Third-party reviews

What customers like about Razer Leviathan V2 Pro

  • Innovative AI head-tracking technology that creates a remarkably accurate 3D soundstage for single listeners.
  • Powerful, room-filling audio with thunderous bass performance from the dedicated subwoofer.
  • Effective 'Virtual Headset' mode that mimics the positional accuracy of high-end gaming headphones without the physical discomfort.
  • Sleek, compact design with customizable 30-zone Razer Chroma RGB lighting that fits neatly under most monitors.
  • Convenient physical controls on top of the unit for easy volume, EQ, and mode adjustments.

What customers don't like about Razer Leviathan V2 Pro

  • Very high price point compared to standard desktop speaker setups.
  • Extremely limited connectivity; lacks HDMI, optical, or standard 3.5mm inputs, making it almost strictly for PC use.
  • High-frequency response can sound thin or 'muddy' due to the lack of dedicated tweeters found in non-Pro models.
  • AI head-tracking can be finicky if the camera's line-of-sight is blocked or if multiple people are in the frame.
  • The massive subwoofer takes up significant under-desk space and can be overpowering even at low settings.

Verdict

The Razer Leviathan V2 Pro is a high-end PC soundbar featuring world-first AI head-tracking and adaptive beamforming technology that uses an integrated IR camera to direct 3D audio precisely to the user's ears. Its multi-driver configuration includes five 2-inch full-range drivers and a 5.25-inch down-firing subwoofer, delivering a 40Hz–20kHz frequency response and THX Spatial Audio with 30 zones of customizable Razer Chroma RGB lighting. Key advantages include an exceptionally wide and immersive soundstage that adapts in real-time to your movement, powerful punchy bass, and a compact desktop form factor that fits under most monitors. However, significant drawbacks include its high retail price, lack of HDMI or optical inputs for TV compatibility, and a reported lack of crispness in the high-end frequencies compared to dedicated stereo speakers.
