Anker‘s new Nebula P1 projector solves an irritating issue with the built-in speakers of portable projectors: the best place to put the projector isn’t always the best place to have speakers, especially if you’re projecting from a distance.

Here’s how the Nebula P1 solves that: its two 10W speakers are detachable, and because they use Bluetooth, you don’t need to run any wires anywhere. They run off battery power with a claimed 20 hours of listening time, although the projector itself is mains-powered. Anker recommends its SOLIX power station if you want to take the P1 off-grid.

This isn’t the first Anker projector we’ve seen with pop-out speakers: the X1 Pro has them too. But the P1 is considerably more affordable, with a US price of $799 (about £600 / AU$1,219) before early bird discounts. The X1 Pro is $4K plus.
