Razer Tiamat 7.1 vs. Logitech G35

(1/4) > >>

radionerd:
I currently have the Logitech G35 headset. Even though it is a virtualized 7.1 surround field, it is extremely accurate. I watch a movie and I can hear things that my previous headphones or desktop speakers couldn't reproduce. The microphone is really nice and people say my voice is very clear. I'm also a fan of the controls on the ear cup.

I was intrigued at Razer's true 10 driver setup, but am a little hesitant to purchase. Some reviews have been noting that sound reproduction is not as deep because they use smaller drivers and that the laws of physics state you can't shove 5 speakers into a single earmuff. And I don't know what I'd do with that big huge control pod dangling around.

I also read a review on a number of surround headsets at Tom's Hardware and they seemed to like the G35 (the Tiamat was not reviewed). The reviewer even commented that the virtualized surround fields on a number of models were just as good as the discrete sets. They used a blind test for that.

I'd like some opinions on the matter. Are the Tiamat 7.1s really worth the upgrade? Or are my G35s just as good?

Nothing razer is worth it. It's all overpriced plastic with good advertising to reel in the unintelligent. Astro A40s are better.

The A40s do not look any better than the G35s. It is still a virtual surround field. The only advantage is the ability to use it on my Xbox or PS3.

I did some more research on surround headsets. It appears that no marketable headset that can account for all HRTF variations. The G35s work for me, so I guess I'm going to stick with them.

Slysoft:
G35 are good. It's what I used to have but mine were like 3 years old and I needed a new set badly so I grabbed the A40s. I like them better simply because they are analog so I can use my soundcard, but they are both good.

Some of Razer products is not worth it. Don't mislead people, please.

Their Razer Moray is great headphone pieces on-the-go and Razer Naga mouse is excellent for MMOs.
