Not exactly what comes to mind when I hear Razerio's name, which I usually associate with cheap-made but over-hyped & over-priced R.friggin.G.friggin.B.friggin garbaggio....

I don't understand soundbars for desktops. They make sense for wallmounted TVs but for a gaming PC (this is Razer, after all) surely you want stereo separation and a nice wide soundstage so that you can tell accurately which side of you sounds are coming from?

I would imagine that the sound quality of this is pretty reasonable given the combination of driver sizes and use of passive radiators, but you can also buy some very nice studio monitors for that kind of money too, and a 2x4" set of drivers are never going to come close to even cheap studio monitors. Additionally, Razer's target audience are heavily influenced by vloggers and streamers, most of whom advocate studio-quality reference monitors for their setup either directly or just by proxy.

The space between the monitor and the desk is generally considered a wasted area. This product takes care of that problem.
