1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,480
So today by request I'm going to be having a look at a product that I have

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,800
to confess I do not have a lot of experience with this category. I have

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,839
never used a set of surround sound headphones but by request I'm having a

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:20,320
look at the AX51 Pro from Triton. This is an analog 5.1 surround sound 3D

5
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:24,880
directional precision gaming headset. So basically their whole thing is that they

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:30,640
have four speakers in each one of these ear cups. They have a center channel, a

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:36,079
front channel, and a rear channel, as well as a subwoofer in each side. So,

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,640
that means that you've actually got a full analog output. So, a lot of the

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:44,559
5.1s out there do use drivers and they use software emulation or whatever else,

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:49,200
or they might even connect by USB, but this one actually just uses your

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,399
conventional uh mic, front, center, sub,

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,920
and then rear speaker jacks. So, it just

13
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:58,559
plugs right into your sound card. All right. So, let's just have a look at

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,320
their packaging here. So, in the package, you can see they outline all of

15
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:06,560
the features, which includes where the speakers are positioned in a traditional

16
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:10,720
5.1 setup. Okay, thanks for that. It shows that you can independently control

17
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,400
each sound field via the back lit inline controller. So, that's kind of nice.

18
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:18,960
Okay, you can have a look at that. And then what else do we have here? Okay,

19
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:23,040
you can plug two of them into the AX Pro to game with a friend on a console. Uh,

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:28,080
whyever you'd want to do that. I'm not 100% sure. You can interchange the ear

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:33,520
cup padding. You can change the headrail padding. You can change you has a

22
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,840
removable flexible microphone and it has

23
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:39,640
an Xbox Live port. Okay, I'm guessing that's why you would want to use it with

24
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:42,560
a friend if you're a console gamer. And then, okay, that's pretty much

25
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:48,880
everything that we've got here. So, why don't we get started on opening this thing up? And I hope that my knife is

26
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:54,159
handy because otherwise this is going to be somewhat problematic. There it is. I

27
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:58,399
do have my blade. All right, there we go. So, let's get this open and open it

28
00:01:57,119 --> 00:02:04,640
up. I'm going to try and update with annotations once I've had a chance to try these things because I have to

29
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:10,000
confess I am a little bit curious how the whole 5.1 headphone thing works.

30
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:14,720
I've never tried it before. I have used 5.1 speakers and then I have used, you

31
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,680
know, your standard stereo headphones for gaming, but just never this way. Oh,

32
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:23,680
actually, there's something that I did want to show that was in here that I didn't have a good look at. So, this is

33
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:27,440
the speaker configuration within the earphones. So, you can kind of have a

34
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:31,360
look. I can't tell which is which, just off sort of the top of my head here, but

35
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:36,280
I'm guessing the big one is the sub and the small ones are not, for one thing.

36
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:41,360
All right. Inside we have a What is this? Okay. Product

37
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:45,040
registration as well as a quick start guide. This is a quick start guide.

38
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,959
Okay. So, it shows you how to plug in your analog connections, how to use the

39
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:53,080
little inline thing. They're actually powered. Oh, that's interesting. So, you

40
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:59,599
have an AC jack that plugs into your headphones. Wow. Okay. And then slide

41
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:03,200
pad. Okay. Yeah. Okay. That's interesting. Quick start guide. Thank

42
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:09,680
you, Triton. Okay. And then we have in here we have a little booklet that shows

43
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:13,920
you other Triton products. Okay. There we go. So, that's what's in there. Other

44
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,360
stuff that you can also buy from them. And then we get down to the product

45
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:22,319
itself. So, here is what I'm assuming is the AC adapter. Yeah. So, that's a

46
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,480
that's a reasonable size adapter right there. That's like pretty big. Okay. So,

47
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,280
that plugs right into the headphones themselves. And then we can take off

48
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:35,120
the Let me see what else is in here. There's got to be more stuff, right?

49
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:42,400
There's got to be more stuff. Ah, okay. So, in one of the boxes inside, we

50
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:45,120
find Okay, we find an analog set of

51
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:49,440
inputs connected to a custom connector here. Okay. So, that's a little adapter

52
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:53,920
there for us. Okay. And then we have uh Oh, this is the

53
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,599
mic. Okay. So, it's kind of flexible.

