Are there any alternatives?

The Creative SoundBlaster Katana and Katana V2 are this soundbar’s closest rivals. The original Katana sells at the same price as the Leviathan V2, while the Katana V2 costs $80 more.

　　If you want to opt for a more traditional set of PC gaming speakers, Logitech’s G560 provides excellent audio (and lighting) — and currently sells for less than the Leviathan V2.

　　

How long will it last?

Unlike a lot of tech, you can expect an audio product to last you longer than even five years. Using the latest Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity helps in that regard, as does the Leviathan V2’s excellent build quality.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes, if a plug-and-play audio system delivers decent sound right out of the box. If you can afford to pay an extra $80, you’ll likely enjoy the extra customization and ports that the Creative Katana V2 provides, but for a cheaper and simpler plug-and-play experience, the Leviathan V2 is a solid option.
