Razer's latest Tiamat headset delivers 7.1 sound straight to your ear canals

Is the new Razer Tiamat the first true7.1 surround sound headset, as the company claims. Maybe, but more impressively, it's the world's first set of cans with 10 discrete drivers - that's five in each ear. The left and right ears each have three drivers dedicated to that side, and both pack a "center" channel and a subwoofer to round out the required eight lanes of sound. Most surround sound sets call it a day with eight drivers but, surprisingly, the two extra speakers here don't add much to the cost. And, for the control freaks, there's an in-line volume remote that lets you adjust each channel individually.
