Drop’s $130 desktop PC speakers are now just $23 — save a massive 82% on these dual-orientation BMR1 V2 speakers
Now this is a great-sounding deal to jump on today. For just $23.99, you can kit yourself out with a nice shiny new set of Drop BMR1 V2 speakers in a limited-time Woot deal. That’s an unbelievable price for a set of monitor speakers that until recently commanded a price tag of $130. I have seen them cheaper than $130 at various retailers, including just $99 currently at Amazon, but nothing in the realm of $23. This is a limited opportunity to impulse-buy a decent desktop speaker experience at a snip of the original price.

The BMR1 V2 speakers are the new and improved version of the older BMR1. We haven’t had the opportunity to review these more recent speakers, but we did review the original Drop BMR1 nearfield monitor speakers back in 2023. Originally, we were suitably impressed with the looks and styling of the BMR1, and found the soundstage to be rather large, with a good neutral sound for such a thin set of speakers, but we did find issues with the short Aux cable, a lack of included speaker grills, and the right speaker (containing the electronics) getting rather warm after prolonged use.
Some of our previous cons with the Drop BMR1 speakers have been addressed with the Drop BMR1 V2; the right speaker now runs 25% cooler, with improvements to overall speaker performance.
Powerful desktop speakers with a small footprint for maximising desk space. This improved V2 version of the popular BMR1 speakers improves performance and operational cooling. Choose to position your speakers horizontally or vertically thanks to a switchable orientation mechanism. View Deal
What makes the Drop BMR1 V2 nearfield monitor speakers stand out at first glance is the thin vertical orientation of the speakers with a very minimal desktop footprint. You can also switch the speakers to a horizontal position on their stand and easily place them under almost any standard PC monitor for another compact way of installing the speakers.
The Drop BMR1 V2 speakers use Balanced Mode Radiator drivers from Tectonic Audio Labs and can connect via Bluetooth or a 3.5mm Aux cable. There’s also an aux-out port that lets you plug in an optional subwoofer. My only concern is that Drop no longer manufactures these speakers, as far as I can tell. Drop was bought up by Corsair and no longer has the original peripheral listings or shop, focusing more on collaborations with game IPs. So replacing these speakers could be an issue if there is a fault. But for only $23, it’s not a huge issue.
