Firstly, and there is no getting around it, I have a big head. The standard mic on a normal XBox headset (or 3rd party derivative) misses my mouth by quite some distance nestling comfortably on my cheek at any given moment and turning my ‘charging forward now’ message to my online gaming friends into ‘mfffcg fheih noh’. No such worries with the Warhead, the mic picks up my voice with ease.

The audio out of this thing is great, I have it hooked up via optical cable to my amp rather than directly to the XBox so I can listen to movies and TV with it as well. A good range of frequencies can be heard with clarity and responsiveness. It has enough power to ramp the volume up to a decent level without distortion. I'm pretty fussy with audio (spent 12 years so far in professional audio), so for me to be happy with the sound the Warhead throws out is a big plus.

It is completely wire free playing games on the XBox, no wires from the headset to controller at all. Ace. Carry on your gaming chat while creating a sandwich masterpiece in the kitchen without worrying about getting mayo all over your controller.

Its reassuringly heavy without being too heavy to leave on your head for hours. I've managed a 4 gaming hour stint without any adverse effects whatsoever, and I'm pretty sure I could go for longer without hassle. Its comfy on the ears and it has plenty of range to adjust the headband size.

As I'm writing this, I'm still on my first battery charge, this is after several evenings worth of gaming and a couple of movies. You get 2 batteries anyway, so the action doesn't stop for long.

Minor annoyance – so far (and I haven't read the manual of course) I haven't found a way to determine battery charge without your XBox being on (when the battery charge is displayed alongside your controller's bat­tery charge). I guess as most people would be using this on their XBox its not much of a worry, but being as I'll be using it for movies as well it would have been nice.

Overall a great product though and worth the price tag (especially as I got it in the boxing day sale!), definitely glad I got this headset.

"Fairly Good"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The warhead is a very nice headset. The surround sound is very nice. The batteries charge very fast only taking 5 or 6 hours to fully charge but you get over 13 hours of use. Chat works well but I feel as though I sort of have to yell into the mic for it to pick up my voice. The only problem I have with the headset is it has a slight amount of static in each earcup but it's easy to deal with. Although thus far the chat doesn't work with the xbox one or ps4 it is still a really nice buy.

Description

Tritton's Warhead 7.1 Wireless Surround Headset is a truly wireless solution – – no need to connect a chat cable to your Xbox 360 gaming controller! A robust 5.8GHz wireless signal ensures interference-free operation from other 2.4GHz wireless devices and provides crystal-clear audio at a range of 33 feet. Hear immersive 7.1 Dolby Headphone surround sound through a pair of precision-tuned 50mm speakers featuring Neodymium magnets. With two rechargeable battery packs for 24/7 gaming, one battery always charging on the base station means you can simply swap in a fresh pack whenever the headset needs more energy.

Dolby Headphone provides 7.1-channel surround sound to enhance directional awareness and create a detailed, spacious audio landscape which sounds as if it's beyond the limits of the headset. Hearing each and every disturbance within a game's environment gives you the competitive advantage by allowing you to locate hostiles long before they sense your presence.

Gone are the days of tethering a controller to your head. The lack of a chat cable or adapter provides an all-new level of gaming freedom previously unheard of on the Xbox 360 console.

The Warhead 7.1's proprietary 5.8GHz wireless technology offers far superior audio clarity when compared to the industry standard 2.4GHz. Many wireless products on the market today are on the 2.4GHz band and if your headset operates within this frequency, it's prone to interference from cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, Wi-Fi routers, and even your microwave oven. The Warhead 7.1's 5.8GHz wireless range sidesteps potential interference by utilizing a less crowded frequency.

Features:

  • The World's First and Only TRULY WIRELESS Xbox 360 Headset!
  • Immersive 7.1 Surround Sound Powered by Dolby Headphone Technology
  • Hot-swappable, Rechargeable Batteries for Never-ending Gaming Sessions
  • Selectable EQ Settings for Games, Movies and Music
