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.

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

he AXPC’s “rumble” effect drove us nuts, and there’s no way to defeat it other than to switch the phones to 2.1-channel mode. The rumble isn’t force feedback, in which specific events in the game cause physical effect; the earcups simply vibrate in...

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....

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...

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...

USB Connection+ 5.1 Digital Surround Sound+ Great looking - love the color.+ Portable+ Sound great - could use a tad more bass.+ Durable

Bumping the Audio Controller changes the volumes easily.- Needs to add a little more pressure to your head to hold them in place better

We (Modders-Inc) had the pleasure of meeting up with a couple of Tritton's representatives at this years QuakeCon event. We had the chance to take a quick listen to their two demo models (TRI-UA512 & TRI-GA600) as well as discuss their features. We...

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
