Hi Guys…
I am going to purchase a pair of headsets, which are mainly going to be used for gaming.
I have narrowed my choices down to these two:
More info on Astro A40 Audio System (Plus Toss link cable) - £209.90
Features Include:
Amazing sound quality - Astro A40 Audio System combines crystal-clear voice communication with pinpoint-accurate 5.1 Dolby and Dolby Surround Headphone to hear your enemies from every direction.
Fully configurable comfort and style - Adjustable headset, quick-disconnect cable, in-line mute switch, user-configurable microphone boom and Astro’s patent-pending removable speaker tags allow you to game in comfort and in style. You can even design your own tag using ASTRO's Speaker Tag Customizer(sold separately)
Play on variety of systems - Whether it’s your Xbox 360, PS3, or PC the new and improved MixAmp easily plugs directly into any system.
Voice and stereo at your fingertips - The MixAmp’s discrete game/voice balance control allows you to adjust the settings to fit your needs.
Dedicated voice channel - Link multiple MixAmps together for a private, hands-free, full-duplex voice communication channel experience - much higher-quality than VoIP systems, with zero network and system lag.
Inject your own soundtrack - Connect your mp3 player through the mixer itself with a 3.5mm-to-3.5mm cable (sold separately). Free up valuable system resources, and put your music within arm's reach.
Fully Loaded - The A40 Audio System comes with a quick-disconnect cable and multiple ends: a MixAmp cable (also compatible with portable audio players), a standard dual-jack PC connector with in-line volume and mute control.
More info on Tritton Ax Po - £159.95
Features Include:
True 5.1 Digital Audio Headset.
Detachable microphone compatible with Xbox Live, Playstation Network, and PC/Mac.
Digital audio connection for DVD, PC, PS2, PS3, XBOX, XBOX 360, and all other devices with Optical digital audio or analog 3.5mm 5.1 output.
Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic Certified.
8 speakers, 4 in each ear cup.
Illuminated In-line volume adjustment for Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer controls.
Separate volume control for voice chat.
Inline microphone and volume mute switches.
Adjustable time delay for centre and rear speakers
Dynamic Range Control.
Includes external 5.1 audio controller with analog 3.5mm 5.1 output.
Lightweight headset with deep circumauraul (around the ears) design allows for comfort even during periods of extended gaming.
The only problem I have is “Which one should I buy?”
There is only one main difference between these two headsets: The Tritton Ax Pro has “eight independent speakers to deliver true 5.1 surround sound audio. “ Whereas the Astro A40 has “The Mix amp, which is designed to be used with stereo headphones (Astro A40 headphones or regular headphones) and it uses Dolby Headphone 5.1 processing for the 5.1 surround sound effect.”
Also think you can find a better system?
Why not recommend one, my budget is £210.00
If you are going to recommend one “Make sure its Compatible with The Sony Play Station 3”.
