Astro A40 vs Tritton AX720

So the title pretty much says it! I want to buy one of those but i dont know witch is better for what i want to do with them. I want to hook it up to my PS3 and PC also i want a good mic because i am a youtube commentator and i have a bad mic rigth now. So the question is, witch one has a better mic, quality and compatibility.

Thank you for your time!

Also if you want you can check out my youtube :http://www.youtube.com/user/ModernWorld2x

Astro A40s. They are simply soo much better and the Mixamp can be hooked up to the PC and PS3 at the same time. Tritons don't exactly have the best Mic either. Astros are the way to go if you have the money for them and the Mixamp.P0in7B1ank

So i could split my audio? i could maybe litsen to music from my pc and play on the ps3? and btw. doest it have all of the cables? and i looked on amazon

This should have all i need to play/commentate with? rigth?

My recommendation: neither.

Go for a pair of nice headPHONES along with a desktop mic (or clip-on, though most have inferior quality vs the desktop) and the astro mixamp.

For the same price as the A40's (or less) you can get MUCH better quality.

If you didnt notice then, i want to use the headset FOR GAMING mostly not just for commentating. I want to be able to chat with my friends on ps3.

You should ask this question at the headphones faq. Boz will help you better.

Bowelss is at the right direction. Sennheiser, Audio technica, Akg >>> gaming headsets, the sound quality + built quality just trounces them for the same money.

Oh my smart dear, your thang must of not dropped yet therefore you lack the ability to read and do your own research instead of asking others for help. B.c you can buy a fricken clip microphone to the headphones, therefore you dont need your cruddy headset, but hey I dont think you can hear the difference anyway so buy it keep it simple.

...Yeah, I noticed? Which is why I recommended a desktop/clip-on mic to go along with the headphones (which, depending on what you get, will offer far superior sound quality). If you don't care about sound quality, I wouldn't recommend getting anything past the 720's, which is the only decent deal on a gaming headSET.

Yeah, I clearly shouldn't have responded. Good luck with your headset of choice.

Cheap and half-A'd. Hmmm.

I personally have a pair of Denon AH-D2000's that I use for gaming (PS3/360/PC) and use a clip-on mic/the Mixamp with them. Never realized how cheap and half A'd my setup is vs Astro (Skullcandy) headsets.

So, as an aside, I would recommend not insulting other users. Bikouchu35 is certainly not an idiot, and is only trying to offer you suggestions. Stay positive, and you'll get more positive feedback. ;)

More on-topic, a headset is just a headphone with a microphone attached. Your Gamespot peers are suggesting rather than buying a headset, you instead consider buying a regular pair of headphones and a microphone to use with your PS3 and PC (Example of regular headphones and mic). It's a little more work, but you'll typically save money and get a superior product.

Happy gaming,

Boz

Having used Astro A40 with an Astro Mixamp, owning the AX 720, owning a mixamp with Sennheisers HD 600s - I'd say I know quite a bit when it comes to gaming headphones.

But you know what? Seeing how you treated the posters above me - **** you ;)
