1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,960
are you a gamer do you like gaming on your gaming computer does it have RGB is

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:12,240
your sound crap we can add more RGB to your desk with the razer leviathan v2

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:17,199
this is our bar here oh it feels cheap and plasticky

4
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:22,240
of course okay we've got a nice braided usb cable here power brick two

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:27,840
power cables probably for the subwoofer it comes with a subwoofer which is really quite nice and i guess this will

6
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:33,360
be our support there we go look at that

7
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:37,280
that is a nice little sub quite a quite a pleasant driver down here no covering

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:42,559
on it which isn't the end of the world nice big bass reflex port there's a nice

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:46,879
subtle embossed logo at the top it's not piano black which makes me very happy

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,440
got a little rubberized feet that looks way too light

11
00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:56,160
it's pretty hefty honestly okay let's have a look at the main event the sound bar

12
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,680
which does not feel quite as nice as this chap

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:04,879
very light look at that it's nice and thin honestly look great sort of on your

14
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,000
desk with your monitor above it four in the front

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,320
two in the back so four channels razer claiming that it's a

16
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:18,880
7.1 system you're not allowed to count the subwoofer as a 7.1 because it's the

17
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:21,600
0.1 so it's a 6.1 ports on the back

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:25,360
we've got power in usbc which is nice going to the computer i believe the

19
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:29,840
previous version had usb-b which is kind of on the wayside everything's usb-c now

20
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,759
it's awesome and then our proprietary little plug

21
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:38,840
for the subwoofer nice they give you a cable for your computer

22
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:43,759
got some end caps here green ends nice fabric cable

23
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:48,960
ends are coming out of it already quite lengthy on the connection cable that

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,920
could go off the back of the desk and sit on the floor nicely so i have no

25
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,799
problems with that it's got bluetooth 5.2 it's claiming that they have a 60

26
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,240
millisecond response time and when we get the lab set up we'll be able to

27
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,640
actually do real world testing of bluetooth audio latency if you're gaming

28
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,560
you want low latency so that the sounds you hear in your game are actually

29
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,200
happening when they are it's more important for controllers and stuff but

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:16,959
it's really nice if you're playing rhythm games or other games that require

31
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:20,879
very precisely timed inputs to match audio does have usb though so we'll

32
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,879
probably be throwing it in through usb to the computer there's an app we get to

33
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:29,599
try and set up all the RGB and equalizers and that sort of thing but

34
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:33,040
for bluetooth audio and for just having it around as a bluetooth

35
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,400
speaker or pairing your phone with it you know 60 milliseconds is totally fine

36
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,800
it's got a couple different feats if you want to angle it right now it's sitting

37
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,560
absolutely flat it looks rather elegant on the desk honestly these just sort of

38
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:49,519
slide in there they're actually quite nice you can remove them completely and

39
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:54,560
then it's got another four little feet on the bottom here so it can sit even

40
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,959
lower to the desk yeah there we are so now it's firing

41
00:02:56,239 --> 00:03:01,599
upwards slightly at a nice angle yeah okay

42
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:05,760
nice got a nice bundle of bananas you get

43
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,760
them as a bulk deal no no

44
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:14,000
well you'll just buy for the price of five five for the price of five order now at

45
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:18,640
ShortCircuit dog no and your nice new sweater oh yeah where

46
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,319
can i get this ltdstore.com if you buy it i get to stay employed

47
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:28,239
one banana two banana about two and a half bananas

48
00:03:24,799 --> 00:03:31,360
long and maybe a half-ish banana

49
00:03:28,239 --> 00:03:33,440
deep it's a pretty beefy sound bar for

50
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:38,480
just normal gamers i think this would be great for somebody who wants a much

51
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,680
better desktop experience without having to go through the rigmarole of getting

52
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,640
multiple speakers and having to worry about audio channels and extra power and

53
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,360
all that sort of stuff this just has one cable that goes to your computer and

54
00:03:48,239 --> 00:03:53,599
then you have speakers and a sub they're claiming that

55
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,920
it's got atmos support with the 3d sound all around you but to do that you really

56
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:01,439
need dedicated speakers positioned around you i think it's just going to

57
00:03:59,519 --> 00:04:05,120
throw them to the side and fake it before we plug it in and see how it

58
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,720

what's up gamers we're here at the ShortCircuit computer gaming desk to start

68
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,560
gamering uh in all seriousness we have it set up in the center here i've got my

69
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:53,199
sub on the left just so you can see it we'll try it on the floor as well

70
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:57,199
i've got the angled feets because i'm a little bit above and i want it facing

71
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:00,160
towards my ears you already know there's absolutely no chance whatsoever that

72
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:06,320
you're going to like this why are you even trying it well because that man told me to oh it's thx certified yeah

