First Impressions = Exactly What I Needed

First of all, I will continuously update this review as the months and years go by. As of typing this out, I've had the V2s for a day, and I absolutely love them! Could I have bought cheaper hybrid (Bluetooth + wired) speakers? Absolutely. Am I saying that these are the best value buys in this price range? Not at all. But the aesthetics, the improvements over the V1s, and the fact that I not only am currently enjoying them but I didn't have an issue figuring out how to set them up makes me happy with my purchase. Again, we'll see how I feel after a few months and hopefully years as I do not buy new speakers until my old ones crap out, but this is a good start. I got them for $79 and thanks to adding other things to my order, shipping was free. I paired them with the grill covers due to me liking the aesthetics of the covers more than the stock look!

Improved Stereo Nearfield Monitors

Everything that made the V1 great, with fixes for the few inconveniences like getting hot, hearing loud static when plugging/unplugging cables, sturdier stand mounts, and power save sleep mode. It is great that the grilles are the same dimensions, so backward/forward compatible. Also wonderful that having a subwoofer output makes it easy to upgrade this stereo speaker set to a 2.1 system for more bass. This is the best stereo speaker set for less than $100 (on sale) with the added bonus of grille color customization and subwoofer connection.

Great Sound, Compact Design

Let me start by saying I'm not as big of an audiophile as some people i know. That being said these are some of the best sounding and clear speakers I have ever had as computer speakers. Even the stuff i cant hear on other speakers or the Tv come through clear, like certain lyrics that are meant to be quieter and in the background. Also i don't ever have to turn them up over about 30/100 in the windows settings. also more bass than i expected from such a small profile (Not impressive by any means but definitely more than i expected) but i do plan on adding a bass speaker to my setup at some point. Lastly at least on the set i received the balance seems perfect (at least to my untrained ears) i did see a few reviews that mentioned this so it seemed worth noting.

Easily one of the best nearfield monitors at the price range

For less than $100, BMR1 provides impressive sound quality. Using these as computer speakers is one of the best choices, either with bluetooth connection or via aux cable for zero delay. I have to emphasize about the size of these monitors, they are so compact with minimalist design while most other popular ones are huge and more expensive. The one and only complaint I have would be that there’s no volume knob or control, this could be the best monitors if there’s a volume knob!

Received a defective unit with poor channel balance.

I was interested in speakers for near-field listening and ordered the V2. Unfortunately, the unit I received had a volume imbalance between the left and right channels. I can't even begin to evaluate its sound quality. 😨

How to make sure you've received V2

V1 was great; V2 is even better, for reasons that are covered in detail in other reviews here: cooler, Bluetooth, etc. Don't be alarmed though if what you receive doesn't say "V2" anywhere on the packaging or its contents. If like me you're concerned, check the power supply: If the output is 20.0 volts, it's V2; if 24 volts, it's V1.

Good but could be better

Great for their size and sound good. Seems to get some interference at certain times. Dedicated power and volume controls would be nice to have. Overally very happy, definitely worth it on sale.

Initial Impressions are mixed but overall positive.

Love the form factor, don't love the stands. Considering designing and 3D printing my own feet (let me know if that interests you, It'll motivate me to go through with it. I want to do some standing feet, a wall mount and maybe even a design to mount these to my monitor. I'll upload the designs for free so please comment) The only other desktop bookshelf speakers I have experience with are my PreSonus Eris 3.5 (gen 1) with the Eris 8BT Subwoofer, obviously compared to a 2.1 setup any (maybe) stereo system will fall short. However, taking into consideration the form factor these are surprisingly good, small speakers will always sound small but these have a nice tone to them they are fairly warm. The treble is inoffensive and have no sub bass whatsoever. Somehow these sound much better in the horizontal position on its feet, I think the sound bouncing off the desk makes them sound like bigger speakers, when they're vertical they lose that. I'm no acoustic engineer, but maybe these could do with some wave guides? (might be good to play with some 3D printed designs). The only other desktop bookshelf speakers I have experience with are my PreSonus Eris 3.5 (gen 1) with the Eris 8BT Subwoofer, obviously compared to a 2.1 setup any (maybe) stereo system will fall short. Connecting these to my sub while receiving audio from my PC through 3.5mm introduced a very audible interference. I could hear the emi my wired mouse was producing as I moved it, I could hear my monitor as the screen changed (like scrolling or text being generated by an LLM), I could even hear my own heart beat (low frequency thumping at basically in sync with my own pulse) HOWEVER I am using a 25ft cable to connect so maybe that's why, BUT I don't get any interference when using this in Bluetooth mode and connected to the sub with the same cable 🤔. V3 wishlist, a dedicated power button (having to hold the button to power off is annoying), volume control, more space between connections on the back for bulky connectors, no more proprietary connectors, internal DAC would be cool, USB/Coax. Should you get these? These are niche speakers, if you need the space savings then these are pretty much your only option. If you have a sub you can connect these to you will be happy. If you don't have a sub don't expect these to drive you to get up and dance. If you have the space, bigger is just better.

Solid Sound - Break in required

Initially I was disappointed with how they sounded. It was tinny and I could swear they were out of sync, but after a few days they were solid, especially given their form factor/price.
