CONCLUSION

   Having already tested the previous AX Pro 5.1 surround sound model i just knew that the PRO+ would not disappoint me and i was right at least for the biggest part. So once again the audio quality is amazing with clear and accurate mids/highs which are accompanied with a very good amount of bass so people who think that having a total of 8 discreet drivers in both earcups is just for show or for better positioning audio are just wrong. Positioning audio is also great when used while watching movies with Dolby/DTS sound and while playing game titles that feature Dolby Digital/Surround compatibility. Unfortunately the majority of games out there do not and that's why some people can't notice any difference between a virtual surround and a "real" surround sound headset. On the other hand for the few games that do support Dolby surround audio and for movies the PRO+ is hands down one of the best headsets out there. It is a bit harder to use than your everyday virtual surround headset because of the extra amplifier which in turn increases the number of cables but I’ve been using the updated AX Pro for 3 years now and I’ve never had a problem with it so i doubt anyone will with the PRO+. Not everything however is perfect ever so unlike the updated AX Pro the new PRO+ doesn't come with an extra pair of earpads nor does it come with a vertical base for the amplifier and i really don't know why that is. Cost would be my primary answer but i doubt that TRITTON saw prudent to remove these two extras in order to cut down the cost (i mean how much could these two extras cost to a manufacturer?).

   Although at launch the PRO+ True 5.1 Surround Headset was somewhat expensive (just like its predecessor at launch) now you can find it for just USD129 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 105Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). Now i don't know if you've been following our reviews but around the same price range one can only find virtual surround headsets that may have less cables and offer pretty much the same positioning audio in most games but in movies and in the somewhat few games that truly support Dolby Digital/Surround there's simply no contest. In the end the PRO+ may not be worlds apart compared to its predecessor the very good AX Pro (so if you have that model i see no point moving to the PRO+) but it's more comfortable, looks better and has a bendable microphone so once again TRITTON has introduced a very good "real" surround headset worthy of our Platinum Award.
