The Razer Leviathan V2 X is a compact 2.1-channel soundbar with a down-firing subwoofer, THX Spatial Audio and 18-zone Chroma RGB lighting. Its software bugs and the bulky subwoofer can be drawbacks for some users. Ideal for PC gamers who need immersive sound and low-latency Bluetooth in a limited desk space.
The Bose Companion 2 Series III is a compact 2.0 desktop speaker system delivering clear mids and highs with TrueSpace processing. Its main trade-off is the lack of Bluetooth and modest bass performance. Best suited for budget-conscious PC users who prioritize simplicity and sound clarity.

Professional reviewers commend the Companion 2 Series III for delivering a surprisingly wide and clear soundstage for its size, thanks to Bose's TrueSpace digital processing. They acknowledge its solid value for desktop audio but note the modest bass and lack of Bluetooth as drawbacks compared to newer multi-channel or wireless offerings.
Consumers consistently highlight the speaker's straightforward plug-and-play setup, clear mids and highs, and compact desk-friendly design. The most common complaints revolve around the limited bass depth and the perception that the maximum volume can be restrictive for louder media.
“great audio”
Choose V2 X for ultra-compact setups where bass performance is less critical
Professional reviewers commend the Leviathan V2 for its clear, punchy audio, THX Spatial Audio, and vibrant 18-zone RGB lighting, noting its compact under-monitor design. However, they criticize the Razer Synapse software for bugs, the limited port selection, and the subwoofer's bulk, while also flagging distortion when pushed to maximum SPL.
Everyday users generally praise the dynamic stereo sound, compact fit under monitors, and immersive RGB lighting, highlighting easy Bluetooth pairing. Recurring complaints focus on the subwoofer's weight and size, the need for a constant PC power source, and occasional distortion at high volumes.
