So, we’ve already given you an in-depth look at Tritton’s AX Pro Gaming Headset, and Tim had the pleasure of paying the company a visit at E3 this year to check out their latest AX720 and AX900 models that addressed some of my initial complaints about the AX Pro. Today on the floor, however, we were able to see the next entry into Tritton’s arsenal of audio goods.
The entry level AX180 is much smaller than the Pro, 720, and 900, but still packs quite a punch. It sports the same speakers as the more pricey 720 and 900 models, and can even be used universally on all consoles, including the Wii. It’s USB-powered too, which means no need to search around for a wall socket. I think of all their headsets, this one is the one that really speaks to me given its smaller design and simple connection options. It’s definitely going to work fine for mundane tasks like Skype and playing the DS. It’s due out at the end of summer at a price point of about $69, so watch for more information as it becomes available.
Are you at all interested in any of Tritton’s audio wares? Do you think stepping down from their high-end gaming headsets is a good way to go?
