With the coming 50% deal, I am deciding whether to get a pair of headphones to share with my brother.

Razer Tiamat 2.2 - Is this comfortable? Sound quality does not really matter as much as the comfort I should get.

Anyone can rate it?

Comfortability - ?/10
Sound quality - ?/10

It's a 50% deal so I guess it should be of a good deal for now.

Razer Tiamat 2.2 and 7.2 experienced driver issues especially with it's subwoofer driver. It releases bad distorted bass sounds after 2 months. Not a good buy

I've always heard that any kind of surround sound in headphones is not too good due to the simple distance between the drivers and your ears, it makes music sound weird and there's more parts for it to go wrong in. I wouldn't recommend them at full price, but I guess you're not that bad off with the 50% off deal.

Promo codes are randomly generated for every account I believe. It's not a single code.

I just bought a pair of razer kraken forged. I'll probably sell it for like $250 lol.

With Razer headsets you sacrifice some audio quality for a better gaming experience. Audiophiles would disagree with me, but a Razer 7.1 headset will be the best option for fps games as you can hear opponents more easily. The sound quality is far from bad aswell like some people say. Personally I have big speakers for music as I prefer it outloud and I use my kraken 7.1 for gaming, especially counter-strike.

 

The microphone on my Kraken 7.1 is digital and the noise cancelling software is really good actually. I wouldn't recommend it for youtube commentary but it will definitely do the job and is clear and precise. The mute button is also perfect. (Idk about other headsets from Razer but they should be fine).

 

Basically don't listen to the extreme audiophiles and get a headset for gaming and speakers for music if you want a good combination.

 

Finally, for someone who is into drum and bass and 90s hip - hop I love my kraken 7.1 with the bass boost for night time gaming when I can't use my main speakers. It also allows for the option of running media playing applications in 2.1 so the driver thing you mentioned shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Intel i7 4770k @4.5ghz, Asus Maximus VI Formula, Asus Geforce GTX 780, Corsair h100i, Corsair Neutron GTX 240gb, WD Black 1tb, Corsair 750D, Corsair AX860i w/ Sleeved Cables.


I rarely leave the build logs section.

While having separate equipment for gaming and music is fine, it could cost more than what someone is willing to spend. With headphones from a audio brand and separate mic, you can use it for everything.
