Good stereo sound

Surround imaging is disappointing. Setup isn't simple

The Tritton AX Pro gaming headset delivers solid sound, but it doesn't offer the 5.1 surround imaging it promises, and it leaves you in a mess of cables while you play.

Excellent sound performance ; No need for a sound card on your computer

Too big and awkward to wear ; Pricey

Sound-wise, these are a gem, but are too uncomfortable and awkward to justify splashing your cash on

Discrete 5.1 surround sound headphones; supports headset chatting; various amount of adjustable controls; extra earcups; detachable microphone; compatible with most PCs and gaming consoles.

Headphones require power; tedious setup; requires a lot of wires; included 3-foot optical cable and USB cable won't get you far; heavy headphones; doesn't work with the Wii.

If you can get past its tedious setup, the AX Pro 5.1 Gaming Headset performs extremely well and is compatible with pretty much every gaming PC and game console except the Wii.

Detachable mic much improved, 5.1 surround in a headphone set

USB bypasses soundcard; EAX 2.0 doesn't quite cut it. Annoying "rumble" effect

The initial installation and setting up of the headset can and will definitely be intimidating to the casual gamer, but it’s worth the pain. Once the headset has been setup, it’s incredibly difficult to find a headset of the quality for the same price....

Immersive sound from the true Dolby Digital 5.1, Incredible sound options from inline volume control and decoder, Robust, stylish and comfortable design

Lengthy set-up procedure compared to most headsets., Some design decisions, such as the clip-in mic and lack of volume control on headset

At this point, I think it would be futile to continue to berate Tritton for the two power adapters.  When you throw down $180 for a headset, you know what you're getting into.  Obviously you don't need a headset that's all about portability if you are...

Sleek Design ; Adjustable volume for chat and game sound ; Amazing sound quality

Requires two AC power outlets for most configurations

The Tritton AXPro is an over-the-top headset for over-the-top gamers. This headset is an awesome piece of equipment that once used, gamers will wonder how they lived without them in the first place. With two required AC power packs (for most...

As complicated as the setup sounds, it's not, I assure you. But now that that is out of the way, I can talk about the most crucial part of the AX Pro—performance. The AX Pro uses eight drivers, six 30mm drivers for center, front, and rear channels, and...
