Razer demo blasts surround sound from Nommo audio immersion speakers

I got a blast of sound from Razer‘s new line of audio immersion Nommo and Nommo Pro speakers. The company demoed them at CES 2018, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas this week.

The speakers are designed to give you spatial sound for movies, music, and games. The whole point is to give you help sensing environmental factors in games, such as positional sound that tells you where an enemy is approaching from. Lots of speakers do this, of course, but Razer’s looks cool with its all-black design, cylindrical shape, and Chroma-customizable colors. Razer wants to be the brand for heat-seeking gamers.
