Verdict

The Razer Leviathan V2 is a multi-driver gaming soundbar and wired subwoofer system featuring two 95mm full-range drivers, two 20mm tweeters, two passive radiators, and a 140mm down-firing subwoofer, delivering a 65W total output and a frequency response of 45Hz–20kHz. Its main characteristics include THX Spatial Audio for virtual 7.1 surround sound, Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity with 60ms low latency, and 18-zone Razer Chroma RGB lighting, all housed in a compact 500mm-long chassis designed to fit under desktop monitors. Pros include a punchy, room-filling sound with high-fidelity trebles, highly customizable lighting and EQ via Razer Synapse, and a sleek, space-saving design. However, the system suffers from limited physical connectivity, as it lacks the 3.5mm and optical inputs of its predecessor, relying solely on USB-C for wired audio, and some users find the reliance on the occasionally unstable Synapse software to be a drawback.
