Razer Tiamat 7.1

Horrifying audio quality

A review on: Razer Tiamat 7.1
by Runefox
Runefox

Pros: Auto-adjusting headband, earcups very comfortable, stylish control module, speaker pass-through, microphone completely retracts

Cons: Terrible audio quality, extremely heavy

I picked these up knowing that they wouldn't come close to the quality level of my Sennheiser Momentum headphones, but needing a headset, I figured Razer's flagship would be up to the task. The packaging and control box were very nice, and the speaker pass-through dongle was a great touch. It's also rather comfortable, and the auto-adjusting headband is a pleasure to wear. The microphone...

“ Bought this headset nearly 5 years ago, great bang for your buck, although the mic broke about 2.5 years after use, and the cable broke now after nearly 5 years. Very comfortable supra-aural, open design, easily wearable for hours at a time. ” --mueslo

“ its good if you only want to use for game audio and not game chat. I like it myself i use it for xbox 360, but is also compatible with pc for pc gaming. I believe they can work for ps3 but are not chat compatible and that is because they have to be plugged in to a xbox 360 controller in order to use game chat on xbox 360, but does not apply to pc that's just how voip works on a xbox 360. So...” --Full Grizzly

“ For some time, I'd been looking for a decent all-rounder headset that I could use for both gaming and for work, as my job requires VoIP calls. Previously, I'd been using a Turtle Beach (D)PX21 headset for this, but didn't want to purchase another after its earcup snapped off due to the mediocre performance while playing music. I'd tried and returned the Razer Tiamat 7.1, and most recently...” --Runefox

“   This headphone have 10 DRIVERS so it's heavy and bulky headset   http://www.razerzone.com/tiamat/en/features   Gaming and movie (7.1 mode): enjoyable since you can spot location very easy.   Music (2.0 mode): if you listen music with 7.1 you can't not hear any bass. However, in 2.0 mode, the sound is extremly boomy and bloated.   Overall sound...” --tl13m

“ These are THE BEST you can get for under 20usd, the first time I used them I thought the sound was boring, but after some EQ'ing and tweaking with my Asus Xonar DG they sounded brilliant, the bass is kind of distant but acceptable, highs are distant but acceptable too, mids are little overpowered but that is nice for gaming, my only complain is that soundstage and detail are very low,...” --wphantom

“ I've had these headphones for a few months now and don't really have very many complaints. It's got a good, crisp bass response. I can wear these for hours without having my ears sweat or get sore.   The virtual surround sound is less than satisfactory. It seems like all it does is get rid of the bass and make the treble higher pitched. Also, there is interference when using certain...” --2005chuy

“ These things are HUUUUUUUUUUGE for what they have underneath. It's probably an overstatement because this monster of a headset isn't all it's really cut out to be. It's produced and advertised by Razer as a "Gaming Headset". In that assumption alone there's already a misleading information. For a pair of cans to be a gaming headset they need to have good output sound as well as good input...” --elm4171978

“ Do not get this headset unless you are considering amplifying it. It sounds bad without an amp.   My Experience: These cans sound nice when amplified/ bad when not amped. Good highs, okay lows, overall pretty good sound. They are closed and will block out the outside world. I have worn these for up to 6 hours at a time and still found them comfortable.    The mic...” --Th3 James
