HCG Review: Tritton AX Pro Gaming Headset
Posted April 9th, 2009 in Articles, Peripherals, Reviews by Drew Koehler
Tritton brings the gaming community pure audio brilliance for an affordable price.
When some companies receive criticism about their products they usually just ignore it and move on to create more products with similar problems. Not the case with Tritton. In fact they took all of the criticism from the gaming community in regards to the AX 360 headset and improved it to what we know as the AX Pros.
With the AX Pros you can easily control the volume of each channel of audio with a lighted button interface that allows you to make your adjustments in the dark. The buttons use a color coded system that as you increase the volume it changes to darker colors and lightens as you decrease the sound. The microphone provides 2 channel mono input, so instead of having the voice chat in only 1 ear you are able to hear it in both of your headsets. The voice chat is very clear and has it’s own channel which means you can adjust the volume to compensate for the volume of the game being played.
The AX Pros use real bass instead of adding a rumble feature like the AX 360s. This allows for longer gaming sessions with the Pros because your ears aren’t vibrating constantly with the headphones. You connect your headset via the optical cable to the Tritton’s direct box which you plug into a wall outlet. There is a noticeable difference with the sound quality of the Pros. With the 360′s you could faintly hear the digital optic noise which sounded much like being connected to a dial up connection via modem. That noise is greatly reduced with the Pros.
