Tritton Technologies today announced the availability of its Audio Xtreme AX360, one of the industry's first high performance Dolby Digital and Pro Logic certified digitalgaming headsets for Xbox, Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation PS2 console gamers, which has been showcased at e3 expo in May and provides true 5.1 digital, 360-degree surround sound.

The external 5.1 audio controller amplifies each individual speaker providing total control with inline adjustments for front, side, rear, and subwoofer to customize the immersion. Moreover, the AX360's unique rumble effect lets gamers feel the action.

"The AX360 is the most advanced gaming headset on the market, delivering a loud, perfectly clear and truly unique audio experience for console gamers," said Chris Von Huben, president of TRITTON Technologies. "Today's games combine cutting-edge graphics, sound effects and soundtracks, and the AX360 provides a true 360 degree sound field to pull gamers into their virtual worlds. And, gamers can play at full volume at any time, without bothering family, roommates, or neighbors."

By using the removable microphone that is Xbox Live compatible, gamers can also communicate with the system and other gamers, as they can also hear, because of the system's enhanced features, when their enemies are sneaking up behind them, the roar of engines as they pass the competition, bullets flying from side to side, explosions emitting from all directions over the battlefield, and every nuance of every different environment - no matter what kind of game they're playing.

The Audio Xtreme headphones are already available for $149 through Tritton's distributor network. The AX360 can also support two headsets to share in the audio extremities with secondary headsets available for $59.
