Ive since sold the trittons to my brother and stuck with the AKGs..... its a slightly more expensive setup but the sound more than makes up for the extra money spent. oh, and to anyone reading this - the answer to my question in the above post is that the ax360's dont have any form of standard RCA input. 685024@blogcritics.org Fri, 4 Jan 2008 11:17:54 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/07/073819.php#comment-676987 Hiya - im going to buy a set of ax360's.... they look like the perfect product for me. Had my doubts before reading this review - so first off.... thanks Ken! I have just one question, im looking to get a set of headphones that i can also use for normal TV viewing, does the control unit have any kind of analog input? or can the headset be unplugged from the control unit and put directly into the TV headset output? also - how many optical inputs does the control unit have? I have a HD cable box with optical out - as well as my 360, wii and Ps3.... 676987@blogcritics.org Sun, 2 Dec 2007 05:02:50 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/07/073819.php#comment-611525 If the game itself does not have controls for adjusting the volume of in-game music/sound, then you will struggle to hear chat over Xbox Live. Gears has good controls for this, I found a number of games that do not, which is irritating. 611525@blogcritics.org Mon, 16 Jul 2007 09:20:21 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/07/073819.php#comment-611406 I know this is a little old here, its July, last post I saw was April... I just want to know one thing, I have tried 2 different headphone sets for the 360 and I always had trouble hearing people talk over xbox live over the sound of the gameplay. Basically, the audio coming through the chat lines was too quiet and the game was too loud (Gears of war). I have tried to counteract this by turing music/sfx in game down, still hard to hear sometimes. I would like to trade these up for this set if anyone can confirm no problems hearing people while action is going on... 611406@blogcritics.org Sun, 15 Jul 2007 22:31:27 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/07/073819.php#comment-581683 These are excellent surround headphones for the 360. You will be amazed at the seperation of sounds. I play R6Vegas... and I can hear where someone is much better than I expected. [Edited] 581683@blogcritics.org Sun, 22 Apr 2007 14:27:03 EDT
