Drop BMR1 Nearfield Monitors Can Rotate to Fit Underneath Your Screen
These nearfield monitors deliver sound clearly right up to your ears from just a foot or two away, and can rotate to fit in anywhere.
There was a time not that long ago when nearly every computer monitor was bookended by a pair of computer speakers. A lot of them were very ugly. But my favorites from that bygone era were the Harman Kardon SoundSticks (note, they’re still in available in their fourth iteration); the clear jellyfish subwoofer with a pair of elongated speakers presented itself as much a sculpture as a sound system.
But as many folks ditched desktop rigs for laptops and computing evolved into an “anywhere, everywhere” reality, headphones and wireless earbuds became increasingly the way we’d listen while typing, mousing, or even swiping away behind our screens. That makes the Drop BMR1 Nearfield Monitors announced at CES 2023 an interesting throwback proposition, a pair of Bluetooth 5.0 speakers that can be rotated in horizontal and vertical orientations intended to park itself right back on the desk like it was the year 2000.
The ability to rotate these speakers addresses an issue anyone with a smaller desk often runs into: placing speakers to the sides can eat up valuable (or non-existent) real estate. But with the ability to turn these horizontally, sliding these speakers underneath the screen becomes an option.
