The Tiamat 2.2 gaming headset from Razer has impressed us positively during the test period because of the way it sounds after we have ran the Surround software, or after some small tuning but also because of the fact that it is quite light. The outer side of the ear cups share design elements from the wireless Chimaera, but the inner padding is now covered by leatherette instead of cloth. Because of this, the ears may get warm during use since the possibility of skin breathing is limited. Thanks to the two extra 40mm drivers, the bass is much better represented compared to other headsets from the same league.

The cable is quite long and permits us to move freely around the desktop. The small plastic remote allows us to modify the volume on-the-fly but also to mute the microphone at will. Speaking of the microphone, this is partially hidden inside the left cup and can be extended easily; its body is flexible to allow additional adjustments.

While the Tiamat 2.2 does not feature as many drivers as the 7.1 version which is more expensive, the situation is quite in our favor thanks to the Surround software, which enhances positioning and is well tuned by default for the Razer brand headsets.

The Tiamat 2.2 can be found online for about 81 Euros.
