Final Thoughts and Conclusion
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, especially if you are into first-person shooters, action-adventure titles, and other games where sound plays a major factor. That said, the THX-ness also makes it thoroughly enjoyable for watching movies and listening to music.
Realistically, there are only two barriers to entry for me when it comes to the Mako. First, it’s not a 5.1 or a 7.1 system, so anyone seeking surround sound may have to look elsewhere. That said, the Mako is versatile enough to be used with just about any audio source, because it handles both standard 3.5mm and dual RCA inputs. Second, the relatively high $399.99 price tag may serve as a deterrent to some potential buyers. It’s a little pricey, but believe me when I say that it’s totally worth it.
The Razer Mako THX 2.1 speaker system, with its beautiful and absolutely smooth sound production, is positively orgasmic. If you’ve got $400 to blow and you’re happy with 2.1, the Mako is the system for you.
