Razer Leviathan V2 X
The Razer Leviathan V2 X is a compact, USB-C powered PC gaming soundbar from Razer, designed for immersive audio in a space-saving form factor. Launched in September 2022 as a more affordable entry in Razer’s Leviathan lineup (sitting between the original Leviathan V2 and the premium V2 Pro), it delivers high-fidelity stereo sound without needing a separate power adapter, making it ideal for desktops, laptops, and portable setups. Powered by Razer’s THX Spatial Audio and customizable via Razer Synapse software, it syncs with your battlestation’s RGB ecosystem for a cohesive aesthetic. While praised for its clarity and ease of use, some users note volume limitations on PC (fixable via Windows settings) and a lack of deep bass compared to subwoofer-equipped models.

- Strengths: Plug-and-play simplicity with USB-C powering everything—perfect for clutter-free desks. The THX tuning provides crisp mids/highs for gaming (e.g., footsteps in FPS titles) and media, while Chroma RGB elevates aesthetics without overwhelming power draw. Users appreciate its portability for Switch/laptop use and seamless Synapse controls for quick source switching.
- Potential Drawbacks: No dedicated subwoofer means bass is “resonating but not thumping” (passive radiators help, but not for bass-heavy genres); PC volume can feel low until balancing left/right channels to 100% in Windows Sound settings. Some report minor audio lag in Bluetooth mode for competitive gaming, and it requires Synapse for full customization (though works standalone).
- Great starter soundbar for budget gamers upgrading from laptop speakers—pair it with a Razer keyboard/mouse for full Chroma sync. If you need more bass, upgrade to the Leviathan V2 ($249.99 with subwoofer). For wireless freedom, consider the V2 Pro.
