REVIEW: Tritton AX Pros gaming headset

2012-04-13
hi everyone and welcome to another review by Jim's review room today we'll be looking at my personal headset on use for gaming they Tritton ax pros this particular model features true Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound coming from eight total individual speakers four from each ear Cup the ax pros is connectable to any digital source such as pcs DVDs Xbox Xbox 360 Playstation 2 and PlayStation 3 in this review I'll show you how it's connected its features its construction and how I personally feel about the performance here I connect the headset into its in-line audio controller and from there I connect it into the digital audio decoder the digital decoder offers Dolby Digital Dolby Pro Logic for converting to channel stereo sound into simulated 5.1 surround sound lastly is dynamic range controller also known as a DRC which assists with lowering loud noises and increases quiet noises so a more balanced volume is achieved and a side of the decoder you have manual controls to convert the audio to your setup the settings you see there are currently what I have from my personal gaming system the decoder box does have 5.1 analog outputs on its side and the wire is supplied by Triton as well USB connection and optical in on one side and the other side has two outputs for two a X Pro headsets to be connected the coda box is also in the same silver finish as the headset and as well as the inline audio controller here the end of the inline controller has two connections one goes directly into the decoder the other will go into its power source which I connect here the power adapter off-screen has two ends one end needs to power the decoder box the other goes into the headset line this headset does require a lot of power as you can see the decoder box lights up in a neon blue light color the inline audio control lights up as well with different colored LEDs for night gaming the color of LED indicates the volume you currently have set and in this close up each button controls the volume for its respective name I can independently increase the value in a subwoofer or increase my rears to hear people sneaking around behind me behind the audio controller or corresponding colors to value the last two wires to connect are the optical cable and the USB cable which both connects from your decoder to your gaming system I found this headset to have ample wiring which is great for those who have large rooms yes so much wiring that it does cause somewhat of a mess I've counted at 12 5 connections around my decoder box alone transport for this headset might be a bit of a hassle because of that however considering other flagship headsets they're similar an amount of wiring as well - the turtlebeach px files which are wireless though I've had this headset for a year now and they're still going ahead long and strong their ear cups still swivel in and out and they still fit to the contour of my head the headset itself clicks and continues to stay locked there's no unwanted adjustments during gameplay which I would expect from a premium headset the headset does flex to assist with fitment to the user however doesn't clamp on your noggin too much to cause discomfort I was afraid the expose was too big and too heavy but it's actually light the top band is extremely light with a foam pad which you can remove and replace the foam ear cups you see I have news for a year and have yet to flake rip or tear they're still soft and supportive to my ears the headset is connected to a three-and-a-half millimeter microphone as seen here the microphone exterior is made of what feels like a hard rubber and as and the very tip is plastic the microphone feels very sturdy and stiff the microphone is easily detachable as it is attachable as seen here it lacks in place securely and does not fall out over time and as you can see the hard rubber prevents the mic from bending too much some people might not like that but in my case it's it's fine to me and here I'd show detaching the microphone and also each side of the Tritons have detachable outer casings with a Triton's tee logos they light up orange when in use and can be visible at night besides the foam ear cups the X pros comes with faux leather replacement ear pads and headband pads as well in the box again this unit is surprisingly light for a size build construction is top-notch and as for the aesthetics they do look a little bit clunky in space age but some may something like the look and some may not in general yeah it's up to your discretion after wearing the headset for extensive call of duty sessions after about 3 hours usually I personally start feeling it weighing down on my head a little bit but the discomfort is only slight though but in general it's still a nuisance nonetheless now because the ear cups are so big it's difficult to put the headset around my neck to rest instead I have to take off the headset completely and set aside one flaw did see is the ear cups don't swivel to offer a additional adjustment it only rocks back and forth or up and down all in all the construction fitment is very well made although there are a lot of wires Triton does provide all the wires in its packaging this includes the optical wire USB cable 5.1 analog cables on asset row face right there power adapters Dakota box and the headset itself in addition the extra faux leather earpads it had been pads are a plus as for the performance this headset offers a great base for those loud and deep explosions this is it the mids and highs are decent but the price for the headset I was expecting a bit more there not too much of an audiophile however I wish spatial recognition was a little bit better at times I have to really pay attention to notice gunfire is coming from the right instead of the Center for which base ease of muse with the inline volume controller and I guess the Space Age look this is for you if you're going for the competition I would recommend for another hundred dollars more you get the Astro a40 s and it's mixed amp and they're the way to go but for a total of $250 for - for a 40s I'll pass they're a little bit too much you can get these Triton's ax pros for $160 on Amazon as I speak and that's about it I hope you enjoyed my review and please like the video the more likes the more support I receive and the more content I can put out for you and please remember subscribe for future reviews intending to do a lot more products coming out and that's about it thank you very much and take care
