REVIEW

The Razer Mako 2.1 computer speaker system features new THX-developed technology that employs down-firing drivers. By using the surface of a desk as a reflective tool, the Mako is supposed to be able to disperse sound more evenly throughout a room. Do these pod-shaped speakers actually deliver on this promise? That's debatable. What isn't up for debate is that these speakers sound awesome. And for $400, they had better.

Cons

Very expensive. Wired controller can be slow and unresponsive. Limited listening "sweet spot."
