb?
Descenter1976 lol
And Asus has a DEO Stick
yes, hilarious haha
And trash can subwoofer
Im actually quite surprised and would even buy a pair of these, love that minimalist design and the led representation of the volume level is just the icing on the cake, Thanks for the Review.
nommo?
Razer have nommo ideas for their naming scheme, eh?
No, they're still following their naming scheme for Audio ;) The Nommo are a mythology Water thingy
found these on clearance at walmart for $80 glad to know it was def a deal.
Really dislike the cable routing. Ruins the unique aesthetics.
I definitely plan on picking up a set of these. Do I want to spend $50 on just RGB lights? Not really. Am I going to spend $50 on just RGB lights? Heck ya! Great review, keep up the great work!
This review is a breath of fresh air. Straight to the point, and a very pleasant sounding voice to boot.
I switched my Bose companions for the razer nommo chroma , man what was I missing! These speakers are definatly worth the buck ! They sound amazing.
Wtf

Everyone is sceptical and think these are trash yet every video I’ve watched on these posted by honest, high quality youtubers have said otherwise...
CHIZZ'd Paid reviews.

Will93 Well Dmitry has done plenty of videos against gaming oriented audio. So at least he knows a little bit of what he's talking about.
Jeremy Clarkson Yeah, you're right. I forgot he has HD800s.
I received them yesterday and I'm really happy. Got the chroma edition, and they work great :D
As soon as I was on the website to get a pair and this was uploaded. Perfect timing.

O: I have that same desk mount lamp. It feels like you guys furnish the whole set with stuff from ikea.
Sooo, they can't be used together with a Sound Blaster?
Good review and not stretching to 10 minutes. liked
Wow! These shots at the beginning are a masterpiece!
Can't wait to see your review on the Nommo Pro!
This man is the perfect for all gaming build research because when ever I search for what I want his video appears
You could add a subwoofer ussing the headphone port and modifying the speakers to keep playing while headphones are connected
Awesome review, the comparison to Katana shows the difrence beteewn a speaker with dedicate subwoffer and one without.
I love my setup with this Razer Nommo Chroma. Good purchase with the quality sound.
Do they like tilt or they just stay in that position?
50 Are way to much for just RGB
It has a built in dac aswell, but yes 50 is way too much for the small extras
and a subwoofer and a dac
+Gabe Taylor. Nope, that is the 500 usd version
There's a DAC with the Chroma (There has to be for USB source audio) the Subwoofer is the Pro only, the pro also has an extra set of tweeter drivers
DACs decode digital sound to analogue. If your PC has a better DAC/sound card, you may prefer to stick with the regular non-USB/RGB Nommos, as the USB Nommos will render it useless.
If the HC approve, its worth it. Got a huntsman mini on their reccomendation. Havent looked back!
Looks good, but why not buy a pair of Sennheiser hd598s for the same price?
YO I'm lil less on budget so is this good to buy these as my music production studio monitoring ??
I'm really confused. You said the chromo version has a USB for sound input but I didn't see it on yours?
Just got mine. Really great and loving them
I might just pick these up! Going to check out the newegg reviews on release!
Can it doubles as a headphone stand and does the DAC amplify headphones when plugged in ? does the knob amplify headphones ?
Which one is better ? Z333 or this speaker ?
Are logitech going to update their speakers soon. Its been a long time
Just bough these today...LOVE THEM!!!
Do you recommend these for gaming with fps?
Do they work with xbox
What type of monitor are you using?
@HardwareCanucks This might be a weird question, but is there a difference in sound quality between the non-Chroma version and the Chroma version using aux input? I like the LEDs but my setup would work better using the 3.5mm cable...
Justin White Both feature identical drivers, so you shouldn't hear a major difference between the two via AUX in.
The Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system (THX-certified) is on Massdrop for $119 right now, which is about the same price you can almost always find the Logitech Z623 2.1 system (also THX-certified) at as well.