73
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,280
and they're saying it's like razer owns thx they do

74
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,759
you didn't know that i didn't know that yeah that's good info yeah and it says

75
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:16,720
everything from razer is thx certified well that's wonderful they can just slap

76
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:19,520
that a label on there well no i think in theory they still operate independently

77
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,680
mm-hmm that makes sense well it's 7.1 it has

78
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:28,560
six speakers in it so that counts as a speaker and the

79
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:33,520
point one to make seven shut up it does not does it no

80
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:39,280
so it's a 6.1 system but they're labeling it as 7.1 can you explain that

81
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,759
yeah the center channel is just the two front channels

82
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:46,320
ah i i don't know i made that no that actually makes sense so they're

83
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:51,600
combining two of the channels into speakers uh and they're all in front of

84
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,919
us it seems disingenuous that's facial sound go just make it go to blink

85
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:02,240
yeah that's a speaker bye you can already tell from the Windows test sound

86
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:07,039
that it's not going to be good i'm excited

87
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,440
i am not well our lovely soundbar thing

88
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:15,520
comes with this program called razer synapse synapse synapse i'm synapse sure

89
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:20,639
where we can enable all sorts of fun features let's get that full screen here

90
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:22,240
thx spatial sound which Linus so

91
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:26,000
generously enabled and we'll try it just in stereo mode

92
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:29,520
first before we go to that and then our lighting mode so it does have RGB yeah

93
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,560
let's play with some quick effects it's got spectrum cycling it's got breathing

94
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,960
it does have multiple RGB leds in there it's not just one color that's kind of

95
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,680
cool not really strong enough to show much

96
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:46,319
under my desk we can adjust the audio through these very clicky buttons at the

97
00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:49,840
top oh yeah we got an eq we can enable center focus we'll try some music or

98
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:52,319
maybe some videos does sound like four speakers

99
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,199
it's punchy

100
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:08,639
god well it's basically i'll give it that we do have a music equalizer open

101
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:11,919
here so i'm going to set that to custom just everything flat and we'll play that

102
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:16,080
same section again sounds like it's coming from the center here there's no

103
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:19,050
spatial anything right now we do have it on stereo mode we'll try the spatial

104
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,240
audio see if it widens it up

105
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,960
the audio equalizer also does nothing i don't know if we have to set it to make

106
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:30,810
it do that yeah nothing's changing

107
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,680
nothing's changing

108
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,880
i've got everything enabled i've got thx spatial audio center focus on i've been

109
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:43,599
playing with the equalizer and nothing's happening i gave it what was that 10 15

110
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:47,360
30 seconds and it still sounds exactly the same bless that i've restarted the

111
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,640
computer let's see if our settings are back let's go back and test more crab

112
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,560
rave

113
00:07:52,560 --> 00:08:03,199
okay eq is working now good

114
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:09,100
all of them sound like let's try our thx spatial audio combined

115
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,440
with stereo here so this is

116
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,800
stereo mode very bad thx spatial audio actually doesn't sound too bad it still

117
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,479
sounds like it's all coming from here there's no way this is a 7.1 because i

118
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:27,080
don't have any speakers behind me let's uh let's turn it around and see what

119
00:08:23,039 --> 00:08:27,080
these guys at the back are doing

120
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:39,200
you know flat isn't too bad on thx

121
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:43,749
spatial audio if i turn on center focus let's have a listen to that

122
00:08:43,839 --> 00:08:49,240
it puts out some power why don't we have a look and see what the sub does

123
00:08:47,839 --> 00:08:53,360
can we get that thumping

124
00:08:53,360 --> 00:09:00,480
well we're shaking boys one of the good things that i can say is

125
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:04,959
that this is a nice long eq so you could probably adjust it i'm not hearing

126
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:09,519
really any frequencies that it's lacking it's certainly not tuned right

127
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,800
flat eq response is not where i would want it at all why don't we try a sign

128
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:18,000
sweep really nice response from the low end that sub is helping a hell of a lot and

129
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,480
i'm getting a lot of it from the back here too see those boys are moving

130
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:26,399
some dips around 60. i don't know where the crossover point is

131
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:30,160
but it sounds like it's a lot coming from both of these might not even need

132
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:33,600
the sub honestly desk is shaking

133
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:38,320
remember when we're doing sign sweeps we're looking for changes in volume

134
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:42,560
at our current location in the sweep if we reduce the volume it shouldn't really

135
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,560
affect anything

136
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:49,040
so we've got some dips there big dip there around 1400 you'd have to spend

137
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:53,040
ages fine tuning this to get all the volumes nice and even if you wanted

138
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,760
something with a more flat response but you know we're playing games with this

139
00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:03,040
this isn't for making music you're going to use headphones or like proper dedicated monitors for that so shall we

