Gamers who are always looking to add something new to their gaming experience can lay their eyes on the new range of Razer Tiamat Gaming Headsets which includes the Razer Tiamat 7.1 surround sound gaming headset and the Razer Tiamat 2.2 stereo gaming headset. Touted to be the world’s first discrete 7.1 surround sound and 2.2 stereo gaming headsets, these peripherals are apparently capable of delivering a realistic sound while gaming.
The Tiamat 7.1 offers 10 discrete drivers distributing 5 in each ear cup thus producing a 360 degree true surround sound. The control unit of this device is capable of fine-tuning the volume of every audio channel along with their position and depth. Gamers can also switch between the 7.1 surround sound mode, a 2.0 stereo mode or even external speakers with this unit. In addition to the retractable noise-filtering unidirectional mic, the headset also kicks in a braided fiber cable and replaceable soft-touch leatherette ear cushions.
Robert ‘RazerGuy’ Krakoff, President, Razer USA, commented, “The Razer Tiamat headset range is the pride of our audio engineering, the world’s first 10 driver headset, built to deliver the most powerful, clear and accurately produced positional audio gamers will ever need for the competitive edge. Surprise the enemy trying to creep up for a stealth kill, when you can hear their footsteps loud and clear behind you.”
On the other hand, the Tiamat 2.2 comes with 4 discrete drivers in the headset, 2 for each ear in order to tender gamers with double bass. Similar to the Tiamat 7.1, this device is mounted with leatherette ear cups. These headphones are noise-filtering and possess a unidirectional mic, a slim in-line remote and a braided fiber cable.
Both the Razer Tiamat 7.1 surround sound gaming headset and the Razer Tiamat 2.2 stereo gaming headset are supposed to ship in Q4 of this year. In the U.S., the Tiamat 7.1 will cost 179.99 USD (approx Rs. 8,165) while in Europe, it will be priced at 179.99 Euros (approx Rs. 11,821). The U.S. pricing of the Tiamat 2.2 will be 99.99 USD (approx Rs. 4,536) and its European pricing will be 99.99 Euros (approx Rs. 6,567).
