Finding the perfect balance between portability and powerful audio-visual performance can be a challenge for home entertainment enthusiasts. Anker’s Soundcore brand addresses this with its latest release, the Nebula P1 projector, a compact all-in-one device featuring a unique design. This model allows users to detach its two built-in wireless speakers, offering placement flexibility similar to the higher-end Nebula X1 Pro but in a significantly lighter 5.3-pound form factor. Currently available through Anker’s online store for $799, the projector is also listed on Amazon with a temporary discount, bringing the price down to $719. Shipments are anticipated to begin in mid-October 2025.
While the Nebula P1 shares some functional concepts with the $5,000 Nebula X1 Pro, its specifications are more modest. The device projects at a 1080P resolution with 650 ANSI lumens of brightness from its LED light source. For the best viewing experience, especially when utilizing the advertised 180-inch projection size, a very dark room is strongly recommended to compensate for the projector’s brightness limitations.
The integrated speakers recharge their batteries only when physically connected to the top of the projector and while the main unit is plugged into a power outlet. This design means the projector itself must remain tethered to an outlet for the speakers to charge.
Setting up the Nebula P1 is designed to be straightforward, thanks to features like autofocus, automatic keystone correction, and a built-in gimbal. This gimbal provides 130 degrees of movement, making it simple to adjust the projection angle for an ideal image. However, its lack of a built-in battery is a notable consideration for mobile use. If you plan an outdoor movie night, you will need a reliable power source and an extension cord. The detachable 10W speakers connect to the projector via Bluetooth and boast an impressive battery life of up to 20 hours per charge, offering substantial wireless audio freedom even though the main projector unit requires a constant power connection.
