Tritton AX360 Review

I have recently purchased the Tritton AX360 surround sound earphones for gaming. The concept of these earphones are awesome, but the end result is not exactly what I expected. Granted they do deliver on the surround aspect, but I am not totally happy with the quality of sound that comes from them. The front and rear and center channels seem to work just fine but the bass driver doesn’t make it seem like bass. The bass almost sounds tinny, there really isn’t any depth to it. I tried to take in the fact that these are headphones and there isn’t much room to work with, but I have listened to less expensive headphones that deliver great bass. The main reason I bought these headphones was to use with my Xbox360 and especially with the game Call of Duty 4. In this game there are many explosions and everything sounds just great except as I said the bass part. The explosions sound all treble and not a lot of bass. Now there is a bass volume control on the unit along with front, rear, and center controls, but when you turn the bass all the way up all it does is cause the headphones to vibrate annoyingly but the bass doesn’t get any deeper. Other than this small flaw I find the headphones are great, because now I can hear when an enemy is sneaking up from behind or the sides, and I am now able to hear sounds that I was not able to hear before. So all in all I would give the Tritton AX360′s a 7 out of 10.
