Pros: Strong bass, especially in games; good sound separation in supported games, well built and comfortable.
Cons: Requires lots of playing with an equilizer, terrible sound out of the box especially for music.
There are lots of bad reviews for those, however I must say that after properly calibrating them through an equilizer the muddy, cheap sound becomes much much better. In 7.1 mode for playing music those are absolutely horrendous, however if you use bass redirection and set crossover frequency at about 70hz they become quite nice. And if you use 2.0 mode you will need to play with the equilizer a bit to achieve nice results. Therefore you will need a proper sound card with equilizer settings.. I have been using them with SB Live! 24bit with modded drivers as well as with Asus Xonar U7.
The design is very very good, they are very well built and really comfortable. I can hardly feel them despite their size. Also they are durable with strong meshed cable. The pads are soft and don't cause any sweating.

Pros: 7.1 for pc and 5.1 for console using Tritton Ax pro AMP, Most comfortable headphones I have owned.
Cons: Console a channel is lost which can lose a cue or a slight gap in listening which can cause virtual death in cod only.
Long time user of Tritton Ax pros, have logged over 1500 hours on 2 pairs and love them. I was told these will work with the tritton ax pro amp and they do in 5.1.
 
Bass sounds good especially when sniping you can feel it also you can adjust it to be high treble.
 
Very good sound separation.
 
Beautiful pair of headphones, I can now sound beast people in BF4 they stomp around like dinosaurs. With a different sound than my Trittons maybe it's because it has better noise cancelling it like suctions to your ears and are closed backs.
 
I put these only 2nd to the Trittons for sound quality and consistent separation in competitive and casual play mainly due to the 7.1 not compatible with the mixamp. On PS4
 
The Tiamats I only use for gaming , If I want to listen to music I'll use a stereo headphone I dock no stars for this.

Pros: Nice design, lights up
Cons: Very heavy, horrible sound quality, can't hear people behind or in front of you, not very comfortable
Before you read this, I think you should know that I'm not an audiophile and that English isn't my native language.
 
Let me start this on a positive note.
 
The design of Razer Tiamat 7.1 is very good. Even though the actual headset is big, it looks quite nice. The Razer logos on sides light up making this headset even more beautiful. But because the headset is big and heavy, it's not very comfortable for long periods of time. It just makes me want to put my head down and sleep.
 
But as far as the sound quality goes... It's not even close to earbuds that came with my Sony phone. In 7.1 mode, there is no bass at all but as soon as you switch it to 2.0, the bass eats all the other sounds. It's boomy and muddy. You can't hear anything besides granades and gunshots. In addition to that, all the sounds are muffled and it sounds like you're listening to 64kbps sounds in a big, long tunnel.
 
But that's not it. In 7.1 mode, I could  only heard sounds that were on the right and on the left side of me. I couldn't hear anything behind or in front of me. At first I thought that it's my integraded soundcard's fault. So I decided to buy a new soundcard. Asus Xonar something. I don't remember the full name, but as far as I remember, it wasn't bad.
 
The new soundcard upgraded the sound quality. Tiamat sounded a little bit more clear, but still didn't match the $10 Sony earbuds (Not even talking about the Beats Mixr, the best value beats).
 
I returned Tiamat to the store and took my money. I will never buy a Razer product again.
 
I just don't understand why Razer advertises this headset as the ''World's first true 7.1 headset'' that can produce ''crystal clear sound''.
 
Overall, I give this headset a half of the star for the design and another half for nice packaging.

My first Razer mouse died in six months, Logitechs last for years. I wouldn't put much faith in their build quality.
