INTRODUCTION:

Logitech G560

The Logitech G560 is one of the speakers set in the market that comes with RGB lighting. These are the 2.1 speaker system which means these comes with two satellite speakers and one subwoofer. These speaker sets are currently retailing for around a hundred and eighty dollars.

Razer Nommo Pro

The Razer Nommo Pro speakers are the overkill top-of-the-line speaker release from Razer. The Razer Nommo chroma desktop speakers that’s their baseline version, the pro model is gonna be $500 so definitely hefty but they sound amazing.

DESIGN: 

Logitech G560

The satellite speakers are quite lightweight, they feel quality in terms of the build, and it feels very durable. On the top, we have the Logitech button, up and down for volume, on the back you have a Bluetooth button, a power button, and an auxiliary input there so if you want to plug in a headset. With this, they say that you can actually connect up to four devices to this as well. This satellite speaker actually links up to the subwoofer or connects to the subwoofer via like a VGA cable with this which I thought was quite interesting.

Then you have the other satellite speaker as well, it has labeled on there as the right speaker and left speaker, so you can actually see left and right channels here. Then we have the subwoofer here but you also have the plug-in, so this actually connects to your computer via USB and then they have like a proprietary deal but it’s their micro USB connector here which has the teeth on it. The good news is if this gets lost you can just use a regular micro USB here. But this actually kind of grips into the object, this is what comes with the power play and it comes with the wireless mice that Logitech has, so that’s how you actually connect this to the computer. Then just behind the subwoofer, we just have a power cable there.

Razer Nommo Pro

Out of the box, you get four main things to get this up and running the two satellite speakers, the subwoofer, and their control pod. At first glance, definitely a more aggressive look to this but pretty much similar to the Razer Nommo speakers but now you have that tweeter up on the top and it’s pretty nice looking over all the nice matte black finish. But the great things about these speakers are there are actually no buttons, no controls on the speakers themselves, that’s all done separately right there on the control pod that they include.

The entire top wheel on the control pod is a volume dial, your power button is there, you can go through and switch between all the different inputs and stuff, and on the side, you also have an auxiliary input as well as a headphone jack, and the button for switching the source inputs. With that headphone jack there if you want to plug in a pair of headphones, it’ll mute the speakers and you can have then full control of your audio as well from this control pod. Obviously, for your gaming setup at your desk having this there at an arm’s reach is gonna be really great, you can just quickly switch up those inputs, control the volume, and stuff. So the fact we have a control pod is really great for your desk setup.

The massive subwoofer that comes with these is exclusive to the Pro model. The regular Nommo speakers do not have this and this thing is absolutely insane. This massive cylindrical subwoofer just definitely packs a punch and the sub here’s where you’re gonna have all your connections on the back and this is where everything plugs in to. There are ports for the left and right speakers up top, then the control pod plugs in there, then you’re optical in, a USB to your PC, the power button, and then the actual power cable. What’s also great is you can connect these via Bluetooth to your smartphone or your PC and stuff like that if you want to have a wireless connection.

FEATURES:

Logitech G560

This does have the four lighting zones but with the light sync, it’s actually supposed to they tout it as a more immersive experience because the light itself is supposed to mimic lighting that’s going on in the game or the coloring that’s going on in the game. The setup was actually pretty easy just plugging everything in. The USB is plugged into the back of the PC there, so all of that was super easy.

Dealing with the software was a little bit more difficult if you have the old Logitech software, so you need to update your Logitech G hub software. I actually liked the look of it, it’s a much cleaner looking piece of software where you can actually tweak everything. Here you get to change everything and you will have a screen sampler right on your screen. We have that locked, on locked we can put it on a fixed color and you get to change whatever that color is gonna be which is really good.

Also, you’re going to deal with the two different color zones, with your front and back. Then we have the color cycle that you can change that and I like the fact that you could actually change front and back depending upon that. So, we can have a fixed color on the front and then cycling on the back or we could change both of them. We can have a breathing color, if we wanted to you can change that color. That is really good that with the different effects you can change the rate of cycling if you wanted to and then it’s displaying actually what it’s doing on your screen which is really good. You can also turn them off if you want, the harder part here is screen sampling is something that you are gonna have to spend more time with.