54
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,280
See, you can bend the mic and it'll stay where you sort of put it. Okay. So, that

55
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:04,159
plugs into the bottom of one of the ear cups. All right. And then we have a

56
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:08,480
couple of exchangeable ear cups as well as an exchangeable piece for the for the

57
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:13,920
top of the head for the top of the headset. Okay. So, if you don't find the stock one comfortable, you can change it

58
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:18,000
to that. That's very nice. Okay. And then that pretty much does it for our

59
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:21,600
accessories. All right. So, let's get this

60
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:25,199
open. And ah, I get it. Okay. So, all of the exchangeable ones there that I just

61
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:30,639
looked at, those are kind of pleathery ones, whereas the ones that actually

62
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:34,320
come on the headphones are um are more

63
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:36,800
of a cloth type. Okay. So, I'm just

64
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,800
trying to get this out of the box here. Wow, that is a nice long cord. I like to

65
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:45,919
see that actually because if you have a long cord then you uh won't run out of

66
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,440
cord if you sit far away from your computer while you're gaming or doing

67
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:53,120
whatever else it is doing. Okay, so pull that through there and then we're

68
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,639
finally getting to the point where we can talk about this thing a little bit.

69
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:00,800
So at the end of the long cord you'll find that custom connector right here.

70
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:06,479
Okay, so that plugs in to adapt to the uh to the 7.1 five, excuse me, 5.1 and

71
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:11,520
then you've got the DC in. Okay, so that's for our AC adapter. And then here

72
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:16,160
is our inline controller. Okay, so it gives us a little color coding uh color

73
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,880
scheme code thing. So red is the max, cyan is high, white is medium, blue is

74
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:24,880
low, and green is the minimum. All right, so that's really good to know.

75
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:30,240
And then we have a little volume control thing right here on the side. Okay, and

76
00:05:27,919 --> 00:05:33,680
then over here, oh, voice volume. Ooh, that's nice. Most of these I've seen

77
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:38,080
only have on off, but this actually has a volume slider for that. And then this

78
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,880
is to turn the microphone on and off. Just right there. Okay. So then you can

79
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:45,120
press each of the buttons and it's colorcoded for how high you've got the

80
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:50,320
volume. Very cool. There's your Xbox 360 jack right there at the bottom. And now

81
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:54,479
let's have a look at the headset itself. So first of all, I should figure out

82
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,919
which way it goes. Ah, the labels are on the inside here. So you can see that's

83
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:03,199
the right ear cup. So I'll just put that on like that. Okay. So it adjusts at the

84
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:07,360
top just like most headsets. And it's uh quite adjustable. It can be adjusted

85
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,160
quite far. So, even if my head was like this big, then it would fit quite

86
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,400
comfortably. But, I'm probably going to have it at about the medium setting,

87
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,680
just like that. It's really It's It's kind of heavy, actually, is my first

88
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,520
observation. But, I guess it has to have some weight to it if you're going to be

89
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:25,120
able to stuff all of that extra electronics and speaker gear inside. I

90
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,880
mean, I guess there's not a whole lot to say about it. It seems pretty pretty

91
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:34,319
well built. I wouldn't expect it to break if you accidentally drop it off your desk or do anything like that. I

92
00:06:32,319 --> 00:06:38,479
can't figure out just sort of like right now immediately how to change out the uh

93
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:43,039
Oh, yeah. Okay. So, these just come off like that. Okay, that was pretty simple. So, you can take off the cloth ones. You

94
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:45,880
can replace it with the ply ones. Oh, and you can see there there there's a

95
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:50,520
way better view of the speaker configuration. So, you can see where all

96
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:56,000
of the speakers are inside of the earphones or headphones, excuse me. And

97
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:59,360
then this one, I guess, is Oh, I don't want to break this. Okay, I can't really

98
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,919
figure out how to take this one off. Yeah, you can exchange this one with the

99
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:10,960
plasticky one as well. Okay, so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

100
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:12,720
Triton AX51 Pro 5.1 headphones. Oh,

101
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,280
that's really uncomfortable without the foam piece
