Opinions on Razer Tiamat 7.1/2.2

[OneManArmytstead]

Hello possibly picking up the Razer Tiamat 7.1 and I just wanted some opinions on the headset also would be nice to hear about any one who has used the 2.2 model with 2 sub-woofers built in to the headset. Personally I think the device will have the best sound quality available for a current headset.

If you need sound quality, go for stereo with 2 subs, no doubt about it.

if you want quality you go stereo.

 

can someone tell me why the heck razer thinks .2 is needed in a headphone?

Because they have 2 drivers per ear? :P

 

Headsets are a joke when it comes to good sound.

the same reason they think 7.1 is a good idea in a headphone, I suppose

I say they should just go with 3d sound. 360degree sound surround sound is last year.

8 speakers

front top right, front top left, front bot left, etc.

V-moda m80 -> tiamat in every cathegory, including price! (not really) Then you just mod on a good mic on it and your good to go.now i just need to find a pair in eu....

I can't wait for razer to make a 20 speaker "true" surround helmet

If you have to get "gaming headsets" or "gaming speakers" at least go with something not from Razer. Even still get something from a real audio company.

Get something with 2.0, and use software for surround.

Don't buy a freaking gaming headset with branding all over it to make you look like a freaking nascar driver.

 

Get a decent pair of headphones instead. And use virtual surround.

I've got the Tiamat 7.1's and I can't recommend them. The sound quality on the surround isn't nearly as good as it should be, and the 2.1 option is TERRIBLE. I have them hooked up to a Xonar DSX 7.1 and even that can't help the quality.

 

I find 9/10 times i prefer to use my speakers. Logitech Z-2300's which I hope never die :D

Ermagerd yes - YOLO

[Unhelpful]

they sound choppy as holy hell

[OneGun]

The tiny drivers they use sound like crap..Better to have 2 bigger drivers in each ear and use virtual surround..

[LAwLz]

Don't get "gaming headsets". Get a proper pair of headphones, and then a clip-on mic or some cheap desk mic.

The things you can do with virtual surround blows my mind. I'm using a cheap $40AUD 2.1 Microsoft headset, and even that gets some decent surround effects. Get a good pair of 2.1 headphones.