The old software it gave you a list of games that was supported I tried those games and it didn’t work, it was actually clicking me into a 16 by 9 ratio as well because this is a 21 by 9 aspect ratio monitor was clicking me into the 16 by 9 so updating the new software has helped with that. But I noticed all the games that were doing that I actually had to change the sample boxes as well. So if we go in here to edit, you get to pull these sample boxes to wherever you want them to be but I’ve noticed with a lot of games this being in the corner and you can lock that effects too, so it won’t try and do anything else. The game Settings are really just color boost, so you can actually boost that all the way up. We can also go in there and do an equalizer, you can change the acoustics, you can give assignments to the G button.

Razer Nommo Pro

Obviously, like with most Razer products, you can go into the Synapse software and customize the RGB lighting on it because there’s actual RGB lighting around the base of this but that’s not really a big thing. You can also go in and change up different EQ, make your own EQ if you want, they have preset for like gaming, music, movies, etc.

These are possibly overkilling for a bedroom setup or for a desk setup because they just get very loud and for five hundred dollars you don’t want to be keeping these at like 10% volume. These are gonna be the best fit for something bigger where we can really push these to their potential. Using these in a living room or in your entertainment setup and that’s where I think these are gonna be utilized the best. Because you’re gonna have more space, more room overall to really push these to their potential.

I had these seated on each side of my TV in the living room and the speakers are that angled in a position towards me where I’d be sitting on the couch. Its kind of triangle setup is definitely gonna work best here and it’s the same setup process but we have it hooked up to our TV via the optical cable. The reason I said these are gonna be best utilized for a living room setup it’s because these things get crazy loud. Like even we used to keep them at around 35 to 40 percent in volume at max and that fills our room completely. So depending on how big or how small your space is, you are not gonna have an issue with hearing these.

The same goes for the subwoofer that’s usually kept around 50 to 60 percent as I like a little bit more bass. So when I’m watching movies or playing games where I will bump it up a little bit but the subwoofer here has some crazy punch. With my particular living room set up that little control pod isn’t gonna be really well utilized unless I want it draped across the entire floor in the living room which is something, I don’t want. But you’re gonna be keeping it on your entertainment console, where you have like a PS4 and Xbox one or whatever if you want to make some quick adjustments there you can mount it.

Console gaming with these which I absolutely loved, I’m not too big of a console player but in a living room setup like this on a 65 inch TV it’s still awesome and with the speakers, the audio is just next-level. Since the optical cable is plugged into the TV, the audio automatically transmits you could also plug it into the back of your Xbox or your PS4 if you want but just having it to the TV works fine.

The one problem in particular with these new Nommo Pro speakers and I think it is a huge miss on their end is the fact that there is no dedicated remote control with these that is wireless. They have that control pod but that’s wired, that’s tethered to that subwoofer. They definitely should have included a wireless remote as you get with the SoundBar as you get with any sort of speaker that you would buy for a living room or for your TV that’s what they’re made for. What they do to kind of counteract that is they actually released an app for Android and iPhones called the Razer Nommo Pro and this is a way to kind of makeup for that.

You do have all the control there in that app, it’s very user friendly, you can go in and change the connectivity, the base levels, the volume levels, you could even change the RGB lighting, switch between the sound, EQ and even make your own EQ. So it’s good they have that but I don’t want to use my phone as a remote control. If my phone’s dead or my phone’s just not on me I can’t change the volume or anything without having to actually get up and go to the control pod itself and then adjust it manually. I wish I had a wireless remote control with this. As far as the EQ is kind of it’s better you make your own.

