Razer Leviathan V2, Multi-Driver PC Gaming Soundbar w/Subwoofer, Black

I picked this up for my wife’s gaming setup. I’m not typically a fan of Razer audio gear, but her setup is mostly Razer already, so this fit the theme. It sits cleanly under dual 27” monitors and looks good on the desk. Setup was straightforward, and once it was in place, it’s been mostly “set and forget,” including the RGB. Sound quality is surprisingly good. It’s not quite on the level of my Sound Blaster Katana, but it’s closer than I expected — and it actually gets louder. The THX processing is also more effective than I anticipated and helps give games a more immersive feel. The biggest real-world difference is how much it changed usage. My wife was previously using a Turtle Beach Stealth headset and before that a cheap ONN soundbar. Since getting this, she almost never uses the headset anymore. That alone says a lot. No distortion issues at higher volumes, and it handles both gaming and occasional music without any problems. The only real downside is the subwoofer. It’s not massive, but it’s a noticeable cube under the desk and takes up more space than slimmer designs (like the Katana’s side-firing sub). It’s functional, but you’ll need to plan for it. If you want a clean desk sound solution that’s loud, immersive, and good enough to replace a headset for a lot of use cases, this is a solid choice. If you’re very particular about audio or tight on space, there are better (and usually more expensive) options.

great product. replaced my Logitech g560 speakers. not as loud or bass heavy, but way better clarity and good bass. im happy how simple the connections are as well. makes it easy to cable manage

***Final Update: 04-13-2025: I dumped this hot mess of speakers and bought Creative GigaWorks T40 Series II 2.0 Multimedia Speaker System with BasXPort Technology, Black and man are they awesome! (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001S14DYO?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) It took a little while to get it hooked right but once I did they blast. I hooked them up through a USB soundcard I bought along with the speakers and wished I had bought them instead this one. I don't miss the subwoofer at all as the bass on this set is upfront and nicely loud. ***Update: 04-08-2025 The "scratchy sound has only gotten worse. I would have to restart the computer 5 times or more before it would work. Today the unit just quit and will not play at all. I've gone through reinstalling drivers and all the other fun stuff to no avail. I will be buying something new. ***Update: 09-14-2024 One day the soundbar linked up and that was a surprise. Now Every time I start the computer the sound is all scratchy and distorted. I have to restart the system 2 or more times before it will sound good. It's more of a pain then anything else. --------------------------------------------- I had this for awhile and for the most part it's OK but recently it dropped connection to my desktop. I've tried just about everything to get it to work but no go. I get the blue tooth button flashing to try to connect but nothing. I've been to their website and tried everything that they said but still nothing. I'd love to talk to them but they make it almost impossible to do that. The want the S/N number and each time I type it in it says they can't find it. It won't let me make any contact without the number.

I bought this to replace a typical 2.1 speaker setup. The soundbar has significantly better sounding audio. My goal was to replace the standard audio jack connections from my desktop computer with something USB controlled. Nice features: A lot of volume steps, 50 I think, rather than the typical 10-20 you usually get. Bluetooth support is great and a lot faster to connect than two other speakers I have (as gifts). You can seamlessly switch from USB audio to Bluetooth in well under a second. Comes with sound dampening feet, two pair. One to leave it level, one to angle it. I added an extra set of dampening pads. Powers up quickly. Plus/minus: Integrates with the Razer Synapse software - if you use it, though I don't think it necessary. You can't interface with it via Synapse when using Bluetooth, keeping you from using a unified EQ between devices. Minuses (to me) Not USB powered, it comes with its own brick with a barrel adapter.

Definitely worth the price if you have a razer setup. Bass is nice and powerful and the soundbar isn’t really that hard to find a spot for it. Only downside for others is this is for pc only no other output ports except one type c.

