Anker Nebula X1 Pro at IFA 2025: flagship projector with slide-out speakers for 360° sound

At IFA 2025, Anker unveiled its flagship Nebula X1 Pro—a next-generation projector that fuses powerful optics with built-in audio on a premium-cinema level. The standout feature is a unique design with slide-out speaker modules that deliver true 360-degree sound. A subwoofer for low-end impact, front-facing drivers, and Dolby Audio support turn the projector into an all-in-one entertainment hub for both home and outdoor use.

The X1 Pro aims for more than a sharp picture; it leans into immersive sound. The speakers can be reconfigured on the fly—from a compact setup to a fully deployed spatial system—so you can tailor the effect to the space. FlexWave technology keeps the image crisp and handles automatic correction even in challenging conditions.

Practical touches like wheels and a carry handle make it easy to move, which broadens where a projector can realistically go—backyard parties, weekend trips, or a campsite. The X1 Pro is pitched as a true all-in-one theater, with no need for separate speakers or receivers.

Alongside the X1 Pro, Anker also showed the Nebula X1 and Nebula P1/P1i—the world’s first projectors with detachable or rotating speakers. These models are more compact but keep the modular mindset, letting users adapt the setup to different scenarios, from a living-room movie night to a presentation. It’s a direction that feels like a logical evolution for this category.

The Nebula 2025 lineup runs on Anker Intelligence, which handles autofocus, brightness tuning, and power optimization. Paired with Soundcore portable speakers, users get a cohesive multimedia setup without juggling multiple systems.

Anker is nudging projectors from niche gadgets toward full-fledged entertainment centers. The Nebula X1 Pro reads as a step toward the theater of tomorrow, where picture and sound live in a single device with striking design and real mobility.
