GX Gaming, which is the gaming peripheral division of Genius, continues to make a serious push to be more than merely relevant in the industry. They have developed some great gaming mice, keyboards, headsets and speaker systems and they clearly have no plans of slowing down. Benchmark Reviews recently had a chance to take a closer look at one of the latest products to come from Genius, the GX Gaming SW-G2.1 2000 Gaming Speaker System. Considering the long-term success of the Genius brand and from what we’ve seen from GX Gaming so far, it is a safe bet to say that this system, at the very least, will not be a disappointment.

Genius has been developing home theater systems and speakers for the PC for years, so my expectations for the SW-G2.1 2000 is that it will be a solid, rich-sounding system. Having said that, the plan is to not only find out how the Genius GX Gaming SW-G2.1 2000 Gaming Speaker System performs as a gaming speaker system, but also how well it performs when it is paired with other devices. Take a look at the following features & specifications of this system:
