Tritton AX Pro 5.1 Gaming Headset
Editors' rating: 3.5
The good: Discrete 5.1 surround sound headphones; supports headset chatting; various amount of adjustable controls; extra earcups; detachable microphone; compatible with most PCs and gaming consoles.
The bad: Headphones require power; tedious setup; requires a lot of wires; included 3-foot optical cable and USB cable won't get you far; heavy headphones; doesn't work with the Wii.
The bottom line: If you can get past its tedious setup, the AX Pro 5.1 Gaming Headset performs extremely well and is compatible with pretty much every gaming PC and game console except the Wii.