Better than Creative gigaworks t40 ?
Regarding the Logitech Z906 (my currently). Is it worth changing for Nommo Pro? In terms of sound quality. Which one is the best?
I have the Katana already. Would the non-Pro Nommo be comparable?
Klipsh R15 PM Powered bookshelf speakers with wireless sub....400 bucks.
But it doesn't come with RGB so my set up is trash.
But it's not intergrated in Razor software... Im not going to RGB like a Pilgrim.
5ean 5ean chartwell ls3/5a and ls50's but no rgb sooo :(
Very nice, the Klipsch's are good. You definitely don't need a pair of these ;)
Are you using gels or an rgb light for this b-roll?
Does the DAC improve the sound without needing to use the software on the PC?
I just bought the Logitech Z625, I´m like blown away. This things sound freaking great. (I have never bought a 2.1 system before, just headsets).
sorry I have a doubt I bought them I get them today but when I want to play Minecraft I only hear the sound of the names i open them how can I solution that problem?
How does this compare with Bose Companion 2 Series 3 or Companion 20? I'm also interested in knowing how the Nommo Pro compares to Bose Companion 5 or 50?
Some people said "The lack od tweeter on the lower-end model of razer nommo, makes the speakers sounds worse than the other simillary priced speakers." Is that true?
Would these be good to use with a laptop?
Sounds like they'd work similar to the Bose Companions. A bit resonant and more distortion in the bass I thought
Looks just like the Woofers of my Lasmex A115. But the A115's also got a tweeter. Even if the Razer Nommos sound as good as the Lasmex, I still only paid 40€ for my pair (brand new). Without a doubt they're not as fancy looking and got no RGB, but the build quality and connection-options combined with the price are easily on top of the Razer speakers.
Would be nice if you could get your hands on a pair of Lasmex A115 and compare them.
Hello HardwareCanucks: Between the Razer Nommo and the JBL Pulse 3, which one would you recommend?
is it fine to use a 3.5 splitter to play sound on both the soundbar and nommo at the same time?
Does it also perform that good on the ps5?
I 'd like to hear you review the Nomo Pro soundstage compared to the Katana, if you could get your hands on one sometime.
How would you say this compares to the Soundblaster Kratos S5, which is more in line with this pricepoint than the Katana?
Just got a pair of the chroma version at a sale. Awesome audio, mostly use to play music and movies. Wish the rgb lightings are brighter as they are too dim. Huge PC speakers but love the unique design.
What's this like compared to the leviathan?

It can be heard actually in this video at 6'00. The Katana sound has a way better balance. For the same price, get Edifier 1700BT: way better!
These should be a SoundBlaster product...they look like Blaster pistols from some funky sci-fi movie that was never released.
Sorry but what is the best Wire less headset??
I already have the Z506 plugged into my Sound Blaster Omni 5.1 so my sound setup is pretty good already.
Is it better than studio Hercules speakers of 90$?
Opening: for consumers who want a balanced soundstage.
Soundstage: the sounds that seem like they come from away from the drivers, I’m pretty sure you can’t get soundstage with speakers.
What's with the distracting router light on the desk??
What mobile stand is that on your desk? Looks nice and sleek - I want D:
Great review! Thank you
Very honest review, thank you
Can you use them just for music and TV? X
What is the height and the lenght? Im afraid of not fitting on my desk
is this better than the Bose Companion 2 Series 3?

Would you take the Edifier Luna Eclipse or the Razer Nommo Chroma?
Peredix Gaming razer cause it way cheaper
Veko and its rgb xD
Peredix Gaming personally I would get the base model cause 50 isn’t worth it for rgb
Yeah :/
Peredix Gaming I like rgb but I have the razer ornate chroma, firefly, rgb pc fans and a led strip for my desk and too much rgb on your setup is kinda too much IMO
Interesting speakers but why don't the $100 version come with USB connectivity? A 3.5mm jack good for headphones but I think it's past time that desktop speakers come standard with USB connectivity.
would this be even close to the leviathan sound quality wise?
Where to buy this thing where the KATANA stands on? I need this :3
Do you think I could setup lights on PC then connect to smart tv
Thanks for the review. I'm buying one tomorrow
