Right after we have fully charged the portable speaker, the Power indicator has become green and we started testing right away. First we have connected the Leviathan Mini with an older, Bluetooth 2.0 dongle on USB while the operating system of our machine was Windows 10; during pairing mode, the speaker does emit a cool sound resembling a submarine sonar as we have seen in movies and will only stop after the product completes pairing. After switching the audio source to the Razer Leviathan Mini, we have run some YouTube music clips, a couple of TV shows (Sons of Anarchy, Dark Matter) and found out that the device is fine-tuned for bass, being able to deliver quite a bit of boom without distortion even at higher volume levels. If we would like to have the output frequencies more balanced, then we will need to work a bit with the equalizer settings of the device (if applicable). During normal use, the device lasted in our tests about nine hours, so very close to the Razer rating of ten hours.

Since we have seen that the range while using the Bluetooth 2.0 adapter was a bit small, we have purchased a Bluetooth LE 4.0 USB dongle; while the pairing procedure has remained the same, we could place the speaker half a meter farther than with the older dongle. The range is variable depending on the devices you have nearby, because electronics produce interferences. Since we have been provided with not one but two Leviathan Mini speakers, we were able to try out the advertised Combo Play feature; this mode does permit paring between the two speakers for a more immersive wireless stereo experience. In order to perform this task, we first need to have the first speaker on, pair it with the sound source, then keep the round button on top pressed until it blinks white; the secondary speaker must be turned on too afterwards and we must press the same top circular button until it blinks white. The rest of the procedure will be carried out by the speakers themselves and when pairing is completed, the top circular buttons will remain lit in white color. While this mode seemed alright at first while listening to music thanks to online radio services, when we have started up a YouTube clip we have seen that the video and audio were out of sync; we have tried a lot of things to remedy the situation like switching between the Bluetooth USB dongles, connecting the speakers to two different smartphones, connecting the system to the Dell Venue 11 Pro 7140 but at all times the out-of-sync issue was there. While having only one speaker connected without the Combo Play feature, everything was operating smoothly.

The Leviathan Mini is easy to carry around because of its size and for added value Razer has also included a carry pouch; this bundle component will keep dust away from the speaker when not used but it will also protect it against scratches during travel.

The price of the Leviathan Mini does not make it too affordable for the mainstream crowd; to be more exact, it can be found online for about 159 Euros.
