these things will impress you right out of installation about how you listen to things. i have a 1080p monitor so i have bluray movies that look amazing on it though. my old speakers were pretty decent, but nothing like this! now my speakers SOUND as good as it looks on my monitor. feels like i'm in a movie theater almost. makes downloading FLACs worth it, as well as other high quality audio formats. it allows you to hear all the smaller details that are obscured by lesser quality speakers. these are simply the best speakers i've ever used, and i'd recommend them to anyone. one thing i should add though is that i'm running these speakers in combination with my HT | OMEGA STRIKER 7.1 sound card, so that adds to how amazing music sounds on my computer, but even without it these speakers would still sound amazing. i can't imagine a day coming up when i own these speakers and am not amazed by them. buy them asap. ASAP!!!

If you are going to buy a desktop 2.1 system. This is the only one to consider.
You won"t believe the sound quality and the construction quality.

THX/Razer has raised the bar in speaker engineering!!

Pros: The ClassHD amplifier makes a HUGE difference, as well as the drivers themselves. They have an EXCELLENT frequency range and I haven't heard any major distortion even at the very highs and very lows. At one of my buddies house I heard a speaker systems (it was a 7.1 system) that cost in excess of $14,000, and I must say, in terms of actual sound quality that the Mako hangs REALLY close to that. I also really enjoy the actual design of the speakers. Having the speakers face the desk makes them incredibly easy to clean and have a really cool futuristic look to them. The downward firing of the system really helps the sound "envelope" the area. The remote is extremely easy to use. I love that you can quickly switch between Line1 and Line2 so quickly, can plug in headphones or an MP3 player, or adjust volume/bass all in one handy little circle.

Cons: It really brings out how low-quality my school laptop's audio output is. That's not really a con though. I kind of expected a shortcoming like that from a fruit.

Other thoughts:
-Let me start by listing what I was used to listening to for the purpose of giving an idea of my experience with speakers/sound quality: I had a Bose 201 series speaker system (very old, but still a pretty decent setup) and Beyerdynamic DT770 headphones (cost $200). I consider my ears to be quite fine-tuned to sound quality. Right out of the box though, these blew me away.
-I hope for there to eventually be a way to expand the system to a 5.1 or 7.1, even if it requires using another outlet.

this system is so good i ordered a second one for my dad. i use this system as the speaker system for my new computer and as my entertainment systems sound delivery. (i use my big screen hdtv as my monitor and talk about immersion. movies and music sound crisp, explosions are delivered. this is an amazing system. thank you Razer!

This product is the best speaker system I have every heard for the computer, before I bought this system I tried out Logitech and none of their speakers systems came close to comparing to these. At first they seem a bit expensive but they are definitely worth the price.
