First let me say that this is only my second headset, the other is the TB X12 which I highly recommend too.

Quality built

8/10

My TB X12 feel more resistant to falls and everything. I'd say these are solid, and since I am the kind of guy who takes care of his things and treat them nicely I am sure I won't have any problems with these. Now, if you are the kind of person who throws their stuff like it is garbage then you are probably going to break them in less than a year. ADVANTAGE X12 BUT TRITTONS LOOK WAY SEXIER.

I like how they look but I'd love them even more if they were black as the Warheads (why do them white when the Xbox and PS3 are black??)

Sound Quality

9/10

At first it was a bit hard to hear footsteps (in CoD and Halo) thanks to the high bass and high environmentt sound (explosions sound great), but after a few days I got used to it and started to hear the footsteps, and with the surround sound I could tell where the enemies were, much better than the X12, ADVANTAGE TRITTON

Note: YES, there is a buzzing noise but seriously I am kind of picky and somewhat hard to satisfy but IMO this ISN'T a big problem, once the game starts you won't notice it.

Comfort

9/10

If you have a big head you may want to look elsewhere, I have a slightly bigger head than the average person and I had to fully extend them to fit me. For me the comfort is great, feels good. ADVANTAGE TRITTON

Mic

9/10

A bit sensitive, it does register my breathing but all you have to do is twist the mic a little and put it facing your chin and the breathing is gone. If they had added that cover they put on mics I would have give them 10/10. ADVANTAGE X12

Some other things

It is great that it comes with 2 cables for the Xbox controller, in case one fails.

Hearing yourself in this... it is a bit loud, specially if you laugh, not a big problem since you can turn it off.

After getting used to the headset I gotta say I am pretty happy with it and I highly recommend them. If you have the money go for it, this is the best you can get under $150.

This review might be a little disorganized but I'll just tell you guy's my likes and dislikes.

I've tried out a variety of different gaming headphones for the last two years. Just with Tritton and Turtle Beach. I'm a serious gamer. I game A LOT. Before I had these, I had the Turtle Beach PX5. They're wireless which is nice but also sucks. I had rechargeable batteries but it seemed like during a game of Search and Destroy in Modern Warfare 3 or in Gears of War 3, I'd have to replace my batteries. It sucked. I had those for about 6 months. So I looked for a pair of nice, wired gaming headphones that I wouldn't have to worry about changing batteries all the time. And that's exactly what I found.

The sound on the Tritton 720+ is great. It's not as good as the PX5, but you get what you pay for. I LOVE the bass in these. It helps add effect to when you're playing. The explosions rumble, or when your playing Forza Horizon, the music sounds great along with the car sounds and effects too. I find it hard at times to hear people who are talking on Xbox Live. The sound that comes out of the chat sounds a little cheap for when people talk. I also find the mic to be a little too sensitive. If you make a little sound, people can hear it. I also have a tower fan going next to me to keep me cool and I keep it on low but yet from about 3 feet away it still picks it up. I had no problem with my Turtle Beaches when I had my fan going.

The comfort for these are great. I wear glasses so wearing my Turtle Beaches after an hour or so started to hurt the side of my head from the Beaches pushing my glasses. I wore them for 5 hours + and had no problems with any discomfort, but I do feel almost as if its made for a smaller head. I wear about a 7 1/8 hat size and these fit me perfectly. The adjustments on these seem to not stay in place at times. When I adjust it on my head and wear them, I really don't have this problem. But if you take them off, the weight from each side seems to weigh down the adjustments and I always find my self having to readjust them.

Overall, I really do love the headphones but there are some minor flaws. Sound is great. Comfort is amazing and I would still recommend these to people. I would like to see these to be a bit cheaper.

UPDATE 12-22-12:

I still love this headset but a few days ago, the right ear went out. I've only had it for 6 weeks, which is pathetic considering I had numerous pairs of other gaming headsets and had no problems with any other headset. I do take really good care of my gear, especially if I'm dropping $150+ on a gaming headset. To me, it's just a designer flaw. The adjustable volume piece will fall down from the weight of it, pushing/ tearing the cord that connects to your headset and it slowly did that with my headset. I still think this headset is great but now I'm highly disappointed because of what causes this to happen. I would wait to buy this headset to see if they fix this problem. I've never tried them, but around Christmas I'm going to be buying the Astro A40s because I've heard a lot of good things about them.

I had an old version of 720 and I loved it. Now it was time for an upgrade and I got this headset. Sound on this set is just great, I think it is better that the old version. Also, they are more comfortable than the original 720.

I think for the money it might be the best headset on the market.

If you've xbox 360, dont buy coz, Xbox one wont support the current headphones,(news that microsoft is working on adapter,thumbs down).

For PS3,its best I've used. No buzzing issue for PS3 USB [dont use other usb for charging while using headphone]. perfect investment for next 8-10yrs console surround gaming.

Surround Sound brings the game/movie to real life. not much diffrnce b/w 5.1 and 7.1 surround 9/10,

Felt Rear channel experience is not as good as front & side channel.

Heard Astro A40s are better,but costly and bad customer service.

Sound Quality is superb, Bass is minimal since low frequency is 25Hz ( The lower the frequency, better the bass), Treble is crisp and zero distortion [High frequency-22KHz] 9.5/10.

Comfort It's bit tight for me,head size b/w Small & Medium 6.5/10.

Design & Packing Build quality is superior, feels high end gadget 9/10.

Setup EaseVery easy to setup. All the necessary cables are included. 10/10
