Anker took it's excellent Nebula X1 projector and said, "what if that but
louder?" The result is the Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro that marries Anker's 4K,
3,500 lumen Google TV projector with a 160W Soundcore speaker, offering what
should be an incredible outdoor entertainment machine.

Marrying these products wasn't just a matter of jamming them into the same
box. The subwoofer was set up to float inside the assembly on a spring-type
system to avoid vibrating the laser-powered 4K video. And to get some
semblance of soundstage, the 80W soundbar speakers fold out to the left and
right of the projector, with two wireless satellites completing the 7.1.4
surround effect. It even supports Dolby Atmos, which the projector on its own
doesn't do, while also offering IP43 protection from light rain and dust,
another feature absent on the Nebula X1.

Otherwise, it's the same excellent triple-laser, glass lens projector I
tested last month that offers outstanding image quality, a simple automatic
setup thanks to the motorized lens and surprising portability. Considering
it's mean for outdoor use, it puts a lot of dedicated indoor projectors to
shame in terms of brightness and color accuracy. When not beaming movies, the
system can also be used in audio-only Bluetooth speaker mode.

The Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro will launch on September 23rd on Kickstarter (at
between $4,000 to $5,000), just as the Nebula X1 projector did. It will then
come to retail a bit later, around March 2026. The company is also offering
the opportunity to leave a $100 deposit and get $500 off.
