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

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:10.800
to confess I do not have a lot of experience with this category. I have

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:15.839
never used a set of surround sound headphones but by request I'm having a

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:20.320
look at the AX51 Pro from Triton. This is an analog 5.1 surround sound 3D

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:24.880
directional precision gaming headset. So basically their whole thing is that they

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:30.640
have four speakers in each one of these ear cups. They have a center channel, a

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:36.079
front channel, and a rear channel, as well as a subwoofer in each side. So,

00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:40.640
that means that you've actually got a full analog output. So, a lot of the

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:44.559
5.1s out there do use drivers and they use software emulation or whatever else,

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:49.200
or they might even connect by USB, but this one actually just uses your

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:52.399
conventional uh mic, front, center, sub,

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:53.920
and then rear speaker jacks. So, it just

00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:58.559
plugs right into your sound card. All right. So, let's just have a look at

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:02.320
their packaging here. So, in the package, you can see they outline all of

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.560
the features, which includes where the speakers are positioned in a traditional

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:10.720
5.1 setup. Okay, thanks for that. It shows that you can independently control

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:14.400
each sound field via the back lit inline controller. So, that's kind of nice.

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,

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,

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

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:33.520
cup padding. You can change the headrail padding. You can change you has a

00:01:30.080 --> 00:01:35.840
removable flexible microphone and it has

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

00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:42.560
a friend if you're a console gamer. And then, okay, that's pretty much

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

00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:54.159
handy because otherwise this is going to be somewhat problematic. There it is. I

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

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

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:10.000
confess I am a little bit curious how the whole 5.1 headphone thing works.

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

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:17.680
know, your standard stereo headphones for gaming, but just never this way. Oh,

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

00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:27.440
the speaker configuration within the earphones. So, you can kind of have a

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

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.

00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:41.360
All right. Inside we have a What is this? Okay. Product

00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:45.040
registration as well as a quick start guide. This is a quick start guide.

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:48.959
Okay. So, it shows you how to plug in your analog connections, how to use the

00:02:46.959 --> 00:02:53.080
little inline thing. They're actually powered. Oh, that's interesting. So, you

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:59.599
have an AC jack that plugs into your headphones. Wow. Okay. And then slide

00:02:57.160 --> 00:03:03.200
pad. Okay. Yeah. Okay. That's interesting. Quick start guide. Thank

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:09.680
you, Triton. Okay. And then we have in here we have a little booklet that shows

00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:13.920
you other Triton products. Okay. There we go. So, that's what's in there. Other

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.360
stuff that you can also buy from them. And then we get down to the product

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

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:25.480
that's a reasonable size adapter right there. That's like pretty big. Okay. So,

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:31.280
that plugs right into the headphones themselves. And then we can take off

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?

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

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:45.120
find Okay, we find an analog set of

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:49.440
inputs connected to a custom connector here. Okay. So, that's a little adapter

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:53.920
there for us. Okay. And then we have uh Oh, this is the

00:03:50.920 --> 00:03:55.599
mic. Okay. So, it's kind of flexible.

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

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

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:08.480
couple of exchangeable ear cups as well as an exchangeable piece for the for the

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

00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:18.000
to that. That's very nice. Okay. And then that pretty much does it for our

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:21.600
accessories. All right. So, let's get this

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

00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:30.639
looked at, those are kind of pleathery ones, whereas the ones that actually

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:34.320
come on the headphones are um are more

00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:36.800
of a cloth type. Okay. So, I'm just

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

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

00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:49.440
cord if you sit far away from your computer while you're gaming or doing

00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:53.120
whatever else it is doing. Okay, so pull that through there and then we're

00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:56.639
finally getting to the point where we can talk about this thing a little bit.

00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:00.800
So at the end of the long cord you'll find that custom connector right here.

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

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

00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:16.160
is our inline controller. Okay, so it gives us a little color coding uh color

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:20.880
scheme code thing. So red is the max, cyan is high, white is medium, blue is

00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:24.880
low, and green is the minimum. All right, so that's really good to know.

00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:30.240
And then we have a little volume control thing right here on the side. Okay, and

00:05:27.919 --> 00:05:33.680
then over here, oh, voice volume. Ooh, that's nice. Most of these I've seen

00:05:31.919 --> 00:05:38.080
only have on off, but this actually has a volume slider for that. And then this

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.880
is to turn the microphone on and off. Just right there. Okay. So then you can

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:45.120
press each of the buttons and it's colorcoded for how high you've got the

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:50.320
volume. Very cool. There's your Xbox 360 jack right there at the bottom. And now

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

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

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

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:07.360
top just like most headsets. And it's uh quite adjustable. It can be adjusted

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.160
quite far. So, even if my head was like this big, then it would fit quite

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:14.400
comfortably. But, I'm probably going to have it at about the medium setting,

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

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

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:25.120
able to stuff all of that extra electronics and speaker gear inside. I

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:50.520
way better view of the speaker configuration. So, you can see where all

00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:56.000
of the speakers are inside of the earphones or headphones, excuse me. And

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

00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:03.919
figure out how to take this one off. Yeah, you can exchange this one with the

00:07:01.840 --> 00:07:10.960
plasticky one as well. Okay, so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the

00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:12.720
Triton AX51 Pro 5.1 headphones. Oh,

00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:15.280
that's really uncomfortable without the foam piece
