Razer, DO BETTER – Leviathan V2 Review



The Razer Leviathan V2 wants to be one of the best gaming sound bars in 2022 and it better be with a price of $250. But against the Sound Blaster Katana V2 and other competitors, it falls short in a few very important areas.

    Small correction: The Leviathan V2 also comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable. So one of the points in my rant is sorta invalid 😉 – Mike

    USB input requires the Razer software, which requires a log in. YOU HAVE TO LOG IN TO USE YOUR SPEAKER!!!! F THAT
    I'm getting a Katana V2

  3. PadeJuan

    Razer be treating their Brand as premium shit when they making average shit

  4. FaddyMatty

    This is disappointing I have the Leviathan and the only thing I really wish it had was a remote. The fact that razer took away ports and didn't include a remote is sad, I use Bluetooth on mine only when I dont have my pc on it cuts out after about 25ft.

    I had a razer ps4 controller. Not only was the controller loaded with lag and stick issues, the customer service was horrendous. They seem to be more concerned with rgb than making a quality product

    LE – VA – TA – YAN……. wtf hes been calling it like that since 2015.

    Pretty sure you can use your phone to adjust it while it's connected to your PC

    These dudes are the apple of the gaming world, well trying to be and failing at it because they charge a huge premium for all their products but they suck, do nothing new or break later on. Every other company does what they do but are reasonably priced and actually work.

  9. ToxicTurkeyy

    funny how you guys are crying about it "taking up a usb port on laptops", do these people not know hubs exist? Powered ones are great and can be had for under 30 bucks, and don't come talking about no fucking portability, that soundbar is infinitely times less portable than any usb hub.

    but yeah, usb audio sucks, it should have optical.

  10. Uk Gamer

    creative make awful products. I don't get why creative isn't treated this harshly. All their products are beta and they have used planned obsolescence on their soundblaster z soundcards.

  11. Yaseen Akbar

    For that money I can get a pair of good quality studio monitors.

  12. Kaung Khant

    Listening from my OG Leviathan with an optical cable and couldn't be happier more)

  14. DLAROC

    That price point is horrible. You can get the Logitech Z625 for almost half the price and I can almost guarantee it will be louder

  15. Bohdan Bartash

    I have sound blaster v4 sound card for my headpones. If i get the katana v2, should i just sell my sb4 and use the katana as dac for headphones? Thank you

    if it made of aluminum, i would buy it
