AX360
- Pros: Having been a Professional DJ, and been gaming through headsets for years, I can truly say that once configured correctly, these headsets are the best option for those seeking Dolby surround sound. Most new games are made with dolby, so for a first person shooter, if you don't have the rear channels, you are at a disadvantage. I tossed my turtle beach after they broke twice and picked these up... I played with the different channels, and the way Xbox has the dolby setup, the center channel is your team-mates voice, so I usually set that to 8.5 or 9, and hear them loud and clear. I love these for gears of war, in fact some pro gears teams are wearing these now during competitions, like team LGD (won MLG last year). The bass is sent to subwoofers instead of blasting your ears, so you can play for hours without getting a headache or blowing your eardrums out, the effect of this is that the lows sound different, but they are still there.
- Cons: The color doesn't match the xbox, but besides that, they outperform everything else out there. For those who are unfamiliar with Dolby and the concept of surround sound, it may take a few minutes to play with the settings to figure out how to optimize it to your likings, but hey, this is just the nature of Dolby.
- Other Thoughts: I was a bit confused about how to plug in the mic, but then I found the extension that plugs directly into the Xbox controller, pretty slick.
My dog ate my microphone, and I called and told them it was defective, they were fast to send me a replacement, great support. How cool is that...
Decent
- Pros: Overall, they produce pretty dang good sound when hooked up properly. Had a hard time deciding between these versus another pair, so I gave these a shot. Not too bad, but could be better for the money.
- Cons: Pricey.
- Other Thoughts: For the last 2 previuos reviewers, you really need to learn how to read. Anyone with a brain who knows how to read would know that without using the inline module, you are obviously going to have low or poor sound quality. This is pretty obvious considering the speakers amplifiers are IN THE MODULE! Sheesh people. Obviously if you are not using the module, you will have no power, which will mean POOR or WEAK sound. Use your heads before complaining about things!

- Pros: The headsets Dolby 5.1 surround sound is amazing for games, since you can change the volume level to our liking. The fact that it covers your entire ear is another great part, also with the adjustable mic, it helps put it right where you need it.
- Cons: The mic cord is extremely thin and is easily broken. Mine broke after a few months of use.
Not worth the money
- Pros: Ok, once you are able to get your volume levels balanced - when they were working.
- Cons: * poor microphone design
* low quality headphones
* no separate voice channel; part of center channel, and so gets drowned out quickly on EVERY game
* poor customer support; has not responded to any support requests outside of "Live Support" which is offline 99/100 times
- Other Thoughts: I was really excited to get this product, and was quickly relieved of that feeling. After about 1 month of usage, the microphone died. Wire broke because the extension cable pulls down on the back of it. Replaced mic, 2 days later, the extension fails. Received replacement, and both died. Support's solution: Zip tie it up to the main headphone wire. Good solution for wires, obviously. 2 weeks later, the center channel gave a loud "pop" in both headphones. No center channel, no voice. Support has ignored my support tickets and live support is never "Live". For an item of this price, you should expect more than about 1-2 months of life, and there should be some kind of customer support behind it.
I will not deal with Tritton again for any reason. If they ever happen to take care of my problem, I will be selling this product as is, just like you should do with junk. Glad I didn't use them more, they probably would have melted.
I have had this for a long time.
- Pros: Great sound. Output to a secondary sound device (like my 5.1 Logitech sound system). Great for decoding dolby digital dvd's when you use the optical out on a computer. They still work after 3 years (see below).
- Cons: I used this headset for a computer, and comes with lots of quirks. To use the mic along with the digital box, you can't use the built in jack, you have to buy an external cable to plug it into your PC (or just use another mic like I did). With gaming, it is typically better to just use the adapter it comes with to hook it via 4 3.5mm audio cables to your computer.
Dolby Digital doesn't work with most video acceleration programs like VLC or WMPC. Annoying to change out cables for gaming and dvd watching.
I have had my headset for about 3 years, and in that time both earcups have broken. They broke where the cups slide out to extend for larger heads. I have made them tolerable to wear by smothering the broken areas with hot glue, but that still doesn't fix them from bending.
The little blue decoder box they give you gets hot. I tried to put some sticky Velcro on the box to mount it to the underside of my computer desk, but it gets so hot that it melts the glue of the Velcro.
- Other Thoughts: The next set of headphones I am planning on getting for my computer will definitely have a USB adapter. I might still buy a Tritton, it was a good headset, just to many quirks for the price. They have another version of the headset as a USB one though, but not when I bought this one.
