Where are the Tiamat's?

ESlik

What's with Razer? Where the hell are these headphones? They have been on back order ever since they were first announced! I'm running out of patience. Has anybody here recieved a set?

Perhaps there was a manufacturing issue and they're trying to keep everything under wraps.

IGN got a review out:

Sorry for the mobile link, im on my phone, just go to ign's main site for the full article, obviously.

Normally gaming sites and mags jizz all over every decent gaming headset that comes along, but this reviewer seemed to actually give the Tiamats a fair critique.

"the Tiamat's sound was clear but not big, at least not in the way that you would hope for from a headset that sits an inch away from $200. The highs were slightly tinny, and overall, sound could have benefited from a bit more warmth."

"The Tiamat 7.1 is a well constructed piece of machinery, and is worthy of its title as the first of its kind, but packing so many drivers into a small space can hurt a headset as much as help it. Sound movement is accurate but quality can be below some cheaper alternatives, and if you don't have a proper 7.1 card you'll definitely want to look elsewhere. This isn't to say that the team at Razer shouldn't be proud of themselves, the creation of the Tiamat is an achievement in and of itself, but the overall effectiveness of true 7.1 surround sound is lost when tightly placed inside the small confines of a headset."
