Very expensive. Wired controller can be slow and unresponsive. Limited listening "sweet spot."
Controller isnt wireless and offers only power and volume options.

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

There is no doubt in my mind that the Razer Mako THX 2.1 speaker system could be the absolute best 2.1 speaker system available on the market today. Because Razer is a very gamer-centric company, I would recommend use of the Mako with your PC, especi...
The $399 price tag makes this one of the more expensive 2.1 desktop systems out there, in this current age of quick, cheap sub/sat solutions for PCs, laptops and iPods. But the bold look, innovative technology under the hood and --most importantly--th...