Hooked up this system to my computer yesterday and spent a little over an hour trying to figure out how to get the subwoofer to wake up and give me some sound I could hear without having my ear right up next to it. Well, the instructions are bare minimum and are printed in the smallest font known to man (I had to use a magnifying Lense to read it.) Long story short; there is a software you need to download in order to make sound adjustments and adjust the led lights, it's called synapse and the download dashboard showed up on my screen when I connected all the components, which is actually very simple. I've included screenshots of the software after downloading it below. I actually used "copilot" for some helpful direction on the software download, it seems a reboot of your computer is necessary after download and install in order for all the components of the software to materialize. After finally getting everything in working order, much to my dismay, I discovered that the subwoofer, even after adjusting the output on the equalizer in the software, will not be heard very well unless you have your computer volume turned up to at least, level 50. I went with the settings of the subwoofer and bass equalizer settings that pilot suggested and, yeah, at volume 50 or above, this system sounds really good and you can feel the subwoofer in your chest. Really nice sound; however...I don't like to listen to my computers volume at level 50, it's much too loud. I normally listen at a volume level around 26 to 28, and at that level, the subwoofer is useless, it's quiet as a mouse because the system isn't sending enough amplitude to it to wake it up. Bummer! But, like I said, at 50 or above, that little subwoofer comes alive and kicks you in the chest. I played Boston's "More than a Feeling" at level 50 and the bassline just jumped out of the music, it was great. Ok, so much for that topic, onto the next. The led lights. Well, they are pretty lame. You can adjust what they do and adjust the brightness of them in the software, but even at the highest brightness setting, the lights are hardly noticeable even in a dark room. The pictures used to illustrate the lights are extremely enhanced and not anything like what they really provide. Very disappointing and the makers of this component should be ashamed; they could easily have put brighter lights into this device. Nice idea, but they really dropped the ball on it. Overall impression: It's a nice sounding system (when operated at optimal settings) but you have to crank up the volume to experience its true potential. The soundbar is about 2" wider than a standard size keyboard and sits nicely in front of the computer screen. The controls are easy to use and the software is simple enough once you learn where to find things. Not a bad system for the price. Only 3 wires to connect, one to power, one to the computer and one to the subwoofer and all the connections are on the back so they are out of the way. It's a decent system, the only drawback is how the subwoofer works, being that it's tied into the system volume and although you can boost its presence with the equalizer, it's still tied into the system sound and in order for it to come alive, it needs system amplitude which it doesn't get until volume level 50. If I'm not mistaken, if you want to hear the subwoofer at lower system volume levels, you'd need a speaker system that has a subwoofer with its own amplifier built in. All in all, it's decent, it has a clean, clear sound and it can be adjusted to taste via the equalizer.

I read a few of the reviews some have written and they had me 50/50 on this purchase - I'm thankful I shot my shot because I'm absolutely amazed by the sound quality this lil thing puts out and the bass the subwoofer produces - it's absolutely amazing, I've yet to get the darn thing above 60 because it's had the neighbors come over and bang on my door because it was "too loud" haha This replaced my OG Creative 5.1 Surround speakers I purchased in the early 00's and I'm content - beyond happy with my purchase and highly recommend this soundbar.

This was a nice product for the year and a week that it lasted. It sounded good and looked nice on my desk, and kept a tidy, low-profile which I like. Then I had to move my computer for some home renovations, so it was unplugged for a few days, and as I hooked everything back up, there was nothing. It powers up, it lights up green, and yet it is completely undetectable by my PC, my laptop, or any other device I've tried. Despite trying every combination of new cable, power supply, and USB port, it's still nothing more than a nicely lit brick on my desk. And because it's about a week out of the 1 year Razer warranty, I can't even get support online to try and fix it. Utterly worthless customer support! There are numerous threads on Razer's own website about this issue, and yet there is no definitive fix for it, so I guess I just took my money and flushed it slowly down the bowl. My 20 year old Logitec speakers were more reliable than this hunk. I recommend looking elsewhere, or at least purchasing extended warranty coverage, because it's quite likely you'll need it at some point. Frustrated and extremely disappointed considering the largely positive reviews here.

The sounds from this is really good for the price point. Works really well with mac and PC. Quality sound. Lots of bass. Razer quality.

Estoy muy feliz con esta compra. El audio suena increíble, el subwoofer le da mucha más potencia a los bajos (incluso hace vibrar el suelo) y tiene sonido envolvente. Los videojuegos se escuchan mucho mejor. Incluso el empaque por dentro y por fuera me gustaron al momento de abrir el producto. Recomiendo comprar por separado el software de THX. Es un poco difícil porque la página de Razer dónde lo descargas te pide una dirección en estados unidos obligatoriamente para terminar la compra, pero puedes buscar cualquier dirección en estados unidos, agregarla y ya te deja comprar y descargar el software de THX. Se hace un solo pago y no es suscripción. Es una licencia perpetua. El único tema es que las luces RGB no brillan tanto como aparece en la imagen, pero es un detalle nada más, todo funciona perfectamente.

Amazing sound, amazing Chroma lighting effects. Yes I overpaid a little for a 2.1 surround sound system, but this will be a centerpiece for years and compliment my other Chroma products.

En pocas palabras es lo que se espera por el precio, sin embargo, conociendo la marca es un tiro al azar, ya que se sabe que el control de calidad de Razer es bastante pobre, por lo que, por mi experiencia con diferentes artículos, al primer detalle que tenga su producto deberían de solicitar un reembolso, ya que esperar a que la marca decida repararlo (siempre pondrán peros y trabas) o que se te remplace el artículo (Casi nunca lo hacen) es muy poco viable, por lo que la recomendación es usar la facilidad que da Amazon para el reembolso.

El sonido es excelente siempre y cuando no se instalen drivers de Razer!
