I found that the virtual headset and virtual speaker settings both provided the best listening experience overall.

This is probably a good time to talk about the four audio modes that the V2 Pro supports: stereo, room fill, virtual headset, and virtual speakers. I played a mix of Destiny 2, Halo Infinite, and A Plague Tale: Requiem during testing, and the whole time I felt duly immersed in the on-screen experience. Given Razer’s audience, this makes sense. That means that while lyrics can be drowned out in music, movies and video games can feel extremely immersive. Even at low levels, bass and lows boom through the soundbar and subwoofer and it doesn’t take much adjustment to feel the bones of your chest and the foundation of your house rumble. If you’re a basshead, you probably will love the V2 Pro. Those same songs played through the Razer Leviathan lack that kind of nuance, but that isn’t to say that music isn’t enjoyable to listen to, it’s just not very detailed. There are some vocalists whose voices really hit a perfect high pitch for me that, when rendered well, makes me catch my breath – Sia and Lady GaGa are great examples of this.
Similarly, even cranking the highs all the way up, I still found them a bit lackluster. With the Razer Synapse App, you can freely adjust the EQ, which is great, but I found that the bass can really take over even if you turn it way down. Out of the box, I found the audio quality to be mostly mids- and lows-driven. I will say that while everything about the V2 Pro feels large and impactful, it does lose some of its audio precision as a result. Razer’s Leviathan V2 Pro is bigger and the sound follows suit: it’s a robust sounding system.

The matte finish on the plastic of both the soundbar and subwoofer looks nice, but it’s kind of a fingerprint magnet and it’s not super easy to wipe off. (In testing, I stood a couple of feet back from it). My setup here isn’t ideal and it’s actually much too close to me.

Granted, the stand for my monitor is kind of chunky, but you’re going to need a big, deep desk or use monitor arms to free up the physical space you need to really enjoy the Leviathan V2 Pro. I’ve got a pretty generously-sized standing desk for testing (almost two feet deep) and after setting the V2 Pro in front of my monitor, you can see how little space is left for my keyboard, mouse, and hands. I am a bit disappointed to see that feature found in last year’s version left out here. The soundbar, though, feels pretty big sitting on a desk.Īlso unlike the original V2, the V2 Pro doesn’t support interchangeable feet, so you can’t angle it or lower its profile. The subwoofer is quite large, but you’ll most likely be okay with this since it spends most of its time on the floor out of sight. The soundbar measures 23.6 x 4.5 x 3.5 inches and weighs five pounds while the subwoofer measures 10.2 x 11.6 x 10.2 inches and weighs 11.19 pounds. Secondly, the V2 Pro is all around larger and heavier than the V2. It doesn’t spin freely nor is it too stiff you really feel like you can dial in the exact volume you want. All of these new additions feel very high quality – especially the new dial which has what I would describe as the perfect level of torque. Additionally, everything is scaled up in size a bit.įirstly, rather than just a row of mainly rectangular buttons, Razer added a control dial and changed the button shape from rectangular to round. The main differences between these two soundbars is going to be seen on the top, where Razer made some rather major changes to the control scheme on the V2 Pro.
The look and feel of this soundbar and subwoofer are very similar, as Razer used plastic parts that feel pretty much the same. If you read my review of the Leviathan V2 Pro last year, then there is going to be a lot here that sounds familiar. 10 Images Razer Leviathan V2 Pro Soundbar – Design and Build Quality
