May 15, 2008 4:22 PMInside Mac Games is pleased to announce that our official review of Tritton's AXPC and AX360 gaming headsets is up and ready for your reading enjoyment. Here's a clip from the review: Before we begin, it is important to note that multichannel headset audio is something of a taboo among audio enthusiasts for several legitimate reasons. First and foremost, multichannel audio requires many more drivers than stereo audio. Packing all of that hardware into a very confined space is an unlikely recipe for aural excellence, which is why high-end vendors avoid the concept entirely. Second, the cost of a typical 5.1 headset falls into the range of what audio enthusiasts consider to be the domain of good, entry-level stereo headphones (like the Grado SR-60). With a larger number of drivers and only a small price premium, multichannel headsets like the AXPC and AX360 tend to suffer from subpar audio fidelity when compared to their traditional peers. Theoretically, gaming puts more of a premium on the accurate directional reproduction of sound than its aural fidelity, therefore, the question of whether or not Tritton has managed to make that tradeoff worthwhile will be the focus of this discussion.To check out the rest of the review, follow the link below.IMG Review of the Tritton AXPC & AX360TRI-GA600 AX360 HeadsetTRI-UA512 AXPC HeadsetTritton Technologies
