(2 out of 5)WAYYYY OVERRATED....
Wow after 2 years of this product being hyped at the best 2.1 speaker system on the market, they surely were wrong. 1. My b&w speakers sound better, these have those computer hissing noise when you don't use them. 2. These are similiar to Mirage Onmisats low ends, but instead shoot into the table. Great idea, until you have papers or plastic or paper clips that jingle to your music lol.... Finally the look is modern but really, black lumps around my macbook pro?
Razer tried to be innovative, paid millions on hyping the medium speaker system that you can get for less than 300 with mirage (piece by piece 2.1 sub, 2 satellites, cheap sub = mako). I consider myself an audiophile that loves klipsch and b&w for their own unique tones due to their tweeters, but these are just eye toys rather than music makers.
Also did i say these were 400 dollars and took 2 years to come out...sheesh i don't know why i preordered (must have been the hype) or else my product was defective which amazon probably will find soon!
(5 out of 5)Best 2.1 system in a while!
After having this system for over a week now, I'd have to say it is great! Like the other reviewer I have other high end speaker equipment for my home theater and am pretty critical over sound qualiy especially when I'm using it for my computer.
This unit replaced my Logitech z500's 5.1 set which was great when it came out 6yrs ago but 5.1 on the desk can get annoying after a while.
The unit's volume control is slick and the speakers definetly fill the room in terms of sound and bass. I havnent heard any hiss sound from the speakers when not in use, only reason I know to look for this is because my logitech used to do the same thing (drove me nutz). Only issue I would have is the lack of an optical output.
(5 out of 5)The Best PC speakers on the planet
Just got it and the sound is just incredible. The best speakers on the planet for PC. There is a reason why the price is $400 bucks, but it sounds like it should be $3000 dollars. I am throughly impressed.
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE VOLUME CONTROLLER:
I also read that many people are having troubles with the touch volume slider and how it is hit and miss. Let me clear this for you. "You are touching the wrong part of the slider". DO NOT touch the lines in blue. Right under the blue lines is a strip where you control the volume and it is super sensitive and responses very well.
Read your manual. It explains it better in there (with pictures).
Run, don't walk, and buy these speakers. In this case, buy from Amazon and you will be amazed of the best audio you will ever heard.

Typical Razer craftsmanship, and typical THX sound quality. This is quite possibly the most satisfying 2.1 solution for desktop audio.
(4 out of 5)Razer Mako 2.1
Needless to say the speakers look incredible. The setup is quite easy and the wired remote control is quite intuitive. Now the important part the sound. It takes some tweaking of the bass to get it just right otherwise it can sound a bit "boomy"....but once dialed in these little speakers can pump. With the sub on the floor the two small satellites are fairly inconspicuous.
Not cheap...but worth the money if you are looking for great audio in an awesome looking package.
