Razer Leviathan V2

The best PC soundbar just got better 

- GUY COCKER

THERE STILL AREN’T many soundbars available for PC gamers, but the original Razer Leviathan made an impression when it launched. It produced great sound, had lots of connectivity options, and had the usual Razer sense of style. That was eight years ago though, so it’s probably time for a refresh.

The Razer Leviathan V2 makes some interesting changes, adding some key new features while dropping some previously popular ones. For example, both the soundbar and sub are larger for fuller audio, and there’s now gamer-friendly Chroma RGB lighting as well as THX Spatial Audio. But we’ve lost the 3.5mm and optical connectivity, which limits the flexibility of this speaker for use with anything other than a PC.

The headline improvements are good news for those who care about audio quality, as the expansion of the internal space in the speaker and sub brings a big boost to sonic performance. The soundbar still fits comfortably under a monitor, but it’s deeper and wider than before. The sub, meanwhile, has expanded outwards to become more of a true cube shape for more impressive bass.
