New Drop Desktop Speakers Deliver Big Sound and
Customization Options with a Minimal Footprint

Radiant Audio, designed for the desktop
It’s an age-old problem: your desk doesn’t have the space or aesthetic for full sized bookshelf speakers, so you look for headphones or in-ear monitors with the most “speaker-like” soundstage and “forget you’re wearing” comfort. Where is the sweet spot for personal audio, on a mid-fi budget? Drop is shaking up the audio status-quo once again with completely new and in-house developed Drop BMR1 Nearfield Monitors! We are pleased to offer customizable, high-quality desktop speakers to elevate desk setups for work and play. The Drop BMR1s feature a signature, holographic sound quality that creates a natural soundstage and excellent imaging capabilities, all in a compact size and an amazing price.

Retailing for $129, the Drop BMR1s are designed around balanced mode radiators (BMR) coupled with force-canceling passive radiators, allowing them to play audio loudly, without distortion, and with a wide dispersion so the listener is not confined to a narrow seating “sweet spot” or a single speaker arrangement. They offer an organic and natural tonality, so the speakers are true to the source without sounding overly harsh or bright. If more low-end output is preferred, the Drop BMR1s can easily connect to a subwoofer for better bass and audio depth. If momentary privacy is desired or an internet call is coming in, a powered 3.5mm headphone output with microphone passthrough is included for easy access. For inputs, the speakers include a 3.5mm aux-in so they can be connected to virtually any source device, as well as offering Bluetooth compatibility for wireless and spontaneous connection to mobile devices and computers.
"We consider our community members knowledgeable enthusiasts who are passionate about their gear and curate optimal combinations of performance and design-focused products for their setups,” said Jef Holove, CEO, Drop. "With that in mind, we sought to design speakers worthy of our first entry into the category, and we drew inspiration from our mechanical keyboard community to incorporate the customization and personal expression elements in the speakers, which are so essential to enthusiasts.”
