What owners say about the Razer Leviathan V2 X

Based on 36 owners sharing their experience in online comments

14%positive14%mixed72%negative

Owners like the compact design and lighting, but weak sound, limited volume, and connection failures drive most complaints.

What owners dislike

  • Several owners say the sound is thin and flat with no dynamics, and some find it worse than basic laptop speakers.8
  • Owners say there is almost no bass, and raising the equalizer distorts the sound. No subwoofer is included to add it.6
  • Owners report no sound from PS5 or Xbox Series X over USB, even after changing settings. Some say it does not work with PS5.5
  • Some owners get no sound over USB-C, or the PC only recognizes it after the cable is replugged. Bluetooth sometimes works instead.5
  • Owners say it is not loud enough for music in a room, and the maximum volume stays very low on PlayStation 5.4
  • Bluetooth only works while the computer is on, since the bar has no 3.5 mm jack. Owners also report very bad lag in games.3
  • Owners say the top buttons do not respond and the volume buttons on the bar do not work at all.3

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Razer Leviathan V2 X

  • Compact and space-saving design that fits neatly under most monitors
  • Simple one-cable setup using a single USB-C for both power and audio
  • Attractive 14-zone Razer Chroma RGB lighting that can sync with other peripherals
  • Good volume output and clarity for its small size
  • Convenient Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity for easy switching to mobile devices
  • Solid build quality for a budget-friendly price point

What customers don't like about Razer Leviathan V2 X

  • Weak bass performance due to the lack of a dedicated subwoofer
  • Limited connectivity options with no 3.5mm auxiliary or optical inputs
  • Noticeable audio latency/lag reported by some users, especially in FPS gaming
  • Heavily reliant on Razer Synapse software for meaningful audio and lighting customization
  • Inconsistent performance with some third-party USB-C cables and ports

Verdict

The Razer Leviathan V2 X is a compact 2.0 gaming soundbar featuring two 48 x 95 mm full-range racetrack drivers and two 48 x 105 mm passive radiators, delivering a maximum volume of 90 dB. At just 400 mm in length, it is designed for a clutter-free desktop setup, utilizing a single USB-C cable for both power and audio delivery while supporting Bluetooth 5.0 for low-latency mobile connectivity. Key advantages include its space-saving form factor, simple one-cable installation, and 14-zone Razer Chroma RGB lighting customizable via the Razer Audio app and Synapse software. However, it lacks a dedicated subwoofer, resulting in less powerful bass than the standard V2 model, and it has limited physical connectivity with no 3.5mm or optical ports.
