tritton, tritton ax pro, tritton gaming headsetWhat a difference from the PX21 and the X41. It’s better than the PX21 because it does have surround and can connect to all 3 systems. It’s better than the X41 in sound quality. I’m not an audiophile but these had much warmer lows and cleaner highs that was clearly noticeable from the X41. I immediately returned both of the previous headsets. The surround sound on the AX 720 is there and very noticeable. I found myself instinctively turning toward footsteps before I saw them.
