I cant decide which would be better. If I get the tritons are the AX 720's a good way to go? The X41's are propably the best to go also right? Im looking for ones that are comfortable and dont leave my wallet completely dry (like astro's).

Easily the trittons, but I'd go with the AX Pros instead of the 720. The 720 and TB X41s are only 2 speaker using Dolby Headphone to play Dolby Digital signals (5.1 or surround sound) over 2 speakers. From my past sets that did faux surround, all did not offer as good of positional audio as my AX 360s, which are an older model of the AX Pro. the AX Pro offers better SQ and PS3 compatible mic as well as 360. Also the AX Pros and AX 360s have 8 speakers, 4 for each ear, for true surround. 1 sub in each, 1 center in each, 1 for left front and left back, 1 for right front and right back. IMO, far superior than any similar priced headsets for surround sound in games. Now if you wanted headphones for music, thats another story
Those tritons sound pretty decent, but (assuming you have owned them before) how comfortable are they, and how long should they last?

I can't speak for the AX Pros, but for the AX 360s they are extremely comfortable. Owned them for a little over a year now. Almost every headset I've owned takes awhile to break in for the comfort, and now these are almost weightless to me. gotta break in my Sennheiser HD555s, far superior SQ to these trittons and TBs but no mic, comfortable at first but get a bit tiring. guess putting them over a folded pillow for a few nights will help

As for the accuracy of positional audio, you seem a bit mislead. Using only two speakers and Dolby Headphone technology, you actually get much better and more accurate directional sound. It gets pretty techy, but Dolby timed how long it takes sound to reach either either from each position. If you have mulitple speakers in each ear, you just have those indiviudal speakers creating the noise and the direction depends on the positioning of the speaker in each eap cup, which can be inaccurate. For more information on Dolby Headphone Technology, refer to the following site:

Now i've owned both the Turtle Beach and Astro Headsets, and I have to say my experience with the Turtle Beach headset blows the Trittons out of the water on several bases. I find the Trittons have very little base which sucks when your playing games like Call of Duty and want to really feel the action. The Trittons fit your head weird and are very uncomfortable, while the Turtle Beaches are extremely light to the point you forget they are even on your head. Last but not least, the wireless Turtle Beach means no tangled up in a mess of wires!
