Very good headset November 17, 2008
So far I am very impressed with the Tritton AX360 headset. The only concern I have is that the microphone seems to be the weak component. Only time will tell if this is the first point of failure or not.
 Couldn't Ask for a better product at price... November 16, 2008
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....I researched this little pair of headphones for about 2 weeks, snaring down on every single review I could find online, going 6 or 7 pages deep on google search links, also reading a majority of Amazon's reader reviews. My conclusion before buying was that, for the price range, and to quite honest, the availability of products like this (there are not that many, and most of the other ones are much much more expensive). Tritton is about to release the successor of this pair of headphones called the Tritton AXPro, and it will retail around $[...], so this is still cheaper than that pair will be. Let me break down the featuers a little bit.
1. One of the biggest complaints I saw in all the reviews was the microphone, I don't play online games and have no use for the microphone and thus have not even removed it from the bag it came in. This is a moot point for me.
2. The comfort, I just played an extended session of Deus Ex: Invisible War (my philosophy is to stay last gen all the time, then I pay less for games and accessories...works for now) and I never once felt the urge to remove this headset, until the end (but by then it was warranted...). The material used to line the ear cups and the band that goes over the top of your head is soooooooooooooooooooooo soft! Like some spaceage technology or something.
3. The Sound. So I have never really had a good set of headphones, nor a good set of external 5.1 surround sound speakers...so I was going in with a clean slate of systems to compare this headset too, therefore some of the other complaints of reviewers did not affect me. So What I have found, is that the sound is well done. Some games have better use of 5.1 then others and some movies employ the technology better. Example: Chronicles of Riddick: Escape for Butcher Bay...(which is AMAZING!) Had great sound, thick rich bass and realistic environmental effects that really made you feel surrounded by a living breathing world. I definitely did not know what some reviewers were saying when they said the bass was a little weak. I had to turn down the sub. channel to keep my head from a-sploding. Now In Deus Ex IW, I wish There was stronger sub reaction, I don't see this as a weakness of the headset, but rather a weakness in the games sound design. The speakers themselves create an aural environment in which it is very easy to get absorbed in the richness of the world created in front of you. Things to your left appear that way and things to your right and behind sound like they are in their proper places. So the surround sound is definitely pretty awesome.
4. I am using a Monster Digital Audio Cable, and these digital beeps that people talk about in the background during silend periods are still there. It is not distracting at all, however and you really really have to listen to hear it.
All in all, this is a pretty rad headset, If you want to wait for the AXPro, which has improved upon this set in many ways check it out here: [...]
However, if you are in the market for a set today, and are looking for something that allows for a great solo experience free of the distractions that ambient sound would make, or free from disturbing those who live around you, then this set is a definite...its pretty sweet.
Hope this helps...

Tritton AX360 head phones November 15, 2008
I have only had these headphones for a few days, first of all everything worked as described, construction wise they are solid or beefy. Tritton has just about all you need to connect your system in the package. You will have to adjust the headphones to your liking, I had read many reviews on these headphones some users talked of lack of bass, in my opinion it has plenty bass.
Yes these are my first set of 5.1 headphones; originally I was in the market for a way to hook up my 5.1 computer speakers to my Xbox 360. In my search on the web, I found the Tritton 5.1 headphones I decided that this would be my best bet. I had no problems with the headphones they worked great. I noticed while looking at the audio controller that comes with the headphones, there is a 5.1 analog output that I can use to connect to my creative sound 5.1 computer audio system. I tried it and it worked great.
Overall I got more than I bargained for. I feel that I got 2 for 1 in purchasing the Tritton AX360 headphones. A great set of headphones and also a way to connect my Xbox360 to my computer speakers.
 Quite disapointing... November 13, 2008
The headset is not comfortable, falls off too easily, the rumble is too weak but most of all the surround sound is mediocre! (I don't know if it's because the headset I've been sent is broken but) The rear speakers sounds like a $2 radio speaker, it really kills the ambiance and definitely doesn't help in an fps shooter game to figure out where you're getting shot from.
The mic is ok but I wish it sounded better that the $15 one that I've had for over 10 years. I think the worse part about the mic is that if you use the little box and connect via the digital input you'll have to figure out a way to connect it to your mic input of your sound card and no adapter from mini-jack to regular jack is in the box but even worse if like me your sound card works either in digital or analog but not both at the same time then even if you find a way to plug your mic in it will probably be useless. :/
I was so disappointed that I asked for a refund after only 2 days of trying to convince myself that I did a good purchase.
Comfort, Clarity and Clear Imaging November 12, 2008
I've had these headphones for a few months and I have to say they are fantastic. They're comfortable enough to wear for hours with no stress and minimal ear fatigue. The ability to dial in front/center/rear/sub individually from a hardware dial system is awesome. With an Xbox 360, you can use the center dial as in-game speech control vs front/back for game sounds.
The only drawbacks are 1.) the mic gooseneck has become a little loose over time (due to overuse) with the wires at the back becoming exposed; and 2.) the system doesn't seem to keep the volume setting once the 360 is powered off (meaning you have to turn the volume down every time you turn the 360 on). I've gotten around this by setting my dials very low (front/rear set at 3-4 of 10).
Mic cable is a good length, but could use a few more inches for putting the controller down and taking the headphones off. Not even a real issue.
If you plan on running this across a decent length (say 15+ feet) you might want to get a longer cable before the main box, as I nearly pull the unit off my entertainment center when leaning back too far (or the dog runs across the living room and snags the cable). A longer cable would allow you to keep the box closer to your sitting position.
Now if only they could make this in wireless...
