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

Unfortunately, while the Mako kit is quite possibly the best PC sound setup I have ever heard, its hard to recommend with such a high price tag. This is a shame as it ticks every box: Looks, awesome, sound quality, unrivaled, funky volume control, ch...
The Mako is as expensive as most good 5.1 kits and it sounds almost as good. For fashion-forward audiophiles, its well worth the money. But you might want to clear out your cluttered desktop and shag carpeting first. Darren Gladstone, PC World ...
