 So today by request I'm going to be having a look at a product that I have to confess I do not have a lot of experience with this category. I have never used a set of surround sound headphones but by request I'm having a look at the AX51 Pro from Triton. This is an analog 5.1 surround sound 3D directional precision gaming headset. So basically their whole thing is that they have four speakers in each one of these ear cups. They have a center channel, a front channel, and a rear channel as well as a subwoofer in each side. So that means that you've actually got a full analog output. So a lot of the 5.1's out there do use drivers and they use software emulation or whatever else or they might even connect by USB. But this one actually just uses your conventional mic, front, center, sub, and then rear speaker jacks. So it just plugs right into your sound card. Alright so let's just have a look at their packaging here. So in the package you can see they outline all of the features which includes where the speakers are positioned in a traditional 5.1 setup. Okay thanks for that. It shows that you can independently control each sound field via the backlit inline controller. So that's kind of nice. Okay you can have a look at that. And then what else do we have here? Okay you can plug two of them into the AX Pro to game with a friend on a console. Why ever you'd want to do that I'm not 100% sure. You can interchange the ear cut padding. You can change the head rail padding. You can change, it has a removable flexible microphone. And it has an Xbox Live port. Okay I'm guessing that's why you would want to use it with a friend if you're a console gamer. And then da da da da da da da da. Okay that's pretty much everything that we've got here. So why don't we get started on opening this thing up. And I hope that my knife is handy because otherwise this is going to be somewhat problematic. There it is. I do have my blade. Alright there we go. So let's get this open. And open it up. I'm going to try and update with annotations once I've had a chance to try these things. Because I have to confess I am a little bit curious how the whole 5.1 headphone thing works. I've never tried it before. I have used 5.1 speakers. And then I have used your standard stereo headphones for gaming. But just never this way. Oh actually there's something that I did want to show that was in here that I didn't have a good look at. So this is the speaker configuration within the earphones. So you can kind of have a look. I can't tell which is which. Just off sort of the top of my head here. But I'm guessing the big one is the sub and the small ones are not. For one thing. Alright inside we have a... What is this? Okay product registration as well as a quick start guide. This is a quick start guide. Okay so it shows you how to plug in your analog connections. How to use the little inline thing. They're actually powered. Oh that's interesting. So you have an AC jack that plugs into your headphones. Wow okay. And then slide pad. Okay yeah okay. That's an interesting quick start guide. Thank you Tritten. Okay and then we have in here we have a little booklet that shows you... Other Tritten products. Okay there we go. So that's what's in there. Other stuff that you can also buy from them. And then we get down to the product itself. So here is what I'm assuming is the AC adapter. Yep. So that's a reasonable sized adapter right there. That's like pretty big. Okay so that plugs right into the headphones themselves. And then we can take off the... Let me see. What else is in here? There's got to be more stuff right? There's got to be more stuff. Ah okay. So in one of the boxes inside we find... Okay we find an analog set of inputs. Connected to a custom connector here. Okay so that's a little adapter there for us. Okay and then we have... Oh this is the mic. Okay so it's kind of flexible. See you can bend the mic and it will stay where you sort of put it. Okay so that plugs into the bottom of one of the ear cups. Alright and then we have a couple of exchangeable ear cups. As well as an exchangeable piece for the top of the headset. Okay so if you don't find the stock one comfortable you can change it to that. That's very nice. Okay and then that pretty much does it for our accessories. Alright so let's get this open. And ah I get it. Okay so all of the exchangeable ones there that I just looked at. Those are kind of pleathery ones. Whereas the ones that actually come on the headphones are more of a cloth type. Okay so I'm just trying to get this out of the box here. Wow that is a nice long cord. I like to see that actually. Because if you have a long cord then you won't run out of cord. If you sit far away from your computer while you're dinging or doing whatever else you're doing. Okay so we'll pull that through there. And then we're finally getting to the point where we can talk about this thing a little bit. So at the end of the long cord you'll find that custom connector right here. Okay so that plugs in to adapt to the 7.1, excuse me 5.1. And then you've got the DC in. Okay so that's for our AC adapter. And here is our inline controller. Okay so it gives us a little color coding, color scheme code thing. So red is the max, cyan is high, white is medium, blue is low, and green is the minimum. Alright so that's really good to know. And then we have a little volume control thing right here on the side. Okay and then over here, oh voice volume. Ooh that's nice. Most of these I've seen only have on-off but this actually has a volume slider for that. And then this is to turn the microphone on and off just right there. Okay so then you can press each of the buttons and it's color coded for how high you've got the volume. Very cool. There's your Xbox 360 jack right there at the bottom. And now let's have a look at the headset itself. So first of all I should figure out which way it goes. Ah the labels are on the inside here so you can see that's the right ear cup. So I'll just put that on like that. Okay so it adjusts at the top just like most headsets. And it's quite adjustable, it can be adjusted quite far. So even if my head was like this big then it would fit quite comfortably. But I'm probably going to have it at about the medium setting just like that. It's really, it's kind of heavy actually is my first observation. But I guess it has to have some weight to it if you're going to be able to stuff all of that extra electronics and speaker gear inside. I mean I guess there's not a whole lot to say about it. It seems pretty well built. I wouldn't expect it to break if you accidentally drop it off your desk or do anything like that. I can't figure out just sort of like right now immediately how to change out the, oh yeah okay so these just come off like that. Okay that was pretty simple. So you can take off the cloth ones, you can replace it with the plattery ones. Oh and you can see there, there's a way better view of the speaker configuration. So you can see where all of the speakers are inside of the earphones, or headphones excuse me. And then this one I guess is, oh I don't want to break this. Okay I can't really figure out how to take this one off. But yeah you can exchange this one with the plasticky one as well. Okay so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Triton AX51 Pro 5.1 headphones. So that's really uncomfortable without the foam piece there.
