The Tritton AXPro 5.1 Surround Gaming Headset is amazing!

It sounds fantastic- the surround sound staging is accurate and immersive! I tried a few of the one that “simulate” surround just don’t stand up to discreet surround. The AXPro uses 4 speakers in each can to give you real 5.1 surround sound using a total of 8 speakers. The range of the speakers is great. Highs sound bright and crisp and lows are transmitted smooth and loud.

These things are comfortable! I can wear these for hours and not get sore ears. At first I was worried because of my initial impression from the over weight of the headset but that hasn’t been an issue.

The controls are great. I like that I can modify the many different variables this headset offers. In a later post, I’ll be discussing these and optimal settings.

In game chatting works perfectly! The mic is great, it works well and everyone I game with, says I come in loud and clear without shouting.  Since the volume of the voice chat is adjustable independently form the in-game sounds, this makes it easier to hear during loud periods of games.  You can even mute in-game sounds and just use the chat audio channel, pretty cool.

Price. I paid $159.99 with free shipping from New Egg. Considering what some of the prices for “other” surround sound headsets, I felt this was a good price and middle of the road, once I shopped around and priced comparable models.

That’s all! Right now, I’m enjoying some SOCOM Confrontation on my PS3, it sounds so much better with these headsets on!
