eTeknix have reviewed the Razer Tiamat gaming headset which feature true 7.1 surround sound capabilities.

Let's see what they had to say:

"The Razer Tiamat is the world’s first true 7.1 surround sound headset, and boy have Razer set the bar high for any future true 7.1 headsets we may see. The headset oozed quality, not only in looks, but also performance wise. There was no compromise in the depth of the sound or quality of the different tones, which we though we may see from the smaller drivers. For gaming, music, movies and VoIP they performed flawlessly with almost perfect positioning, sometimes making you feel like you were actually there. One of the more noticeable features that we loved is the ability to switch between speaker and headset audio, a simple, yet overlooked issue with most of the headsets on the market."


While their multi-speaker arrangement does nothing for music, for moves and games these are an excellent option. Though you will pay a premium for their 'true' 7.1 surround sound abilites.
