The ear pieces are adjustable and for those with sensitive ears, like myself, there is no pinching. It becomes rather cumbersome after awhile, especially around the top of your head. While the comfort of the ear cups is a definite pro in my book, I do feel that there is a need for a bit more padding on top of the headset. Other than that, this setup was simple, just follow the enormous setup guide in the package and you can’t go wrong.Īs for design, this headset is much heavier than what I am used to wearing. A big thing to remember is to not forget to adjust your Xbox’s settings upon installation. The only issue that I encountered was with the optic cables as I had never used them in this manner before receiving the Pro+. I was pleasantly surprised to find out just how easy it was to set up this headset decoder and all. I want a color-coded map of what goes where and what plugs into which receptacle. I will admit that I am not as adept as most when it comes to setup procedures. Just check out the unboxing of the nearly console-size package that the Pro+ comes in:
Not to mention that the decoder box, itself, is the same size as my Linksys router. The amount of items in the box, when I opened it, seemed more than a bit daunting.
I have been using the Tritton AX 180′s, and while the sound and microphone are excellent on that set. I’ve come across my fair share of fantastic, decent, and terrible headsets. The search for the perfect headset is always a tough one, it seems. I prefer a headset to increase my situational awareness within a game like hearing the footsteps of the enemy as they get close or gaining just a bit more concentration by blocking out the ambient noise within my house. Some gamers can play just fine with sound coming through their TV, then there are those of us that have discovered the awesomeness that comes along with wearing a headset.
