Specs
Pros
Pro Fantastic sound quality and 7.1 surround experience
The Tiamat 7.1 is mostly praised for it's superior sound quality, especially in gaming situations. The real surround experience is also noticeable and is an improvement when comparing this 7.1 surround solution with 10 different speakers to other headsets with only virtual headphones.
Cons
Con Requires expensive soundcard to unlock full potential and 7.1 Surround
While the Tiamat 7.1 is generally praised for its sound quality, it requires a rather expensive 7.1-capable sound card in order to reproduce the best possible sound quality due to the use of multiple 3.5 mm analog jacks. Sound quality is reported to be lackluster on average or integrated soundcards and is also limited to the usual stereo with two channels.
