Razer Mako 2.1 THX Speaker System
Great sound, great look!
Written by SR from San Jose

I wanted new speakers for my computer, which is where I spend most of my time. I listen to music, watch movies, and play games (W…Read moreoW and others). My research led me to compare the Bose Companion 5, Focal XS, and Razer Mako. I had a Bose SoundDock in the past and was happy enough with it, but had no experience with either Focal or Razer. Reviews online seemed good for all three, so it seemed that I couldn't make a wrong choice. I ended up choosing the Razer because I thought it had the slight edge on sound (to my ear), it definitely has the edge on looks (very zen; I don't really like tiny speakers up on skinny stands), and I like that it connects via a standard minijack rather than USB (in case I want to hook it up to something besides a computer). Having used them for several months now, I can say that I am 100% happy with my decision to buy the Razer Mako!

Razer Mako 2.1 THX Speaker System
Amazing

These speakers are amazing. I have had them for almost a year and they still give me prefect sound every day. I am a audio enthusi…Read moreast and I put sound quality over everything when it comes to the stuff I use to power my music. My dad has Bose Champion 5 and they cant compare...at all. These wonderful little things have their circular construction for a reason. The round shape of the speakers give the sound a more complex motion in your room, rather than just firing the sound strait at you they go to all directions giving them a surround sound feeling(without the stress of 10 speakers). I can go 7m (22 feet) from my speakers and the volume is the same as if i stand right next to them. The volume knob is a bit tricky to get used to but once you do you can fully appreciate the beauty of the LED lighting. The bass control is also a nice touch. So take it from me, they are worth every penny.

Best 2.1 speakers ever? maybe for playing GAMES!!!!
Don't you even compare these to bose companion 5!
ok first of all, I have bo…Read morese companion 5. After reading all the great comments about this Mako sxxx, I went ahead and bought it. Guess what? These just didn't come anywhere close to bose companion 5.
I'm so so mad at the person down below who said "these put bose companion 5 to shame". I admit bose is a bit over priced but that person totally fooled me!(16 of 34 people found this review useful)

No longer on the Fence!

These speakers were brand new to the apple store, and after reading ~five reviews online, with one being negative I decided to tak…Read moree 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!

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 contr…Read moreol 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.

Razer Mako 2.1 THX Speaker System
perfect balanced sound for a small room

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…Read more 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.(33 of 40 people found this review useful)
