3 out of 5 stars Good product but lousy software and drivers.......2007-11-29

These headphones are a very good quality set. The base response they have is impressive, sound quality is very good and they are comfortable enough to wear for a long period of time. The microphone is also excellent with no problems with clarity.

Unfortunately, this company still does not have a good functioning Windows Vista software package for this headset, and doesn't seem to be in a rush to get one released. Functionality in Vista is therefore greatly limited, and the driver is very annoying - you have to reboot Windows to change from speakers to headphone or vice-versa.

I would not recommend this product to anyone until new proper drivers and software are released, and then I would probably give it a 5 star.

3 out of 5 stars Good product, if you don't use 64-bit Vista.......2007-05-16

They claim on their website that it works with Vista. They don't says that they don't have any Vista drivers ready (after 7 months of Vista being launched) and they only have a BETA Vista 32-bit driver out.
I did install XP to try it out and it does work well for 5.1 headset. However, as others have noted in countless reviews, Tritton headphones do not do a good job at reproducing high quality sound and this is no exception (the AX360 product from them is also not that good at producing crisp high-end sounds).
I would recommend getting a real sound card or just using the built in 5.1 sound that most PC's come with now and a headset that has true 5.1 sound. I don't think this product is really worth it.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1RFLZZHAB0VFY Although I agree that this video produces great audio input and output, there are a few things that the customer should know about before they buy. Take a look at the video to see.

5 out of 5 stars USB interface performs well.......2007-07-17

The headphone unit itself performs adequately, but, this is not the reason I give it five stars. I give it five stars for the supplied USB adaptor which provides excellent audio. When using the USB adaptor instead of the microphone/ headphones I/Os on my VAIO A160 and UX280 notebooks, the audio is much clearer. However, the audio quality could be significantly degraded if using an USB hub (in my case, with Cyberpower CP-H420MP).

    4 out of 5 stars Very nice headphones but..........2007-04-09

    I enjoy these headphones quite a bit but I have stopped using the USB connection to drive them. I find that the included adapter plugged directly into the audio jacks on my existing sound card delivers as good a sound, though not 5.1, as the usb unit. The trouble is that when using Teamspeak, or Ventrilo gaming, it has caused some annoying crashing and other sound issues. Directly plugged in, no troubles at all. But the biggest surprise was using them with my MP3 player. They produce glorious sound from the tiny output of my Sandisk. I liked them so much I bought my wife a set for her evening listening and she loves them too, although she did comment that they needed to be a bit crisper( which I took to mean brighter)and I have to agree. But they are very smooth and easy on the ears. The microphone is also very good and clear and my fellow gamers comment on the great sound they get from it. They are reasonably light weight and have been quite durable. Again, while the USB is fine for DVD playback and standard listening, in full communication use they need a driver fix.

    2 out of 5 stars Broken In Six Months.......2006-12-23

    I am 31 years old, every game system i ever bought still works and I still regularly use the first ever DVD player and VCR i ever bought. My point is i take care of products I purchase so I can get years of use out of them. Within two weeks of purchasing these headphones the plastic that covers the slide bars broke on each side. I dont have a big head and I never pull them apart more than needed. Within six months of purchase, these headphones were broken into two pieces. Once the plastic covers broke it put stress on them even more until one side completely snapped in two. I will say that while they lasted they never were uncomfortable, even after 8 hour gaming sessions. The sound is good and the mic worked well. I had to give these headphones 2 stars for having a 6 month life expectancy.

    5 out of 5 stars GREAT.......2005-10-25

    These headphones, i got over 5 months ago, i use them with both my mac and PC. Great sound quality, better than bose, no joke. The surround sound is amazing for gameing, its cheating when compaired to stereo since now, when i get sniped at, i hear the gunshot from rear right, i turn to my rear right and theres the sniper... haha i love them, i bring them on road trips, to school, everywhere. People are like "they dont look cool" i dont care... although they are bulky and not too portable, great quality for the price. For these phones to be better, they would have to have noise canceling, smaller, more portable, BETTER ADAPTER FOR 2.5mm jacks, i always loose that little black thing, and with my ipod, great sound quality, but sometimes when the ipod stops the musci cuz the sensor thinks the jack is unplugged... but this happenes like once per 30 mins, no biggie, just press play again. Other than the non portablility and the fact that the little adapter gets lost eaisly due to my clumbseyness, there are the best headhones i have ever purchased. DOnt be discouraged by the non name brand. These headphones do circles around bose since they have essentially 4 speakers in eash ear, a Sub, 1 frount, 1 rear, 1 center, they all distribute music audio well, since the sub takes the lows, the center takes the midrange, and the F and R take the tweeters, all mixed into one, SOUND AUSOME. where as the Bose only has 1 great speaker to work with, these headphones are like compairing the new Dual core Dual processor g5 with 4 processors to the single g5 imac, great performance, but 4 brains (speakers) are better than one!!!

    2 out of 5 stars OK, but expect better quality for the price.......2005-10-16

    I've had these for a few months. You actually do get reasonable quality surround sound from the unit. However, as noted by several other reviewers, there is constant crackling and hissing in the background and the microphone falls off frequently. The noise get's worse if you use your keyboard or mouse. I'm using a high quality sound card in a well grounded computer. I used to put this computer's sound through a home surround sound amplifier and it was whisper quiet, so it's not an issue on my end. E-mails to customer support have gone unanswered.

    Bottom line...it will give you surround sound. If you are an audiophile, the background noise will really annoy you. It works for my purposes, but they should cost $29 like the other mid range consumer headphones.

    4 out of 5 stars High Quality.......2005-10-13

    Never having had any other headphones I don't really know how to compare these, but the speakers definetely work fine and I can identify different directions' sounds... but there is a small crackling in the background that won't go away and I can't find out why.

      Maybe it was the person who shipped it (3rd party retailer through Amazon) but this headset is crooked and doesn't fit on my head correctly (if the ear on one side is flush the other side sticks out). Its a shame b/c otherwise they would be very comfortable.

      I paid $9.99 for this headphone, I think I got about my monies worth.

      Pros: Fits comfortably enough with small room for size adjustment if needed

      Cons: After 1 week of use, the left side just stopped working out (can still hear out of the right side thankfully)

      -----
      Edit: Now I'm having trouble hearing and being heard over skype. This headphone is pretty terrible reception wise and should be AVOIDED.
