CONCLUSION

   Genesis is not a name i had heard of, not until a few months ago when reader requests started coming in for me to review their Helium 800BT 2.1 Gaming Speakers and well, here we are. Now in terms of design the Helium 800BT may not be anything unique (numerous other 2.1 systems look more or less the same) but thanks to its ARGB lighting it's actually not hard on the eyes, especially in the dark. The same goes for build quality and so even though Genesis says the Helium 800BT is made out of wood it's almost certainly made out of MDF which is what most similar speaker sets are made of (so that's not really a bad thing). What matters most however is audio quality and even though the Helium 800BT doesn't bring anything new to the table it actually produces good overall results. Mids and highs are quite crisp and accurate, bass levels are good (you will need to spend time with the control knobs for the best possible results) and as for output well the Helium 800BT easily fills a large room up and then some (even at max output i didn't notice any audio distortion). The ECO mode is also a nice addition especially with electricity prices skyrocketing but just like with other similar models there's a small delay when it's time for the speakers to come out of standby so do keep that in mind.

   Currently retailing for just 109.57Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the Helium 800BT 2.1 Gaming Speakers by Genesis are priced just around what I was expecting for one such product. Overall, there’s not much to say about the Helium 800BT, they look great in the dark thanks to their RGB lighting, they sound very good and they are priced well so for all that they deserve the Golden Award.
