Five years on from the release of the original Tiamat 2.2, Razer is back with a successor – rather unimaginatively named the Tiamat 2.2 V2. The ‘2.2' moniker is important as that means each ear cup features a dedicated sub-woofer, meaning there are a total of four 50mm drivers in the headset as a whole. What does this sound like, and is it good for gaming? Let's find out.

With a price tag of £129.95 here in the UK, the Razer Tiamat 2.2 V2 is certainly one of the more expensive gaming headsets out there. At this price, we certainly have high expectations, but before coming to any conclusions, let's crack on with the review.
