Lono wasn’t the only one surprised by the sound from the AX360.
Being a slight audiophile, I was a bit skeptical as I stepped in front of the Tritton Booth here at Quakecon to try out the AX360. I’ve heard headphones claim to deliver surround sound, but when it comes down to it, most use emulation to attempt to deliver the goods that never comes close to true surround sound. These mamas, which work with the Xbox 360, PS3, and even PC systems, do it right.
With fours speakers in each ear cup, the AX360 sounded fantastic. Things that were supposed to be behind me, sounded that way. No funky echoes or misplaced effects. The added ear-rumble added to the experience. Imagine a subwoofer strapped to your ear, and you’re close.
A built-in microphone, and heavily adjustable volume controls for each channel make this sucker about the geekiest sound equipment that money can buy, and at 129.99 it better. Though selling at a significant discount here at QuakeCon, those of you searching for a way to take your gaming audio to a new level are going to love these.
Other noteable features include:
- 1 year FULL Warranty
- 16 foot adjustable (velcro) cord
- Ventilated ear cups
- Podcaster accessibility

From the looks of that pic, Lono just heard the end of episode 14 of the Blu show!
he still hasn’t. he turned it off when the credits rolled.
Been keeping my eyes on these. As soon as they hit a retailer in the UK that I’ve heard of, I’ll be picking up a pair
How I love those headsets…I’m glad you checked them out. I can’t wait to see the new released ones at PAX….28 more days
The AX360’s mic does not work with the PS3, you need an adapter.
I looked it up, The AX Pro, which is the new one coming out, is like the 360 but it adds microphone support for the PS3. It’s not out yet but will be soon.

I love mine. Whish I would have known that the new mics work with PS3 as that is the system I have them for.
