The price and reliance on hard surface for the best sound quality.

Bright highend
Bass softened by carpet

Very expensive
Requires more space than other desktop speakers
Very expensive. Wired controller can be slow and unresponsive. Limited listening "sweet spot."
Controller isnt wireless and offers only power and volume options.
Touch sensitive controller is beautiful but often unresponsive and ambiguous. Hohum bass performance is a headscratcher. We want to feel our Barry White
Not just hear him.
Touch controls slow responding
Price of admission may be out of reach for many
Fingertip controls could be sluggish to respond
Bass quality reduced on carpet
Touch sensitive control pod not so sensitive
High price-point
Mixed performance with direction-sensitive sounds in gaming
Whichever way you slice it £250 is a lot of money for PC speakers, but in the grand scheme of things it isn’t a lot of money compared to the kind of hi-fi you’d need to produce this kind of sound quality. For that reason we heartily recommend these spe...
Abstract: Razer has been in the business of computer-gaming accessories for years, but most of the company’s efforts have focused on input devices: mice, keyboards, and even mouse pads. These days, the company also makes a few audio products, such as the Mako (w...
Amazing sound reproduction, even at higher volume levels,
The price and reliance on hard surface for the best sound quality.
Razer and THX have a real winner on their hands in one of the best desktop audio solutions we have ever heard. The 2.1 channel Mako has excellent sound clarity even while playing loudly while also being visually-impressive to boot. The price is a maj...
Powerful bass, Crystal clear audio, Excellent gaming, movie, and music experiences
Very expensive, Requires more space than other desktop speakers
The Razer Mako is our favorite high-end speaker set. Even though it requires a fair amount of space to set up, anyone with discerning ears will appreciate the bass and clarity that these speakers offer.
Abstract: Razer products have style. Starting with the Boomslang from years ago, the company always kept an eye on form, presentation, and functionality. The Mako 2.1 speaker system doesnt veer away from the companys roots in the least. Like other Razer produc...
What We Makos Of ItActually in use, the Makos turn out to be a double-edged sword unfortunately and while the speakers do have some very definite benefits thanks to their unusual design, there are some faults you just wouldn’t expect of a £200+ audi...
Abstract: Multi-channel audio has long since been implemented in current PC titles, but few users can afford the money and space of incorporating a 5.1 channel audio system into their PC rig. A 5.1 surround system may be the best way to impress family and friend...

Bass quality reduced on carpet, Touch sensitive control pod not so sensitive
The Razer Mako 2.1 THX Certified Multimedia System is overall a great system. It supplies top notch sound quality across the entire room while still only being a 2.1 sound system. Even though through Razer the price is a hefty $399.99 I still think it...
Abstract: Any gamer can tell you that there are a number of the more important features of hardcore gaming. Graphics, CPU, Ram, are some of the internal parts. After that you get to the sweet keyboard and mouse combo, but more important then anything, you have ...

Only two channels, Bright highend, Bass softened by carpet, $400
These are, despite my leanings, $400 speakers to consider. What they lack in volume they make up for in precision. What they do with sharp highs they make up for in gorgeousness. Rub an equalizer on em, theyre good to go. Really, my criticisms are ro...
