That's the point. Taction already said "some headphones have secondary transducers which can’t deliver a high-fidelity bass experience - offering uneven frequency response, and slow response".
The point seems to be that these are much better, though. Taction seem to already have a good rep in this field, especially with music fans and audiophiles, so Corsair partnering with them makes sense and is likely to be far better than Razer's efforts.

Look forward to the reviews...

I had a haptic feedback pair a few years ago - they were TERRIBLE. Looking forward to the reviews - they wow for the first 30 minutes, until the headache starts...

In some gaming-centric answers to questions Taction even goes so far as asserting that its technology can speed up your gaming reaction time.

I'd love to see the peer reviewed papers supporting this claim.

the design is rubbish, but that haptic sauce is interesting. hmmmm

Seems to be one of those, 'Don't know how/why, but it just works' oddities about the human body.
