Looks interesting and sleek as always. Will wait for a review though as Razer's sound department has always been 'meh' at best.

What do you guys think?

 

Price: $199 + S&H.

id call razers sound department, average, with a preference for bass. so for a sound bar it might actually end up being really nice, depending on price this could be quite good.

also that subwoofer looks like a keycap

I second this 100% until further review. 

If only Razer's products performed as well as they looked.

I never have been a fan of soundbars for desk use. They just take up too much space. I will not be breaking out the credit card for one of these.

As good as it looks in the picture, I think I would have to agree with this. But also I think it's too small for even my 50' TV...hmm..

I agree, maybe it would look right if you had a ~32" tv on the wall but any larger than that and the TV will dwarf this soundbar.

Yeah, my Logitech X-530 speakers have lasted since around 2006 and they're still sounding like the day I got them. I'll stick with those :)

Gaming brands should stick to gaming peripherals. It saddens me to know there's gonna be people buying this to match their all-Razer setup but this is like me charging $50 for pizza without knowing how to cook pizza.

All about the brand. Same goes for Apple and many of their customers.

In peripherals maybe, but I won't start an Apple pricing argument in a post that isn't even about Apple :)

Interesting, but there's probably better alternatives. Logitech is my preference.

I would personally buy the Boston Acoustics Soundbar on amazon for $200 when its on sale from the original price of $350 and it's even by a really great and known sound company that is extremely good.

Another mystical creature. Although Razer is well known for their marketing skills, I got to admit that the design looks very appealing, am still waiting for performance reviews.
