I have to see reviews as I have the X4 Turtle Beach and I think it makes gaming, especially in games like Call of Duty 4 & COD: W@W worth it to have. Not to mention watching movies with them on is pretty solid.
I have been hearing about the Tritton AXPros, but I haven't had a chance to hear for myself but if these or that one being mention in the article are stated as better than the X4 Turtle Beach I'm all ears.
The X4 and these approach 5.1 surround differently. These (along with Tritton) put multiple drivers in the headset. The TB X4 (and Astro A40's) use DOLBY HEADPHONE to create 5.1 surround through stereo speakers. I have the Astro's and they are great. Sound placement is very accurate for both games and movies... it truly reproduces surround sound on a pair of headphones. Never tried the Trittons so can't give a comparison. Most reviews that I've read trying both lean towards DOLBY HEADPHONE over multiple drivers, but it's a mixed bag, so in the end you would have to decide what sounds best to you.
“While it's not exactly punching it out with the heavyweights in multi-room audio, the Mint Studio does certainly hold its own with many similarly-priced iPod docks out there.”

Does anyone here know any better?
