Razer has released the 'Leviathan V2,' a high-quality soundbar designed for use with personal computers.

Firstly, this soundbar is the first gaming soundbar to come equipped with THX Spatial Audio, which creates a wide soundstage to simulate accurate directions of audio coming from games.
The Leviathan V2 is capable of delivering everything from deep, bassy lows, to crystal clear treble as a result of its two full-range drivers, two tweeters, and its down-firing subwoofer. On top of this, the Leviathan V2 features Razer Chroma integration across 18 separate lighting zones, each of which is capable of delivering a full 16.7-million different colors.
