Folks, our new, updated BMR1 is out. A number of community members provided feedback on how the speakers could be better—manual standby mode, cable length, Bluetooth pairing improvements etc. You can read about all the improvements here: https://drop.com/talk/142296/introducing-bmr1-v2.
We appreciate the feedback, and hope the V2 version will be better suited for your desktop.
For the original BMR1 customers, we will provide a unique 40% off coupon in a week. If you'd like to purchase the speakers sooner than that you can do so and we'll issue a partial refund once the coupons are processed next week.
(edit: discount increased to 40% due to current pricing)

To be kind, the first version was something I expect to find in the $10 bin at Microcenter. The audio quality was simply not worth the effort and unless you have discovered new laws of physics, I do not see that improving much given the form. And Zeus help me, the form was akin to - make it seem complicated so it might be confused with quality. I was going to forever hold my comments on these, but the 40% discount feels insulting. Free, with a couple of covers (also free) and you cover the shipping would be a good start at apologizing for this mess. 40% is in no way an apology and the marketing speak hype is still over the top.
As Mr Scott oft said, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Was the “popping” when booting up a PC fixed in this unit? I’d really like to give it a try but if this issue hasn’t actually been fixed I’ll just wait for a V3. Same goes for the occasional robotic warping as mentioned in another comment, I’m struggling with the same issue on my unit still but learned to cope—if neither of these are fixed ah well. Will wait for a response.

pimpomThe new muting circuit on the analog input will help prevent instances of the speakers emitting noise or "popping" when plugging in. Additionally using the standby mode would also prevent the speaker from making any noise while rebooting a PC or other device.
There have also been improvements made on the firmware to improve playback performance and reduce the chances of the speakers occasionally distorting during playback.

Considering how hot the originals got a 25% reduction in heat doesn't sound like nearly enough. The first edition was a waste of my money and I won't be wasting money again on another pair.

I gotta say this doesn’t feel like a v2 at all. You still have the proprietary connector for the other speaker and also didn’t put a physical volume control on it. Why even bother?

MikewannabeesIf you're using the BMRs with a computer, through an interface.., most interfaces have a volume control, for monitoring, built in, negating the need for one on the BMRs

Forgot to update the proprietary connector for the left speaker with a standardized connector!

So if you guys are on the improvement path, how about offering a compatible, under-desk, sub (woofer) as an add-on option to the BMR V1/2? I use a small 6-61/2" woofer that fills in the shy bottom end very nicely.
