Customer Reviews:
Coming from Astro A40s... By Kathy M
First off I should mention that I'm using my mother's amazon account (go Amazon Prime) so this is from a 18 year old power gamer. (seriously...) anyway, I have a pair of Astro A40s, that I absolutely adore. That is, the headset. personally, I found that I used my surround sound system more then the astros when gaming, simply for a comfort factor. Onto the item that we're looking at however.
Pros:
Cheap. Cannot stress this enough. For the build quality, the overall look, and the sound quality, you'd be hardpressed to find a better deal. I got mine at another store for $30 (thanks after christmas specials) but it's the same product, and I've never really had an issue with amazon.
Sturdy Build
Quality Sound (I won't say that these beat the astros overall; those are just a step above. however, I gave that whole set to my father for christmas, as he is a gamer and just had another kid, so being able to game without a loud TV set whilst she sleeps is a must have)
Extras: this comes with the HDMI adapter that is normally anywhere from 5 (offbrand) to 15 (official Xbox). That is a HUGE plus, and something that didn't come with my Turtle Beach X31s.
I've never been a fan of Tritton after my first ax pros broke; then the second and third. (power gamer, remember?) but I've been brutal with these the last two or three days (usage times of 5+ hours, throwing them onto my desk for dinner-not forcefully, but not gently placing anyway, more like underhand tossing them from 6 inches above the desk) and these have taken the slight abuse like a champ.
Cons:
Stereo sound. this isn't really a complaint, but more an observation. coming from a 5.1 to this is rather obvious, but it still is very good.
Slightly tight. I get a headache after extended wear, but this might be because I have a rather large noggin (I generally need to buy XXL hats, so ya)but i'm sure the rigidity will go away with more extended use. If not, I'll find a way around it and update this.
The microphone is not removable, which isn't a huge deal, but it was nice to be able to use my Astros like normal headphones. (you can with these, but there is a microphone sticking out of the side. If that doesn't bother you, more power to ya)
Overall?
If you are thinking of getting Turtle Beach X31s or lower, but have the room to get a wired set, get these. Not having to constantly switch batteries is a huge plus, and the sound quality is the same. Plus, they look a bit less goofy.
TL:DR?
If you're spending less than $100 on a headset, buy these. Doubt you'll be disappointed.Great Entry Level Headest; Issue with wired controller By Joshua Wertheim
I have owned this product for 6 months.
I'm extremely tough on my xbox headsets, and usually have to replace them after a year. I've moved my setup into my computer room, so I've been using stereo headsets for both sound and communication on Xbox live.
I started with wireless Turtle Beaches, but the battery replacement always happened at the most inopportune time. Then I switched to the Tritton Ax720s, but the detachable mic stopped working 6 months in, and I had a heck of a time getting the replacement to work.
When I heard that Tritton was getting into the market with a new inexpensive stereo headest, I thought I would give them a shot. So far, they're my favorite.
They are On-Ear, which means that they will not envelope your whole ears like the 720s. Regardless, they are very good at noise canceling. As always, extended use does tend to warm the ears, but the headset is comfortable for me to wear 3-4 hours at a time. The adjustable mic is very nice: The boom stays put, and people have not had cause to complain about my volume.
The control module is close enough to the headset to make it easy to reach, and the graduation of the volume sliders for both gamechat and game sound are fine. Every once in a while they'll catch on something--like my shirt--and I'll have to re-adjust them, but they don't really change on their own.
The absolute best part of this setup is the included "adaptor" for old-model Xboxes. As you may know, the HDMI port contradicts the use of the older style component cables. Either you would have to buy an adaptor, or you would "mod" your cable by hacking off the plastic casing (something I had to do for my AX720s).
Instead, Tritton included a matt black stereo rca audio adaptor for those of us who play through HDMI. It's thin and light and does not interfere with the HDMI port. The adaptor included with the Triggers does not include optical audio but there isn't a need for such a port, considering the headset uses RCA (RED/WHITE) connections. The RCA ports on the headset itself are MALE/FEMALE terminated, therefore allowing extension cable use.
Now for the only negative so far: Using this with a wired controller.
I have no idea if this is just the controller acting weirdly or not, but when the headset is connected to a wired controller, a high pitch whine can be heard if the gamechat volume is on at all. If I turn down the gamechat volume, the noise goes away. If I unplug the chat cord, the volume goes away. It seems to be connected to the notification ring on the controller, because whenever that flashes, the noise goes in and out. During gameplay, it's hard to notice, but in-between matches, it's annoyingly present. It's distracting, and not present when connected to a wireless controller.
Overall I enjoy this headset the most per-dollar. If you use a wireless controller and are looking to get into a full headset, I'd recommend these over pretty much anything else. The headband is extra durable, the ear cups are comfortable, it sets itself up smoothly, and the volume is clear and loud.Non-believers, Start Believing. By Fifa12buff
Broke College Student Here, Lets get over with this review.
Pros :
1. Really good sound quality.
2. Changed my gaming experience entirely. Good mic. :)
3. Can also be used fore general use. The mic is pretty flexible and it won't bug you if you put it up.
4. Amazing deal for 40 bucks. I say its a pretty darn good deal.
Cons:
1. Ears get a little warm after couple of hours of use.
2. I have large ears, so I do have some problems fitting the headphones (I know, sad). But it's not a dealbreaker.
Pros > Cons
As a broke college student, I approve!
