Tritton 720+ 7.1 Surround Multi Platform Headset Review
Peter Donnell / 12 years ago
Tritton really have gone all out on this headset, although the same can be said for the rest of their range as they have clearly set out to make some of the highest quality set on the market today. In terms of sound quality, build quality and design they haven’t cut any corners and this is especially true with the 720+ headset.
While this isn’t the top of the Tritton range, with headsets like the Tritton Warhead offering the premium Xbox 360 audio experience at a price of around £150, I think the 720+ is way better value for money. Sure this headset is around £130 and that is no small amount of change to spend on a headset. But when you consider the audio quality produced by this headset and it’s wide range of device support that makes it perfect for those who have an Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC, Mac or even all of them.
The only thing I will point out at this point is that the base unit only has one optical input, so without use of a splitter cable (not included) you will have to hot swap the USB power cable and optical cable from device to device, although this does only take a few seconds it does mean mucking about behind your TV/Console when you want to make the switch.
Tritton have a really defined style with their latest range of headsets, something that shines through on everything from the Detonator to the Warhead, with the strong angular design, high contrast colours, very high quality tough plastics and a very menacing design in some cases, now this is going to be a matter of prefference but I think this is one of the best looking headsets on the market at the moment. The high gloss white finish really makes this set look and feel more expensive that it is.
So if your looking for a premium build quality, high performance and overall rather durable headset for those long gaming sessions then I highly recommend you check out the 720+ from Tritton. While I could give them our gamers choice award, this set performs just as well with a good movie or your favourite album, which is why I am happy to award them with our Editors Choice Award.
