what's up guys on box therapy again and today we're looking at a super heavy-duty headset from Triton this is the ax pro and what makes it special is that rather than using emulation to represent 5.1 surround it's doing it through the use of multiple speakers in each ear cup there are four physical speakers in each ear cup and it's quite the feat of engineering to have them all working in conjunction to create a you know audible 5.1 surround experience something to mention is that this headset will work with the PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 a PC or a Mac so even though it's expensive at least you know it's going to be compatible with whichever device you hope to use it for as we get inside the box the first thing we notice is that there's another box and I fully expect to see a number of accessories and attachments in here because it is a fairly complex headset the first thing we see are some replacement ear pads and they're also made of a different material than the ear pads that are pre-installed these have a smooth leather like finish whereas the pre-installed ones are felt same thing goes for the headband which has a replaceable pad as well I'll probably leave the felt ones on these look like they'll probably be hotter to wear for extended gaming sessions that little tool I think was to help you get the ear pads on and off next we've got our mic which is flexible as you'd expect and it can either be on your left side or your right side all you have to do is flip the headset in the direction you want let's get that out of the way next we can pull out the headset itself and this is a hefty headset I mean it's not it's not portable well I guess it is but I mean not in the sense of some of the other options that are out there it's definitely on the larger size so here we can see our headset the amp and the remote and rather rather than struggle trying to get this stuff out I'm gonna go ahead and skip forward so we can be a little more organized there we are so here's the amp I'll put that down for a second and we'll get to that but first we'll get the boring stuff out of the way here is the documentation from Triton first we have a mini catalog outlining the different products available through Triton and next I assume is our user manual that's right product manual and this could actually be useful in this case given the fact that the headset is fairly complex in its abilities to be set up in many different ways here's the goodies box first we have an adapter for the Xbox 360 microphone input here is an analog breakout cable obviously for analog surround sound an optical cable which is the one I'll be using out of my ps3 and a USB cable for the headset connection to the amp next we've got a slightly unusual power adapter and the reason I say that is because it's got two power leads which is kind of strange but I do know that one goes directly into the remote I believe and the other one goes into the amp here is our regional power adapter let's go ahead and see how that clips together it's actually a fairly nice contraption here's that amp I was talking about you can see it's Dolby Digital certified we've got volume controls a time-delay a DC input here's the analog output to a 5.1 analog setup our mic and optical of course and here's where the headset plugs in and as you can see you can run two headsets off one amp here's a better look at the remote and as you can see it's got independently adjustable channels which is really cool it's also got a mic on/off switch a voice volume wheel as well as an Xbox 360 port in the event that you're using this with an Xbox of course we have an incremental volume switch rather than a wheel meaning you tap it and we've also got a little legend here explaining your different volumes based on LED colors here's how the mic hooks in it locks into place here's a better look at the mic here
