Vagary's reviews editor, Chris Scott, gives Tritton's flagship Xbox 360 headset a go.
Written by Joseph Caballero - "The biggest and marvelous from MadCatz official Xbox 360 licensed headset lineup, has hit stores recently. Known as the Warhead, this headset may be the best wireless Xbox 360 headset out so far. The sound is tremendously great, they’re comfortable, and wireless in every category, but with a staggering price of $299.99 and only Xbox 360 compatible, is the Warhead worth every penny for such an exclusive offer? Read on to find out!"
Other headsets on the market will work with your PC or PS3, but none of come close to being as deeply integrated to your Xbox as the Warhead 7.1. Mad Catz proves once again why their Tritton brand stands head and shoulders above the 3rd party console peripheral manufacturers.
"For the eagle eyed among you, you may well have noticed that we review an awful lot of Tritton headsets – most of which score rather highly, and rightly so. The ones that don’t seem to hit the sweet-spot on the score chart tend to be those with less features. The Kunai for example is a perfectly good headset with fantastic audio for such a low price and small frame, but it can’t do nearly as much as the Detonator or Primer headsets can. On the flip-side they don’t look anywhere near as nice the Kunai, nor do they cost as little. Other than attempting to cram in a load of hyperlinks for you to click on and click through, what I’m trying to say here is that it takes a lot more than just functionality to make a good headset. It’s a combination of features, build and – most importantly of all – cost.
"It’s here that we find the Tritton Warhead sitting upon a fence between the verdant garden of Features and thorny hedgerow of Cost."
