Razer Tiamat 7.1

The Razer Tiamat 7.1 is an excellent-sounding gaming headset with plenty of bass, and while it's pricey for a wired headset, it's one of the best we've seen yet.

Excellent bass response. Comfortable

Expensive. Surround sound still doesn't image quite as well as a surround sound speaker system

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Review

When Razer announced the Tiamat 7.1 surround sound headset equipped with 10 drivers (speakers), a good chunk of the gaming community got very excited by the prospect of being able to play with surround sound without making the neighbors go [...]

In the end, I think that the Tiamat 7.1 edge goes beyond its audio quality: it’s the industrial design – the whole package. The sad reality is that most people don’t really discern the differences in terms of sound “quality” (between “very good” and...

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Gaming Headset Review

With the Tiamat 7.1, Razer is redefining the top end of the gaming audio line. Where previous headsets have had trouble creating a surround gaming experience through just two drivers, the Tiamat fits what is essentially an entire surround sound system...

High price; somewhat bulky

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Review– More than just a 7.1 surround sound headset

True 7.1 gaming headset. Allows you to switch between using a headset or your desktop speaker with a button press.

An extremely comfortable gaming headset for hardcore PC gaming enthusiasts

Extremely comfortable ; Great inline controls

Expensive ; Bulky

Sporting some of the best bass we've heard in a gaming headset, incredible audio quality, and 7.1-channel surround, Razer's Tiamat 7.1 is a great audio addition to your PC gaming setup.

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Gaming Headset Review

The Razer Tiamat is a gaming headset of epic proportions. It comes in a humongous and thoroughly magnificent box, it is humongous itself and the name's borrowed from a middle-eastern dragon that represents the very essence of chaos. One look at its...

The positional accuracy in video games is pretty good, but not nearly as great as that of the Audio Technica ATH-AD700. I tried the Tiamat with video games featuring excellent sound production such as Alan Wake, Mirror's Edge, Tomb Raider (2013) and...

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Gaming Headset Review - Tech2

Razer Tiamat is one of the few true 7.1 channel gaming headsets, but cramming in ten discrete speakers is easier said than done. Read on to find out if it can overcome the curse of true multichannel headsets.

Razer Tiamat 7.1 Gaming Headset

Great directional audio. Handy volume controller.

Terrible sound quality.

These 7.1 surround-sound headphones pack a whopping 10 drivers; five times more than every other set. The aim is to deliver the best directional audio on the market, but it comes at a severe cost of sound quality.
