Razer on Tuesday announced a soundbar that it claims is fit for movies, music, and gaming while being able to connect to computers, iPhones, and Android phones. Measuring 15.7 inches (400 mm) long, the Leviathan V2 X is meant to slide under desktop monitors and is a cheaper, less powerful version of Razer's $250 Leviathan V2, which includes a soundbar and subwoofer.
According to Razer, the Leviathan V2 X can reach 90 dB from a distance of 3.3 feet (1 meter). The gaming peripherals and PC maker also claims a frequency response of 85-20,000 Hz, which is a bit high on the low end. By comparison, the pricier Leviathan V2, which includes full-range, tweeter, and passive radiator drivers, plus a subwoofer and THX Spatial Audio, claims 45-20,000 Hz.

The new Leviathan V2 X isn't built for as robust audio as its sibling, but it includes two full-range racetrack drivers measuring 2*2.0*4.0 inches (2*48*95 mm) and a pair of passive radiators measuring 2*2.0*4.1 inches (2*48*105 mm).
