Razer Mako 2.1 THX Speaker System
No longer on the Fence!
Written by NS from Winchester

These speakers were brand new to the apple store, and after reading ~five reviews online, with one being negative I decided to take a chance. The other speaker system that I was looking to get was the Sound Sticks II, and after hooking these up it was clear that I made the right decision. The speakers are very well constructed, nice to look at and the sound is incredible. I compare the capability of this small speaker system (Frequency response, not SPL) to that of my Sunfire True Subwoofer EQ Signature and Paradigm SA-35's/SA-15R's in my 5.1 Home theater system. These are very accurate speakers, fully capable of handling down to ~20Hz with authority and they do it all while looking very good on the desk. If your looking for a quality speaker system, that is capable of full range music playback, then you can't go wrong with this choice! …More

Razer Mako 2.1 THX Speaker System
Simply Amazing!! Worth every penny :)

WOW. I just bought these speakers last week. I barely opened it today and WOW!! Same price as the Boise speakers but you can control more. On the pad I can control the bass, mute and line 1 and 2, along with the volume. It awesome because on line is for the computer and the other line is for any other device you want. The pad is a bright blue that will grab your attention. Oh also. The speakers r what they look like on the screen but the base in person is huge and puts out a lot, but where you can hear everything equally... I would defiantly recommend this product to anyone. …More

Razer Mako 2.1 THX Speaker System
perfect balanced sound for a small room
Written by AC from toronto
Dec 16, 2008
I just got these babies last week and i must say thye put the bose companion 5's to shame. The control disc is a finicky for sure but the sound is great.
These are not for someone whose idea of good sound is being able to feel it rumble in your chest. These are a tad more subtle. But i found them to be fairly rich and clear. Great throw for a 10 x 10 room. Sound is full and game action seems to come from all around. Hard to find in Canada but worth the effort. The price went from $375 to just over $600 in the last week. …More38 of 45 people found this useful

Great sound, short lifespan...
Written by BF from somerset
Oct 12, 2009
Although the system creates a great sound, the durability of the product is awful. I've sent the speakers in not once but twice for repairs for things that the company couldn't explain. The razor company refuses to pay for shipping and their costumer service is not the greatest, if your going to spend the money get something that will last longer than a half a year, seriously not worth the money... …More

Razer Mako 2.1 THX Speaker System
Disappointing, audition FIRST! LOUD, BUT TERRIBLE SOUND!
Written by IW from Epsom
Jul 26, 2009
I suggest that the people who are giving these 5 stars cant' have auditioned them very well. Admittedly an apple store is not ideal, so having purchased these and several other speaker sets, using apples 14 day policy I took them home. These were tried against the following. JBL Creatures, Bose Companion 3, Bose Companion 5,
Logitech Z-5500 5.1 THX Speaker System and the Ferguson Hill FH007 Mini Speaker System. The Razer Mako was very disappointing. I'd agree with the comments that the Bose 5 was better, however, the Ferguson Hill's stand out. Go JBL or Ferguson Hill
In order, after games play, movie watching, classical and rock music.
1/ Ferguson Hill.
2/ JBL Creatures
3/ Logitech
4/ Bose 5.
5/ Razer Mako.
6/ Bose 3.
Please please please demo these before you rate them!
