I was just wondering. Does anyone use the Tritton Detonator headset? I'm looking into getting a new headset for around €60. Reason being well I... ehm.... "accidentally" broke my x11's. I never really liked them that much either way.
I have a set, love them !!!!! Haven't used the expensive higher end TB's that our posh pal Dark-Knight has so really can't say if those are worth a kidney
But in the 60 - 80 price range I've used a few Trittons and Turtle Beach ones and really found little or no difference on sound quality. TB's have an edge regards the mic to be honest, but the reason I favored the Trittons was I found them a better build quality and much more comfortable to wear for long periods. Which was a big factor for me.
One niggle with them is I sit in a pc chair when playing so have the volume control on my lap rather than let it hang down and sometimes if I move the volume dials can rub off my clothing and levels change, but thats par for the course with wired sets, Also the cable that connects the controller to the head set is like the old headset connector on the basic MS headset so can't be used with a chatpad connected I had to get another cable, which was a little annoying.0 -

Cheers mate. I'm no Audiophile so I'm not really that bothered as long as they sound better than normal speakers. I heard a few problems with the mic on them. How has the mic been for you?0 -

I get echo from time to time, as in I hear my own voice back. I tested it between the two xboxs in the house here and had no issue with it what so ever, and only get it occasionally but when I do it's annoying.
Only thing I could put it down to was the quality of the connection to other people
Also very occasionally I have complaints re: the quality of the voice output of the mic, in that it sounds robotic. Again tested here between 2 xboxs and no issue.
The other thing I had was a low hum/buzz when the mic was connected but I had that on the X11's too. Sorted in both instances by changing the USB port form front to back or from back to front port.
As I said my main reason for using them is comfort, the mic issues I can live with as I don't play multiplayer games that often but if it's something you will be using quite a bit then the TB's are better regards the mic. Never had issue with them in that respect.0 -

Cool I'll pick a set up soon so. I play mostly online with friends so if I find it that bad I'll make up something and return them. I would go for x11's again but as you said they really aren't very comfortable and I had some pretty awful experiences with mine. My in game audio would just jump around without being touched. Nearly deafened me a few times haha.0