140
00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:03,040
try some games with it yeah yeah

141
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,839
okay

142
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:14,240
the thumps are nice and thumpy do i gotta kill everything i'm just gonna

143
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:18,800
disable the music because that's kind of taking over

144
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,880
what i wanna hear for

145
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,920
you know environmental sounds if they're positioned nicely

146
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:29,839
no all the sounds come from here i don't even have enough stereo separation to

147
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:34,800
figure out if they're on my left or if they're on my right let's head over into

148
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:39,600
stereo mode and see if that improves things at all

149
00:10:35,839 --> 00:10:41,440
oh god god that is so bad oh my gosh

150
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:46,399
okay well you need to have dhx spatial audio enabled for that i'll tell you

151
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:49,200
that let's set it to game mode as well in the eq

152
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:58,079
okay that sounds absolutely disgusting we've lost all the bass and the nice

153
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:03,920
thumpy weapon that we've got there the doom sound design is like dude's my idol

154
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:07,360
it's amazing yeah that's that's nice and punchy flat

155
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:13,120
i don't know why they would think like game mode takes all the bass out of it why even give me a sub if you're just

156
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:16,720
going to cut out 60ds of bass when the sounds are to my right they just sort of

157
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:22,000
get quieter how much did you say this was 200 and 250 us dollars well that was

158
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:26,560
awful i wouldn't want to play games using this certainly not a competitive

159
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:30,720
shooter like counter strike i mean even that do maternal is a

160
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:34,160
reaction based game and you need to know where the enemies are around you so that

161
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:39,839
you can properly prioritize who you're gonna kill so bad bad out of bad let's

162
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:43,680
try thumper this is a more straight line game rhythm game so we can make sure

163
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,000
that there's no real latency or anything like that

164
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:52,000
no latency this is this is easy to play

165
00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:55,440
there's absolutely no problems with this at all

166
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:58,800
yeah no issues with that at all i'm getting a lot better

167
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:03,040
sound field from thumper than i was do maternal so let's just go quickly back

168
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:08,959
and check the audio settings because there may be a dolby atmos spy specific

169
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:13,200
setting okay we're in the doom menu now and it looks like our only two options

170
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:17,040
are speakers or headphones and these aren't headphones what's interesting to

171
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:23,120
me is they're claiming 7.1 but it's not appearing as a multi-channel device in

172
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:28,000
Windows Windows can only feed its stereo if you have a game or if you have a

173
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,360
video that supports dolby atmos it's not going to

174
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:36,959
register to Windows or your player that this is a dolby atmos compatible device

175
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:40,959
dolby atmos is a special technology that has a digital imprint of a sphere around

176
00:12:39,839 --> 00:12:46,240
the listener if you want to think about it that way and then your device will

177
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:51,519
just pick the speakers that you have so it's going to put the 3d audio in a line

178
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:55,760
in front of your face if they weren't claiming

179
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:59,360
to support all these features and were hyping it up so much i think it'd be

180
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:03,839
easier on it for 250 bucks it's kind of a nice little thing to have on your desk

181
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:08,240
this is the world's first object-based cinematic audio

182
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:13,760
with powerful moving audio that transcends from channels

183
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,720
to moving around you with 10-point accuracy

184
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:19,920
that's not too bad that's not too bad at all it doesn't go behind me like they're

185
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,720
saying but you know the wall is all the way over there and i'm sitting here so

186
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:28,000
there's not really anything to bounce off of and what are you going to bounce off it anyway but stereo separation for

187
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:31,920
that was actually quite good i don't know what the speaker layout in here is

188
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:38,399
like i don't think we can rip it open unless we get a hacksaw but not not that

189
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:40,000
bad not 7.1 but certainly stereo

190
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:46,160
i don't think i could recommend this to anybody it's rather too expensive

191
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:48,720
it's very very close in here if you're

192
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,760
playing games i would want speakers over here so that i could get better stereo

193
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:57,360
separation so that i could understand where the things to shoot at are

194
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:01,279
the sub is kind of small and anemic and most of the

195
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:04,880
sub bass seems to be handled by the ones at the back anyway if i was a

196
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:08,560
gamer i wouldn't want to play games with this and

197
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:14,079
if i was a content creator i wouldn't want to edit or listen to music or

198
00:14:11,199 --> 00:14:19,199
videos with this i don't know it's uh it's a waste of money and uh it's a

199
00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:22,720
terrible product thanks for watching me terror apart another one of these

200
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:26,639
horrible horrible sound bars if you want to look at some other crap that razer's

201
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:31,519
made adams made a great video on a pair of headphones that were also trash and

202
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:35,320
far too expensive so subscribe for more

203
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:35,320
terrible razer products