SOUND QUALITY:

Logitech G560

With this being the 240-watt speaker system this is gonna pump out a good amount of sound. The audio itself is phenomenal, this thing is incredibly loud, and you can tweak the acoustics. I’ve heard complaints from some people where they’re like it just has too much of bass to it, you can’t tweak that stuff just a little bit that I’ve been able to play the bass sounds fine to me. But I haven’t done anything in the cinematic yet, the channel having the two different speakers here and how it’s actually giving you that sound is very good, and creates a more immersive experience here. At about 50% volume itself, it was loud enough, I haven’t tweaked anything on my monitor, I’ve done everything in the software so I don’t know if that’s gonna have any effect on it but that’s really loud at this 50% volume point. The sound quality is amazing just right off the box.

Razer Nommo Pro

The sound quality for $500 these things really gonna impress you and trust me they do. Two things on these particularly stuck out to me and first are gonna be the wide soundstage and the difference of the chambers here which can help you clearly distinguish all the different frequencies and tones and your music. For example, with the subwoofer obviously, it’s gonna be all your bass, this mid dome is gonna be for your mids and the tweeter up top is gonna be for your treble and your higher frequencies in your music or your gaming whatever. When you’re sitting right next to these you have these in your room or wherever you can really clearly tell that and it kind of gives it a whole new listening experience. I will say these have a warmer sound signature that could be kind of drowned out sometimes by the overpowering bass.

The woofer on this thing is insane, at a hundred percent you’re gonna rock the house. I usually keep this for example at around 10% if I had this in my gaming setup, add it around 50% volume if I’m only sitting a few feet away from it, that’s gonna be more than loud enough. At the same time, if you do have them at around 20% or a comfortable volume level for you, the sound quality’s gonna be amazing. You’re gonna clearly distinguish the left and right channel, from where footsteps are coming, there are explosions and stuff that subwoofers gonna definitely rock your chair.

WHICH ONE IS WORTH BUYING?

The Razer Nommo Pro is gonna be more for gamers and you had that flexibility using these in the living room, kicking back on a nice TV, filling the room, console gaming, watching movies, or if you want to bring them into your room and have them for your desk setup still, five hundred dollars is just a lot but if you gonna use like for all the above purposes then it’s worth buying. If you just want a set of speaker sets for gaming in your PC desk setup for a small room, then the Logitech G560 is also worth buying for its price. The decision is based on your priority that for which purpose you prefer a set of speakers.

Expert Reviews of Razer Nommo Pro:

By Trusted Reviews
The Razer Nommo Pro is an excellent sound system that will improve any gaming set-up, whether at a desk or in a lounge. It offers wonderfully balanced audio and a suitably wide soundstage for immersive movie watching as well. But with pricing starting at £500, it is a very expensive luxury.

Razer’s Nommo Pro desktop speaker system features attractive satellites with programmable, colored lighting, and a powerful subwoofer to give PC gamers booming sound.

By Tech Radar
We’re so impressed by the Razer Nommo Pro’s performance that we’d be willing to pay $499 (£499, AU$849) – what some would consider a steep price for a set of gaming speakers. Not only does it offer a lot of power, but it also produces a sound quality and a soundstage that audiophiles will appreciate. And even if it’s not quite at that level, it’s pretty damn close to it. Then there’s the mobile app, which allows you to customize a number of settings using your mobile device for convenience. If you’re a serious gamer that takes sound and gaming immersion seriously, this is the 2.1 speaker system you’ve been waiting for.

By Sound Guys
I admit that I’m no expert when it comes to gaming, which makes it all the more noteworthy that I loved the Razer Nommo Pro speakers. Whether I was listening to music, watching a movie, or trying to beat Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds for the hundredth time, the Nommo Pro always impressed me. It might not be the most desk-friendly setup thanks to the large speakers and subwoofer, but it makes up for that by delivering a truly impressive sound.

By Tom’s Guide
The Nommo Pro produces beautiful and subtle (or powerful and blaring — take your pick a) sound for games and music alike. Thanks to its THX certification, it can handle directional sound like a high-fidelity headset, while it also gets the job done for just sitting back and watching TV.
