Razer Tiamat

Ok, well Razer announced that in q4 2011 they will have a headset that is actually 7.1(uses 10 individual drivers).

I personally want to see how well it works, so ill probably buy one, and if its not better for games than my akg 702s ill prob give away.

Here some pictures:

I like Razer, but these won't come close to being worth it.

I mean for fps, not listening to music obviously :P

There is a slight chance that it may be better for positioning due to the sheer amount of drivers in the headset. However, with so much crammed into the headset, there is no doubt that sound quality will take a backseat in the development of the headset.

I think it's great that more companies are trying to emulate the surround sound experience using headphones, and I would urge users not to pass judgment on a product that hasn't even been released. It's designed for video games and movies, so I wouldn't expect them to perform anything like the AKG K702s, and that is neither a good nor bad thing. Too often quality is confused with performance.

The Tritton AX Pros are one of the only "real" retail surround sound headphones that use discrete drivers of this design (the only ones widely available, anyway), but they are 5.1, not 7.1. They use a different driver design and positioning, as well (see picture). By comparison the Tiamat's drivers are HUGE; a 40mm driver is usually all you see in even the biggest headphones, so it'll be interesting to see how heavy these are, though I expect some serious kick for bassheads. Thanks for the heads-up.

Happy gaming,
