The Audioengine B2WAL has a PC Mag review score of 80%, whereas the rating of the Razer Leviathan was only 70% from the same site.
10 Reasons Against for Choosing the Audioengine B2WAL
The Audioengine B2WAL is 2 channels channels, and so do the Bose Solo 5 and the LG SK1, which is 3 times as less audio output channels as the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini (5.1 channels). More ...
'Audio Output' denotes the number of individual channels for the soundbar to use. Specific sounds and parts of the screen are assigned to individual channels, allowing the soundbar to simulate surround sound and create a deeper audio depth.
More channels mean that the sound will be more spread across the channels, leading to a richer surround sound 'effect'.

'Power' denotes how powerful the soundbar is, measures in watts.
Generally speaking, the higher the power level of the soundbar, the louder the maximum volume, and the better the sound quality will be.
The Audioengine B2WAL does not have a subwoofer included (As do the the Bose Solo 5 and the LG SK1), but the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini and the Razer Leviathan do. More ...
Whether the soundbar includes a subwoofer, which is a loudspeaker for low frequencies (bass sounds).
A subwoofer boosts the bass quality of the soundbar, allowing it to have far more powerful bass than would otherwise be possible.

The Audioengine B2WAL is $61 more expensive than the Bose Solo 5, $129 more expensive than the LG SK1, $68 more expensive than the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini and $62 more expensive than the Razer Leviathan.
The Audioengine B2WAL is only stocked by 3 shops, whereas the Bose Solo 5 is stocked by 11 stores, the LG SK1 is stocked by 4 stores, the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini is stocked by 5 shops and the Razer Leviathan is stocked by 8 shops. More ...
The Audioengine B2WAL is eight months older than the LG SK1 and three months older than the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini.
The Audioengine B2WAL has only received 1 award, whereas the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini has received 6 awards and the Razer Leviathan has received 43 awards.
The Audioengine B2WAL's average expert score is 80%, however the LG SK1's is 100% (based on 2 reviews), the Polk Audio MagniFi Mini's is 84% (based on 22 reviews) and the Razer Leviathan's is 82% (based on 142 reviews).
Audioengine soundbars have an average rating of only 71.3%, whereas Bose has an average rating of 89.7%, LG has an average rating of 95%, Polk Audio has an average rating of 82.8% and Razer has an average rating of 77.3%.
