this year at CES razer unveiled Erno most speaker line-up and although I don't have time to play video games I can appreciate their design and aesthetics although they do perform pretty well they do have one major Achilles heel but I still like them so much I'm gonna do a giveaway just like the video be subscribe and comment down below with what's your all-time favorite video game and as soon as this video hits 2,000 likes I'll take a letter razors no more speaker line-up consists of three models there's your base razor Nomo speaker for $99.99 there's the razor Nomo chroma which is the speaker I have here for one $49.99 and then there's the razor Nomo Pro for $499.99 now there are some key differences between the base Nomo speaker and the Nomo chroma aside from the RGB base which I will go into in a minute but these first two speakers too are currently available for sale if you wanna pick either of them up I'll have a link in description below and if you use the link it really helps out the channel and they'll release a for the Nomo Pro is still to be announced the razor normal coma comes included with two cables the power cable and an audio cable the other two cables on the Numa chroma are not removable and personally I would prefer if they were braided now the main difference between the base hundred-dollar normal speaker and the $150 Nomo chroma aside from the RGB goodness is that the Nomo chroma connects to your computer via our USB port and has a built-in DAC whereas the base normal speaker connects your computer via a 3.5 millimeter audio jack but everything else is still the same they both have three inch custom moving glass fiber drivers and they both have your firing bass poised but to be honest if you're looking into these speakers you're probably just going to end up going with the razor normal chroma cause I mean come on just look at that base on the base of the Razer chroma you have two knobs one for volume and one for base when you power them on the right base shows you the current volume setting in green and the left base shows you the current base setting in blue and when their speakers are muted both bases shine right through Razer synapse you can choose from four different light settings there's breathing spectrum cycling static and wave you can also adjust the brightness of the effects but customization here is a little limited if you want even more customization options then you'll want to fire up synapse 3 on a PC but I'm personally very pleased by the RGB lighting very vibrant and you can even see the RGB effect in almost every lighting condition now let's talk about sound as mentioned before you have dual three inch diameter woven glass fiber drivers and for their price they sound pretty good and through Razer synapse you can also choose from four EQ presets default game movie and music but obviously you can also just make your own but plainly said the default settings sounds awful the game preset pushes the mids back and puts an emphasis on the lows so that when there are explosions or shots on-screen you feel that extra dimension and with the base setting cranked all the way up the normal chroma can really start rattling things around and the music preset isn't half bad either the mids and vocals are brought to the front and there's a good kick in the bass with very minimal tuning in the highs and like I said the normal chromosome did better than I expected especially in the minim 8 they have a lot of punch in their base but don't expect any reverb in the lows their sound stages obviously good because of their left and right channels but as soon as separation does take a hit more nuanced sounds like let's say an enemy reloading can easily get lost or overwhelmed but bass a max volume the nomic roma gets almost as loud as this jbo boom box and at that max volume distortion is minimal but everything just starts to get overpowered by the bass and for those wondering there's almost no hissing when the nomic roma is just sitting on your desk but the following all the way up but now let's talk about the major design flaw found on anomic roma and maybe even under much more expensive no more Pro and that's between the base and the neck of the speaker obviously due to its design these speakers are very top-heavy and unfortunately the construction between the neck and the bass is very weak my speaker fell a distance of about 3 inches onto the top of the desk and landed squarely on its base but due to the torque applied to the joint between the base and the neck it just snapped and I'm pawned further inspection you can see that the screws used are just way too short and razor used longer screws or more robust marriage between the neck and the base then I feel like weird enough snapped as easily and I'm pointing this design weakness out for a few reasons if you're in college and if you're moving in or out of your dorm you have to be very careful about transporting these speakers if you somehow topple either of these speakers are off of your desk I doubt they will survive the fall but more importantly if the Noma Pro has a similar construction then a few this joynton will be even less effective because the top of the normal pro will be even heavier because of the addition of the tweeters on the top I'm just saying razor needs to fix this issue cuz the minimal effort it took to snap this joint is just disheartening and not a good look for overall build quality I was very impressed with the build quality on the razor styrene X but personally I'm a little disappointed in the build quality on the Razer Nomo chroma but still I do like the razor normal chroma they look like jet engines on your desk but they are a fingerprint magnet their mid-range sounded better than I expected and they're punchy bass gives games that extra mentioned that immerses you even more and come on that our GP base is just super cool and will be even better when used with the synapse 3 but like I just said they are more fragile than I would like that neck is just such a weak point and it makes transporting these speakers a nightmare but let my misfortune be a lesson for you hey if you enjoyed the video please like and subscribe it helps out more than you realize for more product reviews and deal alerts check out Jim Kennedy that net if you wanna
