Razer is trying to offer a new high-quality sound solution for those who don't want to mess with difficult-to-install headphones or surround sound systems. At CES 2023, Razer has announced the Leviathan V2 Pro, the latest addition to its series of sound bars designed to deliver compact, low-profile audio to PC gamers.
Created in collaboration with THX and Audioscenic, this soundbar is said to envelop the user in "3D audio," combining beamforming surround sound with AI head-tracking technology. Its integrated infrared camera detects the user's position , optimizing the sound by adapting the audio beams to the listener's location in real time. This means the sound will be modified depending on the position, providing the best possible listening experience, without requiring perfect alignment.

This soundbar features two 3D audio modes: THX Spatial Audio Virtual Headset mode, for stereo content that mimics the positional audio typically found in headphones; and THX Spatial Audio Virtual Speakers mode for multi-channel audio that fills a room like a home theater system. Customizable Chroma RGB lighting effects are included , with 30 different lighting zones.
It includes a subwoofer to enhance bass, and on the back of the soundbar, a dedicated 3,5 mm input along with a second 3,5 mm headphone port, a power adapter port, and a single USB-C port for connecting to a PC. It is compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless connection to a computer or mobile device.
It will go on sale in early February for a price starting at $399,99. It's considerably more expensive than the standard Leviathan V2, which costs $249,99; and the Leviathan V2 X for $99,99. But at least it has more ports than this latest model, and among them is the 3,5mm headphone jack. Although the Razer Leviathan V2 Pro lacks an HDMI input and HDMI output along with an ARC port.
